The comedienne cashier

[Andara Bledin]

To those who have an extra helping of breast: Consider getting a reduction.

I know two people who are both near the 5-foot mark that were overly endowed and they both went in for reduction surgery. They both rave about how much better they feel, now.

There is a lot of physical stress involved with having huge boobs that you don't really notice until they're not huge any more.

I got lucky. I'm about halfway between my mom's side (flat-chested) and my dad's side (reduction candidates).

My H cups do not fall to the side when I'm lying on my back, not very much at all. Boyfriend is a bit boggled by it. I blame all those pushups that my DS said would keep my boobs perky. I can still see both my nips when I look down, but not my feet.

But with all the fake/real explanations on here, I understand just a little bit more why men and women are always asking if they are real, and smaller girls are always bitchy to me.

From my experience, there is one infallible test: the flashlight test.

I'm still seriously debating a reduction, even though I don't physically need one. Just got another point in the notebook against it though, when I had some tart say that if I got my "boobs made smaller" (her words) I would have more friends that were girls because they wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen with me. Oh, and guys would take me more seriously....yeah right.

[blas]

witch, just so you know, you could make yourself into a twig and people still wouldn't take you seriously. I mean this in the way that people who already don't take you seriously, as I respect you as a member of this board and think of you as an intelligent woman. The first statement was not meant to be offensive or to assume that you aren't intelligent.

Once someone has their mind made up about you and your intelligence, it isn't going to change. Trust me on this one. If you don't want to trust me, accompany me at work some night.

This is the reason I will not lose weight to have smaller breasts or buns nor will I dye my hair brown nor will I stop wearing makeup. I will only associate with people who will give me a fair chance to prove that I indeed am an intelligent adult woman. If they are going to judge my intellienge based on hair color and breast size, they don't deserve the time of day.

Hey, I go for intelligence and sense of humor in a woman first. If she happens to be a knockout it's a bonus. Of course, we all know that there are no NORMAL men on this board.

So... dinner sometime?

[zzapp the witch]

blas--Thus my referencing her as a tart. Such a shallow twit. I may not have many people I call friend, but I can count on those friends to always tell me the truth and love me for who I am.

I couldn't take offence to anything you guys would say. As I used to say on a gaming site now defunct: People on the internet are figments of my imagination, put here for my sole amusement.

[Andara Bledin]

Meh. Anyone who wouldn't be your friend because they were intimidated by the size of your breasts likely isn't worth maintaining as a friend, anyway.

Why do people make such an issue about breasts?

A large number of reasons, including immaturity, emphasis on appearance in TV and other visual media, and so forth. But it mostly boils down to the basic fact that so many men are trying to impress/intimidate other guys by getting trophies, rather than trying to find someone who's relaxing to be around.

They're not all they're cracked up to be. I still get traffic tickets, I have to go to specialty stores to find bras that fit (they are always so uncute too)

There are a few cute ones for larger sizes, though they're hard to find. My wife finds bra straps hard enough on her that she makes corsets out of thick material for herself, usually.

Why do people make such an issue about breasts?

Some people act as if the fact that women have breasts are their only redeeming feature. Yeah, you're a female so, unless there is some serious problem, you're gonna have breasts. Hey, guess what? You got a head, 2 ears, 2 eyes, hair, a nose, a mouth, 2 shoulders, 2 legs, 2 feet, 10 toes, 2 arms, 2 hands, 10 fingers, ...and so on.

Because I have those too (I also have some hairy man boobs.).

But seriously, we're evolved to like them. It's really easy to pick out what features are attractive. You take the average person of one sex and subtract the average person of the other sex and accentuate what is left. I'll use faces as an example.

What are the differences between mens and womens faces. Women have bigger cheekbones poofier lips, smaller jaws and noses and bigger eyes. So the perfect woman has big cheekbones, full lips, big eyes, a small jaw, and a small nose. Most make up is used to fake these diferences.

Of course with most evolved things there are other (sometimes competing) factors to consider like neotenous features in women and if a man looks too masculine, he is assumed to be violent.

That's why men like boobs.

I am an artist. I've studied anatomy and life drawing and all those things, still do, always will- and I can spot a bad fake with a glance. When someone's shape defies the nature of their body type, other curves, fat percentage and fitness, it often means fakes. But honestly, I don't care.

I'm a Very straight girl- the only breasts I'm concerned about are my own. I may have an uncommon figure- in hard-earned good shape I hit about 36-24-36 - but it can be a blessing and a curse. Try doing very active sports with these in the way. Then there's finding clothes that fit right, and the eternal search for good bras. To top it all off, being embarassed to wear form fitting clothes because you can feel dirty men leer at you.
Of course, occasionally its nice to know that I am my natural shape and I like it.

Women should be less harassed by society and able to be secure about their shape, and people who leer deserve a really good solid hard right fist in the nose!

That's why men like boobs.

It's not because they're soft, jiggly, and fun?

Bouncy bouncy!

[iradney]

If I remember correcty (and this was just a theory I read), the reason that women developed breasts that are *there* all year round, not just when breast feeding is because we're the only mammals that mate face to face.

The majority of others mate from behind, so the breasts are supposedly an evolutionary trait to mimick the roudness and softness of the buttocks. I don't think it has much value to it, but it's a cute theory

[blas]

That theory made me want to blow bubbles into my chocolate milk.

[draftermatt]

I don't get what the whole issue is with fake breasts. If you can see/touch (when asked) them they are real. Just because they are "enhanced" doesn't make them any less real.

[Spiffy McMoron]

I've heard of that theory as well. I don't know if it's true, but at least at it amused me.

And I really did not see this topic turning into a dicussion of breasts, although in hindsight, I'm not really surprised. They're just boobs! We all have them--myself included. (On a fitter man I'd call them "pecs")

I wonder what this topic would be like if I had been staring at a couple of guys? And I wonder what the cashier would have said?

*giggle* I've done that.

Actually, there's a two page comic in one of the anthology comics I used to get that has a topless dancer sitting at the bar. She's bored, so she starts bouncing one of her boobs on the bartop. One of the other dancers gets annoyed and mushes it down onto the bar and gives her a look. The comic ends with the same panel as it started, only now there's a "hurt" mark on her boob.

I wonder what this topic would be like if I had been staring at a couple of guys? And I wonder what the cashier would have said?

How about, "Mmm, you've got a good eye."
