The Midriff Thing

[Chicklet]

Think we're getting close to needing a "style" section in this forum.

This one's just a bit of fun as the sun comes out and thoughts turn to bare bits.

[Chicklet]

Meant to say this is LADIES' midriffs!!!!!!!:D

[Gadget]

As long as there are no streach marks or a massive over-hang, :sick: then I'm perfectly happy to appreciate a bare midrift - no matter the shade of skin. :waycool:
{and also appreciate a toned male midrift - asthetically rather than sensually}

:eek: trust you ya bugger :rofl:

1) it's "stretch"!!!!
2) did your mother never tell you that there are somethings in life that happen to (just about:wink: ) everyone but to which one does NOT draw attention!!!!

[Sheepman]

Of course I wouldn't notice the bare midriff until after we've started dancing, 'cos I'm looking into my partners eyes. (Yes I know no one believes me!) I suppose on the first few encounters I may have been a trifle alarmed, (thinking "should my hand be there?":what: ), but you have to assume the lady is OK with it if that is what she is wearing.
Not too keen if there is an overhang though! :whistle:

So how do the women feel about men's clammy hands on their bare flesh? And why is it that bare bony bits, (eg shoulders and arms) are less "threatening"?

And what about extending the topic to bare men's bits, do ladies approve of the "wife beaters" (ie the sleeveless vests) ? (I've never met anyone yet that approves of shorts on men.)

Sorry - let me refine that: noticable stretch marks. ie ones that look like open wounds or raw scars... :sick: as you say - there are some things in life that one does NOT wish to draw attention to!

If my midriff is exposed it is OK - infact I particularly enjoy the feel of a man's cold hand as it runs across my stomach.
I have only once run my hands across a man's belly( I was also very alarmed) he was young tall dark handsome, and slim and dry!! so that was lucky...Can't think of any men I would like to repeat that with.

Sleeveless vests on a man are an absolute no-no for me REVOLTING, almost as bad as being smelly. A real losing combination!
Shorts on a great dancer are forgivable, they will keep him dancing for longer, and I'm looking into his eyes aren't i? :)

[Tiggerbabe]

I like to wear crop tops, although I must admit I think they look better if I've got a bit of a tan. I hadn't realised that some of the guys might be alarmed/uncomfortable with it though - sorry guys

Oooh have to disagree a bit there ZW, for me, shorts are the no no. In the main, I agree about the sleeveless tops on men but just as I type 5 come to mind that can CERTAINLY get away with it:waycool: :innocent: Vicktor, obviously, and I have to say Dundees own John Lusby and JB have very attractive, er builds!!
The other two shall remain nameless cos I'm shy!!

Sheena, given that you wouldn't even know what an overhang IS, I think you're safe babe!

But, do think we need a bit more clarification on the word.....does, say, a little inch of nice soft girly CURVE that's only really noticable when one gets bent in a funny shape and certainly not there in a layback or when one is pulling it in, say, count as overhang????

just checking:flower:

I knew this was going to lead to trouble :what: If I'm going to come up with a definition, I'll probably need about 2 months of research first :wink:
And Sheena, worry not, you could never alarm me :really: :blush: I was just pointing out that the first few times it happens, especially if the guy is shy, it might be a bit of a surprise. I can't say any man has said to me that they have a problem with it, and they're not rushing to do so here either!

ZW welcome aboard to the forum. I'll have to try and remember to clasp my hands around a cold drink before we dance!

:confused:

If it takes shorts for a guy to keep dancing, then all I can say is that the Milton Keynes men are a bit short on stamina... :wink:

Interesting perspective, though. I would never wear shorts dancing (except maybe on the beach), and I do wear sleeveless tops, and I haven't had any complaints... I hope the ladies aren't just putting up with me... :tears:

Though they are not vests :devil:

Heya ZW.....

If you're looking into his eyes, and hence shorts don't matter...... Why then do sleeveless shirts matter?? I thought that it was only ladies who have their eyes around that level :confused: :whistle:

[TheTramp]

Oh, and I meant to say.....

Sheena, you look fantastic in your crop tops (and all the other outfits too.... bunny girl :drool: ). Please don't listen to anyone who thinks that they have a problem with them.... :wink:

I'm not looking at the shorts or feeling them (honest), cos my eyes are not looking there. There's only one place I'm looking believe me.

Anyway the legs are down there, whereas the bare shoulder and possibly sweaty armpit are in my face. If the man does a neck break then his whole armpit could blot on my left shoulder. Uggh. I guess I'ts Ok if the man's very tall then I won't get wet.
By the way I haven't got a leg to stand on myself. I wear sleeveless tops and get quite sweaty myself...oops

Also very much like the idea of a man in a kilt, but I've only danced with one once. There are more shorts than kilts in MK that's for sure!:grin:

Aha.

All is now clear. If the guys you dance with are blotting their armpits on your shoulder :sick: , you're dancing with the wrong guys. Such unseemly activity is not necesssary, irrespective of height.

There are 10 men I would prefer to cover up for every stunner like Viktor tho....

That's the main reason I don't wear vest-tops: I don't think that ladies would like to see a mans hairy oxter shoved in their face.
There are so many moves that involve raising the arm and having the lady's head close to the arm-pit; I would find it disturbing if I were in their place.

Does a shorn oxter make any difference?


definition of "overhang" - personally, I would class it as hiding the button of jeans. A little 'roll' is only natural.

And I agree with Sheepman - the first touch of flesh on a waist hold/move is disconcerting and a bit of a surprise no matter who: it's sort of a should I be doing this? guilt flash. But I never let it get in the way of dancing :devil:
{agreeing with Greig again... this is getting worrying... being worried by a sheep - shouldn't it be the other way round? :whistle:}

Just curious as to how one should 'handle' ladies with exposed middles: Does the bare midrift invite 'finger-drag' moves? :drool: :innocent:

That question, my friend, just takes us back to the monthly / fortnightly (or is it up to weekly now?? :eek: ) sleaze based discussion, and yet again it all boils down to the relationship and the mood of the two people concerned at the moment in question. There are a couple of hands I love to feel lingering, some it doesn't bother me one way or t'other and some that it would make my skin crawl!!

Now where's Wendy's excellent post on going up infront of the judge again???:D

A sweaty man would get sweat all over your shoulder regardless of sleeveless vest, a thin t-shirt is hardly much protection.

Personally I shave all my body hair :D

All this sweaty talk reminds me of an incident, after the dancing finished the lights went up, and I couldn't help noticing the friend I was talking to had a large sweaty blot on just one breast. To save her embarrassment I said, "Have you noticed ..." and looked down, she looked, laughed, and explained that she been dancing close with a very sweaty man, who came at her from an angle!

Now I know I get overheated, but I hope I don't use my partners as a blotting pad :sick:

The "borderline" case wasn't quite an overhang, but there was considerable bulging involved, which didn't sit too well with the hipsters that were being worn. I didn't attempt a physical inspection :really:

Research will continue tomorrow night with West Coast Swing, I shall be checking to see what difference it makes with a different dance style, one where you rarely get the opportunity to "grasp the problem" so to speak! :wink:

Not being particularly blessed up top I thought I would give 'chicken fillets' a go for a bit of extra uplift. Having never worn them whilst dancing, I didn't realise that when I got a bit hot they would have a tendancy to slip down :what:

Well it was this time last year, when I was at the Walthamstow Ball in a particularly fetching outfit, that the 'chicken fillet' incident occured. Luckily I was dancing with a very good friend who didn't mind that I had to stop dancing as a third breast was beginning to appear and would have ended up on the floor had I not rescued it in time! :wink:

So the moral of that story is either to attach them firmly in place before dancing or just not bother using them! I tend to not bother anymore :D

Sadly my 'Not OK in a vest' list which is very very long also got a quite a bit longer last night...One smelly beardy vest:sick: , and a fab dancer who left me with my left forearm utterly coated in his sweat:sick: but he's so good I came back for more.

Nope, you didn't blot, yank, grip, anticipate or do anything unpleasant at all... it was very nice dancing with you and if it hadn't been so damn crowded I'd have been less inhibited.

I am so relieved, for the first time ever, i showed a little bit of midriff the other night, cos the new jeans i had bought DIDN'T quite in the mirror when I got home-what a sight!
So when I saw the title of the thread I thought some tactless so and so had noticed the overhang at the sides, but the thread was started before I wore the afore mentioned jeans.I was also conscious, every time the man put his hands on my waist that he was getting a handful of blubber. The moral to this story is that I am perfectly happy about my weight, but just need to wear different trousers/ jeans next time!!

Fruitcake:flower: :flower:

[Bill]

No problems with crop tops in dance venues as women have a pretty clear ide aof whether it suits them or not.

Unfortunately, the same can't be said of young women generally :what: Seem to be a lot of young students around who think that being a stone or two overweight is no reason not to show off several inches of very pale 'overhang' and very often 'builders bum'. Looks awful on a man and no better on a woman if they don't have at least a reasonable shape.

I supose it's the equivalent of all young women wearing mini skirts in the early 70's regardless of size or shape :whistle:

I do feel it is encouraging though that the youngsters of today are not letting society dictate to them what they should not be wearing because of their size. I was a plump teenager and tried to cover it all up looking old fashioned and frumpy, ending up yo-yo dieting all my young adult life.my teenage daughter has an overhang,shows it off, is perfectly happy about her weight, eats healthily and has no hangups-good for her i say!!!
(hopefully the overhang and almost builders butt scares the boys away!!)

I think people should be happy with their shape and not be dictated to to by fashion police but a lot of loose flesh hanging over jeans or trousers isn't IMHO - terribly attractive - whether male or female.

in some way every female and every female forms can be preceived as attractive - as can every male and male form. But I would suggest that people are careful about how much and exactly what - they reveal. :D

Yes i am.
Personally I don't like to see amans bits swinging about when he's got a kilt on, I like them to wear undergarments, but I'm not a true scot (well i was born here and so were my parents)
What do you lot think. Sign of a true scot is to let the draught go up yer kilt, commando etc.

And just how do you manage to see a man's 'bits' if he's wearing a kilt ??????? You take a mirror out with you just in case ???


Remember we had a long debate a while ago about women going commando...................more unusual for me to do so - unless wearing a kilt :whistle:

But, do think we need a bit more clarification on the word.....does, say, a little inch of nice soft girly CURVE that's only really noticable when one gets bent in a funny shape and certainly not there in a layback or when one is pulling it in, say, count as overhang????

just checking:flower:

Oh Chicklet I know exactly what you mean! Many a top I have put on thinking I'm not showing too much and then when I get into a particular move where I have to raise my arms I realise sh*t my midriffs showing!:blush: I have noticed that some guys don't seem to mind at all and others just don't know where to put their hands!

I'm off to Spain for a week so maybe will manage to get a tanned midriff which might be just a bit more acceptable??? or maybe I should just buy longer tops!

Hate to embarrass!

PS if I keep both arms in the air the overhang is a bit less!
:grin:

Cheers
