breast enchancement

[PrettyinInk]

As a guy, frankly, I really don't care. Ass comes before chest in my book anyway. And more guys are gravitating towards ass first nowadays anyway.

 

If one has augmented features, I would only have a problem if they're going around calling people who aren't confident in themselves 'insecure', or being condescending towards others. Otherwise, it's whatever really.

 

If you want the larger chest, just go for it. But (in my view) the big boob craze among us men is slowly becoming outdated. And ass is taking over.

 

it is not about what guys like or girls like. it is about what makes me feel good, that is the important part after all.

 

I also find it facinating that this thread turned from me asking WOMEN who have had breast implants what their experiences were like into who does and who doesn't like breast implants. as if the opinions of other people have any effect on my decision making.

Haha. Such is LS. But aside from that, as I've said earlier, just do what makes you happy.

 

Which means, yes, my ass preferences was probably a moot point, since everyone knows this

 

But more importantly, going by your response, I think you've come to your decision about implants.

 

Have a good day.

My opinion is my opinion, but that doesn't and shouldn't make any difference to anyone. If it improves a woman's self-image, and if she is comfortable with the risks, then go for it, but be realistic, and don't expect men to not notice the difference.

Yup, this is your decision. But what happens when it's time to replace the implants since they're not permanent and you're short on the funds to do this?

should i never invest in anything because the fear or probability of something going wrong in the future?

what is the price of self esteem?

i know the risks, i have been researching, just looking for opinions of helpful and experienced people

perhaps you are confusing me with someone. i commented in an earlier post that i am not concerned with them looking real or fake; everyone who knows me (which are the people who matter) will know they are fake. not concerned with what others think

and if i can find someone who loves me small boobs and all i am pretty sure i could find someone who loves me fake boobs and all not that i need to worry about that right now!

[JustJoe]

Then I guess I don't see the point of it. If you are confident enough to get a man, having small tits, then what is the point of enlarging them? Are you a slave to fashion? Are you overly concerned about your appearance? In my opinion, I would not alter my body if I'm confident with it, without some very compelling reasons. As I said, JMHO. BTW, where in the mitten?

i feel like my body is not proportionate, nothing to do with being "confident enough to get a man." when i look in the mirror i want to be all smiles about what i see instead of critical.

confidence has more to it than looks you know...

 

in all honesty there is a lot to consider, and i have not made my decision yet; still doing research, want to learn as much as possible so i know i am making the right choice for ME.

i have been harassed my entire life about having a small chest, things that would make you cringe if i told you the stories. the first thing i did when i came to the conclusion i wanted to do this was sit down and write 30 reasons why i wanted this, and not one of them was shallow or had a thing to do with anyone else. i think of it more as a healing process than anything (what if i doesn't make me feel better? you ask... i have thought about that too, which is why i am waiting, and thinking, and taking my time, and asking questions of people who have been through the experience).

 

i believe the problem here is that people do not understand the complexity that surrounds body image issues; the main reason for plastic surgery. everyone thinks it is about vanity, or wanting to be a centerfold of something, that is just ridiculous. some people just want to feel good about themselves. if you feel good about yourself naturally, and feel like there is nothing you want to improve, i say great for you! so why would you say shame on me for wanting to feel the same?

i have had many surgeries, i am well aware of the risks, it is scary ****, if i could go to the gym and work out my boobs to make them bigger, or pop some magical pill everytime i wanted clevege i would rather take that route, but that just is not possible.

if it increases my self esteem and makes me feel better about me, then why the hell should i care what someone else thinks? i don't i do many things to make me happy that do not necessarily please other people.

 

as far as the comment about loving yourself for who you are that TBF posted earlier; well i have 3 tattoos, does that mean i do not love myself because i went out an inked my body and no longer have what i was naturally given? no it doesn't mean that at all.

 

 

that was long.

 

the mitten is michigan

Joe-

ps, it kind of makes me laugh a little that you cannot grasp the fact that women might think independently enough so that all their decisions do not revolve around the reactions of men.

[climbergirl]

After 3 kids and breastfeeding, what I was left with was not what I had prior to kids. I went from a large B to AA.

 

Got them done ~12 years ago (saline) and haven't had any problems. And I had one more child, breast fed and there has been no change. There are faint scars in my arm pits, but nothing that you'd notice if you weren't looking for them. I am now a small C. Look natural but do not feel natural, BTW.

 

Never regreted my decision.

Pretty in Ink, I spent three years in Michigan , when I was in HS, so I know about the mitten, but WHERE in the Mitten. I lived down near the "cuff", around Jackson, but we have a vacation cabin near Munissing in the U.P. I completely understand where you are coming from. My GF's mom had BC and had a Mastectomy. She had augmentation to help with her self-image, so I'm not at all against it. I was just cautioning you about the issues you will face. I never said that you should kowtow to the opinions of men, only that men can tell the difference, that's all. Whatever you decide, just make sure you seek out the best sources of info and it seems that you have already done that, so it's all good:)

[stellaluna]

All men who have seen real boobs and touched them can tell fakes from natural.

 

I prefer saggy or small natural tits than weird looking tits that look like rocks hanging on the woman's chest.

 

Its true that everyone has insecurity, but plastic surgery suggests that the person most likely has rock-bottom self-esteem.

 

I agree with you jm I prefer natural. Fake tits don't do much for me and they feel relly weird to touch.

 

I also agree that I always think of girls that do this as insecure. Not al girls but the ones that flaunt them are a big turn off.

[PrettyinInk]

livonia, 30 minutes west of detroit, about an hour east of jackson i believe.

[JustJoe]

We played a team from there in the State Football playoffs. Beat em too.

[CLC2008]

I like my (mine) boobies squishy.

 

Maybe I'll change my mind though in 10 years, who knows.

There are no dollars and cents attached to self-esteem, just like a pair of breasts aren't going to give you self-esteem.

 

As far as things going wrong in the future, you might want to ask the millions of unemployed due to the current economic crisis recovery.

that is the point, stuff goes wrong, lives change, we cannot read the future, should we never risk anything just incase something bad happens down the line? this can be related to anything in life.

-maybe i should not get married because it MAY end in divorce.

-maybe i should not buy a house because i MAY lose it.

-maybe i should not invest in an education because in our current economic state it will not help me make more money.

 

you are talking to someone who is from one of the most effected states by the recession, so please don't preach to the choir or make this about what you think people should or should not spend their money on; people should do things that make them happy, not please anyone else.

 

you are right there is no price of self esteem, which is why IF i feel like it, i will buy boobs, because yes, they will make me feel better; if you knew me you would know why, but you don't so please reserve your judgements for a situation that you know about

[Tiberius]

I'd get mine lifted if I had the cash flow!

For now, I stick with botox.

 

omg for real? Are you even 20?

If that is you in your Avie, and you've squishy boobs, you are just my type of woman.:D
