From this thread at Yahoo Answers:

Why do girls wear such low cut shirts..?
showing there (sic) breasts then get mad if guys look at there (sic) ****?! what the hell do you expect us to do ,look away?? girls do you like us to look at your **** or not? if not,why do you wear the shirts you do??

OK, the writer could do with a grammar lesson, but this is the internet remember. (We could start a whole blog on that...)

But, in its various guises, this is a pretty common question amongst the men Breast Stories knows. Goodness knows Breast Stories has been known to ask ourselves that question often enough.

We're not sure that it is only men who ask this question. Our current thinking about this topic was prompted by our breasted partner -- the woman in Breast Stories' life. Now this lovely woman is not prone to wearing revealing tops herself. Breast Stories and our partner were talking about this topic the other day and she told us about noticing several women wearing low cut tops and lacy bras when she was out shopping that day. She wondered what motivates them. Not that it bothers her that they do, just that she doesn't fully understand why they do.

Back to Yahoo Answers.

Breast Stories was fascinated with the responses to this question. We men are really dumb sometimes. We think there is a great conspiracy organised by women to confuse us. We think that all women think the same and act the same. Just a couple of the Yahoo Answers responses show how wrong we can be:

The "goodies" is our power over you men. Sorry but it is true, we use our breasts to get what we want whether it be a smile or free pass from a cop on not getting a speeding ticket. Personally men think we are generally not very bright if we have large breast and that is soooooo not true. I am an educated woman with big breasts and i know when and how to use them. But i also just like men to look, it doesnt bother me at all. Matter of fact i just went to a rally this weekend and had a blast and got lots of beads, and i didnt even show it all! So find you woman that enjoys a little voyeurism! Enjoy and keep on looking, just remember that just because they are big breasted they also have feelings and a brain (sometimes) Ciao!

And

I dont wear low cut shirts.
not because i think guys will look at em but because i dont like wearing shirts like that myself. if i really wanna show my boobs i might as well not wear anything. but those girls think that that is the only way they will get guys hence the term (sl*t) comes to mind

So, as one microsecond's reflection would have told us -- there are lots of different viewpoints. Our best guess is that it goes something likes this.

Some women like showing off their breasts most of the time. They might be inviting our attention, or they might just like their breasts, like how they look and are confident in their own bodies.

Other women don't think about it a lot. Sometimes they wear something low cut because they think it looks nice -- not because they want to show off.

Other women hardly ever wear low cut tops.

And lots of women change how they feel from day to day.

Just as we men do about lots of things.

And women, like men, like to be liked. We like it when women find us attractive. Women like it when we find them attractive. That doesn't mean they want us to stare at them, but they do want us to notice.

Strange thing that, women are people to.
