But why? Why do you like boobies so much? Ok, I don’t realy expect an answer. You don’t even know, do you? I assume breasts ( I mean the fleshy things you can put in underwire bras) came about because guys liked them. They serve no other purpose. It’s kind of like men and their huge dicks (homo sapian has the biggest dick by body size of any primate, and the theory is, they do because chicks dig it). But why do you like them? At least the dick thing makes sense :). Not that I won’t continue to leave my top button unbuttoned if it will really bring that much more joy to the world. ---

I am female and 35 and PRAYED like a big dog starting at the age of 11 to grow a nice curvy figure! It seemed womanly to me insted of my fear of having NOTHING at all -forever-. Prayer worked too ;)… and now I too, can not find clothes or bras to fit. I had my son and was unable to breast feed(due to complications and needing radiation x-rays and other things) so they were not “utilized” to their full potential. I do not flaunt them… but I do still find a curvy figure attractive. I also like in the middle Men… not pumped up like they are gonna explode… but not so thin they look like a tumbleweed might bowl them over. It is just all in perception and personal taste. ---

> [@](#): > > _sweat_ glands? > > Last I checked, breastmilk wasn’t sweat Nevertheless, tha’s where breast milk got its start. Mammary glands are evolved sweat glands, like it or not. Just like your teeth are evolved fish scales. BTW, Breats aren’t “just mammary glands”. Apes have mammary glands without having noticeable breasts (as do many mammals). We pe-programmed, hormonally-driven male humans are strongly affected by the container, not the glands. ---
