That's what I keep telling my wife. Of all things, she's insecure about her breasts, and wishes they were larger. But they fit my hands perfectly, and I can think of no better criterion on which to judge whether they are too big, too small, or just right.

I have known many women that feel the same way. I have also told many of them that there are many men who LIKE that. Doesn't seem to matter... unfortunately.

Well Lizzie, there are a lot of studies out there that claim Barbie dolls do influence adolescent development and though a young child doesn't realize it, studies claim it affects a young girl later on. There's a book listed on Amazon called Developmental Psychology that dedicates and entire chapter to the negative effects of Barbie dolls on young ladies. I don't know if you can access it online or maybe there are write-ups on it posted on the web. But there are a growing number of professionals that seem to think there is a connection between Barbie dolls and some pretty bad consequences from low self esteem to extreme behaviors to obtain a thin body, cosmetic surgery in young women. All I'm suggesting is give Barbie big enough feet that could handle her 6' body in real life because those size 3's would force her to crawl around on all fours unable to support herself and have her portrayed at 160 pounds which is the ideal weight for a 6' woman. She would still be quite attractive and realistically proportionate. Combine that with all the careers Barbie now dresses for breaking the plastic ceiling for women and Matell would have a home run.

In reality, I seriously doubt most young girls think one way or another anything regarding Barbie's body image. It's just a doll and they're fantasizing what they like to grow up to.

It's basically the same thing we guys do with our penis size.

The simple fact of the matter is that you don't have to have a 10 inch schlong to please most women. By all accounts, a lot of them actually find that kind of thing to be more painful than pleasurable anyway.

However, the commonly held belief that, unless you've got a member so large that you're basically giving women routine episiotomies with it every time you have intercourse, you're not really a "full man" still endures either way regardless. I frankly think this has more to do with competition with one's own gender than anything else.

Men and women aren't really concerned about having assets large enough to please sexual partners so much as they care about having assets large enough to make them feel superior to competing members of their own gender.

I have to disagree with you here. Penises are not being enlarged to unnatural proportions on a regular basis and they aren't normally "out there" for people to see.

Also I have to say that I think women get breast implants for MEN and not other women.

Being visible also isn't really relevant here, as I was talking more about self-perception anyway. My point was that men and women alike place far more importance on these physical attributes of their bodies than the opposite sex ever has, or likely ever will.

It's hard to say, really. Again, I can tell you for a fact that most guys don't really care one way or the other.

Most of the time, women are getting the procedure done to boost their own ego and self-esteem more than anything else. In doing so, they are basing their judgments of what looks "sexy" off of a body image that is formed by comparing themselves to other women, rather than what men actually desire in the majority of cases.

I never had any awareness of penis-size issues until that point in the rise of the Information Age, where email spam started to become common, and a large staple of it was products that claimed to be able to enlarge one's penis, accompanied by text aimed at convincing the reader that his penis was too small, and that he'd be happier or more manly or whatever if it was larger. I've never believed any of it.

And of course, once I was married, and there is now a place for my penis to fit, it is clear to me that it is exactly the right size; and that in no way could my life be improved in the least by it being any other size than it is. I'm sure this is equally true of nearly all other men.

I imagine there is now a whole younger generation of boys who have yet to gain any familiarity with the intimate parts of an actual woman, who have been led to believe that they would he happier if their penises were larger, and who are completely oblivious to the fact that if their penises were the size they wish them to be, that they would simply not fit where, later in their lives, they will want them to fit. They will probably buy these foolish products, and it will be fortunate for them that these products will fail to work as advertised.

Most men don't care? You MUST be joking! Obviously you have never heard men talk or watch them GAWK at women with giant boobies. :roll:

You and the people who liked your post are NAIVE!

There are (or at least were—it occurs to me that it's been a long time since I've seen them mentioned in any email spam, perhaps due to better spam filtering) products which claim to do just that. Fortunately for any foolish enough to buy these products, I doubt if they have any effect at all.

I said that it does not happen to the same degree as breast implants. Breast implants are the norm in LA. Most women get them.

There are boob men, and there are ass men, Chris. Not all of us are the same.

I'm sure there are some women out there who will only ever be pleased by enormous novelty sized mandingo dicks as well. :lol:

However, the fact of the matter here is that, for most people, it's really not all that big of a deal. Most men are just fine with their partner's chest size, and most women are just fine with their partner's penis size.

There's really no need to obsess over either.

That's just wrong. Men obsess over breasts. If you say they don't, then you are in denial and just plain being argumentative. :lol:

It's surely a matter of personal taste. I'll admit it. I am a man, and I love breasts. But size doesn't really do it for me. I'd much rather look at a woman who is attractive, and has breasts of a realistic proportion relative to the rest of her, than an otherwise similar woman whose breasts are disproportionately large. Too large, and they just look freakish and unnatural.

No, they really don't care, for the most part. They like to look at them, and they like to fantasize, but when it comes to real relationships with real women, breast size just isn't that big a deal to most men I've ever talked to about it. In fact, I don't think I recall a single man ever telling me that it was a big deal. The good old rule of thumb is, "a handful is enough". ;)

Okay, that's nice, but you and Gathomas are in the minority sorry to say. Most men prefer big breasts over small ones. Take a poll. I dare you! :2razz:

Too broad a brush no matter how you're trying to paint us. One man is different than another man.

In any event, I think a man is better qualified than a woman to state what men like, or what men obsess over.

Of course they wouldn't tell you that! LOL! They aren't stupid. All you have to do is observe them when they think you aren't watching, and it's QUITE obvious.

Some men do. Some men do not.

Frankly, even if some men do obsess over breasts, that doesn't mean that they necessarily want giant fake breasts either.

I've actually had a pair of (obviously fake) "Double Ds" shoved in my face before, and not felt any real sense of arousal from it whatsoever. I was much more interested in what she had on the other end, and I felt that the disproportionately large breasts only served to detract from the whole by making her figure look unnatural anyway. :shrug:

We prefer healthy looking and proportionate breasts. Therein lies the difference. ;)

Actually, yes, most of the men I know would tell me that. Your observation that they observe is exactly what I was talking about. Fantasies and looking.

You're talking about yourself. I'm talking about men in general. Start a poll. I guarantee you that big boobs will be the choice over little boobs. Some men don't even care if the girl is fat, as long as she has big boobs. In fact, some men prefer fat women because they are more likely to have big boobs.
