But, you're right - your proportions appear to be excellent. Seriously, though, I'd rather look into a woman's eyes when talking than at her chest. But, if she has nice pert breasts with erect nipples, then it becomes almost impossible to not sneak a peek or two. Heck, I figure is she isn't proud of her 'assets' she wouldn't be showing them off like that. :-) I remember seeing a movie where the female star had sizable boobs and this guy she was talking to just kept staring at her cleavage. She didn't seem to let it bother her but she put her and down by her breasts, wiggled her fingers and raised her hand to her face while saying, "Yoo-hoo, I'm up here." It was very funny. |
