If I were building my version of the perfect breast–quarters. Mine are about like that, but very hairy so they’re hard to see unless you get right on 'em and… Oh, and as for the effect of pancakes vs. dimes? I reckon they’re a lot like penes: Once they’re available for intimate use, size is only one of a dozen other happy concerns going on at the same time. I seriously doubt they’d ever be a deal breaker. ---

They change with the moon, the mood, motherhood, milk, maturity, and with their own secret will. ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > Nice areolas are very important to getting good reception. Given that the optimum reception (areola=antenna) of an antenna is determined by: (for eighth-wave) areola length (substitute diameter for length) in feet = 117/frequency in megahertz, an 800 mHz radio signal would be best received by an areola of 1.8 inch diameter. This is based upon a single areola. A pair of closely matched, but not identical areolae presents the query of a dipole vertical or horizontal antenna array, dependent on the antenna position. Input, **Q.E.D.** Perhaps this explains why police, fire, and EMS have been moving their radio operations to the 800 band. 😛 ---

Missed question mark after Q.E.D., inviting our SDSAB member and radio man to comment. My bad. ---

I believe that I speak for all men in saying that we prefer large inverted nipples with no areolas, correct? ---

**Rhinocerous** Please tell your GF that there is no wrong size for an areola. Tiny to freaking huge they are all good. 😃 If I had to pick my favorite her’s might just be the ticket. 😃😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/areola-size/337661.md?page=1)
