Swipe Right for Cleavage? How Showing Your Bust Affects Your Dating Life
First impressions are everything in online dating. And here we are again at the ever-green discussion about looks and how women are always judged by their cover. Are we happy with ourselves uploading photos to a dating app profile, or do we feel like we are on the battlefield, competing for strangers’ attention with other girls? On Flure, we foster a unique and diverse sex-positive community and are obsessed with making our users happy.
If you pause for a moment and ask yourself: “What should I do to stand out on a dating app?” do deep neckline and red lipstick pop up in your head? As industry experts, we say yes! The difference between your dating app profile and your social media profiles is that you come here to show off, get attention, connect with the people you like, and, let’s be honest, to meet and have s*x. So, if you want a perfect solution that will help you achieve your online dating goals, look no further: sensually showing your body will likely bring you attention (especially if you are interested in heterosexual men).
Multiple questions arise: “Doesn’t it make me a sexualized object?” “Doesn’t it attract the wrong kind of attention?” “Is it ethical to swipe right just for boobs?” and so on. We suggest you stop worrying and enjoy feeling attractive, so showcase your best side. If you feel like showing your breasts (whether they are big, medium, or small) on a dating app because you wanna be proud and sexy, go for it! After all, dating apps are hardly the place to humblebrag.
Of course, we cannot help but wonder: does being physically attractive mean being objectified? And why in 2024 cleavage is still something so controversial? If you have an opinion and want to take part in the cleavage debate, take a moment to answer a few questions about how showing your bust on dating apps makes you feel!
The attraction factor
In the initial stage of dating, your bust can be paramount. Highly advanced mammals, humans are wired to respond to visual stimuli that signal fertility and health. For heterosexual men, the female chest area is not just about sexual attraction; it’s a deeply ingrained evolutionary response. Many studies of human sexuality have shown that men tend to focus on the chest when evaluating a woman’s attractiveness. This isn’t to say that all men are consciously seeking out cleavage, but rather that it’s a visual cue that can capture attention.
For those who want to showcase their breasts, it’s about making a statement. Psychologically, the display of cleavage is linked to confidence and self-expression. A person who chooses to highlight their bust in their profile pictures might be seen as more open and assured in their sexuality. This confidence is attractive in itself, as it suggests a level of comfort with one’s body and appearance. But socially speaking, deep neckline still sparks controversy in 2024. While some countries abandon discriminating laws that prohibit topless women from sunbathing and attending public places such as beaches and swimming pools, social media platforms have stringent policies about displaying women’s nipples.
Bottom line
There isn’t a universal formula for attracting the one you are looking for on a dating app. Ultimately, the decision to display cleavage in your online dating profile is a deeply personal one. As we struggle to understand why showing or not showing breasts on dating apps is right or wrong, let us know in comments what you think about the matter and why physical beauty and sexual attraction are often confused with objectification?
