Tymp, now who’s being judgmental? I have a right to an opinion, and so do you, but if you don’t agree with my opinion, it automatically puts me in the wrong? Look, I’m judging people based on a decision they make to alter their body for a reason I find to be ridiculous, but I’m not saying that those people are bad or their existence is less valid than anyone else, I just don’t agree with a decision they’ve made in their life. That’s it, end of story. It has nothing to do with the color of a person’s skin, but I do think tattoos are rather absurd as well, now that you mention it. You can feel free to judge me as well, because that’s what people do. We set standards of social acceptance and gauge others and ourselves by how well they measure up against these standards, and that’s exactly what I’ve done. It’s my standards and not yours, so don’t get your panties in a wad.
Monkey, you can have whatever opinion you want. Makes no difference to me. You could have just left it with the statement that you don’t like fake tits. I could have respected that. Instead, you went on to state that “any woman who has breast augmentation surgery is shallow” and that’s just fucking stupid. Rather than making a statement about yourself, you’ve insulted a huge number of women. You’ve even managed to insult a few of my friends whom you will likely never meet. Such insults really just beg to have your opinion punted back up the orifice from which it oozed.
No worries. I’m wearing naught but a bow tie at the moment.
Well Tymp, if you think shallowness is an insult, that’s fine, but then you’re judging shallowness aren’t you? I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with being shallow, and a large section of our population could probably be catagorized as “shallow” (by which I mean having focused their concerns on outward appearances and placing lesser value on the individuals inner qualities), but I didn’t say they were stupid or assholes or whatever, just that any woman who has that type of surgery is not a woman that I’d be interested in. When you quote me, you leave out the opening words, which are “I feel that”, meaning it’s not a statement of fact, but just my perspective.
Over in the thread entitled Abolish the Pit you state that “Kindness, like optimism, is highly overrated”, and it’s a shame that you feel that way. I’m trying to be as kind in my discussion with you, but you obviously take your statement to heart and discard any attempts to do likewise. Hurl your insults if you may, but it doesn’t change my opinion, and I won’t play these silly little name calling Pit games either.
Fake breasts have a greater likelihood of looking nasty, IMOSHO. I saw a Jerry Springer episode about adult stars with massive knockers… and ALL of their breasts were wrinkled and nasty.
I guess, given Cyndar’s post, it’s really only the big implants that can readily be identified as fake. If there’s a lot less real tissue than fake, there’s probably gonna be consistency problems.
NOW, ladies, line up in order of size and unshirt, so’s the SDMB Breast Judge can start a-fondling!
monkeylucifer, these are your comments:
Also, I think most people feel insulted when labeled as shallow. The same goes for “stupid”.
Your attempts at “kindness” fall a little short when you reply directly to a poster with:
I just had to quote this gem to make myself giggle some more.
Once again, I have to say …
It’s not the size, it’s not the shape.
It’s who they’re attached to.
The amount paid for the implany surgery probably has a lot to do with how natural or attractive the breasts look as well. I’ve seen women with scars on the underside of their breasts that look horrible, and the implants themselves looked bad too. A cheap breast-job is bad.
A high quality job, like say, Denise Richards, looks pretty damn good. It all depends on the quality of the implants and the surgery.
For the most part, I prefer the real thing. Fake breasts, even if they look good, still don’t feel right, in my fairly broad experience.
Tymp, I was calling the decision to get implants stupid, not the individuals, and as for my quote that was directed toward Cyndar, you neglect to mention that there was a smiley there, which in my book denotes that the statement was meant to be lighthearted.
I’ve only ever knowingly seen one pair of fakes and those were attached to Paula Yates so, in the interests of preserving the environment, I suppose someone else may be wearing them now. They looked really great but fake. Can’t think they felt natural, either.
As for mother natures efforts, anything with wine cork sized nipples is great although I’m a bit ambivalent toward the mid range model. Pert or a little bulky hits the spot just right. Thank you for asking.
All other things being equal, I kinda like their presence on the female torso. I wouldn’t gravitate to someone because she was so equipped (or because of their size or condition) or avoid someone who lacked them (or, again, because of their size or condition). Given that, my aesthetic taste runs towards cute, curvy, and medium small, not large enough to interfere with mobility and whatnot. Much larger than that, they are aesthetic liabilities, but if I like the person I’m not going to gross out over them or anything (certainly they are no worse than obesity).
Just wanna say thanks to Tymp, for saying all the things I would have said if I had still been online. Shallow me had to go get my hair highlighted.
The connection between silicone implants and health problems has never been proven. In fact, a recent NIH study pooh-poohed the link so much, it was revised so as not to offend people like those at the above URL.
And equating health problems due to boob jobs with the Holocaust is just…pathetic.
Yes- i LOOOOOOVE TITS!!! However, i would think it is only right if the OP and some of the other posters gave us a link so we could judge for ourselves. 
Great post, Byz!
The only kind I do not care for is small AND saggy tits, like runny fried eggs- yech. Small & firm, or big & floppy- either is good. Fake is fine if they do not get to a grotesque size- anything bigger than a cantalope should be left to specialty strippers. Most of my girlfriends have had D-cups +.
I’ve posted this somewhere on the boards before, but I’ll tell again.
When I was 16, a male friend and I were talking about breasts in general.
Offhandedly he said, “You’ve got nice tits. Tell me, do you have those cute little nipples or big, nasty ones like Martha (Martha being his ex-girlfriend)?”
Having “big, nasty nipples” I declined to reply but was scarred for life.
It still pisses me off.
I have felt fake breasts, and (depending on the surgeon) you can have REALLY good ones, given time. They start to sag, just like real ones, and once they get a little bit looser can look great as long as they fit the body.
Byz, are you ranting or trying to get me turned on?
And wasn’t there some guy (if someone already mentioned it in the thres XKEWZ me, i haven’t read the whole thing) who didn’t like big nipples on women?
I went to Genovese, and they were selling these silicon-filled balls, which one squeezes to relieve tension and stress. Hmm, come to think of it…
Silicone or not, you’re thinking right on this one!
Dont the streses of the day just seem to dissapear between a pair of breasts?
Women rock. I LOVE women@!#
I also sometimes wonder how you can get anything done when you have breasts. If I had them I’d always wear clevage shirts and I’d be looking straight down for 90% of my day…
While I would agree that you can’t compare the two (the holocaust and implant health problems), I will still say that LOTS of research should be done before getting implants and that the girl on MTV who had hers removed recovered from all of the health problems she was having once they were out. I’m not judging anyone who has had it done, having known people who did, but I think that you should be very careful about what you do with your body.
Is it a North American thing for men to be obsessed with breasts? As far as I know, Continental (straight) men are more interested in a woman’s behind than her chest.
Some of us North American men are, too, Matt. Though, to be honest, I can become obsessed with almost any part of a lover’s body. I never cared too much about nipples until I met my wife. The first time she orgasmed while I was “nibling” hooked my for life.
