Butt Crack Issues [Archive] - MacRumors Forums

Everyone knows the stereotype, large fat plumber, rooting around under a sink, jeans revealing way too much.

Well, I had an eye opener today at Trader Joes (super market) that takes the stereotype and throws it out the window - and its still not even remotely attractive.

I was in the beer and wine section, looking over the selection and this quite attractive, 20 something gal in jeans with no belt, wearing them low on her hips bends down to grab a 12 pack in a box. She crouches down and HELLO, there it is.

Now if I had seen the girl naked I'd probably not feel the same way, but just seeing it like that really turned my stomach.

Not only that, a bit later in the car, trying to rid myself of the image (I couldn't) I realized that since I managed to see anything at all (knowing something of women's underware - I'm married, so don't go there) means that she probably wasn't wearing any at all. Oddly enough, this didn't make matters any better.

Weirdness....

That has to be the number 2 sign of aging after grey hair. ;) :p

(and that only applies if she is cute. ;))

I think it's time for your wife to start worrying.

That's pretty scary there. It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where they're talking about "good naked" vs "bad naked". There are some things you just don't want to see a person do if they're naked (or in this case showing crack) even if that person is very attractive.

Still, be glad it wasn't a 52 year old overweight plumber... ;)

It might be a matter of personal preference....even if I was 20 it wouldn't turn me on.....it just seemed a bit unnecessary. I prefer seeing cleavage in the front ;)

i can't really speak to this, but if it were a guy in the same position... i think i'd be like "get up, pick your jeans out of your asscrack, and move along". It's pretty gross. Now on a really fine guy, low-slung jeans that show just a tiny bit of ass curve are totally hot... but let's leave the crack out of this.

Call me a freak but I don't think I would mind a woman showing a bit of crack. Admittedly though the almost hidden is more enticing then the al out there. If it really bugs you then just do what I do when the image is grotesteque. Visualize pitching coins.

If she is attractive... it depends.

I'd only have a problem if she has more hair on he ass than I do.

Of course the image immediately deteriorates with a hairy back and a tight tank.

I have to agree with Paul and Mr. A. I've had a similar experience before (suprisingly, at the grocery) and it wasnt all that good.

Tiny bit of ass curve is very very very hot. -Ass crack, not so hot. I dont know why it is, but seeing a chicks ass full on is nice, but seeing the top of her crack out of some jeans just isnt quite the same. My favorite look is those new boy-cut undies. Yikes. I know they've been around a while, but damn, me likes.

And I'm 24, so no worries Duke-my-man. Oh, and she could have been wearing super low rise undies.

the problem with low rise jeans is that they make relatively thin people look fat....it's the cut and only the very slim can pull it off

anyone else looks rather sloppy in them and it tends to show butt crack which adds to the overweight look of a person...if fashion models were fatter overall, then i don't think people would look fat in low rise jeans

it's unfair when one sees a very tall and thin model look proportionate in those types of jeans and have the average shorter and fatter girl try and pull it off...it just makes them look shorter and fatter

i wish low rise jeans can be redesigned with a better cut and not look like people are squeezing into them while they want to fall off the body and more importantly, have society accept larger body types as attractive

i think the context of seeing a butt crack while shopping for food is just bad timing...for most of us, food and butt cracks do not go together in the same moment...i don't really mind the idea of a nudist camp but the one place i wouldn't like to hang out in a nudist camp would be the cafeteria...i think i would lose my appetite

prehistoric man probably had no issue with butt cracks and sitting around the fire eating dinner...it was probably all just the way things worked and there was no stigma to anything...food goes into the mouth, discarded food goes out the butt...no big deal, just an efficient way to run things ;)

This girl wasn't fat at all. She was nice a slim without being too skinny and pulled off the hip huggers nicely. It was just the squatting down and the pants not having anywhere to go but down that caused the issue. I think that's what got me the most...you're so used to seeing it in much fatter people....

i also know the pain of an unwanted look down the mineshaft, only it was on a woman who was bending down to pick up her young toddler. it was also in the supermarket, coincidentally enough.

the incongruence of ladycrack + mom almost blew my fragile mind. you know that feeling when all of your synapses fire in different directions and every lobe of your brain reports a different emotion? yeah, that's the one.

agreenster

Mar 9, 2004, 09:42 AM

Perhaps it isnt the appearance of said ladycrack this is so offensive, but maybe the angle in which it was viewed. Without getting too graphic, but seeing the top of the butt isnt too appealing, especially when she's crouching (mimics the act of "squatting," or poopin') and you're standing.

Now seeing the cheeks and "the rest" is probably more genetically disposed to create arousal...

But this pic totally blows my theory away...

There's nothing tasteful about desperate celebrities craving attention by appearing starkers on the front of a magazine. It did nothing for Demi Moore and it'll do nothing for the air-brushed Aniston.

Jenny A up there isn't showing crack, she's just showing butt. that's different. you wear pants so people can't see your butt. or you wear low-slung pants so people can see a little of your butt and buy you drinks in order to see more of your butt.

but if you bend over in the piggly wiggly* to get a sack of peas and everyone gets a look all the way down the turnpike to the tollbooth, you're just throwing it out there. and sometimes i don't want to get smacked in the face with someone else's butt. i don't know about you, but i don't do my shopping in the beautiful-people-only supermarket.

The amazing ambiguities of butts!

Butts can be cute, butts can be not-so-cute.
The same butt can be both cute, and not-so-cute.
Butt exposure can be both very positive and very negative.

If they're your thing, you may always be looking for another butt.

What we need to explore yet is the phenomenon known as 'Butt IQ'!

I realize that, but they'd have to have been super, super low rise....there was about 3" of crack :confused: ;)

Doesn't mean she didn't have undies on...a nice snug pair of jeans will pull the undies down right along with 'em. Trust me, Mr. A...I know about women's underwear first hand. :p

Problem is, hip-huggers for girls are modeled on the "boyfriend" jeans (i.e., mens' jeans which are already hip-huggers in comparison to where the waist on womens' jeans used to be) and then exaggerated without any reference to the fact that women have more rear than men do. So even the little skinny-mini teeny-boppers have to be careful about leaning over in their Ultra-Low-Rise jeans....or even just their regular Low-Rise jeans.

The most unbelievable part of this phenomenon is that it gave birth to a trend of "decorative" thongs for a while, where the decoration is placed--you guessed it--right over the asscrack. Kind of an "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" philosophy, I guess. Actually Victoria's Secret still sells those.

Say no to Crack!

Yeah, you got a good point on the crack.

But I stand by my point that she has only achieved an empty notoriety through nothing of any substance. I mean have you SEEN any of her movies?, Rockstar, Office Space, Picture Perfect?? Along Came Polly must have been about as challenging as eating a bowl of cereal.

I agree the Jennifer Aniston photo is tastefully done. Art museums are full of them. I actually have two of them hanging on the wall. Then are both done in pencil. The second photo by stoid is very unappplealing. Itr does seeem that low rise jeans are quite the trend among the young ladies. The only thing that I have ever ntoiced is the underwear, quite possbbly Victoria Secret.

Hey, I never said she was a great actress. What I said was that the Rolling Stones covershoot predates most of her fame, and isnt the source of it. At least the peak of her fame. Besides, its tradition for RS to have naked people on their cover. And hey, who's gonna break tradition? Certainly not Ms. Aniston. :)

Friends can be funny though, but mostly because of Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry. "The Good Girl" was interesting at best...

That not as bad as my school where we have wonderfully gross girls with thongs stickingout of whichway and you still see crack.

If the girl is nice -- Fine.
If they girl is a girl at my school - ahhhh my eyessss.

Low rise jeans + 10 sizes too small + Thong (or nothing) = My school. :o

You speak the truth there sir, I can not deny.

If her buttcrack back then was used to somewhat accelerate her fame, for good or for bad, I can't think what supermarket buttcrack accelerates apart from stomach acids ;)

Not only that, a bit later in the car, trying to rid myself of the image...

Was this a psychological purge or a "pants around the ankles" purge? :D

I was in the Black Hills last June, camped out by Deerfield Lake, and this large woman took her kid into the "squatter" with her. My girl and I were prepping dinner. I made the mistake of looking up and all I saw was thick white flank hugging nasty outhouse porcelain. It was a horrific "sideshot" that left me ashen-faced for several hours. For some reason, the woman's daughter was holding the door open (probably to let the stench out).

Nonetheless, I believe it is the "shock element" that has you rattled. You weren't expecting it. If you were out trolling the aisles for skin, it wouldn't be a big deal (except to local law enforcement).

Yep. I think the stereotype has been ingrained so deep that some people think that buttcracks do not apply to them.

I, too, have been scarred for the rest of my life with the image of a quite attractive 20 something gal in jeans, bending over and revealing something more than she intended. This was at San Jose Airport, after Sept 11, 2001. I was there to pick up a friend, and a woman did just that. And I was not alone. Another guy, a stranger was in the same line of sight, and both of us were stunned to silence.

Afterwards, when the stun effect dissipated, I had the irresistible urge to take a $1 bill from my wallet and give it to someone. But she had gone on.

I was going to post this long defense of butt cleavage as a general fashion trend, butt it's not worth it. Basically, to get away with anything like B.C. (as I'll call it from now on), the woman needs to be REALLY hot, and it has to be done in a VERY particular way. I guess some people here prefer the "normal" breast cleavage because it's easier to get away with, aesthetically....

As for Jennifer Aniston's acting abilites, granted she's not exactly Royal Shakespeare Society material, and I can't stand "Friends", but I was actually quite pleasantly surprised by "The Good Girl". Maybe that's just because I had no expectations, though.
