The Offending Post

Many women woke up Monday morning to find this atop their feed. I removed the name of the original poster and the picture of a well endowed woman.

"Let's talk boobs for a sec..

. ?.

Are they any less valuable if they are attractively presented?

So my theory is:

The larger they are, the more they tend to be covered up

The smaller they are, the more they tend to be "on show"

Obviously there are exceptions to the rule.

But it's got me thinking, the more confidence we have in

whatever we're presenting (boobs or otherwise) the less we

tend to shout about it.

We might even try to hide our natural "gifts"

Same with words.

There are a lot of people in marketing working with A cup

ideas and using verbal pushup bras to attract eyeballs,

prospects and sales.

But there are a quiet minority in turtle necks and big coats

packing FF concepts and offers.

So if you're getting annoyed with the people constantly

shoving their stuff in your face - know that you're not alone.

And if you're somebody who's self-conscious about the

concepts, offers and words YOU have... understand that

you're allowing the tossers with nothing to show to

dominate social media.

So show off a little more and let's make marketing classy"

There are six thousand slang terms for breasts. "Boobs" is one of the least appealing and most annoying. Whatever point was being made was lost. In his headline he says he likes "Interesting conversations over whiskey."

Don't drink and post. I never heard of this man before this post. Four different women posted this so it might have gone viral for the wrong reasons. It has been reported. I do not think it is offensive as much as it is tone deaf and puts the audience off.

Breasts are not a zero sum game. If they are connected to someone who is into you- the size does not matter. I would not compare marketing to breasts. What if he compared it to penis size?

Women would have been offended by that post as well. Was this an attempt at humor? Being provocative for provocative's sake? For some strange reason this was the opening post in many feeds.

I usually open with Mando Sallavanti, Deanna Russo or someone I comment with frequently. Cream rises to the top. Seeing a post from a lecherous stranger- he has not built rapport to the point he can talk about mammary glands.

Maybe if someone knows your writing style and you work in the confines of familiar ideas; it could work. What was the point of this post? To annoy anyone merely trying to check LinkedIn at the open of business. It isn't even interesting.

How someone can talk about breasts and made them seem boring- I am one of the few people who recalls posts. They don't self destruct in twenty-four hours. Suddenly, we owe The Crying CEO an apology.

Yes, I have been on LinkedIn a long time. He has not been mentioned since https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/continuing-failure-crying-ceo-thomas-jackson/?and he could have built on the positive feedback half the commenters used. While his post ran 50/50 this one was more hated than that Joker musical.

Some men do not belong in polite society. LinkedIn is one of the last bastions of civility on social media. Men ruin everything. Whatever point he was trying to make was negated in his discussion of someone else's body.

Do you know what I do when I see a well endowed woman in a business environment? I make eye contact. Sometimes when I delivered flowers the receptionists were seated. Wearing low cut tops in the summer was business appropriate and I looked her in the eyes. She looked right back and seemed appreciative as she signed for the delivery.

Believe it or not, I have had people stare at my chest. It is not my most interesting asset and this man, whose posts I never noticed before, will fall away. Take comfort in the fact the only boob he will ever see again is when he looks in the mirror.
