Maybe we need some definitions to get back on track?
Cleavage (wiki):
1. The act of splitting or cleaving.
2. The state of being split or cleft; a fissure or division.
3. Mineralogy. The splitting or tendency to split of a crystallized substance along definite crystalline planes, yielding smooth surfaces.
4. Embryology. The series of mitotic cell divisions that produces a blastula from a fertilized ovum. It is the basis of the multicellularity of complex organisms. Also called segmentation; Any single cell division in such a series.
5. Chemistry. The splitting of a complex molecule, such as a polysaccharide, into simpler molecules.
6. Informal. The hollow between a woman's breasts, especially as revealed by a low neckline.
So the one in this thread only comes in last and is just 'informal'. I can only assume a woman compiled that list
By the way, is a 'cleaver' - an instrument to create cleavage?
So, having clarified the issue no end I will return to cooking dinner.

long thread.. with fireworks aplenty
after some pondering.. i don't see how you are going get your wish, vmec. if we were in a world that tended towards the ideal (hypothetically), we'd be surrounded by people who would act in a manner that pleases their friends and social acquaintances. What types of behaviour would constitute 'pleasing' needs to be communicated somehow.
Since there are many matters that don't get explicit articulation often, we resort to things like chivarly, docorum, etiquette, Miss Manners, The Official Guidebook for Conduct in Ballroom and so on. In short, we guess.
In todays world, esp. in social dancing circles, I'm surrounded by women who prefer to have their bodies and fashion sensibilities praised. Despite all that is lip-serviced by ardent feminists, they do their talking from a catwalk dais wearing designer clothes and fancy makeup. While this undersandably leads to negative values, it also has positive implications. Without getting sidetracked into a discussion of whether these attitudes are desirable or not, I would just say that they are what they are. Given this is the world we live in, we often learn to admire bodies and looks of opposite sex (and secondarily, those of people from the same sex as ourselves). Within this reality, women's size and breasts get noticed.
Even if a man pretends not to have really noticed it, and restrains himself by not continuously staring at them, it is safe to guess that it has been looked at. Now if you have a body that is considered either very attractive or something that stands out, it is inevitable that you'll get looked at often - either explicitly or furtively, and oftentimes, both.
Very beautiful/handsome and shy people often have to deal with this reality to their consternation. Someone with a very attractive face often gets looked at by almost everyone - repeated glances and constant stares.There is no way to shame to world into giving them the privacy they desire (and deserve). The world is what it is.
vmec - If you are literally referring to someone holding a stare at you, that's clearly a violation of social etiquette by every standard I can think of. But if you are referring to interactions where the frequent glances and stolen looks don't seem to stop, I'm not sure that you have a practical recourse, except perhaps to vent.

Not a woman, so this is just a guess (and we all know I don't understand them
I couldn't have said it better myself!

A woman's got a right to say "Hey! My eyes are up here!" if she wants. And uncomfortable is uncomfortable period. It's different levels for different people. And boundaries are set all the time in romance. This is part of the same thing. If someone sets a boundary with me I respect that boundary and stay within it or don't interact with her. My choice.
We on the other hand don't have to accept the judgment given by some women either. It's different levels for different people. If someone thinks I've gone too far they can let me know and I'll stop whatever it is. Or if I discern they aren't enjoying the interaction I'll stop as well. I approached a woman last week and was talking with her. She stopped talking back with me. So I stayed a couple of minutes longer to make sure I wasn't just being cowardly. When it became evident that she didn't want me there I left. No big deal.
Having said all that looking is not where it's at. I did a fair amount of experimenting but honest interaction is way better than looking anytime.
