As a woman, I don't like big boobs. From the part of me that sees other women as attractive, I find huge breasts to be UNattractive. Small boobs are just my thing I guess. My boyfriend, on the other hand, often praises the more well-endowed chests of other women--it's completely beyond me. It seems more important to me that they be well-rounded and proportional to the body and whatnot.

Hi Inacolada:


1-I prefer smaller breast women.

I don't think it's true that big boobs get ALL the attention. Yes, some men do prefer bigger boobs and therefore pay attention to them, like some prefer redhead and pay attention whenever a redhead walks in. By the same token, some don't like redhead and some don't like big boobs.

I think what you describe in a bar may be just a *chain reaction*. Few men turn heads when a large-chested woman walks in, then others turn to see what're they looking at. Then you're standing there thinking that ALL of these men are drooling over that woman's breasts.

Well, personally I have nothing against big or small boobs. I've somewhat big and perky boobs myself (34c, they look big on me because I'm short), but I don't think I've used them to attract potential mates. I don't like the *assumption* that when a man is with a big-chested woman, it's because of her boobs. In *some* cases maybe, but certainly not all. My husband (even an ex-bf) actually preferred smaller boobs, but he's alright with my size because he's in love with me. He did admit that if I had even bigger boobs, he wouldn't have found me attractive when we first met. So... there you go, not all men love big boobs. And not all big-breasted women attract their mate by using their boobs.

For me, I even look at women with big boobs in a "Wow! Take a look at that" kind of thing. I don't think looking is akin to liking per se.

My husband is an ass man but isn't beyond checking out a big rack. I think it's human nature to visually peruse the human form.

Well, big boobs might get them attention, but what kind of attention? A bunch of lechs drooling over them as they walk thru a bar? Is it going to get them happiness? I doubt it very much.

Something that most men don't realize......that those big boobs are going to be pointing at the floor in 10 years. Gravity is their enemy! Women with smaller boobs will still be "perky" when they're 50 & 60 years old.

Someone sent me a great cartoon recently. An older woman standing nude in front of a full lenghth mirror. Everything is sagging, except her obviously "enhanced" boobs. She's smiling, and saying "Thank God for implants".....like she didn't see any of the rest of her body, only that.

Unless a woman is deformed, or completely flat chested.....it's ridiculous to do anything to what nature gives her. If she's not a confident person that likes herself, 40DD isn't going to change anything. (Except maybe getting attention in bars and on the beach!)

Ina,

I appreciated all kinds of boobs, small, medium and large. Large one just draw attention more because people instictively look at bigger things because they are just ...well bigger. Like a big stretch limo, everybody looks at them when they drive by, a big building , the Empire State building, every tourist in NYC is always looking up at it. I think if a man had a huge buldge in his swimsuit ladies would look more at him than others right? They are good for a couple of things in the bedroom but there are not criticatl to have.

I really think that It is because of the way we are socalized not because it is "instinct".

We see big boobs everywhere! I have yet to see a VS model with smaller breasts (although Ive heard that VS will not accept models with implants) Advertisers have so much more influence on us than we even realize.

It's a man's nature to stare at large-breasted women... even women with small breasts. But most men will look to see if you have a big butt or not. Most men these days are butt-men. I am a 34A. I totally hate it & wish I was bigger chested. I am considering getting breast implants in the future, but my money is tight right now. If a man is talking to your breasts & not to your face, he is not worth it. Period. Point blank. I'm sorry, but if I was a man, I would take a beautiful girl with no boobs over an ugly girl with big boobs any day. Just my opinion.

Probably for the same reason broad shoulders, blue eyes are found attractive by lots of women. :)
