Women's clothing and men gawking

Staring is quite rude.
But if a man “checks out” a passing female subtly, there’s no harm in that.

This thread reminds me of why I have a love/hate relationship with saris, and those colourful long African dresses. Saris are meant to be beautiful as are those dresses. I'm actually staring at the sari, not the woman. They are gorgeous. But sometimes the woman thinks you're looking at them.

Same thing with teenage girls who wear slogans on their t-shirts. If I knew them well when I taught, I'd ask the friend to read the message for me, and we'd all have a laugh, cause they both knew why.
I wish saris were more comfortable. The ones worn at weddings may as well just be a bunch of jewellery chucked on.
But they are quite dazzling.
My cousins used to joke that our mothers were wearing blankets covered in gold lol

Its a common term prevalent everywhere.

Let's face facts and not beat around the bush. They flat out use sex to make money. If they weren't doing that, they would be prostitutes.
It’s indeed the preferred PC terminology in certain corners of “gaymer culture.”
It’s not used in common parlance amongst the civilised.

If you know how to wear them, they are incredibly comfortable. (According to Boss) Yes, the North Indian or fancy ones for weddings aren't. For one, the blouse is way too tight. Dhoti (veshti) has to be the most comfortable thing ever.

Ahh I think the Indian stores near me only really sell the Northern stuff. Ironic since all the “aunties” and “uncles” who own them seem to be southern :shrug:
I always hated the stitching in blouses. Don’t know why, it just digs into me.
That’s why I always defaulted to Salwar Kameez when going to temple or other various social gatherings.
That said there’s a lot of modern saris that seem very compact and easier to dance in lol

Boss would choose Salway Kameez for comfort. When she volunteers at the temple (once a week right now) that's what she wears. So too when we travel. But for a special occasion like a festival, it's sari sari sari.

Smart woman. I do tend to break out a sari or two during Diwali in particular.
Thank the gods alcohol is usually reserved for parties. I could only imagine poor drunk me struggling in heels and an overloaded sari at temple lol (kava consumption notwithstanding.)

Is kava the same stuff they call grog in Fiji?

Yes. Awful stuff. Muddy water, really. Usually imbibed during Kali festivals. And since it’s technically prasad I dare not refuse.
Personally I think Ma would prefer a nice wine or glass of bourbon. But alas, I don’t make the rules.

I drank some (3 cups or so) out of curiousity many years ago. Similar to too much caffeine, that was my evaluation.

I find my Georgette saree comfortable when I'm not carrying a baby around. The weight gets everything shifted around(or worse, he pulls out a pin). I usually wear a saree when going to the temple, though. I think I wore it wrong for a year before anyone pointed it out, though(I had the pleats off center), and that was at a restaurant!

Salwar Kameez are awesome, though. I tend to wear those a lot, just because they're beautiful and covering, so I don't have to worry about being inappropriately stared at, as is mentioned in this thread!

Yeah, it’s a stimulant. Supposedly. Although it seems to be blamed for indolence in Fiji, so I dunno.
But it can make your lips numb, similar to alcohol.

I’m more of a singlet and shorts gal. But I’m also from Australiastan, where the national uniform is pretty much “board shorts.”

Nope...it's a mechanism in our genes that keeps us interested in procreating. When you think about sex without stimulation then I think you'll find mostly that it's awkward, unnatural, and time better spent fixing the tractor.
Gawking is in our genes? Undressing women with our eyes is biological? What if you were blind? Does that mean you can't be stimulated in other ways, other than gawking at a woman's behind? Or maybe none of what you are saying has anything to do with nature? Maybe it has to due with socialization skills, or the under-developed skills of adolescent males?

At 70 I plan on leering at women for as long as I can. f you don't like it, tough...get off my lawn.
I have 12 grandchildren, nine of them female, and the idea of them being leered at simply disgusts me. So, let's compromise: we'll stay off your lawn and you confine yourself to it rather than polluting the environment with such adolescent male chauvinism.

What? Me worry?

If i were blind I'd opt for the Braille version...
