JamesM Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I wish I could go bra-free as well. Swim suits suck too, when I go in the water I pop out a little bit and have to adjust. Okay, let's keep this thread "professional." These mental pictures are not helping this discussion. And yes, they are good mental pictures. My wife has bigger breasts. She is a 36 DD... or is it 34? Either way, I think they look great. If she loses another ten to fifteen pounds, then I know she will fit back into a D bra. Personally, I want her to be happy with them, because as carhill said, it is the performance of the body that matters most...not the appearance. As for your size, my wife has said the same thing. She gets sick of men looking at her chest instead of her eyes...sometimes. As a nurse, men patients can be obnoxious. I guess those "Naught Nurses" videos do make an impact! However, she has learned numerous ways to make a hard man soft, shall we say. And she also has to be careful what bathing suits she buys. Overall, leaving my wife out of it, I prefer breasts that are proportionate to the body. If a woman is heavier in the middle and smaller up top, then it does not look as good as a woman who is larger up top and lighter in the middle. All size breasts are great depending on the body they are attached to, but I have never felt that implants are better than acceptance of the natural breasts. To me, a woman who accepts her body as it is will be better overall. However, I have met women who after having breast implants did gain a lot of confidence. So my opinion is mine and does not reflect mankind as a whole.
carhill Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Yeah, I sometimes can't wear some shirts because of it. I don't qualify for a reduction, because I'm not big enough. I look bigger because I'm petite though so it is so upsetting. She was/is 5'2" and was a 32D-F, depending on her weight (110-150). After reduction, I believe a small C at normal weight. She related her back and shoulders felt much better after, along with the psychological/emotional improvements.

Oh, I originally read the thread and thought you were concerned you were too small. I think that there is a whole range of tastes and preferences about boob size. What really matters is how you feel about yourself. If you are at a healthy weight and still have large boobs, well, that's what you were blessed with, right? I think quality bras are particularly important for well-endowed women. You can find all kinds of bras here: http://www.barenecessities.com/
Lishy Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 My friend had a boob reduction many years ago. Her boobs were huge and when she took off her bra they fell to her waist, seriously! She suffered so bad with her back and it made her 2 dress size bigger on top. She had them reduced and has never been happier even if the scars it left were bad. Medically it was worth it for her The difference with you and her LB, is that you do not have huge breasts. Your boyfriend loves them and many women pay lot of money to have them your size and I bet they do not look as good as yours because they look stuck on and rigid. I think the problem is not your breasts, but your insecurity and self doubt. If you got them reduced you would have huge scarring and would probably hate them even more.

You can find all kinds of bras here: http://www.barenecessities.com/ Wow, thanks for the link. Yeah I didn't really specify in the OP because I wanted to see what people said from each view point. I think I still think of myself being huge because I was overweight (for my build anyway) and was up to like a DD or something. It was so out of hand I decided to lose weight to see if I could shrink them. I shrunk to about a "on the bigger side" C. I still think of myself as having those huge breasts so maybe that's why it still bothers me. If I lost another 10 pounds or so I could probably shrink to a B (which I wouldn't do I'm at a healthy weight now). My boobs aren't as hard to manage as they used to be, however I did encounter some problems with stretching as when I do not have a bra on I tend to "Droop." I did find these amazing push up underwire bras at Victoria Secret's which really help. Nobody would ever notice that they sag like that. I am self conscious about that, it's not so much about my size. But my boyfriend says he doesn't care and that he loves my size. So it evens out I guess!

Yeah, you are probably right about my self doubt. I really don't have huge breasts I suppose, I really did used to when I was more overweight though. They are hard to lift up though because of the size of them and of me, so I tend to not get a lot of support there. Maybe that's more the problem. My push up bras help a lot though, I look really awesome with a bra on.

Green Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 So I don't get it you want smaller ones? I like bigger boobs all the way around. Its like if your dating a girl with big boobs and then you end up dating a girl with smaller ones it sux
CaliGuy Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 As I have said time and time again. Size doesn't matter. As long as they are perky, they're "perfect". I had two ex's and one friend who insisted on breast augmentation even though they, IMHO, did not need it. They did it anyway and I guess it makes them happy. There are many well respected and admired women who doen't determine their self-worth by the size of their breast. If you feel you need to do it, then do it for yourself and yourself only. Don't do it to gain the approval of men or other women. Do it simply because it makes you happy and that will be the RIGHT reason to do so. Cheers. Edit: I just re-read what you posted. Do whatever makes you happy
Isolde Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I've always hovered in the C cup range, used to be a full C and now a small C and I like being a bit smaller because I'm noticeably perkier now. On the other hand, I'm too thin for my liking now, also. I think the whole body is far more important than boobs... even to guys. They will NOT notice a slight change in boob size. I got more attention when I was more voluptuous all over. I was confused when you said ppl were turned off by yours... you are a very average size (???) even when you were a DD, that's not that unusual.
Dirk Diggler Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I like big B-OO-BS and i can not lie!!! My girlfriend is a D cup, and i love every bit of what her genetics have given! Anything bigger than that makes me wonder if the woman would end up with two black eyes from doggie style
Lizzie60 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I have full DD breasts.. huge.. but I love them.. they are still quite perky I do not really need a bra.. When my friend's daughter jokes about them.. I say.. 'Imagine all the money I saved.. each cm of this cleavage is very expensive. I call them my 'gift' for having quit smoking..
Star Gazer Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 They are hard to lift up though because of the size of them and of me, so I tend to not get a lot of support there. What do you mean? Do you mean you can literally lift your breasts up? If so, it sounds like you are more concerned about sagging than size.....right?
bish Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I could put this in the sex forum, but it's more of a dating question as well I suppose. Just something I have been wondering about. It seems that men are more attracted or want to date women with big breasts. Breasts don't matter to me. I don't find flat as a board attractive as a woman wouldn't really care for a 2 inch d!ck. But as long as there is "something" there, its all good with me.
vonerik012 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 It depends on her bone structure/body type. If she is a bigger woman with small breasts, that is not attractive. If she is slender with small breasts, that is fine.
fral945 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 So how big is big? Like a C or a B? Sometimes I feel very self conscious because of my chest, so in my case I can't stand them. I called for a consultation and when I told them my bra size she thought I was totally nuts. What are your dating preferences? Would you date someone with really big breasts? (but looked kind of funny in shirts). Advice/opinions? I love big boobs. My dating preferences are big boobs. Yes, I would (and prefer) to date women with really big boobs. I also think breast reductions should be outlawed.
tanbark813 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I also think breast reductions should be outlawed. Seconded. It's like slapping God in the face.

SweetGuy99 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I'm not a fan of big breasts, especially if they are fake; they just look too ... unnatural. Smaller can often be better. I dated a woman with something like double F's--and, really, it was just too much work. I felt like I was lifting weights every time we 'got busy'. Seriously, anything more than a sizable handful, and a guy is just asking for trouble. Most importantly, though, a woman's attitude is what matters the most. Some of the sexiest women I've ever dated have been petite and small-breasted. It's not what you have--it's how you carry yourself. Personally, I would never trade a small-breasted woman with a healthy, playful attitude ... for a pair of fake double D's and a load of insecurities.

So how does everyone feel about this subject? I know it's really personal, but I'm been doing research on breast lifts/breast reduction/breast inhancement. What are your dating preferences? Would you date someone with really big breasts? (but looked kind of funny in shirts). Advice/opinions? Laurie, I know where you are coming from! Some time ago, I considered the pros and cons of a breast reduction and ultimately decided against it. My boobies are a good size for my height and weight(I think). I'm a pinch under 5'5 (about 120lbs) and am a 34D. I can fit into different kinds of bras (down to a 36C and sometimes up to a 34DD) depending on the brand, etc. My weight also fluctuates (depending on if I'm at school or at home). However, the boobies remain the same. I've read that working out helps you go down in bra size, but I don't know if there is any truth to it. My bf loves them and doesn't understand why I have so many issues with them. For the longest time, I thought they were too big and felt very uncomfortable wearing t-shirts and flimsy tops. I HATE that men don't always look me in the face when speaking to me. The other day, I went up to a prof to ask a Q and he kept taking peeks at my chest...and it was SO damn obvious too. This kind of unwanted attention really annoys me and makes me feel bimboish at times (ugh). However, I've come to terms with the fact that my boobies are just fine the way they are and look fine with my body shape. If I really sat down and thought about it, I'd have to say "NO!" to a breast reduction - the scarring, pain and trauma of the ordeal isn't worth it. In fact, it seems I'm the only one who thought I needed a breast reduction. For me, it had a lot to do with dealing with my feelings of "growing up" and womanhood and the rest of it. I had to sort out these feelings...and it took me a while. On MOST days, I love my boobs but there are days when I curse them b/c I look like a total hooch in whatever it is I'm wearing (including button down shirts) - but these moments are increasingly infrequent. I go braless in some dresses, etc and I look perfectly fine. For now, gravity has been kind...but I have no idea how babies and aging will affect them (I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it). You have to ask yourself first if your anxiety stems from a REAL issue (that is, your boobs are TOO big, hurt your back, etc) or if it's the result of other issues and fears. You'll see that once you determine this, it gets much easier.
rod_in_gtown Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I like them natural. If they're natrally small, then I like them that way. but I'm generally turned off if they're larger than aesthetically pleasing for her frame. That said, most large Cs and Ds are not pleasing to me. I'm happy with a B or a small or medium C. Again, this all depends on your height and bone structure. Whatever is harmonious.
The Collector Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Perky. Small to medium is ideal. But I've had fun with all sizes.

My ex was a 32G and I definitely wasn't complaining! My advice is relax and learn to like what you have.
CandyGirlXO Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I'm like you 5'2 105lbs. I was a big 34B which was great IMO but my 1st year of college I gained some weight like normal and then I lost it. My boobs became tear dropped and very saggy for a 24 year old so I got implants. Now I'm a 34C. I did it more for the perkiness, not so much for the size. I'm recently single and it concerns me that a lot of guys don't like fake boobs but IMO they look 100% better than before! Before I felt like every time I took off my bra my boobs were taking off too. Like you they looked great in a bra. But now when I am in a new relationship I will be confident when they see my boobs. They are full and perky and I love it. Do what makes YOU happy.

But I like them fake or real
