I just had an odd thought.
In New Orleans, its apparently traditional for women to flash their breasts, and in return get beads. (I think this is just during Mardi Gras). I recall having lunch with my wife at a local restaurant which was made up in Mardi Gras trappings (we were in Pennsylvania), and she was given a string of beads with her change. Upon seeing them, our office secretary smiled and said Wow, did you have to show them your boobies? Which neither of us understood, at the time...
Anyway, when they happens, you can pretty much guarantee that if there's a guy nearby, he's going to look. Doesn't matter if the woman's young, old, skinny, fat, whatever -- though more for the young, tanned, and nubile, I'm sure.
So here's the question: is there an equivilent action that men take that will just about always attract a woman's attention? For the life of me, I can't think of one....

I've had a rough day and this post just made me laugh. Thanks for that.
I'm not sure if I can really think of an action that will just about always attract a woman's attention. Most women would like to pretend they are above looking at "inappropriate places", but they are really not hah.
That is traditionally during Mardi Gras, but it does happen on Bourbon Street pretty much any time at all. It's become kind of a permanent Bourbon Street ritual.
Usually if a man want's to get a woman's attention all he's got to do is hold a sign that says, "Single, straight, and I have a job".
That'll set him apart from the rest.
(Relax, I'm being snarky ;-)
Damn, LC -- I blow it, two out of three! And whats wrong with snarky?
And Shannon -- thanks for letting me know that my years of sock-stuffing weren't *entirely* wasted... ( I recall reading an article years ago about body language, and how one of the gestures guys would use would be hooking their thumbs in their belt, the index fingers curved down and inward. I never did that. Felt silly. Of course, I guess drawing the bullseye there likely wasn't a good idea....)
Of course, what you both know (and I suspect any woman knows), its not so much what you see, as what you see that you *aren't supposed to see.*
But you've already got your girl, Bill. You're home free, man :)
People don't always get my snarky. I guess that's why I put in the disclaimer. Just making sure you knew I was joking.
I got it. I think you and I have a similar sense of humour. You really should go get that fixed....(g)
And yeah, I wouldn't change this for the world. I am very, very fortunate.
As a random comment to add to this, this post reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend a few months ago. She thought it was unfair that guys could so easily see the size of women's breasts, but there was no way to really tell a guys size, and I don't mean man boobs haha.
My friend might be thinking about this kind of stuff too much. But I guess there is always the imagination.
Its weird, for sure. I used to think, when I was a kid, that breast size equated to milk production capability, so maybe that what the reason that women so equipped were popular. Then I found out that that wasn't true... and that there are guys who prefer small-breasted women anwyay. (The girl friend of a roommate used to wear a tshirt that said Small Breasted Women have Big Hearts.)
It *shouldn't* matter. Thats an advantage of the net. I have no idea what you look like. What comes across is you, the core; not you, your bra size, weight, or anything else. I like that.
As long as you have big breasts, that is. *g*
Haha of course, I have huge breasts, an hourglass figure, blond hair, blue eyes, legs that go on for miles.
I mean all this is true as long as you aren't lying about your six pack abs and close resemblance to George Clooney haha.
Got to watch those analogies, Shannon -- last time I heard someone say that they had an hourglass figure, they added that all of the sand was down at the bottom.
Did I say George Clooney? I meant ROSEMARY Clooney. Sorry about that...
Its gotta be a killer to have people make assumptions based on your bra size. I'd like to think that only happens occasionally. Guess its gonna have to be another of those things that you hope the NEXT generation will get right.
