Think about the word "cleavage"

it means literally (from a dictionary site) The act of splitting or cleaving. The state of being split or cleft; a fissure or division

so, the actual separation between the breasts is the cleavage. Completely bare breasted would be showing the entire cleave, so 100%

All depends on how they hang naturally. If they tend to drift outwards you're likely to see 0% cleavage when naked, as the cleavage is only created when clothes/bra force them midchest-ward.

 
Wear whatever you want. If you're attractive, I'm going to be looking either way. If you feel like leaving something to the imagination then I'll just let my imagination do the work.

ok my answer is 100%
 
Some is ok. But too much is very distracting for her male coworkers.

We used to have an admin girl who worked here that all the guys talked about behind her back because she dressed very provocativily. She was over the top and showed lots of cleaveage.
 
Great question. It is hard to explain without showing but I say no shirt/blouse should go mid chest. OR... on a button down shirt, only two buttons should be unbuttoned. No more, UNLESS there is a shirt underneath.
I am very concious of that and other women have made comments that I have gotten ahead at my company because of my "girls" eventhough I keep them covered rather well. :roll:
 
All kidding aside, if I can get fired for looking at them (sexual harrasment), then she should be sent home to put on something more business like. We shouldn't have a double standard, like yeah pull your boobs out, but you guys can not look at them and must make believe that they do not exist. Not fair.

he omitted the applicable definition from Merriam-Webster:

5: the depression between a woman's breasts especially when made visible by a low-cut neckline

Hence, if boobies no touchy, 0% cleavage.

there is no cleavage at that point, unless you are talking about 2 huge blobs of silicone, which is gross.

ok i think my answer is now 0%
 
Now the real question is.. how much of a manly man's chest should be showing? I've seen people let the hairs puff out quite a bit like they're in some 70's cop show.
 
If you are packing B cups or below, you should be shirtless at all times. C and above, as much boob showing as possible without nipple.
 
time for the old guy to chime in...

let me soul search for a minute... ok, done... yup, i'm a caveman...

if u dress like u r hitting the bar and trolling for free drinks, it makes it hard for me to concentrate on the fact that u r really a serious business person... sorry i'm so shallow, but there u have it...

this was a huge grief item back in the 80's at AT&T... the women would come in dressed in a manner that would leave absolutely nothing to the imagination (especially if they bent over the copy machine, whichever side of the machine u happened to be on) and the guys were all being sent to sensitivity camp... not that we probably didn't deserve it anyways...

if u want to be the ceo, dress like the ceo... so if u want to show off your wares find a place where the ceo shows skin...

and to be fair, i don't want the guys showing off their hairy boobs, either...

1. What kind of place do you work at?

2. That's because most office workers need a reason to feel it's okay to hate on someone else, people are 95%+ dicks.

Ah, I was just curious on that first one. I know the feeling though, I'm the same way..I still have a few people that don't care for me, but being nice leaves a better taste in my mouth in the long run so I do it anyway.
 
nekked for the attractive ones
nekked for the semi attractive ones
nekked for the average looking ones
topless for the not that attractive, but if I had a 6 pack ones
burkha for everyone else.
 
I'm old school. I mistrust women who feel the need to flaunt their breasts. Irl business situations, I think it's tacky, like fat women in hot pants, anywhere, anytime.

Flashing the stretch marks on your titties does nothing for me.

In a business situation, showing too much skin is a sign of insecurity and improper upbringing, imho. Keep your puppies in the kennel, please.
