Man Breast Equivalent

Here’s what I thought about yesterday morning.

Women have breasts. If you have them you know. They catch a lot of attention. Even when you are older, and you aren't as inclined to ratchet them up, they’ll still encounter a fixed stare. Or you’ll sense someone tall behind your shoulder and your hand will instinctively go to your neckline.

So, if women know about the draw of their breasts, are men aware of the draw of their forearms? I’ll see a man with his sleeves pushed up and I think, “Yeah, you know what you’ve got.” But perhaps he doesn’t.  Perhaps he’s just warm, or his sweater’s stuffy.

And then sometimes you’ll see a man with his sleeves rolled up because he thinks that draws a lady's eyes to his crotch level, and if so, no, just stop doing that, man. Instead, cross your arms over your chest so your forearms touch. That’s the best. 

Or perhaps I am entirely wrong, and men just have forearms.

I think forearms are a reasonably common visual attraction for women, but not nearly as universal or as strong as breasts are for men? (... had a typo there leaving the 'n' off of men and... not accurate. I really don't get the breast thing, but whatever, hormones and societal training are a weird combination.) Also, I think women have slightly more diverse types even if they do enjoy forearms as a body part? Actual body-builders with the big visible veins are drastically NOT SEXY to me, but it appears that they theoretically are to some women, for instance; my jam is some extant muscle but without the super low body fat thing where the person appears to have been an anatomical muscle illustration which has had a coat of skin spray-painted over only the muscles with no filling-in between them? But again, this varies, and some women like different levels of visible body hair, etc.

Give me a good eye twinkle with no creepiness, though...

KC - your description of veins makes me think of the recent photos of Angelina Jolie in Venice. https://dailywrap.ca/angelina-jolies-red-carpet-appearance-sparks-health-concerns,7065623026329217a
And all manner of things will be overlooked for a sense of humor and a good conversation.

Oh dear. And all that when who even knows what health conditions she's dealing with privately. But I bet she doesn't think having prominent veins looks good...

YES. Visuals have a lot less riding on them once there's a decent personality affixed. For me the big duo is kind and curious, but also yes, some sense of humor is necessary and good conversation usually results from kind-and-curious unless they have paralyzing social anxiety or similar.

KC - kind yes, but curious, not so much - I am usually curious enough for both of us, no matter who it is, male or female. Pair me up with someone with social anxiety and I get out a chisel and dig out their soul.

[KC]

Curious, for me, includes being interested to some degree in the other weird things that other people have dug up; they do not need to dig up things themselves if enough people in their life are telling them The Neat Stuff.

... maybe don't talk about the chisel to social anxiety, but also that is a hilarious image. :-)

KC - Reticent People do get a little offended at first when I bring out the chisel, but then they break.
