Yes ladies, if you are "well endowed" both going and coming, any, Red Blooded, American male is going to notice. But when they do notice your "physical gifts" and compliment you on them (and I'm talking about your gifts below your neck), do you take offense or do you consider it a compliment? Why or why not?

*grin* No matter how I dress - conservatively or not - my 'assets' (coming and going) are apparently noticed, going by the comments I receive. I'm so used to the comments I don't even really notice them any longer. I don't dress for anyone besides myself. I figure if someone wants to look, then there's not a lot I can do about it.
If someone wants me to REALLY remember him, he'll make sure I know he has a brain and notices my intelligence, not just my body. Otherwise, I'll realize that he not only has a d***, but he is one.
It's not about what you wear, but how you hold yourself.

Hell no, or else I wouldn't wear it. But it is always a good idea to be TACTFUL. How about just a compliment about how nice you look today? Or, "that looks great on you?" With a big friendly smile.
Everyone likes to get a compliment--and we get the point if you're subtle just as much as a leering, letcherous, inappropriate comment about our boobs. (Or whatever...)
Even women who wear obviously inappropriate clothing deserve to be respected by others. Although I suppose you could support an arguement for, "she's gotta expect it", what will probably happen (hopefully) is that she'll learn (eventually) that she gets the "wrong kind" of attention when she wears certain things. And then what will you have to enjoy? Turtlenecks and flannel?
Oh yeah, and try not to stare. I know it's hard! But TRY!

Ladies don't do either. Men seem to notice you no matter what. It is not appropriate to comment about someone's assets, especially strangers. That is something intimate for an intimate couple. Husbands and future husbands should make those remarks. Compliments are pleasantly stated things to say to someone and can even be said to strangers without being offense.

Well if you dressed like a HO, then be prepared to be treated like one. If you want to accent those Goddess given gifts that's fine, but there is a line between tasteful and hooker.
Too the compliment needs to be subtle. No "Hey nice (fill in the blank with your imagination) (we'll use) hooters!" That is not a compliment. It is vulgar, sorry my opinion. Also if you are saying things that everyone can hear it can be embarrassing, so please use some restraint when commenting. Just a couple of ramblings from me.

Generally, I don't deal too well with compliments.
I often overthink on the actual nature of the comment.
Then again, why do we even bother getting all "dolled" up for if not to "fish" for compliments, right?
Depends on the guy & the delivery, I guess.
Graciously accept with a smile should the compliment is of a tasteful/ respectable nature & simply walk away if it isn't.

if they will just look and appreciate what they saw, it will be a compliment. real gentlemen wont say anything; just appreciate.
bec usually guys who can gather the guts to compliment u are those that have less etiquette; thats what made women offended.
its not the action, its the wordings and its how they were expressed and its about what the person giving the compliment is that make it all offensive.

I'm just going to say that if women out there get offended then stop draping your body with tight fitted clothing, that type of clothing is an option to wear, so therefore change clothes or deal with the consequences of dressing like a floozy.

Of course guys stare but actually saying something out loud ...What could you say that would actually sound non offensive You have a nice rack? Nice ****? I mean come on that just seems rude anyway... But if guys look I can accept it and I am confident with myself so it is okay.

I think if you are going to wear clothing that accentuates your "assets" you have no right to complain if a male mentions them. If you don't want to be noticed, you would dress more conservatively.
