I recently went on one of the most bizarre dates of my life. It was at a lively restaurant where my date and I had some trouble hearing each other.
Him: You keep licking your lips.
Me: Really?
Him: Yeah.
Me: I like to keep gloss on them, and now they feel dry. I didn’t know I was doing that.
Him: It’s cute.
Me: Now I feel self-conscious. Quit noticing my tics!
Him: Oh, I’m not. I can’t really see them, because you’re wearing black.
Me: Umm. I said “tics.”
Him: Oh.

This made me laugh this morning. Good post.
Oh so funny! I wonder what he would have said if you were wearing white.
^^
White is really no different than black when it comes to noticing them to any great degree. But the onus is on you to be really responsible. White is not a color to mess around in.
I think it’s much easier to scope out one’s boobs (and I mean men and women here) when they wear white. Black is a slimming color.
Really? I never found white or black to be the best colors for scoping out boobs. For different reasons but either case if they are totally encased in either color there won’t be quality checking out.
Ahh - this is true but a guy once told me - “beware of a woman wearing black “. The upshot being if they’re wearing a sliming colour - what else are they hiding..
