I was just watching a True Hollywood Story-The girl was a Bunny, etc, sex symbol, etc. This was pre-implant. Actually, I grew up before implants so my question is, do ALL guys only want big boobs? ---

I wouldn’t refuse to get involved with a woman just because she had large ones, but it definitely is not a turn-on. Ask the women how many would prefer to date a guy with elephantiasis of the balls–I’d imagine it would be aesthetically similar. ---

Natural is just that…natural. Dance with the guy that brung ya. A friend of mine has been determined to get implants, and I’ve finally persuaded her not to. And she’s got nice boobs to begin with, I just don’t understand. I like 'em real…the boobs, and the girls. And these girls with the astronomically sized boobs…jeez. That’ll look good when you’re 60. ---

While I don’t think larger breasts alone would make me prefer one girl over another, I won’t deny that a given attractive girl may be more attractive with larger breasts. ---

I don’t like them _really_ small, although it’s never been a dealbreaker in the past. 🙂 But too big is certainly not a good thing in my book. Too big is a vague description, of course. It all depends on the person, their weight/height, et cetera. Suffice it to say _my_ girlfriend has perfect boobs. 😉 ---

Breasts are only too small if they’re smaller than mine. They’re only too large if they are larger than my head. ---

No. Natural is best, prefer smaller to big, but it’s frankly not terribly important. ---

34Cs have been the staple of my life. Really, while they attract us, and they’re fun to be with, they _can_ be just too exaggerated. Since the advent of the Internet I’ve seen things that even the most fervent 6th grade cartoonist couldn’t imagine, and I don’t find 'em at all attractive. For most of us men, women appeal to us on several levels; physical attraction is one level. Certain curves and angles draw the eye, but the whole person beats any one physical feature and, frankly, for me, a flat chested gal with the right attitude goes a lot further than monster mammaries ever could. ---

The French say they should fit into a wineglass. That is a pleasant thought, but in _Much Ado About Nothing_ Benedict in describing the perfect woman says “And her hair…shall be the color that pleaseth God”. One could paraphrase the bard. ---

Most of us straight guys have certainly talked **AT** enough of them. Carried on a conversation with one? No. FTR, I prefer they be in proportion to the rest of the woman’s frame. But women are more than just a collection of body parts, a flat chested woman who is exciting to be with, talk to, and damn fun to be around is a lot sexier than a large pair of breasts attached to a woman who makes your skin crawl. ---

Breast size really doesn’t matter to me. I never even understood why some guys were into huge hooters. But hey, given a choice between “T&A”, I guess I’m an “A” guy. But seriously, a woman’s personality, character, and intellect are far more important to me than her breast size. ---

How the woman herself responds made her breasts more or less of an issue for me. A fond memory of a very good friend stays with me, because she flaunted her very small breasted body with such happy enthusiasm. Very hot. And very small. I still think of her, whenver the subject of small breasts comes up. ## Tris Tits. Love 'em. So sue me. ---

Big boobs? No thanks. They can be fun for a while, but personally I prefer small ones. Fake ones, however, are right out. ---

Quality over quantity. I look for firmness, roundness, nipples in alignment. Size is often of least importance. I’ve never seen fake breasts in person, but I’d imagine they’re much like vinyl siding—flawless in the technical sense, but devoid of character. Many “naturally” large breasts are simply a product of the woman’s obesity. It can look nice all bundled up in a bra, but when that bra comes off…no man wants to have to gather the meandering breast up into one big pile before he can play with it. It could also be that I like the young look, and small breasts look younger. Also, middle-aged small breasts usually look very good; middle-aged large breasts often sag heavily. Besides all that, A is _ohsoverymuch_ more important than T. Chris Luongo, Rumpologist P.S. The OP didn’t ask about whether a woman’s breasts or personality are more important. I hope I don’t sound like a womanizer here; I’m just trying to answer the breast question. ---
