Both sides of the fence have it “tough” from men… I’m willing to bet that for every fool that’s overlooked you because of your smaller set, have overlooked me, saying, “More than a mouthful/handful is a waste.” And not one of those men, on either side of the fence, ever saw our brains, or our hearts. They just wanted to get laid. :smack:

From one C to D cup girl to another, we’re kicking you out of the club. I’m not going to lie, having big tits kicks ass. I love 'em and wouldn’t trade 'em for the world.

Luckily for me, hubby feels the same way.

Anyway, the shirt’s not offensive to this chick. It’s also not funny, but that’s a whole other issue.

I saw a girl at the mall wearing a shirt that said “Voted Most Flexible By Your Boyfriend.” And yet, if I called her a whore, I bet she’d get offended.

Another good shirt might be:

(Or “he’s” with stupid, if your prefer.)

I wonder if the people organizing this “girlcott”\* are getting any money from A&F. For the amount of pulicity they’re generating, they should be.

\*what the evening news said they were calling this protest.

Actually, there is one that says, “I’M NOT WITH STUPID ANYMORE.”

They have a t-shirt that simply says “Inquire Inside”.

It seems different from all the others which are designed to get a reaction out of people. Actually I kind of like it and thinking of getting one. In the spirit of introspection and all. Or am I missing something? Is there a more crass meaning to this that I’m not getting?

I think you could get away with either.

Although I’d prefer you with neither. 😃

Then it’s official: I’m out of the D cup club, you’re in; I’m taking to the uneven bars, and you get to lug the jugs around.

Whee!

So then…

I’m flirting with the wrong person? Hrmph!

And yes, I have made my [opinion](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=293051) on the subject known.

Hey, cool, I sounded off in that thread too (post 35), and I was wishing for tiny titties back then, too. 😛

Can’t be helped, really. Was born this way. Got 'em from my Dad, so he says. And I’m not too into the surgery thing, even if it was for a reduction… unless the doctor told me it was seriously affecting my health (and who knows? In the coming years, maybe they will be too much for my spine?) I won’t go under the knife.

I just keep 'em in their slings and try to make sure the headlights are pointing in the right direction, doing pushup after vain pushup, hoping to make them perky. ~sigh.

Ah well. My husband likes them.

Kicks ass? You’re married, for christ sakes. The KA factor has to be downgraded by at least 6 points on the Techtonic Tit Scale. 😉

I’m not positive, but if my filthy mind is any indication, then yes, there is a more crass meaning to this that you’re not getting… :eek:

As a sort of opposite to the one in the OP, one of my friends (who’s asian) has a tshirt saying “I will not love you long time”, which just cracks me up 😛

As regards the whole breast size thing, I tend to prefer women with a C or less (or at least, that’s what I guess their size to be 😉 ). Just because the look of a women running with her chest bouncing all over the place looks ew to me. My male friends disagree :rolleyes:
