Breaking Unspoken Rules

Of all the unnatural situations I find myself in I choose to continue one I already practice so to speak.  I have the habit of telling women how nice their breasts are.  Mind you I do not peruse women based on this action, even in that moment.  That would be taking it too far.

     Action:  To engage in conversation with the opposite sex at a dive bar.  Hold a decent conversation about the moment (the day, weather, etc.).  Let the liquid courage set in.  Comment on her breasts or her friends breasts while maintaining a flirty light-hearted demeanor.

     Location:  At my local dive bar.

     Reaction of Peers:  Although this action may come off as abrasive, I am told by my peers I have a way of not coming off as creepy.

     The basis of this exercise is in my opinion, I believe women wear low-cut shirts, exposing the cleavage of their chest which conveniently enough rest just below eye level.  Now with the universal idea of men being pigs, why do women proceed to dress in such fashions.  This is something I wonder time and time again.  Don't get me wrong I appreciate it but don't understand when sometimes women are offended with a quick sneak peek.  I chose my subjects with the least amount of consideration.  With drink in hand I approached familiar faces as well as new acquaintances.  I pretty much told every girl she has nice boobs.  The reaction was as expected.  For the most part I did not get slapped in the face nor did any women walk away from me after such a comment.  Some women even responded with a "Thank you" and how they too admire their breasts.  Some women shared how they wanted to hide them.  Other women shared how their friend uses padded bras to create that illusion.

     What I have learned time and time again is people are prepared to hear anything no matter the location, situation or circumstance.  As long as it's worded properly and with a genuine smile on your face it will fly.  My surprise was how women will bad mouth each other to the opposite sex while the friend is nowhere in sight.  I was more surprised on how women criticize each other physically, even within a small group of friends approached by virtually a complete stranger.
