Indygrrl:
1.) Its hard to compare or judge when you’re wearing black. Post more pix in lighter clothing.
2.) I don’t know about you, but does the guy with the beard an the green shirt have implants? That’s a suspicious-looking picture!
Indy- thanks for the tasteful pics. You look nice, and you certainly “walk the talk”. I could vote along with Cal for another pic, but I don’t want people to think that I am a dirty old man- although I probably am. 
I think Heidi’s aren’t what she got naturally. But so? Now, true- nice firm “real” breasts are nicer- regardless of size. But- I don’t like small droopy saggy breasts, and I’d pay for and support my SO if she had such boobies and wanted them augumented. (She has large breasts that sag as much as you would expect something that size to sag- and they look better than fine to me)But just to something reasonable. A freind of mine got hers done to re-instate what she had before she had a baby, and that’s fine by me. Not nessesary, but she is happy, and they look nice & natural.
HUGE unatural fake boobs kinda bother me- but if the lady wants them- it’s her body.
If you guys are really really sure you can tell fake boobs from real ones then take this test.

I love there’s a warning on the bottom of the each page saying “You cant return to this page so double check your answers!” Like it’s the SATs or something!
I got 22 out of 36, FWIW.

LOL ! Bet you wouldve loved this test to be in the SATs…
Women deform their bodies in many ways, not just surgically, because they have given into social pressures.
for anyone who succumbs to breast implants (to only enlarge not replace a breast lost from cancer) they are searching for power/happiness through external means. It is shallow. And it is sad.
I’m much more attracted to people who want to grow; challenge their own and society’s beliefs…rather than rolling over and playing Western cultures bitch.
I struggle with this too. I have had an eating disorder since
I was 15, and I admit that cutlural ideals influenced my disorder thinking in the beginning.
MissBungle- why oh why is it “deforming” for a young mother to want to have her breasts back to the way they were before she had her kid? I don’t think it was nessesary, but hardly “deforming”. Is using beauty creme to restore your skin to what is was like when you were a bit younger also “deforming”?
Now, having an “eating disorder” is just plain unhealthy. But we are not talking about that here.
Deform MissBungle? Sure, some plastic surgery or body modification is not to my taste, but I wouldn’t use a fightin’ word like deform.
As for shallow, well yeah. But so what, most people are a combination of shallow and deep. It’s the nature of the beast and as long as you’ve got a happy balance of the two, where’s the harm?
Not everybody has plastic surgery for the same reason. Some people DO have it in an attempt to make their body provide a peace that their mind might be better able/better suited to provide. Other folks just want to not have ‘arm wings’ or mis-matched boobies because they’re aethetically displeasing.
For me, if I ever need a little help that surgery can provide I’m gonna go for it. There’s no shame in taking an aspirin if I have a headache, same thing for a tummy tuck or whatever, I say.
Why are you people having a tantrum?
that was my humble opinion. and i put it in the correct forum.
BadBaby, your example is skewed. physical pain is not the same as being emotionally weak, vain and shallow as to get a tummy tuck.
DrDeth. ah! yes… get those breasts back to looking like they were before you kids. right. instead of opening up a college fun for your kid… spend $5000 to get nice titties. good parent.
If I had babies, I would accept my stretch marks, embrace my sagging tits… because afterall… MY BODY JUST MADE LIFe… how wonderful IS THAT? I woudln’t feel that anything is “wrong” with my body after it blessed me with a baby.
I own every blemish and imperfection my body has. I don’t need correcting. Accepting my body is a humbling, rewarding, amazing challenge and I’m working through it.
Regarding the OP’s question as to guys’ preferences: I used to turn my nose up at augmented breasts “on principle.” But once I actually thought about it a bit instead of going with my knee-jerk reaction, I realized it’s not so different from a tattoo (of which I have a couple), piercing, or whatever. People can do what they want.
Call it vain or shallow or “emotionally weak” if you want; the fact is that people like to look good, both to themselves and to the opposite sex (or the same sex).
Which do I prefer? All of 'em. Big, small, natural, augmented; I’m a fan.
I don’t object to implants in general, just when they don’t look right on the body. Some people say naturally large breasts look better but some of those are just implants that were done well. If Heidi has implants they look natural and attractive enough for it not to matter when I look at her.
Agreed. (redheads are just yummy)
Doing something to feel better about your body, to feel like you look great, is emotionally weak?
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look in the mirror and say “I look great today!” If part of looking great to someone is getting some implants, who are you to judge? Is it emotionally weak to put on makeup and dress nice when you go out? Is that not “accepting your body”?
There’s nothing wrong with looking and feeling good about yourself. A truly attractive person is one who feels great about themself. Getting implants or other surgery is another way to getting there. Do I necessarily think it’s a good idea, or that it’s necessary? Nope (I prefer the natural look, myself). But should I stand in someone’s way or judge them on their decision about their own body? No way.
Did anyone else think this thread would be about Home Improvement and Tool Time?
And in what way isn’t it?
MissBungle,
No one is having a tantrum. They are a little shocked that you would be so rude as to call the surgery deforming when you know at least one person reading this thread has had said surgery.
This morning I waxed my eyebrows. Pulled the hair out by the roots. For some reason, society tells me (and I tend to agree - I kind of have a very bushy unibrow if I don’t wax) that I am more attractive this way. It is painful. There is no reason to do it. And I take $15 away from my children when I have it done in the salon that I could have put in their college funds.
Last weekend I had my hair dyed. $100 from the kids college fund for a cut and color. I have very nice hair, but I’m getting to the age where I have a little grey and I’m just vain enough to cover it. I love my mother’s salt and pepper - and I think I’m heading there – but I don’t want to head there until after my kids have left elementary school - I’m not ready for them to see their mother as “old.”
Now, I haven’t gone under the knife to lift my sagging breasts back to their pre-pregnancy perkiness. I’ve thought about it - in passing - but I don’t think I’d ever do it. But it really is just further down the scale of “making yourself attractive” as dying my hair or pulling out my eyebrows.
I have nothing against breast implants. In fact, I have a VERY GOOD lady friend who has had them.
However, I am void of any attraction I might have for a woman’s bust if I KNOW she has implants. I might not know what’s real and what’s fake, because I don’t have a very good eye for such things, and I never “felt” a fake one. With the knowledge of a bust being fake, it would feel as if I am not really lusting over any biological part of the female, only a “modified” part of her. Sure, I wouldn’t know the difference, but the actual bust isn’t what would turn me off, (not that I know of, like I said, I haven’t had experience). Image, make-up, and sexy cloths aside, I prefer to connect to something ’real’ (I use that term loosely), and it would just seem more… intimate?
This is just the way I see it, some people might consider breasts that have been modified, ’real’, and that’s FINE! I really like a lot of different breast shapes and sizes; I just would like to rest my head on something that’s ‘all her‘. If a woman does it, despite any criticism, then I admire their doing what makes them happy. On top of all else, I don’t think I would be attracted to a type of woman who would want them. This excludes women who have ‘lost’ a part of themselves for certain reasons, that feel as they lost their femininity. I know if I lost a “ball”, I would want something done about it.
I am against the use of the word “enhance” when describing work done on a woman’s chest. No one in the world is qualified to label any breasts as “enhanced”. It’s all in the eye of the beholder!
Here’s a question I have:
Some women say they do it for themselves and no one else. I don’t understand how this can be true, since it’s other women that must influence them. If a woman were cut off from all human contact for her whole life on, let’s say a deserted island, I doubt she would look at her reflection in the water and wish she had bigger breasts. I mean, really, do women really get implants for themselves? Why would so many show them off then? Hey, maybe it isn’t FOR anyone else, but the urges of getting them SPRANG from other women?
I’m not trying to be an ass; I’m really open to your responses.
BEcause someone here has implants here, I am suppose to change my humble opinion???
surgically adding plastic to your breasts is a far cry from plucking eyebrows.
come on now.
they get it for themselves… in the way that it will bring THEM attention and adoration and “confidence”. but of course, they wouldnt get them if they weren’t a part of society.
No not change your opinion, but perhaps not choose quite so loaded words when describing it. Here we have only your words to form our opinion of you - and right now your words are telling us you value your own opinion much more highly than the feelings of others. But, to each his or her own.
I see plucking your eyebrows as only much lower on the scale of painful and/or potentially harmful and/or expensive alterations we make to our bodies to be attractive. Its cheaper, less painful, and doesn’t involve surgery. There are other things on the scale as well. High heels (which may damage your feet), tanning and tanning beds, taking diet drugs (or - IMHO - drinking anything containing Nutrasweet - I’d rather fill my body with silicone than drink as much Nutrasweet as some women I know). You could bleach and or cap your teeth, get a face lift or a tummy tuck. Pin your ears back because they stick out too much, get a tatoo or piercings. . .
Few women (and few men for that matter) are completely immune to doing anything at all to make them more attractive. But everyone gets to choose where on the scale they are comfortable.
I, personally, don’t get tatoos and piercings. A number of my friends have tatoos and I just don’t get why anyone would do that to themselves.
MyFootsZZZ, look through the above list. Do you make yourself more attractive for yourself or for others? Every day you make choices about how you look and present yourself. Why? Even if your choice is to carry extra weight and seldom wash or cut your hair, they are still choices. Those are some of the same reasons a woman might choose implants.
I wonder how Heidi is going to look at 80 with her boobs pointing at the sky or would those look more like a sock with a tennis ball in it?
