A guy can't talk about certain things about breasts with certain women because you as a male are breaking the rules they've set that only women can speak about. It's not an even playing field.

That's the difference in my experience when talking to the women I know who are naturally very buxom and comfortable about their big breasts. Boob talk is not a dangerous subject to them and the guy usually doesn't have to watch his tongue because she breaks the boob-ice so to speak. These women realize the power they have with their amazing racks, they know that they're not going anywhere without the rest of their body, and they have a good laugh sometimes with and at the guys who get turned inside out just by the sight of cleavage.
Look who discovered a boob thread on the forum!

She talks about her height a lot more, but I don't see anyone getting on her case about dwelling on it so much, nor do I see anyone getting kind of excited about it, like they're secretly turned on by it, but they're pretending they're putting her down for it, just so they can have an excuse to talk about it.




Do we know anyone like that?

Back in the day there were less options & women simply wore ill-fitting bras. That idea that there are 5 breast sizes is what is silly (A, B, C, D & DD). Look around you - do you see only 5 breast sizes among women?

FYI, 32 bands on the SMALLEST hook are WAY too big for most thing women. I need a 28 band but resort to 30 on the smallest hook as 28 is hard to find.

An abstract number & letter measurement does not make me feel any different about my body, but wearing the right size does make me more comfortable & look better.

Regarding those who don't publicize their bra size (and why should we?), I don't either. There are too many uninformed ideas about what a cup size looks like, even though on its own it means nothing. That seems to be changing as more & more women get sized properly.

If you haven't been sized properly, go do it! Don't go to VS though. Do it yourself or at a speciality shop. Don't add numbers to the band measurement, or not more than 1" rounded up.

That's how those ladies came to model lingerie. There was a real woman modeling contest, and they were winners. One of the perks for them was getting resized into the right size.

Their bra sizes are public info, I posted the link. All are f or above.

In guy speak, more than about 1.5 handfuls is a DD. women's clothing sizing is wacky, most people get it wrong. I like to point out that our perception of how big a,b,c,d,h,and k are is typically off.
Most women are wearing the wrong size, period. Most thin women are smaller than a 32 band, and they too are likely wearing too small a cup. However, Victoria Secret will try & tell them they are 32A or B.

You do talk about your breasts ALOT though. There`s no denying that on CD. You dominate the Cleavage Conflab Jet. You`ve proven it.
Yeah, describing them as 'yummy' isn't weird at all. We were talking about finding the correct bra size and how sizes can be inaccurate and you come in and say they're 'yummy'. That's not supposed to be construed as blatantly sexual? You like boobs, great. I have to carry them around everywhere and sometimes I want to talk to people about them in a utilitarian manner, not in a sexual manner.

It's no different than when a woman will mention having issues with finding pants that are long enough (being a tall woman myself) and then someone has to interject that you have 'long luscious legs' and should be proud of it. I've seen it happen a few times and thought 'what....that has NOTHING to do with me wanting to find a pair of jeans long enough for me... just like if I'm talking about finding a good bra and a guy interjects about 'yummy' breasts. I just want something that fits well and I don't need running commentary on my body.

Obviously Jet, the only description for breasts over DD is yummy.


On an autocorrecting iDevice.

Yeah, just about everybody on CD who chooses to post in the relationship forum. You and me included right? Don't deny it. Some folks here choose to dominate certain subjects.

You must mean "most thin petite women". A 28 band is tiny, I can't imagine it! There are lots of thin women who are a 34 or a 36.

You should start a thread on fashion options and clothing vendors for tall women. I bet there would be a lot of interest.
