Oh that was good!

I feel the same way as you mostly. I like to have the twins strapped in for most occassions. Though I have answered the door without one, but only because I was wearing a thick sweatshirt, and to my logic, makes them less noticeable. Right?

At least you didn’t make the mistake I did a couple of weeks ago, when greeting the pizza dude. I had been in my “painting pants” since I was working on a painting and ran upstairs when the doorbell rang. The only hitch? My pants just happened to have a huge gaping hole in the butt that I totally forgot about, as I turned around to grab my money. I was mortified!! I live in a very tiny town, so I’m bound to see him again. :0

Anyway I do agree, if at all possible to be decent when answering the door.

While you probably think you already know the guy’s pat response..I’ll try to give you all the varying male perspectives:

(The assumption is that you have already chosen to answer the door wearing no bra)

Husband – Don’t you think you should strap those in first?
Boyfriend – My girlfriend is so hot!
Pizza Guy – Um
Teenage Son – Dude, that’s my mom!
Pre-Adolescent Son – I need to stop looking! That’s my mom!
Older Elementary School Son – Mom? Is that the pizza guy?
Younger Elementary School Son – Alright! Pizza!
Kindergartner son- Hey, Pizza guy, watch this!
Pre-schooler son- I don’t want to eat! I hate pizza! All we ever eat is pizza. Can I have some ice cream?

I was a pizza guy for 10 years … When the no bra option is selected, you hardly notice when you get stiffed! LOL

According to my husband most men are at least sneaking a quick glance at womens’ chests whether they are wearing a bra or not. I guess it just boils down to what you are comfortable with! For me this means keeping the twins under wrap.

I’m pretty bad at answering the door bra-less… or being the presence of people whilst bra-less. I can’t help it. I don’t have a lot to put into bras, so they’re usually more of a hindrance than a service to me. But the boyfriend is not very happy about this ‘fact of me’, so I’m trying to at least wear bulkier things so that people can’t tell I’m braless. hehe Great post Beeks (there I go with the laziness again – hope you don’t mind)

I always wear a bra when anyone comes over.. pizzaboy, friends, in-laws, my own family! I also put on a hat if my hair isn’t combed.

Also, I have been known to straighten up before the cable guy comes over… AND the pizza boy. It’s the whole first impression thing. And plus we order pizza at least once a week from the same place… usually the same driver… so yeah… gotta look presentable and tip DECENTLY!

I wish my boobs were big enough to need a bra! LOL
So unless my shirt is see-through on some level, I don’t bother with a bra.

I will answer if they aren’t strapped down, sometimes I don’t want to wear a bra, and I don’t give a hoot who sees me in my house like that. it is my house, and I refuse to be uncomfortable in my domain.

From a guys perspective:
If the twins are nice, no bra. If they have long lost the fight with gravity, yes bra.
That is a little chauvinistic, so now for the more sensitive side: what ever you are comfortable with (as long as they still look good).

As long as the robe is thick and fluffy (and no chance of seeing more than one lump or two) I am okay with letting the girls go without guidance.

Haha… your post just made me laugh

I totally agree. If I’m not dressed or up to par to be seen, I’ll pretend I’m not home. LOL.

However for a pizza guy kind of thing where it’s like 5 seconds of conversation, I’ll throw on a heavy sweater and keep my arms folded across my chest!

I have been guilty of not strapping the girls down before opening the door, but only when it’s just me at home and I know I just HAVE to answer the door.

On the other hand, I can not tell you how many boobies I have seen since working at the Post Office. It’s amazing how many women come in with it all hanging out, bending all over for the world to see.
