Do you think getting breast implants seems like a waste of money?

Superb Opinion

  • Beside deformation cases to fix (I remember a girl who did it because one breast did grow and the other never grew), conceptually it's not a waste of money, because if a woman wants to spend such money then it means she feels it worthy and necessary, so it's subjective.
    Also, many men here wouldn't be able to see the difference because some implants are so ergonomic you wouldn't really notice by eye and by hand.
    However, I am judgeful about that and I would recommend against, because:
    1) You want to be more attractive, but by mutilating your body to such degree you're basically "saying" to yourself that the men you want to attract are precisely the ones who would "require" such operation from you and that won't see anything else from you than your body, and that you don't want to be loved for what you have to offer from inside. Do you want to be loved or do you want to be seen as an object? Are you more than your boobs, or are you just boobs? I don't think it's such a loss to not be attractive for such men, you know... You can always select your target and I think this pool of men is the worst if you look for a relationship and not just forever casual sex.
    2) Having breast implants will surely paint you as an insecure and superficial woman for several people. This is not just a piercing but an expensive huge body modification with a large trauma, so if you're so determined to do this sacrifice for a thing like this you don't really look like a woman who is able to accept herself (and so, the others, with all their flaws) or that has something more to offer over than her body. You've the choice to invest money in many things that can improve the life and your "status", but if you choose that one, it speaks. Also, at some point your next boyfriend will get to know you have implants. Personally, if I was a man, it would be turned off to know I'm with a woman with such low self esteem and acceptance because I would see it like a very bad red flag that speaks for many other things. Imagine getting a boyfriend who loves you then repulsing him -because- you have got implants.
    3) You lose a chance to improve other things in yourself to be more attractive that you'd happen to point on if your breasts are saggy or small and you can't make them your strong point, so you'd turn on: hair, makeup, gym, personality and manners, contents and communication skills, culture. Some of these alternate possible things boost your life and give you tools to face the life better, which fake boobs wouldn't give and are a shortcut to avoid working on the rest.
    4) One day you will age and men won't select you for your appearance anymore, because all the rest will worsen and especially older men are probably selecting women for way other things than boobs. There won't be a shortcut for everything...
    5) It increases the quantity of "normalization" of this female genital mutilation among the society and influences too young or too fragile women as well. I think it's not ethical to get implants for appearance anyway.

    • Just because someone modifies their body doesn't mean that they think they have nothing else to offer. When I choose a woman, it's not like tits are the only thing I consider. I think your first point doesn't really make much sense. If you had a micropenis and knew there was a surgery that gave you a regular sized penis, would you consider yourself insecure for getting the surgery? Why can't you accept your micro-willy? I think you seriously should be able to accept yourself on that level and there's absolutely someone out there who would love you and your micro-peepee. You'd probably lose fans as you mentioned, if you got the surgery. But it's up to you to decide. Sometimes the amount and type of people you make yourself eligible for based on the size of your ship is more favorable if you got the surgery? Perhaps you'd enjoy certain benefits? Unlike with men, women get treated palpably different based on looks, and boobs are pretty damn visible and a part of how you look.

    • @224466881010 The fact a woman tries to be seen as "only boobs" is because the operation is very expensive and is also an important mutilation. Not just like making a tattoo or a piercing, or a haircut. So if you decide to do such thing it means you really really perceive your boobs as a very strongly fundamental thing of your whole value and of the things you have to offer, and this is also what it communicates outside afterall... While you don't communicate the same if you just wear cleavage or firm bras, because they're cheap innocuous stuff that don't require a "sacrifice" of that size. Penis is another thing because you don't use penis to make it visible outside to attract women, while you have breast implants in order to be more attractive outside. Penis enlargement (if available) or vag surgery is more like a thing you keep secret and that prevents you from having intimate contacts at all, but small boobs never prevented women from walking around and neither from getting men interested in them as a total number... Also a totally flat chest is extremely rare (the only one I remember was of a trans friend) and most of women who consider surgery aren't "totally flat". Not to mention that when you're 25+ you start understanding through the gravity why having small tits is the perfect size to have, but this is another story... My first point means that you're not rejected by men (not even by the majority) if you have small boobs, because it's not the main thing men select women for (sure young perky milky boobs are amazing stuff), but those who want to date a woman even if she has small boobs are more likely to see more than boobs in a woman, so the others who see boobs as the main dealbreaker are filtered out (a blessing already in my opinion). Why needing to attract the others too, instead, on purpose, with such a sacrifice? Are they so damn worthy? That's pejorative in my opinion...

    • Woah woah woah, nobody wants to be seen as only boobs and it's certainly not a fact that your boobs are a large part of the value a woman offers. However I think that we can agree that breasts have a strong influence on your external attractiveness from a distance. Obviously people have preferences and we will put that aside for now. We will also put aside that it's an expensive procedure. Because expensive is relative, and that's why it's also kind of a status flex. No, your first point literally says that "you're saying to yourself that the men you want to attract are precisely the ones who would require such an operation from you and that won't see anything else from you than your body" which means that a woman who gets breast implants is getting them because they want to comply with the standards of men who solely consider physical appearance. That's just not true. You can love big tits and simultaneously love internal attributes, though for sure there are guys out there who only care about external factors. Normally a girl with small tits would have a much harder time getting on the radar of a man who prefers big tits. It's just a matter of preference. Though I would argue that the bell curve for breast size preference in men isn't very steep (meaning the preference is not very extreme at all and there are plenty of men who prefer small tits), but the average hovers over larger breasts, probably somewhere between B and C cups, because it's a sign of fertility, and that's just an educated guess based on evolutionary psychology. I could be wrong about that. But my overall guess is that by getting breast implants, you most likely increase your pool of potential mates rather than decrease it. I also just think you should be weary of judging these women who get great implants and saying that they all have self esteem issues. Some do for sure, but I think a lot of them don't at all.

  • Not really. I may not prioritize it as the First 10k I spend, but I do think it is a valid purchase and reasonable (albeit depreciating) investment, much like any entry level luxury car, contemporary artwork, boat, or vacation property.

    The following purchases are things that increase quality and experience of life but are not necessarily needed. You CAN wear a push ups everyday, you CAN rent a boat, you CAN rent a vacation home. Of course, having the financial ability to own these things just separates the 'haves' from the 'have nots.'

    Of course, anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit can turn these 'luxuries' into spontaneous passive income.

    The same way you can't guarantee vacationers to book your summer vacation house the whole season, you CAN be more choosy on which friends you let stay there (who in turn let you stay at theirs, unlocking positive experiences), and you CAN have confidence that someone will desire it eventually, assuming routine maintenance.

    With breast implants, you CAN 'unlock' suitors who will notice you, and possible suggest dates (unlocking new experiences and maybe free drinks). With breast implants, you will connect with others who have undergone the same procedure, perhaps gaining access to their hobbies and lifestyles as well.

    Is it the smartest financial move? - unless you're a stripper, actress, model, bartender or someone in the business of direct attractiveness profitability, probably not.

    But can it impact your lifestyle, confidence, and overall quality of life? Definitely.

    • Things and your body are 2 different things lol

    • @paul09 if only you knew two licks about the objectification and commodification rampant in the industry that upholds 'natural beauty' of women and their bodies. Until men value women for a hard earned career and money (the same way that women supposedly value men), then women will continue to 'cash in' their paychecks for the things that do make them attractive, eligible, and noticed (even if it involves cosmetic procedures to increase their physical appearance). Both genders (anyone) can work on their personality. So why not be richer or hotter than the rest of them?

    • Omg did this woman just spit facts? I think she did.

  • I think it's like an expensive car. Is it a waste of money or an asset? Depends how you use it.

    Most people have no need for an expensive car.

    I definitely hear what everyone is saying about learning self acceptance. In my opinion, you absolutely should learn self acceptance first because it's way better. Getting fake tits because you're insecure is worse because you still haven't solved the root issue and you're gonna have a bad time regardless.

    But people let's be real... Fake tits can make business sense in a lot of cases. Someone else pointed out that:
    - As long as people value aesthetics so highly, it can be leveraged.
    - Anybody can self improve. Why not self improve and be 'hotter' than everyone else?

    You'll absolutely lose fans from getting fake tits and there's probably a decent argument to be made about what type of fans you'll lose, but overall you can't deny that being a hot girl opens so many doors and networking opportunities. The multimillionnaires and shot-callers of the world basically treat exceptionally hot women like networking currency. The vast majority of women would rather be rich than poor, so there are some huge dating opportunities right there. That's not even counting the bartender, model, bad bitch in a rap video, hired guns-at-events and similar types of gigs. They pay very well, allow you to meet celebrities/ successful people and are a hell of a lot better than flipping burgers.

    Now imagine this whole world where successful and powerful men are clamoring for your clout and attention and trying to insert themselves into your network, if you actually have even a fucking ounce of ambition. Oh and another thing is that as it stands, hyper-success is still a male-dominated endeavor, so you can imagine how super hot women with a lot of ambition would be received in those types of circles (since usually super hot women don't really have to be ambitious or work hard at all... It's kind of a curse actually).

    The sexual marketplace is more globalized than ever. Saudi princes can have blonde American bombshells flown out to their private villas in the Swiss Alps for a weekend of debauchery and have them gone by the time they return to running their parent's oil dynasty on Monday morning. They can compete with their friends to fuck the ones with the biggest instagram followings. It's a completely separate parallel world. Fake tits seems like a cheap price of admission compared to getting your corporation to multi-billion dollar valuations.

  • This is a great question.
    As a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to all women and especially young women. Do not, I repeat, do not change your breast for vanity purposes. Most men are impartial to breast size, shape and firmness. Men may have a preference, like medium but firm, or large but bell shaped, or small but perky.

    Trust me, in my experience with multiple partners, all of their breast were wonderful. I was not partial to them because they didn't have my preferred size or shape. It's amazing how breast size is a big issue with women, similar to how men make a big issue about penis size. While I am on this topic, as an added bonus, all my partners were very happy with my penis, even though they too had preferences.

    i have a friend who got implants after college and I supported her when she asked for advise. Today, many years later (about 14 years now), she has had medical complications linked to the implants. She now regrets having them. She has been recommended to remove them and replace them but she doesn't want to replace them anymore. All this to say, I think breast implants in most cases is not necessary and is a waste of money.

    Women (girls) choose wisely before you pull the proverbial trigger on this.
    My guess, whoever your partner is or will be, they'll be happy with your bust, or lack thereof. And it they are not, time to move on to someone who is. Cheers!

  • While I do understand that some women with smaller breasts feel insecure about their breast size and desire to feel more sexually attractive to men (or other women, depending on their sexual orientation), I believe that women learning to accept our body for what it is benefits us more in the long run. Instead of risking our health undergoing cosmetic surgery to sustain a form of "beauty" that wouldn't even last long as we age, we should focus on other ways of being sexually appealing to men without going "under the knife." Women could boost their sex appeal by staying in shape, wearing stylish clothes that accentuate their beauty, and behaving in a kind, caring, and loyal manner. Besides, plenty men exist that care little about breast size and even find smaller breasts attractive. In addition, the money spent on expensive surgeries could be utilized for more important things in life, such as investments. Therefore, yes, I do believe that money spent on breast implants or any cosmetic surgery strictly for beauty purposes – and not to correct a problem such as an injury or birth defect – is a waste of money.

  • 95% of the time, YES!

    I get using them in extreme circumstances (a mastectomy or an extreme size mis-match), but in my opinion most of the time they are used to turn fantastic small boobs into awful, odd-looking larger boobs. Far too often, they are made comically big too, which is another kind of turn-off.

  • I think it is entirely up to the woman who wants them and her reason for doing so. I have actually only personally known two women who have ever gotten them. My wife and my first girlfriend that I could actually call her that. Here is the interesting part... both of them got them after they got divorced from their first marriage

    I ean since my first girlfriend was like a size A cup and that was my true experience with a steady girlfriend, I like girls that are not overtly busty. I also believe my wife used to be a size A cup. Both did not go overboard and went with a size C/D cup depending on what band size they used... if that makes any sense.

    Let me put it this way, the first time I saw my wifes boobs... I was speechless... they were perfect and I kept trying to see if I could find the scar. Seriously, natural boobs are rarely symmetrical. Anyway, all I could say was "They are perfect!" I do believe she fell in love with me after that. I have no clue what these others felt when they got intimately involved with them... but I could not tell the difference.

    I have to say that her plastic surgeon could have put Michelangelo to shame in his sheer masterpiece that he created on my wife! She finally showed me where the scar was and talk about hiding something in plain view, it was genius! Granted, I never did get to check out my old girlfriends new additions, but they still look good to me under her clothes.

    The reason they both decided to get implants was the simple fact that after they got divorced, they just wanted to do something to feel better and more confident... as well as rub it in to their ex. Hell, it gave her the confidence to ask me out the first time and seriously what is not to like!

  • It's up to you. Just remember they have about a 10 yr shelf life. Then they will need to be removed or replaced.
    And if your breasts were much smaller to begin with, you'll be left with stretched skin and empty cavities. Then they'll suggest putting new ones in.

    I'm against plastic surgery and non-essential, life-saving surgeries.
    But I get why the biggest actors get work done. Those screens are huge, and everyone likes looking at pretty things.

    • Kind of weird to be against cosmetic surgery with 90% of people get braces

  • Yes, unless they were removed for breast cancer.

  • It depends on how bad you feel without having them. If you feel unhappy and really bad about having small boobs then it may worth it.
    Personally, I have no small boobs, so I've never felt that but I can understand it may be difficult because of the society

  • Yeah. here's the reason:
    I prefer petite and medium sozed boobs.
    I do not like big titties.
    Lol.
    I also dont really care for the scarring or toughing fake tits.
    Not everyone else is like that, though.

    But i think you should do what makes YOU the most happy.
    I wouldn't want you to if you were my partner. But in the end itd be my partners choice.

    Make sense?

  • Absolutely women’s breast are literally perfect at any size. Boobs are boobs bigger or small is guys still like them.

  • 99% of the time it's a waste of money. Men like natural. The only time you should get them is for medical reason.

  • Yes. Fake boobs are purely for show. I'd rather a woman have small, natural breasts than fake ones. Small, perky tits are adorable.

    Implants look fake. They don't move like natural breasts. They hold their fake shape no matter what position a woman is in, whether lying on her back or on her side. They look rigid. And the worst thing is, they usually have gross contours when a woman is leaning over and they are dangling straight down.

    They don't feel natural, either.

    Implants eventually have to be replaced. "On average, today's implants are designed to last more than a decade, with the chance of rupture increasing by one percent each year. So, the older your implants are, the greater your risk of rupture or other complications. In many cases, breast implants can remain in good shape for 20 years or more."
    And there is scaring.

    Finally, there can be a loss of nipple and even breast sensation. "Approximately 15% of women who undergo breast augmentation have a lasting loss of nipple sensation."

    Breast reconstruction makes sense. But I wouldn't get implants just to augment breast size. A surprising number of guys love small boobies, and most guys don't care what size they are as long as they are natural.

  • If I was gunna waste money on my body I'd get Lazer surgery and a tattoo maybe another piercing for my ear, perhaps a couple somewhere else. But the only time I'd consider breast implants is if I had breast cancer and one had to have surgery.

    • I have not great love for tats and piercings, but agree totally about the breast implants. I have already told you that you look fine in that department!

    • It certainly won't be a partner's name that's for sure lol but yeah mine are great

  • I know women that have them due to battles with breast cancer. So it is one of those things that I look at situationally.

  • I have nothing against someone who has had plastic surgery. Its whatever the person wants to feel more confident in themselves. Best to find the best doctor because it's really hard to find a good plastic surgeon nowadays.

  • Big waste of money. Don't put plastic materials in your body, not worth it. Focus on working out and you should be fine. Men prefer a healthier waist to hip ratio over breast implants, so I would say that's where you can start.

  • No. Women who feel bad about themselves need them. Let those women be happy.

  • Unless you're literally flat chested or have very oddly proportioned breasts then it's a waste of money. Also most of the doctors who do this surgery in the U. S. suck at it and the results look terrible.

  • NO.. not remotely , love them.

  • If you look at all the female celebs who got and all the women who want it regardless of their profession it don't seems like a waste to them

  • For me yes 100% waste of money I would rather buy houseplants at least they're real and they look real and they look nice
    The thing about breast implants is it no matter what. They look fake and it changes the character changes the beauty the girl that has them
    I don't know how many times I've seen such a beautiful girl but didn't look down at her breast and you can tell they're fake and I just say why.
    Don't get me wrong I mean I understand why
    I understand it feels confidence it makes the girl happy so do I have to say why not if it makes you happy go for it
    But for me if a girl has a twin sister one girl gets implants the other one doesn't I reject the girl that doesn't have them real is just so much it really is
    Maybe I'm misunderstanding it maybe the reason why the girl gets implants it's not because of what she feels but who she wants to get what caliber of guy. Does she wants in her life. Maybe it's because of the guy that she wants to attract. Be honest I don't know but what I do know is Natural Woman is a beautiful woman

  • You do you, but it is unnecessary for almost everyone. And the worst thing ever is if one can tell where a solid lump of fakeness ends and the real soft wobbly stuff on top of it begins. I would not risk ending up with that on my chest if I were a woman.
