While I wish my breasts were a little bigger*, I’m happy with them the size they are (B). I don’t try to emphasize my femininity more because they’re small (actually, I don’t tend to emphasize it at all).
*Being 5’4" and 100lbs soaking wet, anytime I bring this up I get told that I’m proportional. Well, I’d rather be a little more ‘proportional’.
Could it have anything to do with unnatural Breasts, IE large implants?
If I see large, fake looking breasts, my first “knee jerk” reaction is dumb bimbo.
Is this a form of unfair profiling? Of course it is.
Has my real life experience generally born it out to be true? Of course, it has but with enough exceptions, so I know I am guilty of making a bad first analysis.
To the Op: Thhhp!!!
Jim {I am 5’ 8" and I like all breasts}
This has always been a sore subject for me. I have been a double A all my life until some weight gain in the last few years has brought me up to an A. (I’m 35.) It’s been pretty hard to cope with. I don’t think there was a single day of seventh grade that I didn’t come home from school crying, and there were plenty of those in later years as well. Even my mom would make fun of me. She says she meant it in a loving way, but I took it hard.
As for how it changed me, it definitely did that, but I wouldn’t say it made me more feminine. After a while I just decided that I was a deformed freak and I should be grateful for any little crumb of male attention. Let’s just say that didn’t work out too well.
I have now gotten to a point where I can accept the way I look, although I’m not crazy about it. I’m fairly proportional and I realize there are plenty of guys out there who like 'em little. I can even afford surgery now, but something in me will not allow me to take such drastic measures, although I think it would make me happy to some degree.
And there you have it: The Sad Tale of Julie’s Tits.
I will ask my friend John tonight. He is 7’0" tall–I will ask him what he thinks of short guys like you and get back to you. Sort of sad though that you want to be taller. Maybe you should have eaten your veggies when you were younger–then you wouldn’t feel so self conscious about your height.
Could be. After all, the air he is breathing is at an altitude of three inches higher than the air I’m breathing. I wonder what the weather’s like up there.
I’m a C and wish I was a B. Clothing options are way more betterer for Bs than Cs.
Count me in as another big’un (D or DD depending on weight) that would like to be smaller. The thing I’m most jealous of is the lingerie. As and Bs get all kind of satiny bras in all kinds of neat colors, while I’m stuck with grandma bras in the exciting choices of beige, white, black, and… that’s it!
Everyone’s familiar with the insecure short guy who overcompensates by becoming Napoleon/Bill Gates, but I’ve seen plenty of examples of the opposite: tall guys with (at best) average achievements in life who are jealous of anyone more successful, especially shorter guys.
Check out Frederick’s: my ex claimed they were a blessing for women so … blessed.
Amen, sister!
Seriously, anyone who says they are jealous can have mine, I’d be happier without these big ones. It made it hard when I was younger since I was such a tomboy. I started to dislike sports because it made running so awkward, and now they just seem to attract unwanted attention at times. :rolleyes:
Definately true. My innability to dunk a basketball and reach things on the highest shelves of Wal-Mart haunts me in my sleep.
I have big boobs, on a very tiny frame…like stupid big, not at all in proportion boobs. Still, I wouldn’t change them, because they’re part of me, and, annoying as they are, they’re still mine.
I would like, just once, to be able to wear an outfit that looks classy rather than slutty or frumpy. When you have big boobs and try to dress professionally for work you either look like a barmaid at Hooters or somebody’s maiden aunt- I can’t seem to find the middle ground between too covered up and not covered up enough.
Wrap dresses for example- if you’re slim with a boyish figure, you look classy, sophisticated and business-like, if you have big boobs and an hourglass figure you look sexy- not the image one might wish to project at work.
Sing it on the mountain.
I have DDD and I’d happily swap them out for a nice medium C. My husband would pout a little, but I’d be able to buy cute bras, find clothing that fits both my breasteses and my ribcage, run and jump without the awkward jiggling painfulness, and not have to be permanently vigilant about things like button gapping, food spillage and so forth.
Plus I might be able to go more than an hour awake without a bra. I haven’t gone more than an hour out of bed without a bra in more than 15 years. Even if my plan for the day entails nothing more strenuous than lounging on the couch watching bad TV with my sweetie, I still put on a bra because it just ain’t comfortable to have the girls without it.
I will say, however, that I currently worship at the shrine of Lane Bryant Cacique undergarments - they come in colors. OMG COLORS! COLORS OTHER THAN WHITE AND BLACK AND BEIGE! It’s a miracle! A revelation!
OK - OP checking back in.
To answer Lagomorph’s query, I think shorter men were somehow gypped by nature. They can think whatever they want.
I knew opening this thread would offend some of you of shorter stature - just as opening a fat/obese/larger-than-average thread creates a pile-on. For the record, I’m also fat/obese/larger-than-average at 360 lbs and have participated in those pile-ons. I will also admit, though, that I’m sensitive to the subject and, without a doubt, suffer some from fat-guy syndrome.
For those of you who are shorter, don’t tell me you’ve never looked at somebody that is physically non-average (hugely tall, little-person short, disabled, etc) and thought something to the effect that their life would be easier if their genes hadn’t handed them this hand of cards to hold.
For the man 5’5", I think you have problems that are unique to your height. Not just the not-being-able-to-reach-the-tallest-shelf kind either but women who reject you out of hand for your height, men who don’t take you as a serious competitor, etc. I’ve been instantly rejected by women for my weight. If I were still in the dating market, I’m sure there is women who’d reject me for my baldness. Whether you compensate with “short-guy syndrome” is your choice.
My ex-wife used to ask why strong-personality women all called “agressive” while men are simply “assertive”. Perhaps there’s some truth in that and a verification of Sailboat’s comment. However, tall guys and short alike can both be asses. I will admit that if a tall guy is an ass, he’s unlikely to be labeled as having “tall-guy syndrome” while the reverse is more likely.
Anyway - back to breast size. I, too, am in the camp that enjoys breasts of most sizes. Champagne cup & up is pretty much where my tastes lie. My wife is a DD and she’s showing the effects of gravity. She hates it. She’d like them smaller but the reduction surgery seems like such a hack and slash job it’s off-putting.
My wife, however, has a fair amount of pride in her profile. She enjoys showing off the puppies. My question was an extension of this form of feminine identity. Perhaps my initial analogy was ill-fated & ill-advised. My apologies to those I’ve offended.
This comment in my original post, by the way, is a poor attempt at a pun, not an insinuation.
OK, I know. :rolleyes: :wally
Personally, I wasn’t offended; I just thought it was a silly and fairly unneeded comment. That said, yeah, there are definately certainly traits deemed more desirable by society at large (at least American society; I can’t speak validly about anywhere else), but I don’t think these necessarily affect all the folks who don’t have them. To wit: just because a guy is short or fat or has massive acne or what have you doesn’t necessarily mean that guy’s going to have a complex about it. It comes down to confidence and people’s personal appearance can definately adversely affect confidence. I just think it’s plain wrong to assume that, because of height, weight, etc. someone’s going to definately have confidence issues. It’s just a falacy to assume that all short people or all fat people are jealous of the tall or the thin. Some? Maybe. Most? Doubt it. All? No way.
(I’m 4’ 2", 280 by the way).
Okay. 5’8".
My stats:
B cup
5’ 5" tall
140 pounds
wear size 10 jeans (US)
I wish I was bigger because it would balance out my butt. Right now I wear push-up bras or have silcone “lifters” in my bra. (A friend once told me,"If you get tried of them, you can put them in the freezer for an emergency ice-pack.)
Oh, and I like men under 6 feet. (My new hubby is 5’ 9" )
Oh yeah—I forgot to add: I’ve had two Birdgirls with B cups. One thought they were perfect and was very proud that they were “just almost a handful.” The other wished she had much bigger ones. I’m still with the former, because, you know, she’s got that confidence thing in spades. Just trying to back up my point &, well, actually address the OP instead of riding this tangent any further.
I’m sorry, but it should. You simply haven’t lived until you’ve reached up and grabbed a toaster oven off the top shelf for some old lady before sailing through the air into Sporting Goods to slam it through the nearest basketball hoop, breaking the backboard glass and igniting cheers from your fellow shoppers. Then you moonwalk out of the store while wailing on a sweet electric guitar. It doesn’t get any better than that.
I just popped sixteen boners.
