Are female breasts the feature with the largest variation?

I don’t remember seeing any abnormally large eyelashes or earlobes (e.g. 50 or even 10 times the smallest ones)

And people can grow their fingernails as long as they want to.

??

Breast size varies a lot within a homogenous population (e.g. among Nigerian women), whereas the amount of melanin varies across populations (e.g. between Nigerian and Swedish women) but within any given population (e.g. Swedes) there is not that much variation.

I don’t think we can see someone’s lactose enzymes, so that doesn’t count as a bodily feature.

…but although IANA gynocologist, my s.o. is. she affirms that her clients gentalia are as individual as their faces and she remembers more about them when viewing them knees in stirrups as it were than she does when they initially walk into her office. Furthermore she reckons she can recognise everyone of her patients from abelow waist view only

As a non professional however, I also have to agree, although discretion prevents me from telling her this as she may then be inquisitive about my sample size.

I’m glad that’s only true for her patients. I imagine life would get complicated if she couldn’t recognize anyone unless she’d gotten a good look at their genitals.

Torgo has really, really big knees.

Well, elfkin, I was all prepared to admit I was wrong. Until I clicked on the links provided below. You find me a woman of similar age to the woman depicted in the two-click-rule abiding b&w photo who has a serious case of micromastia ( very small or non-apparent breasts ) and measure their volume. Then measure the volume of each of that poor woman’s breasts.

100:1 sounds about right. If not, then would you give me 50:1 ?

I dated a girl whose boobs were so small, she used to joke that if she didn’t have nipples, she would have no figure at all. She was not kidding either. This girl literally had no boobs Her chest was straight and flat like a child’s.
I can easily believe 100:1 if not more based on my careful lengthly hands on inspection of my old girlfriend, and the picture, that can from the link, that DiosaBellissima posted.

Obviously this requires more research. Any volunteers? :smiley:

A small point wrt the comparison between breasts and feet: you’re quantifying breasts volumetrically but feet linearly, so you’d have to find a linear ratio of just under 4:1 to cover a volumetric ratio of 50:1.

You can compare feet volumetrically also if you like.

Also, have you ever seen anyone with feet that are 4 times the length of someone else’s feet? This becomes even less likely if we assume a roughly similar body size, and avoid rare, 1-in-a-billion, extremes.

Is there a boob-shape nomenclature? That’s what I want to know. I mean, we have words for different expressions of all sorts of things, why does something that obsesses us so much have so few descriptive adjectives? Or am I just not privy to what they are.

Can we link to high art? Maybe we can start looking up some classic nudes to create a lexicon. There’s enough of to start a movement, you know. (If it’s just three of us, it’s an organization; if it’s >50, it’s a movement. Speaking of which, instead of saying someone was banned, let’s say the person was moved to Group W.)
