Why do most guys prefer smaller areolas?

Question

I mean, I get why certain things are prefered.
Big breasts are prefered because guys have flat chests, so they seem more feminine.
Small intended hourglass waist is prefered, because guys don't have such waistline, so small waistline is feminine
Guys have big hands - so they prefer small, feminine hands, and so on.

But areolas don't match that rule. Men have small areolas, so big ones should be prefered, as they are more feminine, but most men prefer smaller ones on women.
Any idea why is that?

>Big breasts are preferred because guys have flat chests
No, not really. Big breasts = more milk = higher chance offspring survives, or at least that's caveman thinking.

>Small, intended [indented?] hourglass waist is preferred because guys don't have such [a] waistline
Not quite true. Wearing corsets can and will cause guys to develop an hourglass figure. Check out late medieval Italian armour for great examples. Normally a small waistline brings out the hips more, with the caveman thinking going that wide hips are better for child-bearing and therefore desirable in a partner.

As for small hands you may be right, I don't know. If course, I don't know any of these (other than that corsets cause a small waits) for absolute certain, someone who is well versed in these matters will surely know better. Nonetheless, I doubt it is merely opposing male and female which gives us a complete understanding.

I do not know why other men prefer small areolas. The reason I do is because my brain registers large aerolas as imperfect or wrong, most likely based on exposure, and therefore dislikes them strongly.

Not all guys prefer big boobs. About 25% of guys prefer small boobs and 50% have no preference. Only about 25% actually prefer big boobs.

I prefer smaller boobs (32A-34B) and smaller areolas look very dainty and feminine to me.

Guys seem to like my areola and they are quit large. unless I've been lied to numerous times.(which I have on many other subjects) So I'm not sure why they do.

Honestly I don't really care, though to be fair I'm more of an ass man. One of my exes had tiny ones one had saucer sized ones, both were sexy.

Well girls who have big breasts also tend to have big areolas, didn't they?

"Guys have big hands - so they prefer small, feminine hands, and so on." That's not so for a variety of reasons.

I always wondered myself why I like medium to small on that. So I developed a bs theory: I think that those that genetically have smaller mouths tend to be attracted to the smaller areola in mating since the young offspring are supposed to fit the whole thing in their mouths. lol BUT, I have also noticed that the women with the small ones can sometimes orgasm by those little ones alone without touching the vulv. I have xxxl hands and I have been with girls that more than filled them with their natural boobs and they had huge areolas. They were not a turn-off by any means but they didn't generate the mutual sexual excitement that the little ones do.

Why do I prefer cabbage to cauliflower?  No accounting for such preferences. They just are.

Men's areolas vary in size just like women's do. I've never heard guys I've known make negative comments about larger size areolas on girls. And it certainly doesn't matter to me if they're smaller or larger or somewhere in between. There's a very wide range of normal.

big areolas makes the boobs whether big, average or small look less attractive and can be a turn off for some guys also...

Yeah this is a pretty interesting question. I myself am attracted to most things feminine because they are feminine. However I prefer small areolas but still larger than that of a man. I'm sorry I can't tell you why, I just do.
