Staring at my boobs, definately. Especially if he looks zoned out like he's not paying attention. I know they're magnificent and all, but pay attention to my words, dear, not my boobs.
Why are women so overly pissed about their OWN MAN checking out THEIR...chests?
Well...granted, I guess I could have reworded that one.
What about...well...not so much staring at lusty like, but...perhaps the same expression one gets from eating JUST the right amount of good food and then lounging, watching a sunset...that extreme, "ahhhhh" feeling.
In this culture it's standard manners for the person that you are speaking with to look you in the face. If I was talking to someone who was staring at my unmoving foot I'd be annoyed too. Boobs, however, are so highly sexualized that if we are consciously looking at them we are trained to be thinking thoughts probably more relative to the symbolism of boobs than to the actual conversation. This staring/looking/whatever makes it apparent that the person you are speaking with is not listening. It's heavily a body language thing. Now, if I was talking about my boobs, then it would be perfectly acceptable for someone to stare them, because they are a part of the conversation. This goes for males or females, my boyfriend or not

Wow. Indeed, you have put this idea to rest. Well played, Ri. Well played indeed. I am endepted to boob...I mean, you. Tee hee
But you do have an excellent point(s) about cultural ramafications that are indeed placed upon an individuals body.
But what about the (groan) argument placed upon the idea that people who dress, talk, act a certain way should in turn be treated a certain way that is complimentary to their appearance. The classic argument that by dressing a skank, you are a skank. (Or Dava Chappelle's view that if you dress like a cop, you should be willing to accept all the responsibilities of a cop.)
How is showing that the person who is talking that the only singular aspect of her personality that is worthwhile to focus on is her boobs, COMPLIMENTARY?!?!
Semantics my friend. Looking at boobies is fine, because it's hard not to when they are right there...staring at them however crosses that line. People can be appreciative of a person's appearance without being crass like so many are.

Conveying the fact that boobs are an added bonus to an already incredibly intelligent person is what I was...getting...at...?
