We’ve had the question the other way around many times before (I know, I usually post in them. And people are probably getting tired of it.) But how about it? Why _would_ Boobs like men? Men usually play too hard or too long, pinching or getting too rough. And they spend too much tim staring at them, and too little time looking at the eyes. So why _would_ boobs like men? Or don’t they? ---

I have no idea about why boobs would or would not like men. Men certainly do like boobs. I have a theory that the reason men like to have sex is because when doing so they get to see a naked woman. But the OP reminds me of a Benny Hill routine where they are flipping through the channels on the TV – pardon me, the telly – and the dialog goes something like this: “-but she must have-” ::Click to next channel:: “-TITS LIKE COCONUTS! Nuthatches, on the other hand, prefer sunflower seeds…” ---

Why would boobs want men to look you in the eye? If you get bothered by not being looked at, could we not assume that they’d be similarly offended at being ingnored? ---

The street is not entirely one way. I am a male with a pierced nipple. Some women are initially put off by it, but eventually it becomes a point of fascination. 'nuff said. ---

> [@Kythereia](#): > > Women don’t always pay much attention to their boobs. Men, on the other hand…😃 That’s the whole thing, of course. Give a woman boobs and she’ll cover them up, put them in a sling, and often be embarassed about them being too big, too small or too something else. But if you entrust a man with boobs, he’ll take them out and play with them any time he has a chance. He will love them without reservation and never, ever take them for granted. ---

> [@SusanStoHelit](#): > > So… boobs are wasted on women? Not in my experience. Some women really like boobs, 'specially their own. I don’t mind 'em too much, either, as long as they aren’t so big they get in the way. And that’s all I’m gonna say about that. You want details, read Penthouse Forum. Stranger ---

He will love them without reservation and never, ever take them for granted. I think that’s it. It’s all about nurturing and freedom. There are plenty of guys out there who will also “free the little guy,” too, given the opportunity. Women, on the other hand, seem to find the little guy to be a little silly-looking, which can’t help much in esteem issues. ---
