Do girls really have breast envy sometimes? If so why does it matter to you?

Question

Girls why does another girl having bigger boobs or your boobs being bigger than her's matter?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I am hardly ever jealous of someone with bigger breasts. I mean mine are small, but I'm 5"1 so any bigger would just make my body seem out of proportion. Next to that, bigger boobs only add trouble: backpain, uncomfortable when running, they can sag drastically and next to that you could have boobs that are not even the same size. Mine have a pretty shape right now so I'm satisfied. Also, you get the attention from the wrong men (there literally have been studies that show that all men expressing sexist opinions preferred/only were interested in big boobs..). I also have a friend with really big breasts, and the things some guys say about her is really disgusting. She can't also wear some clothing because her boobs kind of ruin it :/. Next to that, I have no problem with getting male attention (this sounds so cocky but most women are jealous because of this aspect so I kinda feel like it should be mentioned). The only thing I could envy is that they can very easily create cleavage which can make a certain dress or something suit better.

So no, I do not have breast envy of other women. There are definitely many women who are jealous of bigger breasts (I mean, otherwise boob jobs wouldn't be so common) and that is okay, harldy anyone thinks they are perfect - I just hope for those that they still feel confident with how their body is :). And for women with big breast do not see this as a kind of insult or anything, it is just my opinion - big breasts certainly do look good on some but for me the trouble that comes with it just isn't worth it. My friends with big breasts can rock some type of clothing/lingerie that I can't so every side has its benefits/disadvantages :)

Well, I was going to say 'You're a guy, you should know'. But it's along those lines. Girls want bigger because most men are sexually aroused by bigger meaning better, just like big hips or buttocks. So to most insecure girls, if they see another girl who has bigger breast than hers, as most girls on here have said which is the truth, her sexual value of male attention [lusting] goes up. I never had that issue. I would have liked it if I stayed a small C. But I ended up on the average/big side which is due to genetics on my mom's side. If girls were never told men love women with big breast, no woman on the planet, as I guarantee you would ever have such insecurities. Though I never thought about 'male attention' as a child. I only wanted bigger because I figured it what associates you as a woman. I prayed for it. Now I regret it. My petite body can only handle but so much. :(

Short version: the media

Long version: Well since the media always puts emphasis on big breasted women, young girls see this as a necessary part of being beautiful. When they grow up and then fall short, they wish that they had bigger boobs like the other girls (not necessarily always bigger, but there is a certain size that is considered ideal, so they might want to be smaller to match).
When a girl has bigger boobs, it makes her feel closer to the ideal image the media wants women to look like, so they feel a sense of pride that they are 'better' then other girls in this regard.

So long bigger boobs, wide hips, and big butts are associated with femininity, women without these features would feel "inadequate".

Just as small-dick, short, or beardless guys feel less masculine in the eyes of women. some men feel "inadequate" in the eyes of women if they can't provide for their family. In certain cultures, a woman who can't give birth due to no fault of hers is seen as less feminine.

The source of these perceived inadequacies is social construct, which is the notion that humans create labels and give meanings to them. Labels and meanings are passed on from one generation to another.

Each generation fails to question the veracity of social constructs. Even more, pop cultural products like music, music clips, TV shows, magazines, etc. idealised standards of femininity and masculinity.

Even you and I promote idealised femininity and masculinity. For example, you've heard statements like "be a man" directed to a guy. What does that even mean? Or you stare at a couple of whom the guy is shoulder-height to the girlfriend as if it is an anomaly.

My guess is it is because the girls with bigger curves attract guys attention and the "flatter" girls know it. Girls are posessive, controlling (of a male) and want to be desired. The busty girls are drawing the attention of the guys, so it is competition for reproduction, love, fulfillment in life.

Pudgify · Answer

Shopping for clothes. YES! Maybe a few sizes smaller to fit a little cute dress better.
Most times no.
Being large bust is a pain in the ass. Well back really. Some days I think of having a breast reduction, others I just go with the flow.
AUS 16dd bust (although I admit I haven't been resized in nearly 12 months and my current bras are tight so I don't wear the underwire ones), my waist is size 12 and hips are size 14. I'm 163cm tall.
To me I'm out of proportion. Jogging hurts. Don't get me started on running.

annabelle1995 · Answer

It doesn't matter at all, some "problems" only exist in your head, "rule your mind or it will rule you".
I never cared about my boob size, until others started saying something about it.. some women that don't like a certain part of their body, project those negative thoughts on to you, they try to make you feel crappy about your body. being a teenager i took mean comments close to my heart. now i am older, much wiser and boob size doesn't mean anything to me, it has to be the least of anyone's "problems".
I love my body, I love the size of my boobs, they aren't big, but they have a beautiful shape and my boyfriend adores everything about me, not only my body but my soul too.
Mostly women feel envious of big boobs because the society says "the bigger the better" and that men love big boobs and only big boobs. That's bullshit. good business marketing for plastic surgery :D
just be confident in who you are, there's nothing sexier than that ;)

RaeSheBae · Answer

Yes because I think that cleavages are so sexy!! If I wear I push-up bra it also looks very cute but I have to force my little clementines together.
I just wanted medium sized breasts enough to be noticeable lol
I'm still growing so maybe they'll grow I still have hope :D

littleheartbigbooty · Answer

I have a somewhat bigger 32A so I spent a lot of time hating them and wishing them to be bigger, I still do a bit but I realized that I can't change it so I just accept it now.
It mattered to me cause guys, mostly in middle school and first two years of high school, used to tease me and make fun of me a lot. I hated my boobs cause they made me hate them.

MindYourEyes · Answer

I do not. Never have XD! If anything I think I'm middle school my boobs were a lot bigger because I was chubbier. And a lot of people would stare and tease about them XD. I hated it! Now all the weight loss n training my boobs are so much smaller and I like them like that! Plus most cute shirts go nicely with smaller boobs then large ones making it look like they are purposely displayed all sexual xD. Small boobs rock!

Bananaqueen1 · Answer

I have small breasts, A34 to be exact, and at first it used to bother me because, at least i could make em look nicer when I'm wearing clothes, but in a swimsuit i felt not so attractive. But then i saw small breasts on other girls and thought it looked better than huge watermelons. So i like mine now. and will not get breast implants.

mikimouse13 · Answer

My chest is really small, and lets face it; guys are attracted to big boobs. I feel awkward and self conscious about it, at least.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, some girls do experience breast envy, and its usually because boys talk about how bigger boobs are better, so girls who are small or flat chested feel like she's not what guys want
(of course, there are also women with larger boobs that wish theirs were smaller because they are experiencing the physical effects of having large boobs)

asheslee · Answer

I think this is one of those "the grass is always greener" things. Before I had kids, I had fairly small boobs (smaller side of B cup). I looked at women with large breast and thought about how they were lucky. Now, I have larger boobs (very full C) and I remember how I could wear super cute clothes and not look inappropriate and how super perky my small boobs were. LOL. It is sort of like how people with curly hair feel about people with straight hair.

LifeIsStrange13 · Answer

I'm just hard on myself in general. I always appreciate other women's beauty and the hard work they put in to look good. However I look at my own body and think I need to push harder!
I always think I look fat no matter what, and I do think oh wow look she has big boobs, a flat stomach and toned ass.
My bust is tiny and I hate it 😣

whitedahlia · Answer

Sometimes I do. When I see a woman with my ideal size, I wish I could have what she has - but it's not something I dwell on. I'm a 34A and I'm not self-conscious about it either, never have been. It's just a thought that passes through my head, "Gee, I wonder what being a C cup is like."

cross98 · Answer

nah, big boobs are genetic in our inner family. i got decent sized boobs (size c), my mom has dd, and my grandma has a c like i do but my sister is a little smaller. however when it comes to what men want we realize the only way to keep his attention is if he likes you regardless of your boob size etc.

Acool · Answer

I have Double D's and i envy my friends with cute little perky boobs and can wear all those bralette lacy things. Im stuck with one grandma bra to hold these suckers in. Boobs actually suck, just give me a Kim K ass!

fenixx0083 · Answer

You know how some guys wish their dick was bigger because they believe girls prefer bigger... because some of them do? I would *guess* the boob thing is about the same... Not all guys are into bigger boobs, but a lot of them are, and who doesn't want to be wanted? If people would all realize that there really is someone out there for everyone, then all this shit would go away... ... s/he just isn't going to be a model or whatever, that's all... ... step away from the tv/magazines/internet/artificiality and go meet some people irl, you'll find somebody with something you like, promise.

kaylaS91 · Answer

Nope, I never envy women who have bigger breasts than myself. I'm perfectly happy with the size of mine and wouldn't want them any smaller/bigger than they already are. :)

sagigurrl3 · Answer

It was more back in high school... a guy I liked always made comments about how my boobs were small and the girl he was dating had bigger boobs... I was very self conscious in high school & was jealous of girls with bigger boobs.

Now, I wish mine were still a little bigger, but I don't envy anyone anymore and I have come to accept my body.

estoydorado1 · Answer

Sometimes I wish my boobs were a bit smaller. I could be wearing a modest outfit and guys will still stare at my chest. I almost always have cleavage too unless I wear something with a neck that starts at the base of my throat and sometimes the weight is just annoying.

BuchitaBuchys · Answer

Yes. And it's because we want men. And more men (please don't give me that but not all men! Crap, I'm well aware that not all, I'm just saying it's easier to find a man who likes big boobs as opposed to small) prefer big boobs.
If I found a guy who genuinely liked mine and was excited to take my shirt off, I probably wouldn't care that much.

But I am a fan of cleavage and you can't really get that with small boobs :/

Anonymous · Answer

I love mine. I get to play with all the others I like. Every titty is sexy and unique. Even dudes nipples are fun.

When I was in Junior High there was this girl at the end of the block who like to tell me all the time that her breasts were bigger than mine. Mine were plenty big and I would just look at her and cock my head "Like, who cares? It's not a competition and you're not even allowed to date yet so WTF does it matter?"

Anonymous · Answer

personally, my boob's are a double d and I would prefer for them to be slightly smaller and maybe even a little perky

itsallover · Answer

I'm perfectly fine with mine. If they were any bigger they'd look really disproportionate on my frame.

Poppykate · Answer

Right up until I was 19, I was like 30A. And really wanted boobs! Now I have 34E and love them!

vishna · Answer

Full medium to large sized breast are nice to me and a lot of people, so the "omg, her boobs are perf" feeling isn't really gonna make me feel bad about mine *b/c I have great breasts* it's just like admiration :) and it makes me wanna rock mine more (cleavage and such)

Blonde401 · Answer

I did as a teenager as an A cup. Now I have 34D's I'm totally happy with my breasts and really comfortable with them. I get leg envy instead 😂

LuCifina · Answer

When a guy I'm interested in says he likes a girl with different sized boobs than mine, I feel envious for a moment then I don't worry about it anymore.

k_t_me · Answer

its kinda the same as with dicks, like guys are so insecure about dick size , even the ones who are well hung down there tend to be insecure, its all because its HUMAN NATURE to envy what others have , like really, take any body part any freaking body part and you can find people envying about it , we just can't help but envy so yeah , its human nature and personally to me, it doesn't really matter if a girl has big boobs or she is falt chested , as i think is important is that she should have a personality and a charater and if she is cute, i won't really mind that😅😅

Anonymous · Answer

There is 2 things that make the world go around they are money and sex. Boobs are the easiest and the common sense way to get the engine running, legs can work to an extent but I don't have such a great view of them while making out. Also a nice rack helps with employment opportunities getting out of speeding tickets getting tipped and in general women love the attention. There are ways if you don't have a rack but they are not as easy or socially acceptable. On the upside a small rack means that you really are a female and not a tranny.

sweetlivy · Answer

I did, when I was a little flat-chested 10 year old and my peers had big boobs. I grew small ones the same year. But they never got any bigger than that until I was 11-12 and didn't grow much since. 😂

oboeyoudidnt · Answer

I used to, but now I'm more secure in myself since my tits grew.

lyannamormont · Answer

I have small boobs. 32B. Idc about that. I love myself. And big boobs look disgusting.

helva · Answer

I was the first in my class who had some kind of breast buds when I was 11. But they stopped to grow when I was 13 and I envied the girls who had a B or C at that time. They had something to show and I was trying to hide my small ones.

The only problem I have now is that looking for a pleasant bikini top or T-shirt I have to go to rather expensive shops but I don't envy anymore.

saya93 · Answer

I mostly envy girls with bigger boobs because its just sexier to me. Mine are ok but if i could get a boob job i would. Im jealous when girls have cleavage too plus guys always seem to like girls with bigger boobs so why wouldn't i want them too?

Little_Too_Late · Answer

The thing is, men like big breasts. Now I'm not saying they wouldn't like small breasts and I'm not saying that some men don't like them a lot, but men appreciate big breasts. Even I like them. But I have small breasts and I wish I had bigger ones.

writing_essays · Answer

I refuse to treat myself like a sex object - some people look better then me and other people look worse than me - both are equally important in my book.

Wonderer89 · Answer

Sometimes... occasionally I wish mine were smaller so I could go braless and wear backless tops and dresses. I'm still grateful for my body though so it doesn't last long 😊

ErinTheConquerer · Answer

Mine are 36GG. They are troublesome when doing sports but my boyfriend loves them and i love them so I wouldn't trade them for anything

jessiesgirl2017 · Answer

I'm rather small, so I don't get much pain like girls with larger boobs, but sometimes it's very difficult to find some proper fitting tops or dresses to stay up when my boobs aren't large enough so I envy other girls only for that.

Anonymous · Answer

I'll just sit in a corner with my 2 mosquito bites. 😔

purplesparkle · Answer

All the time. Why? Because most people consider bigger breasts more feminine and attractive.

Jemini_Crocket · Answer

Never really envied. I'm ok with my size, the shape not so much but usually I'm just wondering how theirs look and if they're the same strange shape as mine. lol

ketfoen · Answer

i have dick envy, so i never stare at other guys junk, because then I would find my smaller and insignificant. sighs. It seems by the results that it goes pretty similar for girls too, very interesting.

John_Doesnt · Answer

Men have breast envy too. We wish our girlfriend or wife had those boobs.

shatteredclouds15 · Answer

the real question is why do you guys care about boobs and butts so much?

frustratedhw · Answer

I have 42 DD, they are a talking point, and a pain in the ass when trying find sexy bras... the only envy I have is when my smaller busted friends can score sexy bras and fun bikinis...

natured · Answer

No, my dongs are fine...

beccaboo2 · Answer

I definitely feel the envy sometimes. When I was a really skinny 13yr old, I was a 32B. 7 years and 50lbs later, I'm still a 32B 😞

ambertaylor · Answer

No I don't care, I have average size boobs but had huge boobs after I had my son which made me appreciate my normal size!

ahishag · Answer

umm it's more of a societal thing than personal. Like why do guys have penis size envy? because apparently it's a general opinion that girls like big dicks. Similarly for girls, it might exist only because big boobs are appreciated in the society.
Otherwise I don't think any envy would exist. Infact for both genders, problems do exist for guys with big dicks and girls with big boobs.

AUTiger7222 · Answer

I'm a guy who thinks there's a point where they are too big and it actually becomes a turn off for me. I'd rather them be slightly on the smaller side (size B).

Anonymous · Answer

Lmao every time there is a question posted like this, it reminds me of my girlfriend and how many "friends" she's gone through because they can't handle her looking better than them. Yes, she has big breasts.

But I think it has to do with prettier girls with big breasts. If you look like Yoda and have bigger tits then girls don't mind.

JadeTea · Answer

sometimes it's a way to compliment on it without being direct about it. I've had several comments like these both for hair, breasts, and sometimes but rarely my clothes.

Simple, girls with nice tits have way more value to guys.

I'm not jealous of like really big boobs because those just seem uncomfortable. I'm kind of jealous sometimes if a girl's look better than mine (perkier, etc.)

HollieHol · Answer

I don't care about that. Never met anyone who does..

For me, it's more body envy as opposed to boob envy.

I like small boobs: they look average! What I hate about big boobs, after few years, the girl looks like grandma 👵! However, a nice butt is awesome! 😂

This is legit. I have access to my twin sister's social media (she doesn't know) and I saw this group of hers and a bunch of other girl's making fun of another girl, just because she had better boobs.

SteppingOnRoses · Answer

I like my small boobs just fine. In fact I think i now prefer to have them smaller than bigger.

To be honest sometimes I wish I was close to flat chested because I could wear those lovely backless dresses and not need a bra.
