    Man's opinion, here. I think it a choice for the woman to make, and, if she is happy with her choices, it's nobody else's business.

    I love a pretty package as much as the next person, but, once you've unwrapped it, it's what's inside that's important.

    The last time I unwrapped the package, the tabloids referred to me as Buffalo Bill...

    As for breasts, they are secondary sexual characteristics to begin with. No "sexual objectification" required. I prefer ones that are proportionate to the woman's frame, so since I prefer petite women I guess you could say I'm a small boob man.

    I'm naturally rather more blessed than I'd like to be in the boob department for my frame, so I can understand the desire to have proportional boobs to the frame, I can understand why people would want reductions, and I can understand why people could have implants. I'd never judge anyone who undertook the path to achieve proportion.

    I thought the question he was asking was if women feel pressured to get breast implants, not do we feel it impacts us when other people get implants. But, it seems other people are answering it from the second perspective. So, from that perspective, no I don't care about other people's choices. But, I wouldn't do it. As a personal choice it seems very extreme to cut my body open and have objects put inside. That just scares me. If I had breast cancer I would consider it and probably I would do it because I would already be getting surgery. I'm ok with getting surgery for medical reasons. I just wouldn't want to get surgery for no good reason. Also, I just really love my breasts and I don't think breast implants would look good on me. My breasts are already firm and perky. Breast implants would stretch them out and change the shape. There are more things to consider, other than just size for a woman making a decision like that. Plus my husband loves my breasts. If I changed them for a non medical reason he would be extremely sad.

    I love the look of a woman with breast implants. I suppose its not PC, but I like what I like?

    Meh. Boobs are pretty but overrated. I don't really understand why they are as important as they are.

    I love all the boobs, but if I can't talk to you on an intellectual level then it won't work.

    If someone dresses to emphasize something, be it boobs or their butt or narrow waist, chances are good it will attract my attention. It's not a sexual thing any more than the color red or something sparkly draws my attention. I'm looking at something that stands out from the crowd.

    Sure there can be pressure felt to look a certain way but beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I've had men I've dated offer to buy me implants and I once had someone rudely stare at my chest and tell me I need to cut down on the aerobics. :shrug: I'm happy with them and that's all that matters, not what anyone else thinks.

    I kinda get it... Even I'm attracted to a nice rack. However, people need to learn to control themselves... Just because a girl looks good doesn't mean you have the right to say things like, "Hey, nice t*ts!" and reach for a handful.

    As for implants, I think nice, reasonably sized ones (not like FFF beach ball-looking melons) can look fine. Personally, I'll probably get a lift after I have a couple kids, but that's more to keep my man sexually attracted to me than anything else. I wouldn't bother with it if I wasn't married. Don't need attention from the masses of dogs :)

    Bigger boobs can lead you to imagine more milk, which can lead you to think more milk for babies, which might make you think more babies. Which also might convince you best way to have a lot babies to keep the species alive is to find big boobs with a lot of milk.

    But that is a logic of a crazy person who is very visual and doesn't understand science, like a Paleo caveman.

    I am barely a B cup, and I don't feel any less attractive or sexy as a women with a DD cup. (also, I get away with going braless all the time, so if anything I prefer to be small chested hehe).
    However, I think that if ladies feel the need to get breast augmentations to feel more attractive, then they can go right ahead and do as they please! People should be allowed to make decisions and chose to look certain ways without being criticized for it.

    My breasts were sucked out of me by my kids. I need to fill em up with something besides muscle. Soon as I can I will. I mean, saggy tits aren't cool, man. So instead of judging how 'fake' they look, your pal should think, "Wonder how jacked they were looking prior..."

    So that's coming from someone who had some nice apples and now feels like she has some prunes. (I exaggerate of course)

    Ultimately, the woman does it for herself without giving a rats *kitten* if people think they're "fake". And if that gives her a confidence boost mistaken for a "superiority" complex... who cares.

    I'm gonna flip the script on this topic.

    Guys: Does it really matter what we think? Admit it, if we could augment our "anatomy" as readily as women, well, let me put it this way. The two most popular medical specialties would be plastic surgeons and chiropractors... ya know, what with all the newly-acquired back problems.

    A good discussion I was having with a peer at work (female). She brought it up after a member with obvious breast implants got several stares from males and females in the gym while she jogged on the treadmill.
    My peer believes that breast implants ruin a females figure and gives a false sense that she's actually better. And that small breasted women are considered by society as not as sexually attractive as by society's standard on beauty. I somewhat disagreed, but I'm really accepting of any type of breast size.

    So how do others (especially other females) feel about this?

    I think it's great that she has implants. I personally would not judge her for it. Judging a woman that has implants doesn't make sense to me.

    As far as people looking at her...well...people look at women who are overweight, slim, etc. I mean, they look anyway!

    It kind of makes me sad that your peer is judging her really. I wish women wouldn't do that to each other....

    I can't wait to get my new ones in two months. Mine tried to kill me and after my initial surgery and further genetic testing the best decision for me is to have both completely removed and reward myself with fresh new ones. I could care less if people stare at me, look at me, judge me, etc. Unless you have walked in my shoes I really don't care what you have to say about my decisions. It's really nobody's business what anyone does to THEIR body. :happy:

    So my peer linked me a study to read. Haven't finished it yet, but it is an interesting prospective look:

    Boobs are great, real or not. Flaunt 'em if you are comfortable, cover up if not.

    I love breasts, i stare at breasts all the time real or fake big or small... women who are offended or feel that they are seen as sex objects due to having breast, bother me soooo much ... men are sexually objectified just as much as women are ... i know i objectify men all day every day... i love looking at mens arms, shoulders, and backs the most... and if i see a shoulder or back that i like I AM GOING TO TOUCH IT and i wont get in trouble because its only a back or shoulder .. thats not fair at all if a man touches a breast he likes its harassment but i go around all day fondling men left and right with nobody batting an eye ... people need to stop being so sexually uptight .. everyone is just a dirty little sex object to somebody and thats the way it should be..

    relax. flaunt what your mamma gave you. get laid.

    I definitely feel less feminine and desirable with smaller (and deflated after breast feeding two kids). I would love to have fuller slightly larger breasts.
