This. ESPECIALLY if they are a dental hygenist or such that will be leaning down in front of your face.

sometimes the boobs brush up unintentionally. it's unavoidable.

i think hygienist have fun with that by tormenting boys going through puberty. the hygienist that my dentist had did that on purpose just to make me get a chubby.

some chicks here wear button-up shirts and leave an extra button undone. a few of them are very well-equipped too.

working here is like having season tickets to the gun show.

Distraction? Any cleavage at all is a distraction. I'd rather not see it because I can't get any of it. :(

As much as she wants as long as she doesn't get hypocritically prude and expect me not to look at them.

This thread has made me distracted by cleavage! :p I see it everywhere I go! I look for it to see if anyone is dressing inappropriately, and I must say that the women in my office building do a pretty good job at covering up the goods.

I welcome the distraction. As long as they don't mind when my eyes wander.

Most of my coworkers are a bit older than me though, and I'm pretty sure they welcome the attention.

I like...no I LOVE boobies as much as the next guy...and I mean all types of boobies. Big, small, perky, saggy...fun bags galore. But not at work.

If you show boobs, you're trying to get attention/hit on/promoted.

If I look at the boobs you're showing, then I'm a pig, a male chauvanist, a horn dogger, a serial rapist. It's a no-win for all involved.

I'm not saying to dress like a nun. Heck, a nice knee-length (or slightly above) skirt and a shirt with the top button (maybe two) undone. Collarbones are nice.

But don't show me your boobies b/c then it affects The Business. And we dont' want that.

This is the correct answer.

They were actually talking about this on the BJ Shea Morning Experience the other day. It's sick how incredibly convoluted this is in the work place.

If a man were to have a poster of a semi-naked lady visible in his space at work, nearly all women within eyeshot would cry foul.

Yet if a girl wears a cleavage-showing shirt to work, it's OK.

I'm 23 and a huge hornball, I work at an engineering company where on my floor anything goes (flip flops, jeans with holes, etc). To be honest, in all three of those examples I would be standing behind you at your desk trying to catch a peek. That's just if I'm being honest.

Solid, not questionable at all.

Honestly.

I work in an office with about 90% women.

Some women, like to wear things which show their cleavage. One had a tattoo there. She was talkign to me one day and I was trying to figure out what the tattoo was. I looked up and she was giving me a dirty look. WTF, she shouldn't be showing her cleavage and tattoo to everybody then.

Most women look like this in the office (except maybe the 2nd from the left) and add about 100 lbs.

People are at work to work, not stare at each other bodies. Most adults can manage this just fine, I think its just the kids who can't. I think anybody dressed like in that pic would be fine but anything more and its too distracting/not productive and shouldn't be done.

Pic 2 is too much, 4 might be can't tell for sure. Pic 1 is very appropriate and what I feel like most women would be best off with if the aren't going to go suit like in the link above.
