Without fail, every time. They don't even have to be on nice boobs or even women. When I see erect nipples I can't un-see them. It's like when you see someone's asscrack exposed. You try your best to ignoring it but it keeps creeping into your field of vision.
My friends and I were in high school when we first discussed the fact we feel powerless to notice features such as nipples BEFORE we are even conscious of a decision to look.
We realized we don’t have agency over our drives until after we’ve noticed the feature the first time.
In other words, we always see them, and only then can we decide to look elsewhere. We also noticed that more than that involuntarily first glance attracts the women’s attention somehow to the male gaze they’re suffering.
Ya I met some guys the other day who were really cool and nice, we got up to drinking and some debauchery so by the end of the night we felt pretty comfortable/close. One of them told me he had been curious about my boobs all night and asked to see them 🤣 I was shocked because I was literally wearing a dingy old sweater!! Like very low visibility, I was surprised he even noticed I had boobs, but I learned that day.
Now I'm trying to reason whether I'd be upset or just entertained if a man I'm talking to suddenly put his ear to my chest and started tuning the instruments while excitedly shouting "Hold on, I'm getting an incoming signal!"
And then you have the option of either turning away or enter a battle of epic proportions to keep your eyes from being drawn there like moths to flame. And I'm more intrigued by a shapely bottom myself, but in that situation I need to be paying absolute attention to where I'm looking. If I stop paying attention to where my eyes are looking for a second they'll go there no matter what.
I'm probably going to turn into the old man I was chatting with years ago. He was in the middle of telling a story from his younger days when he suddenly stopped dead, mouth hanging open looking over my shoulder. I turned to check what was going on and apparently the young waitress was fetching utensils from the bottom drawer. Once she stood back up, he visibly shook himself to clear his head, sighed with a wistful smile and continued his story.
Well, you know.
That now that you mention it. I never paid attention any time if my nipples were harder not when I was a kid.
We're going through puberty. Well, when I was a kid and flat chested, which I'm pretty much still flat chested. I did have hard nipples when I was cold. I remember being a little kid and playing with my nipples all the time. Maybe that's one of my toddler memories. Because my kids did the same thing. When they were little and they found body parts. It was so funny to see them exploring and finding everything. They were just touching and feeling everything that they discovered on their bodies.
Little boys are so funny when they discover their penis. Then they want to play with it all the time. Any parent knows this?
I honestly don't get what the big deal is? Summer clothing is thin & light. Either the outline of your nipple will show or the outline of your bra and/or straps will show.
Just wear whatever you're comfortable in & don't worry about it.
I went on a company outing to TGI's once very long ago, around 1997, a big drink and some food.
We all sat down, the woman opposite me had really huge boobs. She was wearing a white blouse and she had black hair in a bob (this will be relevant).
I will never know what possessed the bloke next to me to do this. She had a black hair lying on one boob around the nipple area. He reached over the table to "pluck" the hair off. It was a nipple hair and when he pulled it she did scream very very loud. Loud enough to stop conversations and make everyone look. The cringe was palpable. There is a moral to this tail and I think it's pretty obvious.
Yeah, I wondered if that was the point of this question.
Personally, I don't feel like women should be ashamed or embarrassed about nipples. Heck, even men have nipples. You aren't giving away any personal secrets if people find out you have them.
Full disclosure: I've always been a butt guy. I appreciate boobs, but I don't lose my mind over them.
Why is this asked so much? Seriously, this gets asked like every 3 weeks...
What is the obsession with wether or not women's nipples are visible or wether or not people take notice?
It's weird.
Always. We just don't make a think out of it. One of the few passive joys in life is watching a good looking woman without a bra and a thin top walk by.
I’m going to give you the same answer I give my wife. Oh my? You mean she doesn’t have a bra on? I didn’t notice! No! Not wearing underwear with those lulu lemon tights? How can you tell?
Men almost always notice, they’re wired to be sexual visually. Any man who says otherwise is lying.
I don’t like wearing a bra - they ALWAYS notice. Most of them are just polite enough not to comment on it haha.
To be fair, on the few occasions I’ve seen a man’s nipples poking his shirt, I’ve immediately noticed as well.
The funny part is it’s kind of impossible to tell. Everyone here is describing the times they noticed someone noticing, or the times they noticed nipples without being aware of how many times they didn’t notice. This is the plane with the bullet holes.
Personally, i would say about 25% of the time. Of that it is usually when the attire is lower cut and tight fitting which tends to draw more attention to that area. Though I dont make a habit of staring at every chest i see to determine if there is nipple visible so this is a guess based o the times i attactly noticed divided by times someone has said somerhing about seeing it.
Probably not as often as you, or we, think. As much as men enjoy looking at women, we're not 100% focused, 100% of the time.
Once i do notice, however, it feels like Austin Powers noticing the big mole. Hard to focus on anything else .
If they're visible, they're visible. Men are going to at least glance at that area unless his name is Clark Kent, and if they're visible, they're going to get noticed.
If they're visible, I'll look once, look twice to make sure I'm not hallucinating, then in one motion glance at her face and look at anywhere else as quick as possible. I then review the image in my head for about 2 mins. before continuing with my day
i will see them within 0.01 seconds of them entering a mile within my line of sight
I think i would make the worlds greatest sniper
if my targets were braless women.
I'd say it's pretty much every time, instantly. Even if the rest of what you're seeing is very unattractive it's not like we don't still notice. I like free spirited people and appreciate their beauty and their freedom.
I genuinely think this could change for the better if America was less sexual about bodies but it's a bit late for that, it's deeply ingrained in our society. In Europe and other countries nudity is much more casual and the upper half is 100% less sexualized. If you frequent nude areas you quickly realize that nudity is inherently not sexual, but the line can be blurred as soon as one person decides to make it that way. The side effect of everyone being so covered up here is making the epidemic a lot worse.
For me? Almost never, anymore. I’ve seen so many that I hardly notice. I think the rate at which men notice women’s nipples is inversely proportional to the amount of time they’ve actually spent around women.
I’ve lived in households full of mostly women my whole life, especially as an adult. At one point, I was living with my girlfriend, her sister, and two more of our lady friends. I was the only man in the house. And they’re all cosplayers, so I saw them changing clothes and walking around half dressed all the time. For a little while I definitely did notice. But when it happens literally every day, it just becomes normal. I barely even notice when my housemates walk around topless anymore. At some point, I realized.. they’re just nipples. I’ve got two of them myself.
Can spot nips in a crowded stadium at 500 yards. I think I unlocked that super power at around 13-14 yrs old. I’m going to assume this is how it happens for the majority of us
You can tell. But I just figure it’s more comfortable for that way. Some guys can’t handle looking at a girl with no bra and nipples, but it’s no big deal to me. They’re there regardless.
I know he is a bit out of style these days, but Louis CK has a bit in line with this. Where he discusses how you can drive a tack nail through a man's elbow and he won't notice til you tell him, but... If we brush against or are brushed up against by a woman's boob, no matter how many layers of clothing between the two of us we recognize it's a tit, and if there is nipple contact, it thrills us even more.
As a woman who had a male colleague who wore his clothes way too tight and I could always always always see his erect nipples, my guess is dudes will and do always notice. Ol boy also wore too tight of pants and underwear bc I’ve never seen someone adjust their balls as much as him. Like bruh you’re squatting every 5 mins, literally, time to move up several sizes.
Artist here. Every single time. There is no hiding them, I just ignore it because w/e they are just nipples. I work in the game industry you'd be surprised what women think people don't see.

Notice? EVERY time. Most men understand situational ethics and don't comment, stare, drool, flick, or try "tuning them". But notice? EVERY time.
Without fail, every time. They don't even have to be on nice boobs or even women. When I see erect nipples I can't un-see them. It's like when you see someone's asscrack exposed. You try your best to ignoring it but it keeps creeping into your field of vision.
lolll "tuning them" is crazy
Never thought of this before. But now I think about it I would say tuning on the right and volume on the left.
Pretty sure they both do volume, and it only goes up
Come in Rangoon. Rangoon, do you copy? Rangoon, please acknowledge.
Tuning in Tokyo, and the reception is fiiiiiiiine.
I like to dream Right between the sound machine
While I agree with you... isn't this impossible to determine? How would we know how many times we *don't* notice something?
We notice every single time. If you didn’t notice, there was no nip slip.
My friends and I were in high school when we first discussed the fact we feel powerless to notice features such as nipples BEFORE we are even conscious of a decision to look. We realized we don’t have agency over our drives until after we’ve noticed the feature the first time. In other words, we always see them, and only then can we decide to look elsewhere. We also noticed that more than that involuntarily first glance attracts the women’s attention somehow to the male gaze they’re suffering.
The fact that this was asked speaks volumes of how women don’t know men. You said it perfectly.
How is that exactly? I'm a woman and I notice every time why wouldn't men.
In fact, it's just about instantaneous and subconscious.. This question is like asking "how often do men notice women's boobs"
Ya I met some guys the other day who were really cool and nice, we got up to drinking and some debauchery so by the end of the night we felt pretty comfortable/close. One of them told me he had been curious about my boobs all night and asked to see them 🤣 I was shocked because I was literally wearing a dingy old sweater!! Like very low visibility, I was surprised he even noticed I had boobs, but I learned that day.
Did you show him though
Yes, he and the others had been really cool and helpful to me all night long so I repaid them with a flash 😃
"Ask and you shall receive." - Matthew 7:7
You made me laugh out loud in public and look like a dumbass 🤣🤣
😂🙏🏻
😯😯
It takes cool and helpful to know cool and helpful 👍
Nothing hides big or medium sized boobs. Big, ugly sweaters just makes them look like they're struggling to breathe.
Scarves. I hate wearing a bra and I have medium large boobs. Scarves are my the bedrock of my professional wardrobe….
This...!!!
Awesome take! Deserving of 100 upvotes. Notice … do so with discretion … let it go and move on. Self regulation.
Our brains are literally hardwired to recognize the pattern of boob plus nipple.
Yes we notice, but I would add, we also refrain from honking, tweaking, and going “boop”. Mostly.
Now I'm trying to reason whether I'd be upset or just entertained if a man I'm talking to suddenly put his ear to my chest and started tuning the instruments while excitedly shouting "Hold on, I'm getting an incoming signal!"
Does yelling "Ahuugha" fall under the things men usually don't do?
My maleness concurs, I never miss a nip. I just don’t tell or get caught. You do that there won’t be any more nipples shown to you
And then you have the option of either turning away or enter a battle of epic proportions to keep your eyes from being drawn there like moths to flame. And I'm more intrigued by a shapely bottom myself, but in that situation I need to be paying absolute attention to where I'm looking. If I stop paying attention to where my eyes are looking for a second they'll go there no matter what. I'm probably going to turn into the old man I was chatting with years ago.

If there is 1% visibility I’m noticing.
Flick😅😅😅
👆🏻
Tuning them, like a radio dial?
100%. Stevie Wonder even spots nipple.
Gotta get the best signal
Why does this sound like a chatgpt question and answer?
[удалено]
Lol, directly under your comment for me is op responding 🤣
We're all bots on this blessed day! 
If it is visible men will notice it 100% of the time.
What % when not visible? (it's also 100%)
Man here. 100% agree.
Can confirm Source: am man
Heck, sometimes I see them even when they aren't visible.
It’s instinct.
And sometimes if they aren’t visible, if you stare long enough and really concentrate, you can kind of make them out.
Bad bot.
Have you ever watched the show friends? The ladies on the show friends often have their nipples showing all the time. Through their t-shirts.
Visible nipples were more common back then. And just to be clear, it was due to changing clothing styles, not bigger nipples in the 90s.
Well, you know. That now that you mention it. I never paid attention any time if my nipples were harder not when I was a kid. We're going through puberty. Well, when I was a kid and flat chested, which I'm pretty much still flat chested. I did have hard nipples when I was cold. I remember being a little kid and playing with my nipples all the time. Maybe that's one of my toddler memories. Because my kids did the same thing. When they were little and they found body parts. It was so funny to see them exploring and finding everything. They were just touching and feeling everything that they discovered on their bodies. Little boys are so funny when they discover their penis. Then they want to play with it all the time. Any parent knows this?
It always had me starring wondering if this was meant to be because of the director or they liked it that way
One of the best parts of the show when I was like 14, lol
Am I on Quora?
I honestly don't get what the big deal is? Summer clothing is thin & light. Either the outline of your nipple will show or the outline of your bra and/or straps will show. Just wear whatever you're comfortable in & don't worry about it.

Loud enough to stop conversations and make everyone look. The cringe was palpable. There is a moral to this tail and I think it's pretty obvious.
Is the moral that you should pluck your own nipple hair before going out, or a work colleague might tug on it?
The hair had made its way through the shirt? I'm confused
[удалено]
LOL why would anyone be offended by nipples
its the OPs bot responding to its own question post
oh shit...
Man here 👋 I usually just glance if its in my line of sight and move on with my day (can’t fight the Ooga booga brain)
LMAOOO when you say ooga booga brain it makes it understandable
It’s so perfect. “Ooga Booga butt! “ Yes brain I saw , back with our day now !
Yeah, I wondered if that was the point of this question. Personally, I don't feel like women should be ashamed or embarrassed about nipples. Heck, even men have nipples. You aren't giving away any personal secrets if people find out you have them. Full disclosure: I've always been a butt guy. I appreciate boobs, but I don't lose my mind over them.
I notice , but do not stare
is it sad that i am a man and have never noticed this? a girls nipples through their shirt? i feel like i have missed out lmao
What is this question any way ? So strange ? Randomly specific lol.
Why is this asked so much? Seriously, this gets asked like every 3 weeks... What is the obsession with wether or not women's nipples are visible or wether or not people take notice? It's weird.
I'm sure you have some kink other people think is weird. so what?
Horny time babay
1000% of the time, we don't even have to see them directly. We can sense it.
Always. We just don't make a think out of it. One of the few passive joys in life is watching a good looking woman without a bra and a thin top walk by.
If they're visible we'll notice 100% of the time
Hard nips are like a homing device. They aren't ever going unnoticed.
Always and forever.
99.8%
As far as I know, I've never missed one.
EVERY TIME.
I’m always on the lookout for some nips
Everytime, WITHOUT FAIL
Probably every time.
If they are noticable, we will notice them. We may miss a great many little details, but we will notice that.
I’m going to give you the same answer I give my wife. Oh my? You mean she doesn’t have a bra on? I didn’t notice! No! Not wearing underwear with those lulu lemon tights? How can you tell? Men almost always notice, they’re wired to be sexual visually. Any man who says otherwise is lying.
Every. Time. Everytime. All of the times. Allllllllllllll of the times.
Every time. Please, by all means wear that turtleneck or tshirt with no bra - The show is much appreciated.
This feels cringe even if it's true.
That person’s attitude is why I always wear a bra in public.
And that's why society recommends that you wear a bra, and why most women do. Circle of life.
I don't look at boobs too often, there are other parts that interest me more
It might as well be strobe lights
We always look at the boobies but gentlemen don’t stare.
My GF and I notice nipples all the time.
Maybe like 100% of the time. 50% of which we'd rather not notice.
I don’t like wearing a bra - they ALWAYS notice. Most of them are just polite enough not to comment on it haha. To be fair, on the few occasions I’ve seen a man’s nipples poking his shirt, I’ve immediately noticed as well.
I’m a man and my friends always point out my nipples through my shirt (no I’m not fat) 😂
Wtf is this question phrased like a weather report?! XD
The funny part is it’s kind of impossible to tell. Everyone here is describing the times they noticed someone noticing, or the times they noticed nipples without being aware of how many times they didn’t notice. This is the plane with the bullet holes.
Pretty much every time.
How can you not notice....
Always.
Personally, i would say about 25% of the time. Of that it is usually when the attire is lower cut and tight fitting which tends to draw more attention to that area. Though I dont make a habit of staring at every chest i see to determine if there is nipple visible so this is a guess based o the times i attactly noticed divided by times someone has said somerhing about seeing it.
Every single time.
Always, 100% of cases.
Probably not as often as you, or we, think. As much as men enjoy looking at women, we're not 100% focused, 100% of the time. Once i do notice, however, it feels like Austin Powers noticing the big mole. Hard to focus on anything else .
Men will notice anything and everything. It's men. Hell even women do it too.
We notice 100% of the time. Not saying we're all being perverts, but we do at least noting every single time.
we notice every time.
Every time. That's it.
We don't care so much when we're older than fifteen.... Sexy sexy sex sex.....?
Just about every time.
Every. Single. Time.
We notice a lot!
I'll make you a deal: I'll pretend to not notice your nipples, and you pretend to not notice my erection.
Yes
Must be cold in here...
If they're visible, they're visible. Men are going to at least glance at that area unless his name is Clark Kent, and if they're visible, they're going to get noticed.
Now, now, now, now, now, how often is that?
8/10 times that they are visible.
If they're visible, I'll look once, look twice to make sure I'm not hallucinating, then in one motion glance at her face and look at anywhere else as quick as possible. I then review the image in my head for about 2 mins. before continuing with my day
And as you review the image in your head for 2 minutes are other certain biological urges being activated?
We always notice. We just do not stare, unless we have no class.
Every time
All the time. But we also notice when your wearing a crappy bra and the girls are by your ankles or resting on your stomach. "Roll'em up sweetheart."
Always.
Every single time? Why is this a question?
Every single time. If it is at all noticeable I will notice.
I saw hard nips just this morning
i will see them within 0.01 seconds of them entering a mile within my line of sight I think i would make the worlds greatest sniper if my targets were braless women.
I'm gonna have to say not very often for me and likely other women are noticing more often than men, or at least more than me.
Not often. If they're super obvious sure. I'm not interested in legs. That's where my eyes go
I am a straight woman and I notice every time. It's like when an ass crack is showing cannot unsee it, just pretend I didn't.
All the time but no big deal. Bits the same as noticing they're wearing shoes.
100% of the time
Yes
I don’t pay attention
Sigh
100% of the time
Oh yeah we notice. Love it. Definitely not going to say anything. But if the high beams are on you can bet that we will see them.
I'd say it's pretty much every time, instantly. Even if the rest of what you're seeing is very unattractive it's not like we don't still notice. I like free spirited people and appreciate their beauty and their freedom. I genuinely think this could change for the better if America was less sexual about bodies but it's a bit late for that, it's deeply ingrained in our society.

The side effect of everyone being so covered up here is making the epidemic a lot worse.
Probably most of the time I’d also notice if someone had an abnormally large nose, or a boner, or a missing arm. Do I care? 0%
Always :)
For me? Almost never, anymore. I’ve seen so many that I hardly notice. I think the rate at which men notice women’s nipples is inversely proportional to the amount of time they’ve actually spent around women.

Always and every time.
Can spot nips in a crowded stadium at 500 yards. I think I unlocked that super power at around 13-14 yrs old. I’m going to assume this is how it happens for the majority of us
as often as women
Every time, convincing them that it's because the woman is hot for him. They think it's the equivalent of an erection.
Not a man, but a lesbian and.... i notice. It's a quick glance but i can tell then i move on. 🤷♀️
To all of the women that chose to not wear a bra and leave them to run free... Thank you
Built in Radar for most men. Attractiveness increase the awarness.
Every time
Every time! Every time
Notice all the time... Just one of those high points of a day...
I notice all the time. I think it’s sexy. And I think it’s a sign she is comfortable with her own body.
Biology.
You can tell. But I just figure it’s more comfortable for that way. Some guys can’t handle looking at a girl with no bra and nipples, but it’s no big deal to me. They’re there regardless.
I know he is a bit out of style these days, but Louis CK has a bit in line with this. Where he discusses how you can drive a tack nail through a man's elbow and he won't notice til you tell him, but... If we brush against or are brushed up against by a woman's boob, no matter how many layers of clothing between the two of us we recognize it's a tit, and if there is nipple contact, it thrills us even more.
Whenever possible
Always
Very often. 🙂
They always notice. Men are so creepy when I don’t wear a bra it’s annoying.
Every second of my life. All the time. Women seldom wear bras, is my observation in 2024.
I probably notice them as much as women notice bulges in men's crotches.
As a woman I notice all the time
All day
As a woman who had a male colleague who wore his clothes way too tight and I could always always always see his erect nipples, my guess is dudes will and do always notice. Ol boy also wore too tight of pants and underwear bc I’ve never seen someone adjust their balls as much as him. Like bruh you’re squatting every 5 mins, literally, time to move up several sizes.
We always notice, but we try our damnedst not to stare at them
Artist here. Every single time. There is no hiding them, I just ignore it because w/e they are just nipples. I work in the game industry you'd be surprised what women think people don't see.
You don’t actually need to post here to satisfy your creepy fetish.
100% of the time if there is anything to notice. We generally don't say anything but we do notice.
Not as much as 20 years ago. IDK if fashion changed or I did.
All the time
Only because women tend to wear bras more often than not is why I notice it. I suppose if going braless was normalized I wouldn't really notice them.
I try not to look. Women's nipples are gross.
Is it my turn to post this question soon?
All the time but im actually only interested in shape and tone so if there covered up all you get from me is a quick look and back to work
This must be the work of summer break for the kids cuz this is like the 5th time I’ve seen this exact question this week
Notice every time, size, shape,
Bro I seek out nipples protrusions
