Conversation with a female coworker today. Conversation is basic, catching up on what each other has been doing. Starts to mention something that ”might be inappropriate.” Out of left field comes comments about her breast being too big now after gaining some weight. As if this is an actual problem. Imagine a guy saying, “it’s terrible, my c0ck grew to 10 inches after gaining a few pounds.” I chalk this up to an example of how women will neg themselves to get complements. Working a hybrid work schedule limits the amount of male attention. Ironically this woman is in an LTR but felt compelled to mention her new assets for outside validation. At the same time, she doesn’t want to directly comment about her breast so the conversation turns into a delicate dance of innuendoes and flirting. Made for a fun conversation. So strong was the drive for male attention that a follow up conversation was had on the drive home. If talking about her breast was not desired, then why even mention them? It was a guaranteed way to get the desired response and validation she was looking for. Ego boost achieved.
