an uncovered discomfort

I once again must preface my thoughts with a disclaimer. My aim in writing is not to offend but to enlighten. No ill will is intended from these thoughts.
It has recently become openly clear to me of a practice that may not be apparent to many of my peers of the opposite sex. I am male thus I have male traits just for the record.
There are circumstances in life were a male finds it necessary to stoop, crouch, or bend. Unfortunately this harmless action can cause offence to the unaware bystander . Weight gain I feel is the culprit by causing ill fitting clothing. A trouser or shirt that fits snugly dose not lend itself to optimal movement causing a gap when bending, crouching or stooping. this gap of exposed skin most famously known for the occupation of the plumber has become the butt of many a humerus antidote. in reality witnessing such an unfortunate display is shocking to the point of revulsion. other reactions may be giddy silence or a quick aversion of the eyes. i have found the image that is burned into the mind like the glow of the sun with your eyes closed after staring at an welding arch for five minuets lingers for weeks. night terrors have been reported after a particularly bad viewing and no amount of prescription drugs can draw the venomous images from your mind.Check Spelling
having said that, i now address my attention to the ladies. no i have not noticed in the fairer sex the hinny crack of death due to a catastrophic clothing failure what i have noticed although less frequent is still equally disturbing. the offence usually occurs thus. an individual most times sitting is approached by a lady for any number of reasons such as the admiration of a young child sitting on a lap, or sharing of information etc. then there it is. once again i blame the improper fitting clothing the loose fitting shirt in particular .( if you feel i am being to vague you are correct. i am trying to tastefully dance around this issue by only reveling (bad choice of words) or exposing (no that wont work either) relaying enough information to create a point with out offending or embarrassing.) now back to the narrative
to a male this unintentional display is quite disconcerting. I've always been one that communicates wail looking someone in the eye to show respect. in such a circumstance as the before mentioned expose' eye contact becomes an issue. eye contact either becomes so intent as to disturb the offender into the conclusion that this guy is a freak or the adverse accrues when the victim averts his eyes uncomfortably giving the impression of distress or inattentiveness. unfortunately this leaves the intentions of the male up for interpretation never a good thing. this brings us to those of less moral fortitude that finds the third option acceptable neither eye contact or eye aversion and usually receives a slap of disgust . no mater how you look at it or don't look as the case may be it still causes the same sort of discomfort as the male version of the offence. i therefor propose for all to get clothing that fits, be cautious of your vulnerabilities wail stooping, bending, or crouching and if you fill a breeze in an unusual area just think if the wind can hit it we can see it.

  2. Not only women have the frontal exposure problem. Some men of certain gerth can have the same affect but with less fequency. I find that if I drop a quarter in the slot my weight is not guessed.
