A friend of mine, Tzipporah, came over for dinner, and showed a little bit of cleavage.
Another friend, Ben, told me later that he couldn't make brachas or bench in front of her 'display'. (He also asked me to put away all the US Weeklies and other mags with non-tznius ads)
Her problem? I'm thinking it's his.
You can't force other people to cover up.
Unless you're in Afganistan.

If you don't look there is no problem...
A lot of those types that look down when a women passes them are the same ones that stare you down from you backside once you pass...
I wonder what the rabbis would come up with as a brocha over breasts.
isn't mother's milk she'hakol?
its a real thing! a guy cant make a bracha while looking at a girl whos elbows/collar bone are showing
Brocha on breasts? Zokef kefufim, of course! ;-)
but why would anyone want to, MM??? anyways, the real bracha should be "oseh maaseh breishis"!
anon - that is only if she had a breast job...
Uh, you've got the subject of the effect wrong...
"If you don't look there is no problem..."
True - One time my family was eating a Shabbos meal at a really frum family's house. The husband turned his head to the side when he was making kiddush and hamotzei because my mother's shirt was lower than her neckline (not showing any cleavage, just skin). I don't even think my mother was offended.
Well now this I can understand. Turning away isn't enough here. I actually learned about this once, but I forgot what the Halacha was.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure turning away doesn't help. Maybe you can't force a girl to cover up in the USA, but a girl can be considerate and not display when a guy has a brocha to make. All it would take it a shawl or jacket. My grandmother never covered her hair - except during kiddush/hamotzi. It's just basic human decency and consideration for other people.
in college when i need to make a bracha, i just close my eyes. thats what my rebbeim told me.
