I have distinct memories of retreating the farthest corner of a nearly empty fast-food restaurant with three, count them three, recieving blankets strategically draped over everything. I looked more like a laundry pile than a nursing mother and I was still thrown out of the restaurant.<BR/><BR/>Now? Friends have nursed their children in front of me, in front of my husband and its no big deal... it's just lunch.Gerbilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05483627399876857508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-28959759993227458982008-05-30T16:18:00.000-07:002008-05-30T16:18:00.000-07:00Ali called it.

What I can t...You're such a perv. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I'm not a Mom. What I can tell you is that I have a guy friend that I'm pretty close to and comfortable with. We work together. We were at a formal business dinner together, and went up a floor to do something? (find someone else? do not remember.) Anywho, my thigh highs were slipping on me, so when we were in the elevator, I took the opportunity to yank 'em back up where they belong. His reaction was a very visible version of yours.<BR/><BR/>I didn't even think about it before I did it, because I don't have my Girl Guard up around him. On afterthought, it occurred to me that he might have enjoyed it (probably because he admitted it), but because he's a good guy who I trust, I don't care. My thigh highs were slipping. That was the most important thing. With any other male coworker, I would have never done it. With him, I didn't ever think about not doing it.<BR/><BR/>Make any sense? I didn't think so. I would just enjoy the show when you get one, and worry less about what they think of you. You're a human male, so you're going to get some kind of enjoyment out of a little boob sighting. They know that. They don't care, because they're comfortable with you. They're just thinking about the baby being hungry or it being time for feeding. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-45171063922213451412008-05-30T07:23:00.000-07:002008-05-30T07:23:00.000-07:00I think the fact that these women don't leave the ...I think the fact that these women don't leave the room or ask you to do so when they are feeding their children shows that they realize you are a decent guy and not out for a peek at their jubblies.

Well, different from anything I'm familiar with, anyway. The stay at home dad thing and the issues/things that come with that.<BR/><BR/>It's interesting. And coming from someone who can articulate it all so well is cool.<BR/><BR/>For example, if I were to come across a situation where I witnessed a boob being whipped out in front of a man, I would immediately wonder about that mom's thought processes regarding it. Is she comfortable? Empowered? Does she even care?<BR/><BR/>Never before would I have thought about what that man was thinking at that moment, and his level of comfortability with the whole thing....<BR/><BR/>Anyway, good luck with the boobs, I mean, playdates.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305850648928447302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-30063114835870758512008-05-29T20:24:00.000-07:002008-05-29T20:24:00.000-07:00I was going to ask if you were hitting on *me* wit...I was going to ask if you were hitting on *me* with the most excellent 'what about boob?' title, because I can't life. It made me swoon a bit. Then this confession about your Ryan Reynolds-lite abs comes into play and I swooned some more, because, well, Ryan Reynolds.<BR/><BR/>But that would make me sound like I was just all darting around and hoping to catch a glimpse, so I could play it off nonchalantly with a "No one told me this was BYOB, but it looks like ya brought your six pack!"<BR/><BR/>I think you're good acting status quo, though I imagine it can be a bit disconcerting. Even I get a little sidetracked and start looking for things over my friends' shoulders when they bring out the boob. I was never that smooth. With my moves, that is. I don't know how smooth my friends' boobs are.<BR/><BR/>I'm stuck thinking about abs, so I'm babbling.
