Big boobs are looked at because they are like a billboard on the side of the highway. There you are minding your own business driving along when suddenly a big, flashy billboard presents itself to you! You naturally look at it. You might be interested in what the billboard is advertising, you might want it for yourself, but you might not want whatever it is displaying either - but you still looked!

Same with big boobs. They just stand out. Guys are programmed to respond to anything vaguely sexual and breasts are sexual parts of the anatomy to most guys. Breast will catch any guys eye even if he doesn't necessarily like big breasts.

I think that you'll find even small perky boobs in a thin, tight top will catch all the eyes too.

I don't like Hummers - big arsed vehicles that they are. But I'll always comment when I see one.

I believe that it's nature. Throughout history, women with larger breasts and hips were believed to be better at childbearing. Survival of the species and all that. While we now know it's not the case, men can't be expected to escape from "survival of the species" ideals that have been thousands of years in the making overnight.

It's really no different to how many women will turn their heads for a man who's fit, strong and healthy. Again, survival of the species.....he can protect me from a wild bear and ensure plenty of food.

>>Are small boobs just not attractive anymore?<<
With the exception of the 1920's and some of today's fashions, small boobs have never been something women have strived for. And I'd lay money that the men of the 20's weren't keen on the bound, flat look. Even today, many of us wear bras to look bigger. Look back at the pushed up breasts in an Empire line dress (circa Jane Austen) or the corsets of the Victorian era - big breasts have frequently been used to attract a man. Also, back in those days, it wasn't the done thing for a woman to "think" so we couldn't use our minds to attract a man - therefore we used our beauty.

Well I for one Love all boobs great and small.. To me small means "mmm-all".

Not all men prefer big ones. A nice pair of small boobs in my face will turn me on more than you can imagine, as I am sure a nice little hard penis in your face would turn you on...Most guys with experience will tell you the same.. Don't be ashamd of what you got, it would be a prize to millions of men..

My 2 cents...

Big boobs get all the attention because they are big and just stick out there. I have big boobs and I hate it, mostly because at 23 they are already starting to sag. I always tell my bf that I have old lady boobs. I told my bf once that I wondered if people thought I had fake boobs because they are so big and he told me he has had several of his friends ask him if they were fake, and one of them just assumed that they were. I could't believe it. I do have to admit that sometimes I will were tight or cleavage showing shirts when I go out, just for fun.

My ex had smaller boobs, my wife now has a little larger ones..It makes no difference to me...I saw an article a while back about the mental makeup of men who fancied different parts of female anotomy. Im sure it wasnt all that scientific, but it did comment that men who put a lot of stock into breast size tended to be on the immature side when it came to sex. Ass and leg men tended to be a bit more mature. .......lol But come to think of it, most the guys whom I know personally, tend to fit that bill

I was reminded of this thread when I was on the beach during the weekend.

I said to DH "hey, check out the silicone over there!!!" Here was this otherwise very attractive 30 something woman, with these gravity defying mounds on her chest. Instead of taking in her beauty, neither of us could stop staring at her chest with morbid fascination.....it was like how you can't keep your eyes off a car wreck.

You know what I don't understand about fake boobs......many women say they do it for their self esteem and presentation. But how does becoming a laughing stock or receiver of morbid fascination type stares improve one's self esteem?

Anyone got any ideas?

Personally, my feelings about boobjobs are rather neutral. In concept, boobjob isn't very different from other cosmetic procedures (waxing, orthodontics, face lift, liposuction, etc.) Some boobjobs (implants or lifts) are well done, we don't really "spot" them, because they're not outrageously in your face. Could those women's self-esteem improve because of a well-done boobjob..? Maybe, I suppose. On the other hand, as you're pointing out, there are "bad" boobjobs out there (of course, it's only subjective, some might find them attractive), those women gain all sorts of attention. Maybe that is the idea, to gain whatever attention possible, positive or negative, as long as they're not "ignored" and "overlooked".

Ooh, ooh, I know what you mean. We were at a local fraternal club and one of the local doc's sons' walked in accompanied a pair of large breasts. I think they were attached to a rather attractive woman, but none of us really got that far. You could see the attention whenever they walked across the room. It was more of an "OMG! , Look at THOSE!"

It was rather awe-inspiring (the marvels of science and medicine!) but strange looking just the same. I think the whole room just watched the breasts all night.
