Workplace Why do men do this?

I’ve never once in my life seen a woman sit like this. Lol

I do this as a woman because i love putting my arms above my shoulders. It’s weirdly relaxing!

Men are just more comfortable doing this culturally ig

I agree with both, I do this a lot as a woman (maybe it's more satisfying because I have broad shoulders?), but as a woman who also had a Very Large Chest™️, I had to be aware of who was looking in my direction when I stretched 👀

I do this and I’ve got broad shoulders and big boobs. Never thought about it, but it doesn’t matter anyway. I’ve never found that boob lovers to not notice big boobs, no matter the pose.

Real, but I was very self conscious while younger.

it is just the ultimate power move to signal that you have zero intention of doing any actual work. pretty sure it is just hardwired into dudes after a certain age once they stop caring about posture.

Exactly. I also think women wouldn’t usually want to expose their chest or possibly their torso with a pose like this, no matter how relaxing. So that makes men more likely to pull off this move.
