Yikes, I look awful at 25%. I like to be at 19-20% personally.1

If you have really big breasts what you have is a higher percentage of body fat. Same body fat with little itty ones is fat deposited elsewhere - and it doesn't look as good.
Not necessarily.
Some women with bigger breasts have more actual breast tissue. These are the women that can drop to a very low %BF and STILL maintain their breast size (or shrink very little). For those that don't ever drop to a low %BF, you can tell if the breasts are largely fat or largely breast tissue with a mammogram.
Yup, the ones yelling for mercy during a mammogram. :sad:1 -

I agree mainly. But, not all women gain fat the same way. I gain it evenly all over and mainly in boobs and butt. So, it can be hard to tell that I’ve gained weight until I’ve gained too much. But, if you gain weight in you belly first then that’s not attractive I think. Just opinion3

my partner had abb lines showing at a tested bodyfat of 25% before she ever entered a gym and looks even more fabulous just a year on, 6lb lighter,stronger,fitter, more "toned" and hasnt even bothered to change her diet - looks better than most teens at 40 years old and now 21% bodyfat
Some of the womens claims of low body fat on here is just baloney and should be taken with a pinch of salt by other women as i see women putting photo s up here claiming all sorts of low figures and not an abb in sight an if i m honest they still look fat around the belly.
‘Ere hang on a minute! Great for your wife but we don’t all store fat in the same way. I’m at c19% fat with a shredded back, but no visible abs and a wobbly bum because that’s just the way I am. It doesn’t mean I’m lying about my fat levels - I had pudgy knees at 15% when my bones were visible everywhere else!

Even at a higher body fat, most men don’t have cellulite. You jerks!6
