You're actually only an hourglass if you have broad shoulders too. But I actually was just reading about the pear and how to dress it with jeans and it seems actually quite easy with pants.

Almost any woman can look great; packaging is key. If she knows how to dress to maximize her assets and minimize her deficiencies, she can be eye-catching. Kate Upton needs to choose her swimwear better, so she looks as good from the back as well as the front. A model shouldn't be showing a roll of fat on her back, not to mention the bottom not being flattering. That suit was chosen for frontal shots, obviously.
Yeah I think she'd look like any other normal model if she worked out a little more. But yeah in the meantime she can limit the view of her stomach.
Mille I said think most shapes you can make yourself appear more hourglass shaped if you want to.

I also agree with the rest of your post. Rep
There's some site out there which shows a gallery of "normal breasts" and the variety is astounding. Few women are round & perky, even if small & young.

Some male posters who comment have noted they are surprised at how most breasts do NOT look like what is shown in porn & men's magazines and it "explained" to them why all the women they had experienced in person don't look that way either . Not to be catty, but I felt pretty good about myself after looking at that site. I'd post the link but am not sure if it's appropriate (it's not a porn site).

Working as a designer in the print industry, I also know how much editing goes on for even the simplest things, forget an article or ad with the PURPOSE of representing a beauty ideal...so women in men's magazines rarely look like that in person either (even if they still look great).

If he has to pick giant big breasts, or B, C cup, he definitely would pick B,C cup. I believe him.

Very few of men I know in my life really care about women's breast size. B, C cup really is enough for them.

I think big giant boobs (like DDD cups) is more like fetish, than norm.
I'd like to think individuals are less obsessed with narrow ideals than perpetuated. As a woman, I know I am not open to just ONE body type being attractive on a man. Even if I had a single body ideal, someone who meets it perfectly may not even be attractive to me because it's all more complicated than shapes & sizes.

I think my point is more that there is no ideal in reality... every figure has some perceived "flaw" because the ideals are not a reflection of nature.

She doesn't even look like she has a padded bra on. They just look pushed together. She could even be vase shaped which would help her boobs be able to easily push together in anything. She looks like a C cup. Who in the world really pays thousands of dollars for a C cup? I mean come on you seem to be stretching to cut that woman down. Be realistic.

Oh forgot to mention. The reason you don't have that body while being athletic is because of your genetics. If you're hourglass vase lollipop or maybe even goblet shaped its very possible to be busty with a slim frame. Not everyone is built the same.
I have an extremely similar body to all of those women... I already stated that. I'm not cutting anyone down; I'm making a point about the difference between reality & ideals which require "tricks" to meet. I think those women look great because they look an awful lot like me!

So in brief - I DO HAVE THAT BODY, and I know what it looks like naked vs. with a top & angle to flatter. I like my figure for the most part, but it's actually not an ideal among many men. Women envy my figure all the time though.

I KNOW all it takes to look like the Asian chick is a bit of padding or push-up. And a model in a photoshopped picture likely has some tricks going on. That is reality; I AM being realistic. Just like that blue bikini lady has a lovely figure but reality is there is generally cellulite and jiggle that goes along with such a body. Every figure tends to have its "trade-off".

This lollipop/vase stuff is nonsense (and another way to objectify women; can you say degrading?). Boobs are mainly FAT & low body fat rarely results in all or most of it deposited ONLY in the chest. It doesn't matter your body shape at a certain point, it's a matter of FAT.

I agree the Asian woman is not VERY busty, but she's bustier than most thin Asian women I've seen. Also, she is likely larger than a C cup (which has no meaning without band size). I am larger than a C cup, but that's because woman as thin as us have small backs & wear small band sizes; larger than a C at 28-30 band is not large. And for all you know she could've been smaller before, in which case many would pay to go up a few cup sizes. But some gel inserts would give the same effect, and those are OFTEN used on photo shoots for bikinis and lingerie. Sometimes it's just to add "roundness" as even naturally full boobs may not have that very round, high look, especially in a non-supportive top. In any case, whether or not she is natural is beside the point; it is very unusual to be proportioned that way without some tricks.

Apparently you don't know anything about what a vase is shaped like lol. I'm a lollipop. A vase is more like a pear with big boobs. Which is highly possible.

And sorry but yeah lollipop/top heavy body shapes do exist. I have a lot of people in my family who could attest to that including myself. I am tired of really arguing this subject that the lollipop body shape does exist naturally among women. It's just a deep minority. Why do some seek to say we don't exist? It's nothing amazing is it since lollipops lack hips why is it a myth that we're just a fantasy. But I'm going to move on. Whatever makes you happy ok.


Yeah that's racist. You're showing ignorant to assume all thin Asian women look a certain way we don't.

And yes it's very possible that she enhanced her boobs. I never denied that. It's apparent she's squeezing her boobs together. But whether she padded or augmented her boobs you have no evidence for just speculation. To me it looks like she just pushed her boobs together.

You're not being realistic to everyone. You're self imposing your reality to everyone else. And that's not going to work because everyone's different. Everyone's reality for their body is different.

And that too. I didn't mean she was the real C cup I meant the standard she probably is a G or an F if we're about small band sizes and all.

Also like my roommate we looked the same breasts size wise at the time when she padded her bra and I wore a regular bra. Regular big breasts do exist. And sometimes they can look like fake/padded ones. With them clothed you just can't tell. That's my only point I'm trying to make here. You don't know you can't assume.

And yeah you probably have the same body shape as she does that minus the boobs that's a nice body type but what's the difference between a vase and a pear? One has boobs one doesn't. They exist. Both are very much alike and neither erased the other body.

I think it's rude to self impose your reality on others. I think also that when a person feels they have a majority or a body type the media hold up as a norm they tend to think everyone does the same thing with their body type. I don't self impose because I don't see my reality as much of society. I guess this is why I can see things a little more fairly.

I'm not a pear though...I'm hour glass so when I wear flowy tops it creates the appearance of being big all over because it covers up my waist.

Oh I thought you wear talking about jeans as the problem.

Sorry about that.

I know my grandma had issues with that when she was younger. I honestly rather wear something that fits my stomach rather than my chest. Which works for me because I'm on the small end. But why can't you take it in where you need it to be?

I'm pretty sure this is what YOU are doing. You're holding out some anecdotes of outliers instead of grasping the big picture. Exceptions are just that - exceptions. Rareness is just that - rare.

Your body type names continue to be silly & without point, and especially do they miss my point.

I'm not claiming to know anything; I'm speculating based on patterns & evidence at hand. I'm also making a valid point that you keep skirting around because you're making it personal. And you keep insulting my body, which is unnecessary & rude & YOU are the one making assumptions there. I have not attacked any posters' body (funny how you seem to know what I look like without any clear photo of my full body).

I'm not self-imposing my reality based solely on my own figure either... I'm referencing reality of what is done in photo shoots & other places to create images which strike people as "ideal", but which are not what those bodies look like in the plain light of day without aids of clothing tricks & photo editing. If you believe what you see in magazines & catalogs & in movies is real, then you are naive.
