How do you feel when guys check out your boobs?

Splash News

Last night at an event honoring Michael Douglas, his father Kirk was caught gazing upon Catherine Zeta-Jones' breasts. She has a lovely décolletage and bountiful cleavage, but an older man checking out his daughter-in-law's rack? Kinda creepy.

The "my-eyes-are-up-here" phenomenon is one that has probably existed since the beginning of time and will never go away. Men see boobs and they can't help but look. Whether we wear a turtleneck or a low-cut top with a push-up bra, guys like checking out our boobs.

While looking through photos my friend took at my birthday dinner, I noticed a picture of my boyfriend staring at my chest. It was hilarious! Obviously, he's my boyfriend, so I'm not embarrassed or annoyed, I just think it's funny that he was caught on camera taking a peek. On the other hand, in real world situations when I detect a stranger--particularly a much older man--distracted and looking at my boobs I am completely grossed out and feel uncomfortable.

Many women go out in revealing shirts with the exact intention of grabbing a man's attention, so why is it that in certain instances a guy taking a look makes us feel angry, annoyed or disgusted?

How do you react when you catch a guy looking at your boobs?

    Well I have 38d fake boobies!! i love them my bf hates them... I think its sick, stupid and disgusting that every guy thinks if you have an awesome rack, itz their place to look and look and look. And i only ever wear low cut tops if im heading out for the night. I'll be wearing a freakin loose T-shirt and guys still have their eyes glued to my ta tas. It just go's to prove that men are sick perverted dogs at any age PERIOD!!!!

    I am a rather busty girl and not generally self-conscious. I am not one for low cut or tight shirts at work, however the girls are large and it's hard to hide that. However I have had 2 instances at work that really creeped me out. One was a boss who's eyes always drifted to my chest while we talked (he also readjusted himself in my presence often). Another was a creepy pervy coworker who looked and commented often. As a result I ended up wearing my lab coat all the time to keep the staring and comments to a minimum. However, it isn't good to be wearing your lab coat in the office etc since it's intended to keep lab contamination in the lab. Thankfully my current bosses know how to behave professionally. I have refused a job offer from a company who's owner stared at my chest durring an interview. Once again, I was wearing an appropiate button down shirt and not showing cleavage.

    LOL @ Kirk Douglas in the pic.

    Kirk to Michael...

    "Sorry Son, its just that *ahem* the décolletage and bountiful cleavage is screaming for me to look, especially when my cervical vertebrae aren't really as functional as they used to be. Catherine is quite tall, therefore, I admit, I am going to look down. I'm old and don't have much time left so to put it bluntly......She's Hot..F*Off. I looked get over it."

    Anyways...yes I look but I don't get caught staring. Who doesn't check out the opposite sex? The point is not making yourself a creep by evaluating a woman solely on breast size. Sheesh.

    I'm sorry Rockin Mom but #2 you're right LOL but seriously......just like uncomfortable bra straps or an itch, we need to adjust just like women, granted the timing isn't appropriate in mid conversation......but you still looked, either inadvertently by peripheral vision or intentional:P

    As for #1..Agree 100%. ;)

    It all depends on who is looking and how they are looking at me.

    I'm a very small framed person but still very chesty so I get looked at all the time by both men and women.

    However, I am pretty use to it and have never gotten mad about it but I must say that I have been grossed out a few times when guys were looking at me is a disgusting manor or sorry to say this, some really old guy was staring at me. Sorry, it creeps me out when some guy that is old enough to be my grandfather is checking me out. Yuck!

    Girls/Women need to know a 50-year old guy looks that old but doesn't feel it on the inside. We know you're 21 and don't find us attractive... but we feel 21 inside and can't help but look if they're nice. Sorry, but that's how we're wired. Creepy is creepy no matter what, we get that too. What you women might do is brow beat your fellow sex when you see an Anna Nicole Smith or other money grubbing scant (see Hugh Hefner) who parades around with young women willing to compromise their dignity for the sake of $$$. Isn't that annoying, women?

    Yeah I have to deal with this issue daily. My boss is much older and he constantly stares at my chest when I'm asking him a work-related question, like he's in a trance. And it does not matter if there is a lot of cleavage showing or just a little. I've learned to just ignore it and not to take it too seriously. Besides, I figure, this is a man's world anyway, they get all the big breaks in life. At least we have something they all want. Ha, that would be great if we would just all start playing with our own boobs when they stare like that. HA HA HA. Drive them insane!
