Is it sexual harassment to tell a woman she has nice boobs?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

GENERALLY yes, but it does depend on the context.

If you're in any kind of a professional environment (school, office job, doctor's office, etc.), then, almost always, the answer is yes - it's sexual harassment.

If you're in a bar or at a party, and a girl is clearly showing off her boobs (I was at a bar a few years ago, and a bartender was throwing pieces of ice down a girl's cleavage, and she was pulling her shirt down and spreading her boobs to catch it), then, in that kind of situation, it's probably fine. If you're at a porn convention at a porn star meet & greet, it's fine. If you're at a strip club talking to a dancer, it's fine. And if you're having a private moment with a girl who is clearly happy to be sharing that moment with you, then it's probably fine.

Most other times, it's NOT okay.

Kind of. If she didn't like hearing it, yes. If she did, no.

That might sound a bit weird at first but hey, the difference between happy sex and rape is pretty much also consent.
So what I am getting at is; Maybe don't lead with telling her how smashingly good her boobs look. Unless that's somehow appropriate due to circumstances

Voted no, because if it's a one time thing then I wouldn't consider it harassment yet but you will definitely be viewed as a creep and it will be known that you said that, maybe guys won't know but listen girls gossip. Only exception where saying that is ok, is if you're in a relationship with a girl and it's been 1 year, at the very least 4 months into a relationship. Cause even if you're long time friends with a girl, it's still a weird thing to say.

it is not a gentlemanly thing to say to a woman but you are not a gentleman anyway so she will not want to date you ! would you like it if after you said - she has nice boobs , if she said - thanks but your penis is to small for me - ? ha ! ha !

It entirely depends on the context. If you go around work, or other places, telling women they have nice boobs, that is likely harassment. If you tell your wife she has nice boobs, it's a compliment, not harassment.

oh im sure you very much are aware of the dos and donts when it comes to things like this and if not i suggest you get a book on social skills and anothe on law

[winterfox10]

Boobs aren't sexual organs, so it's not sexual harassment, but it's definitely harassment in most scenarios. If you have to ask if something is okay to do with women: err on the side of caution, and don't do it.

[FireFistAce990]

That's not a proper way to compliment a lady if you ask me. There are other parts which women value rather sexually, take her hair or her eyes for example.

Depends on who she is. Some women will be ok with it, some will be offended. Best err on side of caution and not do it

[Lliam]

Yes, unless you have more than a casual relationship.

[UncleTouchyFingers]

Not harassment but there is literally no reason to ever do that to random women. Its just stupid and unnecessary

[updog45]

I dont think so, but if you even look at a woman for too long or what she deems being too long then you're in trouble.

[notcommonsense]

Strangers? Yes. You on a date? Be subtle. She is down for it? Hell yeah

If it's in the workplace, especially

But, also, if she's not your girlfriend

[zoeadams3]

These days it’s a good way to lose your job.

[Gedaria]

It depends on how you tell her...

[GreatnessBack]

It can be, so don't do it.

[SissyFrenchMaid]

it really depends on who and the moment
