[HPFGU-OTChatter] Corsetry Complaints, Bosomy Burblings & looks in life

[Mary Jennings]

Snip Tabouli lamenting about her small-but-perkies:

>The wise and masterly Gulplum:
> > *ahem*. No disrespect intended, but...
>Not "all", if you please. "Most", definitely, but by no means "all"
>(unless this is another cultural difference between each side of the
>Atlantic?).<

>(But wait, cries Tabouli, there is still hope!)
>
>Actually, at risk of being accused of vested interest here, Gulplum has a 
>point.  Being of the A cup persuasion myself, there *are* men who like 'em 
>small hiding out there and forming support groups.  In Asia, where busty 
>women are rarer, I met many who said (quoting their rude remarks with 
>apologies to my busty sisters) that they found the huge breasts (read 
>bigger than a C cup) they'd seen on white women crass and off-putting.  One 
>described them as "bovine".  You mean, white men *like* them like that?  
>EWW!  They seemed much more interested in a pretty face, 'femininity' and 
>slenderness than breasts.

:::::Mary Ann looks down at her DD's (not a difficult task), which swelled 
to F's when breastfeeding.  A small but audible "moo" escapes from her 
lips:::::

And let us not forget King Henry VIII, who, despite being of the larger 
persuasion himself, was unable to "perform" on his wedding night with Anne 
of Cleeves (wife #4, I think) because her large breasts turned him off 
completely.  He was a small-and-perky lover himself.

>Even among men raised in a big breast culture I have known have expressed 
>dissent.  My own brother (who would never let sparing my feelings influence 
>his remarks) had a very busty girlfriend once, and said after the initial 
>novelty they didn't do it for him at all; he preferred small, shapely and 
>perky any day, a sentiment echoed by a small but strident minority of men 
>I've known.  A lot of these men seem to be on the slender side themselves, 
>and perhaps prefer their women dainty all over.  Small breasts have their 
>perks (!).

Having done informal surveys such as this myself (sinister social scientists 
unite!) I have found the same results amongst male heterosexual friends of 
European origins.  Some like 'em perky, some like 'em big, though in my 
experience it was the bigger men who prefered the more petite women.  As a 
point of interest, my DH is small and slim-framed, whereas I'm, well, 
bovine-ish.

>Let's call a truce, eh? (says Tabouli, alone facing an army of buxom 
>Goliaths with a stone in her padded bra).  In the leg department, the media 
>is unequivocal.  Long is definitely the go.  In the breast department, 
>however, the ideal, outside men's magazines and porn movies, seems to be 
>slim with a perky C-D or so, and clothing is manufactured accordingly.  
>Women at *both* ends of the scale suffer for this.

I wish to point out that, especially after pregnancy and breastfeeding, the 
terms "perky" and "D-cup" cannot be used in the same sentence :::::looks 
down at her bruised knees::::

>Ah well.  Despite my whinging, I don't really lose sleep over my body these 
>days.  (It's healthy.  It's in good working order).  All the same, I'm 
>always intrigued to hear about how the way people look affects their lives. 
>  All this hogwash about "it's what's inside that counts"... ha, since 
>when.  Maybe "it's what's inside that SHOULD count", but that's a *very* 
>different thing.

Hear, hear!  Also, may I add that the few males I know who have had close 
encounters with enhanced breasts have *hated* them.  "Gravity-defying 
boulders" is one term I particulary remember.  And Tabouli, with your small 
frame and stature, if you had my mammories, you'd keep falling forward!  
Mother Nature usually knows what she's doing in the proportion department.

>What say ye?  How have your looks affected your life (outside the clothing 
>domain)?

*You* try standing at a bar when you're 5'2" with DD cleavage.  Amazing how 
all the hetero guys "need" to lean over me and look down for some reason or 
another.  Of course, they're forgetting where my elbows are in relation to 
their whatsits.
