I have a straight-up-and-down figure and my Aqua husband calls me a "little man" (which I hate) and reckons other males see me as a fellow man. It is really upsetting me because I personally am happy with my figure the way it is. I never ever need to wear a bra, firstly because my breasts are too small for any bra, secondly, because they are completely self-supporting. Plus, apart from their size - they are absolutely perfectly formed. There is no way I would have plastic surgery because I wouldn't do that to my body, and apparently implants feel hard.

Are there ANY guys who see women with small breasts as feminine? It's just that the subliminal "breast size" message is something I've always noticed - even when I was at school, the girls with a big frontage ALL had boyfriends. I used to ask my mother why it could be that I didn't have a boyfriend, and she reckoned it was because I looked "too much like a schoolgirl". My husband echoes this, he even says I look "like a little girl" as my face is also fairly youthful. I like to look young, but why must I always be judged on these purely physical attributes?

Perhaps guys are instinctively looking for women with large breasts because they think they will make better "mother" figures. I don't have any maternal instincts whatsoever, so perhaps this is an example of natural selection at work.

I wish I had the slim frame to go with, but I've got curves everywhere else, so I feel out of proportion.

I don't have problems with the guys though, unless you consider the flat jokes that I've become so used to putting up with.

Do I wish I had bigger boobs? Of course. I struggle with the idea of implants frequently, but I feel like you do... I don't want to do something like that to my body.

On the plus side... I can wear cute little tops without the risk of overexposure, and it is nice to know that people are looking at my face when I talk.

One boyfriend put it like this: "I like flat women better because they have cool personalities." It was a bad generalization, but I let it go. And after a comment like that, you probably don't need me to tell you the boy was a Sag!

I am not in that boat. The girls aren't huge (a full c), but at this point gravity has gotten the best of them. I would like to go bra-less, but it just isn't pretty anymore. At least you won't have that problem and yes there are men who love smaller breast. A man told me once more than a mouthfull was a waste.

I have had periods of distorted body image in my youth, and even in my adulthood, when I was 'too skinny' people said so, but I liked it. *After I had my daughter I got way skinny.. but I gradually got to where I am now, and have maintained.

I know men who like a small frame.. and though I embrace my curves, I think that is my ideal body type. When I see a slim woman body, and small breasts, I am a bit envious as they can just wear whatever they want.. and have a clean line to their figure....whereas, if I do I appear like I am showing 'em off.( not that I have large breasts, but because I am a normal weight ie; not skinny anymore... It appears that my breasts have grown. YAY!

There are some interesting takes on the "breast question" in this link (it seems a pertinent topic, given the current solar transit): http://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/nikolas.lloyd/evolve/breasts.html

I am tall (5'9") and a slim build. So i too feel outta proportion. If i didnt wear my super padded push up bra, i could easily pass for a guy. lol.

When i was younger it really bothered me to the extent of wishing for bigger breasts daily. I tried breast enhancement pills, creams, even pinching them (lol, i know its ridiculous)nothing worked. I saw all the good looking girls with bigger breasts than i in amongst all the gorgeous men at school. I longed to be one of "those" girls. It wasnt until I got outta high school that those feelings slowy disappeared. Many of my friends and even one's father told me

* I had nothign to worry aobut, all those beautiful women with biggin's (lol, married with children) would sooner or later be hating life, or be completly fake and unreal to any guy later in life.
*Also That i would never ever have to worry about them saggin'.
*i've also heard the line "anything more than a handful/mouthfuls a waste"

A few years back i had thought about implants ... but like you two, "how could i do that to myself" on top of all that, i have a friend who got implants .... she went from litterally nothing to HUGE. Talk about rock hard , that right there was enough to turn any person off. When hse raised her arm, they would dimple. You could actually see the sack inside her. Eeeewwwwuuuuuhhhhh! YUCK!!

I have had a DDD cup since I was 15 years of age. I have been told by more than one man that more than a handful is too much. I don't think that the size of the breast matters as much as how you feel having them. I will tell you all that mine are too big! They are in the way! And as gravity is taking it's toll.....my knees may start bruising soon! Because of these "girls" I have never been able to run for fear of knocking myself out!
Men my find big boobs sexy but once you are in bed lying on your back and "the girls" fall to the side and under your armpits and you cannot roll over without moving one of them first....I think the man starts to see things a little differently!
Now let's talk about cruel irony! As I stated before my "girls" (nicknamed Fugi and Everest)are BIG. When I had children I thought "finally, they will be good for something other than attracting attention from men and catching the crumbs from my meals." But NO! I produced NO milk from them to feed my babies! I got "milk Fever" but not a drop of milk for the baby!

My point is....either way...we all have issues with our "girls".

If anyone wants more up top, I will give at least three cup sizes away gladly! Before I have to throw them over my shoulder like a contintial soilder!

Signed,
My-boobs-hang-low

I breastfed my babies with my breasts. I did my job.
Now they are for pleasure. ( okay, before that too)
They are multi taskers, just like women who own them.. they have many purposes.
Not a bnig deal.. breast men, breast women, leg men, etc....
Lets all love the boobage.
Yay for boobies.

I think small sizes are great during the summer when you can walk around with a vest and no bra ( good way to get attention btw ), but once winter hits and I have to cover them up…it is not cool, and I feel so self conscious.
They look minuscule in a sweater

But still I prefer them, I like the model look…even though I’m only 5’4” - but I do have long legs lol don’t know how that works.

My Aqua husband reckons they are the only fleshy parts of me but complains when I sit on his knee because he thinks they're too bony.
"Well, divorce me and marry some woman with the perfect figure, then." I said to him earlier on today. "I'm fed up with your remarks."
"Ooh, can I?" he asked. "Yay!"
"Be my guest!" I said. "Anything to rid me of your negativity."

IrishEyes...that is an amazing story.

I cannot imagine what it would be like to let my "girls" roam free in public. No bra in the summer? Holy Cow! I bet that feels amazing!
