Guys, guys, guys. Don’t freak. I’m totally cool with my breast size. Especially since one of Carl’s friends remarked after he first met me (not to my face, of course), “I like her tits. They’re perky.” I just hated the insinuation that a full size and a half larger than me wasn’t enough to fill out a bathing suit or tank top. As a matter of fact, I’m filling out the tank top that I am wearing quite nicely. Now use this thread for the reason I started it! Complain about other things! * * * [Cessandra](http://www.angelfire.com/tx3/miscjunk/profile.html) The Power Of Christ: 2000 years and He hasn’t come yet! ---

OK, Falcon and all the rest of us, um, well endowed ladies will now bitch about how having big boobs can be a pain in the… back. Look it’s no fun, in the 6th grade I was wearing a 34/36 c cup bra, you can’t guess how often I heard the old “hey whats worse than a hurricane ? A texas titty twister” line followed by a pinch of the boob. Yes boys would do that back then, just to cop a feel. Now I wear a f cup , and that is hard on the back and shoulders. If you don’t wear a bra , you dare not run, not even if your house is on fire, your boobs will hit you in the face and knock you out. I hate bras, they are torture devices IMHO, but I have to wear one, like it or not 75 % of the time. So there . 😛 * * * Ayesha - Lioness * * * There are two solutions to every problem : the wrong one, and mine (Thomas A. Edison) ---

I cried the day I had to buy a D cup bra. My best friend has small breasts, maybe a tiny but bigger than how you described yours, Cass, and she complains all the time, but I would trade her in a minute. Umm, let me caveat that by saying I would trade her if I could also have a little body to wear the little boobies on. I think what men are attracted to more that a particular size is proportion. Different women look good with different size breasts. You have to admit that women who are heavier and have wide hips look even worse if they have very small breasts. Here’s my crude but womanly asessment of how breasts fit into the whole package: as long as your breasts stick out further than your belly, you probably look pretty good. ---
