I think men don't realize the importance of a small rib cage and tiny waist (Raquel Welch). That gives the illusion of having an even bigger chest than you have. If your waist were thick and rib cage large, your boobs wouldn't look that big.
Only in your opinion. Glad there are those who disagree with you - my husband thinks I won the "genetic lottery!"

Oh, and Raquel has a VERY large bosom and always did. I agree with you about Marilyn though, she was actually pretty small, my dad met her in person once, he said she was "skinny."

I think the most important thing is to be happy with what you have. A number of endowed women are not happy. Making the funbags into sorrow pillows. If you enjoy them...fantastic.

Eventually. I'm very large breasted, but when I lose weight, they're the last to lose. Legs, belly, and everything in between slim down first.

Smaller the breasts,... 07-13-2015 02:28 PM They do, but that can go too far, with some women. If men their age always assume they're much younger, and ignore them, it can be very difficult socially, and can be a problem professionally, too, if the woman isn't perceived as an adult.


I've never had anyone treat me like a child due to my lack of breasts size but I'm a small person in general. I'm 5'3 size 4 weigh in at 115 and small boned, sure I've had some men and women as well think I'm younger than my age of 52, but it mostly had more do with my personality and views on life and I do think younger, I love to have fun, always smiling and laughing and friendly never met a stranger it's my nature, I'm full of energy always going or doing something trying new things etc, etc... Being smaller in stature has never caused me problems in my socially or professionally life!

Like all things in life, it really comes down to how one carry & projects themselves, in private and business ~

But...you have touched on a good point. Women with big boobs probably don't like the attention they get when they work out because of the jiggling and shaking. There's a big difference between a gym rat with fake boobs and some mommy type struggling to keep some natural G-cups under control while she works off her baby weight. Maybe some of you believe no one would be looking at her in the first place...but I think a lot of times women like this avoid gyms and high impact stuff because of the spectacle and the pain - lowering the amount the OP is going to see to take his visual audits to come to conclusions this thread implies.

Good point. Fake boobs are an entirely different animal.

We also need to make a distinction between big boobs and BIG BOOBS. As someone that's dated women between a natural "C" and a natural "H"...it's not fair to put a petite 36-D woman in the same boat as a 44 H. The D cup is ample on a small frame, but the G and H's (and up) are huge even on a large woman.

Whoa....I recently said that part of me dies when I hear about reductions.

Also said this in this thread: "Apparently they are the most susceptible to back and shoulder problems. I think they deserve a heroes retirement and enshrinement but I don't think that will fly."

I recommended a reduction when the pain was not alleviated by back surgery. She was glad she did it.

I'm not into micro-managing the lives of others.

Isn't it hard enough to deal with menstruation, PMS, post-menopause, flat chests, make-up, attention, heavy breasts, etc...etc...etc?

By comparison, men get a joystick that offers great joy. Of course it tends to label us as having evil intent but men are reared to take those things in stride.

Big breasts...small breasts...who cares? Health and happiness is what truly matters.

Our culture places unrealistic demands on people. We should strive to focus on the positive rather than perceived differences.

Someone that is very dear to me has large breasts and they will often literally get in the way of her being active. She can't go for a jog. She doesn't like riding a bike because the angle and her heavy boobs put a stress on her back. She is slim but still has big boobs. She is considering a reduction.

Thinking about this topic most women who I have considered to be in top shape have had small boobs but they usually make up for that by having a strong muscular shapely butt.

Perhaps a woman with small boobs is more naturally lean to begin with.
