Why do men like big boobs on women?

Asked by BONZO (387points) February 17th, 2009

Are they not just large sacks of fat? For a man they have no real function and I dont understand “titty fu@king”........
I have a friend who stopped dating a girl because she did not have big boobs and I cant quite figure this out, even though I know this is how its always been

@BONZO this question and the subsequent one you asked are quite impressive.

your understanding and concern for the female form is noted and appreciated.

richardhenry's avatar

I disagree, I don’t find more than a handful particularly attractive. It probably wouldn’t affect my dating decisions though.

elchoopanebre's avatar

(Straight) Men like that which distinguishes gender roles. The archetypical female has curves for child-bearing. Natural instincts make you want to breed with the most fit of the opposite sex. If a woman has large hips and big breasts, chances are she’s fertile (thus attractive in a biological sense).

That’s my opinion, anyways.

@eponymoushipster looks like that last one was too good, because its gone…. where did it go? im i not allowed to use the word vagina?

eponymoushipster's avatar

@BONZO well, it was probably removed by the mods for the usage of the phrase relating to “hall ways” and “hot dogs”.

lacked that certain something.

Oh, I see your question regarding vaginas has already been removed, but my suggestion still stands. I think your mother is the best person to ask about that. Was her hallway ever the same after you walked down it?

People have personal preferences. It’s no different than someone having a preference for blue eyes, brown hair, being tall, etc, etc, etc. People just like what they like.

tennesseejac's avatar

As long as they are big enough to give a little jiggle Im good to go, but there is certainly a point for me when they are too big…. I have always liked the saying “more than a handful is too much” and I have smaller hands so Yippee

mrswho's avatar

I would assume (with no scientific backup whatsoever)that large breasts would be better for feeding children, and make the woman a better potential mate.

KingMalefic's avatar

I fall under the small frame appreciation. Mainly cause while I am not tiny but merely average male body stature. I personally enjoy feeling protective of my partner so I kinda prefer a smaller frame (my primal comment)... I say this only cause other then that I am not sure but I prefer smaller boobs. And not to offend anyone in any way its a small preference like Drastic said. I think though more in the media or what we get inundated with is being told what we should be and how we should be and what, some people will get caught up in minor aesthetics.

I much more prefer other then whats mentioned above a person in any gender that is well proportioned.

and as for small boobs, in regards to breast feeding the body does change and grows to compensate. But on an animallistic side i can some what understand the curves of the hips and the large feeding bits.

Kiev749's avatar

we like what we dont have.

La_chica_gomela's avatar

well, somebody had to say it.

eponymoushipster's avatar

really, it answers the question.

La_chica_gomela's avatar

it totally does!

AlfredaPrufrock's avatar

@mrswho, size has nothing to do with breastfeeding abilities.

La_chica_gomela's avatar

@alfreda, I think a lot of men’s primal gut instincts that have nothing to do with reality or their rational thought make the same assumption as mrs.who though, and that’s part of it.

of course there are other parts, like the media, and hyper-feminization (the idea that men don’t have boobs, only women do so the bigger the boobs, the more womanly the woman).

jonsblond's avatar

@AlfredaPrufrock That’s for sure! I could have fed all of Angelina Jolie’s children with my breast milk and I only have handful sized boobies.

DrasticDreamer's avatar

@everyone who said “a handful” of boobs. So what exactly would that be? B? C? The only reason I’m asking is because I used to think Ds were a lot bigger than they actually tend to be.

La_chica_gomela's avatar

yeah, whose hand exactly?

tennesseejac's avatar

my hands fit nicely around a softball or a grapefruit, so thats where Im coming from

timothykinney's avatar

Well, chica_gomela’s are at least as big as grapefruits. But that’s probably TMI. Tee hee.

But I wouldn’t say that my hand fits around one. More like it tries to.

jonsblond's avatar

I’m a B, my husband’s hand fits nicely around that.

btko's avatar

It’s all about proportions.

Johnny_Rambo's avatar

Nice .45 cal. pink nipples are a must, overall boobie size really doesnt matter.

richardhenry's avatar

@Johnny_Rambo I love that a guy with your username measures nipples by calibre.

Johnny_Rambo's avatar

A mans gotta know how much fire power he’s got before going into battle.

cyrusbond's avatar

Personal preference- Ive never liked anything above a D cup. I like the comment about proportions. I totally agree. If you look good with bigger breasts, work em’. Smaller? Roll with that too!

My girlfriend is a C cup, and she looks fantastic in the nude (and yes, she is reading this as I type it, and giggling), so like I said before. Absolutly about the proportions, and how good you look naked. Don’t get too wrapped up in size.

Johnny_Rambo's avatar

No teasing Cyrus, I have’nt seen a good pair since poker night.(:

TaoSan's avatar

aaah duddles, I looove duddles :)

Fun aside though, not too big please. B is fine by me, and C works too.

cyrusbond's avatar

Mmmm…poker. I havnt played a good game in a while. My question is where do you play poker @Johnny_Rambo? Because last games I played, it was scotch and cigs all around, with no boobs, just all guys getting sweaty because they were losing money!

(Didnt mean to tease. Promise!)

saranwrapper's avatar

I’m particularly well endowed and I too don’t understand the appeal. Sure they’re magnificent, but they’re just tits.

tennesseejac's avatar

@saranwrapper just tits? oh, but they are so much more. Have you ever done the motorboat on a nice pair?

saranwrapper's avatar

@tennesseejac hmm I see your point. Motorboating is not nearly as fun with an A-cup

eponymoushipster's avatar

Regarding What is hand size?: i nominate myself as the default ‘hand’ in hand size. If you want to see your “hand size”, just let me know – we’ll measure you. That way we’ll have a fixed unit of measurement.

tennesseejac's avatar

@saranwrapper the smaller the cup the slower the motorboat goes, but I like to give it a go on any size. who doesnt like to go motorboating?

@eponymoushipster yesss! (if any ladies want to have a better chance of being labeled “hand full” I have smaller hands so I want to nominate myself too.)

eponymoushipster's avatar

@tennesseejac we’ll spread it out: i’ll be the main operator, you can be backup.

@saranwrapper mmmmmmotorboating.

tennesseejac's avatar

@eponymoushipster sweet, just send me whatever you can’t handle (Im fairly experienced so this will probably my best job ever, can we compete for “employee of the month”?)

One time I pissed off my gf because I reached my hand up her shirt and just grabbed one of her boobs while we were having a normal conversation in her room…. Is that weird? ...She didnt like that kind of stuff and I knew this, but I just had the urge to grab ahold of one of those puppies

tb1570's avatar

They don’t, atleast not all of us. B or C is fine, even A/B is ok, but most important in shape, ratio and “perkiness.” A smaller set of nicely shaped, perky breasts beats a larger pair of droopers every time, in my book. And if I had to choose between A or D, I’d choose A. But no hairy areolas, please!

elijah's avatar

For me, my Ds are perfect. I don’t think Ds are big anyway. When my boobs were smaller (B and C) I didn’t feel as womanly. I really like soft curviness over thin and hard. I don’t find an athletic build attractive. I think skinny girls can be pretty and stylish but nicole ritchie, ashley olsen, and paris hilton aren’t sexy. There are a lot of small women who I find sexy, they have some body fat.

StellarAirman's avatar

We like them because they are two bags of pure awesome with nipples on top.

onesecondregrets's avatar

I always lol to myself that guys who love big boobs essentially love pure FAT by loving them, because that’s what they are yet most men are not attracted to FAT women. You’ll love sacks of fat but not a human who has a little extra meat on their bones? Psh bewbiez.

StellarAirman's avatar

“How do you make 5 pounds of fat look good? ... Put a nipple on it.”

Johnny_Rambo's avatar

Cyrus: I meant a ” pair ” of aces, gotta be quick !

Johnny_Rambo's avatar

Its all about the nipples girls, we miss our baby bottle, is all.

elijah's avatar

@onesecondregrets a breast, allthough made out of “pure fat” as you say, isn’t the same as having bulging sagging fat rolls off your body. Large breasts do not equal unhealthy women (besides a sore back), but usually obese women do have medical problems.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@tennesseejac that’s assault brother. only if it’s a sexy conversation otherwise no.

TitsMcGhee's avatar

I’m sad now, because so many fluther men have just shot me down boobs wise. I’m a 36 DDD and I feel like I’m very nicely proportioned… It is a little more than just a handful, but I have yet to hear any complaints.

KingMalefic's avatar

@TitsMcGhee : Asmonet says “pfffftsspfffttspfffffts motorboat” with much love and fun

KingMalefic's avatar

I am not against big boobs i prefer proportion but the persons mind is more of any appeal then a body feature.

But still after being semi threatened by my ex a fun “pillow fight” could turn into a scene from Othello and i am the bitch being smothered :-(.

I still lurve you tits :-)

TitsMcGhee's avatar

Haha @KingMalefic, lurve for the Othello reference. Mine aren’t scary big, they are pretty proportionate. I’m 5’7 if that’s any indication.

KingMalefic's avatar

6’2 when i wear heels… wait what

I can barely breath at such heights!

La_chica_gomela's avatar

@TitsMcGhee – where are you buying these “DDD” bras? All the lingerie stores I’ve ever been to went straight from DD to E or D to E…(and I’ve bought a lot of stuff in that range in a lot of stores)

KingMalefic's avatar

I have still been wanting to ask… is there a preference for females for the clasp being in the front…. I might have to ask a new question but seriously it messes with me the back no problem the front its like oh shit well this will take a min… and shes like i got that… and then i feel like a monkey before i had thumbs.

La_chica_gomela's avatar

@KingMalefic – The only front-clasp bras I’ve seen tend to be smaller sizes (C and below). They’re definitely less prevalent in the stores in general. It’s unfortunate…

I don’t know if there’s some structural element that makes manufacturers do it that way, or they’re just dumb. I have a lot of complaints about bra manufacturers, but that’s another story…

KingMalefic's avatar

@la chica gomela : i would love to hear seriously as to why you say unfortunate. is it of more ease for women to put on front clasps then back?

my left hand is wonderful with back clasps but my fingers become befuddle with fronts…

La_chica_gomela's avatar

Yes, it’s easier to put on and take off a front-clasping bra than a back-clasp! Imagine if your pants had the zipper in the back!

(I just re-read your first post, and the first time I thought you were saying front clasps were easier, but now I think you meant you think the back is easier. I think if you used more punctuation, your posts would be more clear.)

TitsMcGhee's avatar

I’ve had guys have trouble with both varieties, so I usually just get it myself. I don’t have any trouble with the hook and eye structure, and the only bras I’ve had with front clasps were before I made it past D.

@La_chica_gomela: I buy them in stores? Department stores have been my best bet, and Frederick’s of Hollywood. If I get any bigger, it will go to an E.

tiffyandthewall's avatar

Are they not just large sacks of fat?
i don’t know why but that brought the lol4rlz.
i think that historically, women with bigger boobs were seen as more capable of raising healthy children, etc, and though that’s not necessarily true today, our bodies haven’t really caught up with the times.
but um. i don’t know, i can’t offer much more insight on this because i’m not a dude. i guess people are just kind of fascinated by what they don’t have?

tennesseejac's avatar

I take pride in my bra undoing skills. I have yet to come across one that has not been conquered in one quick attempt (no matter where the clasp is)

TitsMcGhee's avatar

@tennesseejac: I once agreed to date a guy because he correctly guess my bra size and undid my bra over my shirt in one fluid motion. Left quite the impression.

Johnny_Rambo's avatar

Ugly fat woman at bar with parakeet on her shoulder says ” I’ll fuck any man here who can guess how much this here parakeet weighs, sarcastic man in back yells ” a thousand pounds ”, fat woman says ” close enough buddy, lets go ”.

tennesseejac's avatar

@TitsMcGhee ummm I guess you are a 36 DDD and if you were in just one arms length away your bra would be undone in the blink of an eye…..even if you were wearing a sweater or a coat

Dinner?

Fact from fiction, truth from diction. The deal is NOT ALL MEN LOVE WATERMELON BOOBIES. When it comes to me I would rather have a gal with firm 34 A, B, or C than some 44 DD, or F. It is hard to find a petite woman whose DD are real unless she is woefully overweight and all the rest of her is super sized. When I was younger, and less wise, I bought into that Madison Avenue and media propaganda that bigger boob chics where more sexy. Not all that sexy when hidden under bras (which smaller women with confidence can avoid). Many times if you see size on a slender woman you can almost bet it was an aftermarket enhancement.

TitsMcGhee's avatar

@Hypocrisy_Central: I’m not necessarily “slender”, but I’m not large by any means, and my F’s are 100% natural, thank you very much. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and it’s rather rude of you to go around spouting those kinds of blanket claims.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@TitsMcGhee Fs?!? homina…curves are beautiful.

as for @Hypocrisy_Central, he’s big on the blanket statements and short on the facts. he’s also big on catchphrases that are a bit shit. pay no mind.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

@eponymoushipster And people who are way less on fact, low in tact, and still playing attention instead of ignoring what they don’t like the power, loveing it. ;-)

eponymoushipster's avatar

@Hypocrisy_Central tact is for hostage situations and people who deserve it. learn to spell.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

@eponymoushipster I have you to look and judge that, so you will have your hands busy this dekade oops, better get your spell check! LOL

I prefer mid-sized Boobies
