Why are women so concerned with their breast size?

Women go on and on and on about how guys only like women with large or perfect breasts. And then in the same breath, you'll hear them say that penis size doesn't matter. If ANYTHING mattered, you'd think it would be penis size. That sh*t's used for sex, boobs are not. If ANYONE has something to be insecure about, it should be us dudes, but it seems like you're the ones constantly obsessing. Why is that?

  • I think because society and media presents a woman a certain way, and then oridinary men expect all women to look a particular way, and they become obssessed with a "sexy" woman or what a "sexy woman" is presented as in the media.

    Then women start feeling insecure, because no matter how hard they try, men are never happy with women, they always have all these expectations off women, that women in the end can't live up to. And breast size plays a big part, as men often go on about it and start acting shallow and superficial choosing bigger breasted and often lesser intelligent women over smaller breasted more intelligent women who are nice too

    • I think you're partly right there, but I wonder how much of those "expectations" that guys have are ones that you're expecting them to have, instead of ones that they actually have. I'm sure there's guys out there that do only go for certain types of women, but I don't think most of us limit ourselves so much.

    • Well, when girls hear how guys talk about girls, from that they deduce when mens' expectations lie so I don't think girls are expecting men to have those expectation off them for no valid apparent reason.

  • Well most guys I've heard talk about something on a woman that they like. And boobs are one of them. It is just known that some like a big chest and some like a small one. For one thing they are always staring at them. lol And boobs aren't used for sex? Really? I thought so. :-)

    Its not that women are downplaying how a man might feel insecure. We just feel that if a man has a certain preference and if we are not like that, then we feel insecure. We want to feel wanted and sexy. I think some women do put too much into that though. I don't guys are as concerned as we think they are.

    • They're often used during sex, but they're not a part of it. The thing is though, for guys, those preferences aren't rules. They can easily be swayed, bent, and even broken, and frequently are. A guy might prefer that a woman have attribute A over attribute C, but it's not really that important to us. Women can say that about penis size, and somehow we accept it, but I know girls who are convinced that they're inferior because of X or Y, and they won't listen to anyone who says otherwise.

    • Yep. Some girls will not be convinced. Its just ingrained in us from the time we were young that a certain thing is sexy. If your self-esteem is not the best then it is hard to break that.

  • When girls hear guys say they like thin girls, they think: link

    When girls hear guys say they like big butts, they think:

    When girls hear guys say they like big boobs, they think:

    It's always extremes in a females mind, so then it's justification for feeling insecure.

    • girls are nutty

    • She has a nice ass.

    • I guess that makes sense.

  • Guys are MUCH guiltier of being concerned with their penis sizes than girls are of being concerned with their breast size...

    and like how most girls would say that they "don't care about penis size", I myself would say that breast size means almost nothing to me.

  • You're wrong bud. No gender should have to feel insecure because of their body. The most important thing is to love ourselves and our body for how it is.

    • Man, I'm not saying that anyone should have to feel insecure. I'm saying that when you're talking about things that people might have insecurities over, logically men should have more to worry about than women. It's theoretical, and unfortunately, a lot of people do have those insecurities. Optimally, yeah. Everyone would feel the way you think they should.

  • "Why are women so concerned with their breast size?"

    I don't know, really. Only girls with low self-esteem would define themselves by something as silly as a cup size. Same thing for men, don't let your penis size define your value as a human being. Its just stupid.

  • Media and the behavior of some guys. Walk into a lingerie store and ask for a 32A... sometimes they don't even carry it! Every fashion magazine has sections on how to make your bust look more appealing. Even when buying shirts and dresses, the busts are often too large. The media mainly shows women with larger breasts. And then you get some guys that make insensitive comments. It can make a girl insecure.

  • Cause guys like big booba

    • That's true, but we're not exactly opposed to small ones either. My preference is around a B, but I'm not going to complain either way.

  • Well (as far as I know) it's more common that guys walk around talking about breast, all the time. "it's a guy thing"

    So that makes us very self conscious.

    It's not like women talk openly about the penis size and such.

    Breasts are a very visible thing on the body, just like the butt. Mostly guys have a preference, and even though girls can have that as well, we can still enjoy another size, in another way than guys can enjoy another size.

    • I haven't known a guy that spoke about boobs in that fashion since I was a git. I don't really understand what you mean by "enjoy another size".

    • Maybe I'm thinking that because of my age.. Well I meant was, that even though one size is good, then another size can feel good as well

    • I've never met a guy who was all about one size of boobs. We're generally just happy we're getting to play with them, whether they're A's or D's.

  • Have you seen a guy when a big boobs girl passes by? They follow her like puppies. Even if you are next to them. That makes us feel really insecure. ( I have big boobs, but that has happened to me)

    • Well, that's just crass. Though to be honest, I like nice butts, and I tend to look at the ones that I notice if I can manage to do so without being obvious.

  • Why are guys so concerned with their pecker size or why are guys so concerned that girls are so concerned with their breast size?

    • I don't know why anyone would be concerned with the size of their penis. It's not like you can do anything about it. And I'm a little concerned about girls who are concerned with their breast size, because it happens to affect me in a fashion.

    • Explain how that affects you. And I must say that people have insecurities. It comes from parenting and the media. It cannot be stopped in a macro basis but if you have your own children then you can be careful with them and instill confidence in the mind and body.
