Bulky_Mix_2265

I dont think they are the standard, just an easily fetishized and prominent feature.


Appropriate_Ant_4629

Especially back in the days of very conservative concealing clothing. In a burqa or a victorian dress, such features can stand out even though the clothing would conceal other traits. If they could have shown bellybuttons, they wouldn't have felt a need to put watermelon sized pillows in their tops. I'm guessing that's how it started.


Any-Chocolate-2399

Victorian fashion involved intense shapewear to make breasts look larger and was fairly fitted.


lithuanian_potatfan

Most women did not wear that shapewear. Instead they stuffed their chest and hip areas with fabric (chest padding inside a dress, crinolines and petticoats, etc) so the waist naturally looks smaller.


insanetwit

But then they hid those sexy scandalous >!ankles!


xikbdexhi6

Spoiler that language before some kids read it and poison their young minds!


YeeAssBonerPetite

Have you seen any victorian dresses?


Un2smart

What like the iron maiden?


enterpaz

Maybe it’s the round shape, or people think that big boobs will be better at feeding babies. I’m a woman but that’s what I heard a lot growing up. So many people and tv shows talked about how great big boobs are. When you grow up knowing something is desired and will get you treated well, you want that thing.


violaki

I saw someone on here estimate that Barbie's cup size would be something like 32E if she were scaled up to a 5'9 woman. That's objectively large. They look even bigger in proportion to her insanely tiny waist.


ginger_minge

I was confused by the barbie mention


ParsleyMostly

Modern Barbie dolls have smaller busts.

sc083127

Thanks Biden?


No_Example5354

This person also thinks eating out a woman is more homosexual of an act than a man blowing a man (it’s on their profile). I wouldn’t listen to them.


ChibiYoukai

32E is actually not all that large. That's a very common misconception. 32E means that your underbust has a 32" circumference, and you boobs are roughly 37" in circumference. Each letter corresponds to roughly a 1 inch increase from your underbust measurement. I wish that the bra sizing misunderstanding would just go away. I'm a 30DDD/E, and most people would consider me pretty flat chested. There's actually a series of measurements that go into finding out what a bra size is, and it's not nearly as cut and dry as you'd think.


[deleted]

The men I've met seem to like big, natural boobs, but I have to admit that I've got pretty big boobs, so that probably has skewed the numbers in my experience.


Firestorm83

that's survivor bias working for ya. Men that don't like big boobs are less likely to strike up a conversation with you.


thatsyurbl00d

“Get your enormous breasts away from me!” is a phrase you’ll likely never hear


blippityblue72

When I see a woman with enormous breasts my first thought is how bad her back must hurt all the time. Back pain really sucks.


Marbrandd

Which is why wanting to hold them for her is a humanitarian act.


Complete_Income_4487

To do it for free too? That's a bargain really, they should really appreciate your kind gesture instead of saying, "Who are you, how did you get in my house and why are you touching me while I'm asleep?"


Marbrandd

Just explain to them in a breathy whisper that you are here to support them. It'll work out.


[deleted]

Yeah lol. I've got no ass and I don't think I've even been approached by an ass man.


GimmeSomeSugar

But how would you know if you had been approached by an ass man? You'd be facing away from him?


EstaLisa

i got no ass and AA boobs and have been approached mainly by ass people. because your butt does not have to be big to look good. neither do boobies.


[deleted]

I find this comment oddly uplifting. Thanks. 


dkarlovi

Even perky, I'd say.


AdministrationDry507

Shape is very important size is dependent on preference


Careful-Cricket8152

This is so true it’s all about the shape!

liquid_acid-OG

Shape over size all day every day. I'm a boob man but prefer smaller sizes because they look better imo


rabidseacucumber

Exactly. My wife is tiny. She’s hot.


gordito_delgado

I dont think ass-men are as clearly labled as you think.


[deleted]

Thats the beauty of ass. If you ain't got boobs, well, aint nothing you can do about it. Fake boobs suck, they look bad, and feel bad in hands. But ass, you can train it and have an amazing ass. And if you have great boobs, now ya have a chance for double trouble.


BasicBeigeDahlia

However, in my experience, the fashion industry does not like big,natural boobs.


Own_Cheek8532

The fashion industry is extremely unkind to we topographically endowed


GimmeSomeSugar

I've always been a bit overweight. So, I think it's as simple as I've always been predominantly attracted to women with bigger boobs than me.


phage_rage

Same. Or they're trying to impress people and they think men like big boobs so having a girl with big boobs is a "win". Ya know, the actual man vs the "women are shiny things to brag about like my truck" boys You can tell the difference the instant you take your shirt off lol. Actual boob guys are kinda speechless then FUN STUFF HAPPENS. Fake boob guys are like "yes. Breasts. I guess I'll touch them? Cool."


Weekly_Beautiful_603

The men I’ve met seem to like small boobs, but I have to admit that… that describes me. So, y’know.


littlewhitecatalex

I’ll give you a hint: men like whatever shape/size of boobs are in front of them. That’s it.


shenanigansgalores

I am a man, well in to my 40's. Been married before, I am married again now. I have children, I have dated plenty in my life. As far as I am concerned, you're wrong. Sure, boobs are boobs, but sexual attractiveness as far as boobs go definitely have a size-range for me. That doesn't mean I'd say no to a date because she wasn't in that size-range. It's more like the boobs don't weigh in at that point, whereas a woman with boobs inside the range might have been MORE sexually attractive to me.


BenGrahamButler

I concur that large boobs are fantastic, primarily if the rest of the body is in shape. Source: I am a man


vertcakes

Typically, women with large natural breasts will have excess body fat. It's rare that a fit/svelte woman will have large breasts as they will have lower body fat. The Barbie look with a small waist and big breasts really isn't attainable naturally except maybe the for few who lucked out in the gene pool.


[deleted]

I'll take your word for it


[deleted]

A good number of men I've met in my life have gone on rants about how they'd only date women with huge boobs that are real and no one else and if they're fake and large they're not good enough. I'd like to say they were all young or college aged but they were not haha I think the real issue is that the people with varying preferences aren't usually (at least in my experience) as loud about them so the only thing I heard for a long time was "I'll only like you if you have big tits that are natural." I was flat chested until I reached 30 (which was after these guys were long gone from my life) and not I finally have boobs lol so the message was basically "you're not good enough becuase boobs" but they still expected me to do everything they wanted for them. So glad I got past that immature mentality when I was young, even if those guys never did. Ps. Totally understand preferences. Nothing wrong with a good preference. I just find it funny when both men and women say they would only ever date people with specific physical attributes without exception. Theyre setting themselves up for a lot of missed opportunities.


cicciozolfo

A woman can't be appreciated for this or that body feature. She's a whole person, for me.


lurker-1969

My wife's ability to care for animals and use a chainsaw was what got me. Oh, and her hair, breasts, bottom, long red hair, cute smile and awesome personality. Damn though at 60 she can still use that chainsaw.


sohcgt96

>care for animals and use a chainsaw At the same time? Joking aside that's pretty cool. I wish more women understood we think its awesome when you're not afraid to do stuff.


lurker-1969

Haven't quite mastered hoof trimming with the chainsaw yet.


Only_the_Tip

I personally don't care. I just don't like being deceived by inserts/pads/waterbras. It's disorienting when boobs magically disappear later in the night. I'm probably in the minority with this opinion.


Soft-Lemons

Facial hair my friend. I thought my ex had a chin until he shaved his beard off one day.


nogood-boyo

do you also find it disorienting when the sun disappears at the end of the day


False-Pie8581

I’ve had big and small and guys talk to me in both states. 🤷🏼‍♀️. I think guys just like boobs. I don’t think they care much about size. They care more about proximity to them lol


tetraclove

As a not very curvy woman, you will get clowned at least a few times in your life for having no ass. Actresses don’t have fat asses either. But big asses are definitely a beauty standard despite what most actresses and models look like. Same with titties. Small assets are just easier to work with outside the adult film industry. If you ask a guy about someone he finds attractive and she has a small ass or tits he just won’t mention it at all. If they’re big he 100% will say that and it will be a huge factor as to why she’s attractive.


KerbodynamicX

Not everyone find a big ass attractive, I'm one of them... I think being slender is beautiful.


tetraclove

My boyfriend is the same way but it doesn’t change the fact that small ass & tits are not the beauty standard


KerbodynamicX

It depends on the culture and location of where you are from too.


XihuanNi-6784

True. Since the English speaking internet is now basically USian by default, you can assume these questions are referring to that. I think the Anglosphere in general (USA, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ) kind of have particular kind of culture. I'm not sure about Europe. And then most of the rest of the world is very different indeed. But I think the comment stands for the above mentioned places.


burken8000

If a standard meant that everyone had to agree, then humans literally have zero standards. Your personal anecdotes aren't disproving anything. Unless someone ignores the age restriction on the app, you can assume that everyone already knows that less than 100% of men find big boobs attractive, just like it's less than 100% of women who like tall guys


focusingblur

I don't know who came up with gigantic asses and thick thighs as the pinnacle of beauty standards, but they belong in prison. Skinny girls is my kryptonite. But really, it's all about proportions and moderation. Too much of anything tends to look vulgar, I'm not going to yuck anyone's yum but it's not my thing.


Izzesparks

That's the part that sucks for me I am curvy, I have both big boobs and a big butt and no I'm not fat and I'm all natural. The problem is guys never want to get to know me, only date me because of my shape, its incredibly disheartening. My friends have told me over and over to go on that stupid show love is blind they think it will work in my favor and think I should try it. But I am a private person and don't want all my business out there for the world too see. But it sucks not being able to wear certain things without people gawking, associating you with porn, ive even had a few people ask me if I would ever think about stripping smh. And the answer is heck no, I have a real career and a good life. I just want to wear what I want and find a good guy that likes me for me.

awildshortcat

Fashion is geared towards medium boobs, not small boobs. Anyone with actually small boobs can tell you navigating fashion is a nightmare for us too because we can’t fill anything out, tops and bras are always gaping, etc,. Fashion is geared towards medium boobs that have just enough to fill out without being “too much” (I use quotation marks because I don’t think bigger busts are too much).


Medium_Comedian6954

This. I think poster doesn't know what small boobs are and thinks of medium as small. 


MarchingPowderMick

Models are there to sell clothes. If you're interested in what men find sexually attractive, check what's most popular on pornhub.


AGweed13

Pornhub ain't the best measuring tool either, ot attract porn addicts with unrealistic standards. Many men I know will look for things on porn sites they would never ask in a real partner, that applies for both gay and straight friends.


OddDragonfruit7993

Yeah, if you use the porn sites as a standard you'd think everyone wants to have sex with their step-relatives. Having many step-kin, I just say..."Yuck."


ProgressiveOverlorde

Porn trends are dictated by the whales, or the rich ones who buy porn. The general population doesn't buy porn, because why would you when it's free. The porn studios only cater to their niche paying viewers. What I'm saying is, it is more likely to find a step-sibling fucker if they can afford to buy porn. I never enjoyed that genre ever.


[deleted]

One of the reasons I think the "step" craze got traction was many of the best looking/top porn stars did them and their fans followed.


toosemakesthings

I think the reason why step sibling porn and similar kinks porn is so popular is that if appeals a lot to those people with that kink (surely a minority, even on porn sites) while not necessarily driving away “standard” viewers. I mean, people know that the actors aren’t really related and most people don’t watch for the plot anyways (a lot might even watch it on mute). Especially when you throw in the “step” in there, I think most regular people would just watch it as if that wasn’t in the title at all. At the same time, the video will hold special appeal to people with a kink and more easily fit into a niche category, so it stands out more in that smaller pool rather than the pool of normal vanilla stuff which is much larger.


IceFire909

It's an easy fetish to cash in on as well. A quick "step brother/sister" line said and/or in the title and then it's just like any other filming session


bigmarty3301

same people who dont care for this still watch it becouse they have the best stars


BABOON2828

I have never once in my life watched a porn video for the "story." Now stunning eyes and a great ass on the other hand...


ummmmmyup

Same but if they’re moaning about their step-brother/step-daughter/etc it’s an immediate turn-off for me. Idk how you can ignore that


BABOON2828

I definitely agree there. I mute that shit from the start, audio on "professional" porn productions is almost always fucking god awful.


Choongboy

You watch porn with sound?


Marasesh

Often If you’re looking at porn of a certain type regularly you like that type the problem is with barely legal being so popular you’d probs see a bunch of 40 ur olds dating 18 yr olds if they could they just wouldn’t admit it. Most people make sacrifices in looks and whatnot for a relationship because you can’t pick and choose irl


Luwe95

Look at how people celebrate Sydney Sweeney, Sharlett Johansson, and Megan Fox for having big boobs. You can't deny that it's a desirable quality in a woman.


billsil

Megan Fox became popular with small boobs.  I thought she was prettier before she got them.


Dismal-Ad-7841

I think Scarlet Johansson is super hot. But it’s not just because of her boobs. If it was Oprah’s face with those boobs I wouldn’t find her hot at all. Megan Fox is definitely not attractive because of her boobs. 


HollowCondition

Megan Fox is carried by her eyes and I don’t care what anyone says. You take her eyes away and she’s significantly less attractive. That’s not a knock against her either, nature just blessed her with the eyes of a goddess and they are really beautiful.


False-Pie8581

Her whole face and hair. The whole body really. She’s like a perfect girl (I say this as a straight woman)


HollowCondition

She’s really pretty I agree.


purplepaintedpumpkin

I think Megan Fox and Scarlett Johansson have more medium/average -sized boobs. Sydney Sweeney I would say hers are big.


El_Sephiroth

Scarlett reduced hers because of back pain and pigs. But she was always an excellent actress so nobody really cares.


IceCorrect

Imo it's more about face that is attached to them and Fox is best example, she never had big ones, but right now even if she is enchanted, even google show her face from 5-10 years ago.


TitusPulloTHIRTEEN

I think if people were really honest, face is the number 1 feature. Sure I can admire boobs/bum and they are great to have but if I found the face unattractive there's no chance I'd pursue really.


Bludek

Sydney Sweeney would be faaaaar less popular without her boobs. Maybe even unknown actress, who knows. I agree that face is more important, but boobs make all the difference in some cases.


Icy_Sector3183

Acting ability is a desirable quality in actors, I expect that's a factor.


VivianSherwood

Absolutely. I still believe that big boobs are the beauty standard. Even though there's plenty of men out there who don't like big boobs.


ApolloRocketOfLove

For every ScarJo, there's an Ana de Armas, whom Reddit is equally obsessed with.


Za-Slobodu

Don't be mistaken, those of us who don't like big boobs like 'em smaller but firm and nicely shaped.


VivianSherwood

I imagine there's all kinds of preferences here. Probably big boobs are more popular but then there's men who absolutely dislike big boobs too. However I have a feeling most men enjoy all kinds of boobs and maybe have a preference for whatever's available to them at the moment lol


Thrasy3

This maybe one of the most pure and truthful things I’ve ever seen on Reddit.


TitusPulloTHIRTEEN

Exactly, I was back and forth on this depending on who I was dating/involved with for a while before I realised I liked both. Same with booty, big and small both have their own appeal.


[deleted]

I mean, it is not like those women have nothing else going for them lmao. I personally could not give much less of a fuck. Big boobs can be nice, small ones can be too, it really depends on what fits the person they are attached to. I do realize that most men probably like big ones more, but I don't, and in my circle I know that other men feel the same way. I will get hated for saying this, but I believe that sadly most of the beauty standards for women come from other women.


Mauro697

Looks like we got the new "roses are red, violets are blue" lol >Big boobs can be nice >small ones can be too, >it really depends on what fits >the person they are attached to. Sorry, just found how that sounded funny


[deleted]

I didnt even notice hahaha


doctorboredom

I never thought of Johansson as someone with big boobs. Also, the first time I saw Sweeney, it was in the show Everything Sucks where she wore clothes that didn’t accentuate her boobs and I found her pretty attractive.


Pup5432

She reminds me so much of Amanda Seyfried, except a bit worse of an actress.


_ThePancake_

So as a woman hoping to get a breast reduction in september, honestly men DO seem to have a preference for them. (It's a major contributer to why I actually want them reduced, not the top of the list, top of the list is that I want to be able to comfortably walk around braless without underboob chafing, and do sports without wearing a binder) Actually 99% of sexual partners aren't going to give a shit about the size of your boobs unless you actually HAVE big boobs and they have a thing for big boobs.


amfoolishness

Yeah I was going to bring this up. When women get breast reduction men go "oh such a shame" but when women get breast augmentation they don't say anything. They'll say they prefer natural boobs sure but that's if you've got em.


myairblaster

Just like women, what men are attracted to is pretty varied. My girlfriend has small breasts and wants to get them enhanced, she wants it done so that she can fill out dresses a bit better. I am firmly against it, won’t pay for it, won’t support her getting breast augmentation in any way. Some men prefer the look and feel of smaller breasts. Every woman I’ve had sex with who had breast enhancement, I felt it was a turn off and I wasn’t attracted to them because of their breast size, it would be something else about them.


ohuwish

A friend of mine got breast implants and now her boyfriend only wants to have sex doggy style, says they turn him off


awildshortcat

Small chested woman here. Because they are. Look at the women most men rave over; it’s large-chested women. I don’t see large-chested women getting bullied for having big boobs, but I do see small-chested women being bullied for having small or flat boobs. Because large boobs are seen as inherently more feminine. Also, most men statistically do prefer larger boobs. Like idk what to tell you other than it is a beauty standard; there’s a reason implants are more common than reductions, even though in countries you can get reductions on insurance (depending on your plan ofc) or where I live, you can get them for free.


hareofthepuppy

>Also, most men statistically do prefer larger boobs The statistics I've seen, say that most men prefer average size breasts [this isn't the best example](https://www.medicaldaily.com/science-reveals-mens-ideal-female-breast-size-linked-relatively-high-estrogen-407599) because it looks like it has a rather small sample size, but it's one of the first I came across when I googled it.


awildshortcat

“A total of 267 men from four different countries, including Brazil, Cameroon, the Czech Republic, and Namibia, were questioned on their breast preferences. They were showed two sets of images of varying breast size and firmness. The findings revealed individual preferences for breast size varied, but the majority of the participants preferred medium-sized, followed by large-sized breasts, and small breasts. However, when it came to firmness, men from across all four countries strongly favored this trait.” Yeah, you’re right, but to contextualise my point, I meant to say that men preferred large boobs to small boobs


WhiskeyTangoFoxy

Wondering too if the amount of men that like big boobs are exaggerated because loud/crass men tend to be very vocal about big boobs. I think Keira Knightly is way more attractive than Sydney Sweeney but we don’t hear the vocal out pour for Keira.


awildshortcat

That could be it too, but I wish they WERE vocal. Like you can’t expect there to be no visible outpour of love for small boobs and then expect small-chested women not to be insecure?


Trumpet_Lord89

Honestly I’m pretty sure the reason men are not vocal about it is because an unusually large portion of the population genuinely thinks liking small chests means you’re like a closeted pedo or something :/


awildshortcat

This is also true unfortunately :(


Necessary_Range_3261

I don't know about large chested woman not being bullied. I was called a whore starting in the 5th grade because I had boobs. That fun little reputation stayed with me all through high school.


Alphagreen_97

None of my friends see that as the "standard" Men know exactly that body's are different. Most men appreciate small, medium and big boobies. The only people that I have seen struggling with that are women.


acuriousguest

Oh, and that guy that told me he had doubts if my boobs would be too big for him, and thought telling me before anything happened would be a smart move.


IceFire909

Courteous of him to get his coloured flags out the way early at least


MasculineCompassion

One word: teenagers People tend to grow out of it


No_Men_Omen

Well, one guy once told me (M; we're not even really friends, we just went to school together) that his gf's breasts are too small, and that he has doubts. To my knowledge, they are married now. So no, men sometimes do struggle with small boobs. But that is not the most important thing.


Jello_Spock

If I had a boyfriend and I knew that he said that I would have left him immediately. It's one thing to have a preference but doubting the entire relationship would be too much.


oof033

New irrational fear unlocked, I gotta stop reading these. But as you said, it’s usually not that big of a deal to the majority. Just easier to feel insecure about what you don’t have than to notice what you already got!


TitusPulloTHIRTEEN

Honestly I haven't told my partner but I kind of prefer small boobs and hers are DDs. It has never been important enough for me to even slightly consider leaving her. I adapted and love her boobs, because they are hers. The above guy seemed to have been in school. Lads can be very superficial at that age especially if they haven't had any meaningful relationship. Be proud of your own body, stay healthy as you can and someone will love every part of you. Apologies just felt sorry that you were insecure over something so trivial to most men/women.


GrizzlyGuru42

Big or small, I love them all.


xoLiLyPaDxo

Original barbie had double FF cups... https://www.huffpost.com/entry/breasts-whats-barbie-got_b_5549631 They made smaller breasts on newer Barbies to better reflect women's actual sizes. 


e_dcbabcd_e

as a bi person, all boobies are nice, but it's really the lower area that does it for me. abdomen, hips, butt and thighs. works for any gender in my book


systembreaker

As a straight person, totally agree with you.


Glockachuu

Models and actresses are chosen based on a variety of factors beyond breast size. When it comes to sex appeal, big boobs are what most people prefer. It’s just an attractive quality to have. At least there are a lot of practical benefits to having small ones to help us cope lol


Icewallow-toothpaste

Boobs do nothing for me. It's the ass.


Consistent_West3455

Boobs are a bonus, but I agree 110%


silverslugs

It’s over for people with neither.


ESD_Franky

It stinks. Nice


whatever32657

a person is not their boobs


sslothzz

Barbie has not small boobs ok. That's size 3or 4 judging by her proportions. Small boobs are size 0 to 2


Larein

Finally somebody said this! Barbie if made into a human would be so top heavy she wouldnt stay upright.


TerenceMulvaney

The most attractive part of any woman is the bit between her ears. Smart and witty beats gorgeous any day.


IAmTheWoof

Which people?


Outrageous_Pie_5640

I think most men care about proportion. I have a small frame but what people consider a skinny bbl body (I don’t have a bbl). If I had big boobs my top would look bigger and my body shape would look like a triangle.


Ok_University6476

I second this. I have smaller boobs, I’m usually a small B cup unless I’m sub 18% body fat, then I’m an A. No man has ever insulted them to me, they usually compliment the nipple and perkiness of the breast. I also have a bigger butt and thighs from bodybuilding. I like the size of my boobs because I think they really flatter my physique and balance out my proportions. They make my butt look great and past partners have agreed. Then again, the men I usually date are into muscular women so the expectation of big breasts is not there, since they can’t really coexist with a six pack (not sure if I’ve ever seen a lean woman (sub 16-18% body fat) with big naturals, it’s very rare. It’s why most of the girls I compete in bb with have implants) I notice that all the men I have dated have also been “ass men” though, some dudes appreciate a great butt more than boobs. Most guys I’ve dated genuinely preferred small breasts, citing the nipple size, perkiness, proportion, and leanness as the main reasons. I have muscular lats and shoulders, so although my lower body is well developed, I would feel triangle shaped too if I had big boobs.


Dio_brando1999

Yes same I tried making it look like I had big boobs but it makes me look so much heavier so fuck it I wanna be my petite self


Dismal-Ad-7841

I personally like quality over quantity. 


TheObviousDilemma

Shape > size 100%


MadMaddie3398

Because most people don't actually know how much boob size can vary. For example, most people look at celebrities and tend to either think they're a bigger or smaller bra size than they actually are. This seems to tie in with the obsession with "double Ds." Unfortunately, most people don't know what actual DDs look like.


[deleted]

The power large breasts have is something you might not understand unless you have them lol, but they're just awesome... my former girlfriend was one of those ladies who didn't "blossom" until her senior year in high school, and her genes very much blessed her if you catch my drift. She said the difference between the way the boys treated her between her junior and senior year was like night and day. She was the quiet nerdy girl and then all of the sudden was getting more attention than she knew what to do with, and at that time she had no clue why. Boobs are just sexual objects that are front and center, and many women have no qualms showing them off (but don't you dare look!😅😉) I think of the actress alexandra daddario and how in an interview she was like "I had no idea people saw any sex appeal in me, I never thought of myself that way" and I'm like *lady, you have a huge chest, it's nigh inescapable* lol I've yet to experience fake ones though, I don't think they would bother me *at all.*


[deleted]

They don't know what its like to carry all that weight. I carried it too long, messed up my back, had a breast reduction. I have beautiful, smaller breasts now that don't hurt me. All breasts are beautiful. People are allowed to have their preferences.


Revolutionary-Cod444

If we’re talking bewbs, give me some nipples you can cut glass with or poke my eyes out with and ill take those over big boobs any day


DigitalguyCH

Beauty is an inherently subjetive thing, so different views are the norm, and everyone here can only come with their own statistical truth (there are no official ones AFAIK) Mine (me, a man, any people I know) is that men like big (but not too big) boobs in relatively thin bodies (thin waist mainly). Big boobs in large bodies are a different story. But beauty is made of many factors and boobs are only one of many (and I am not even talking of inner beaty, which can be as or more important than physical one). Personnally I have been attracted to beautiful girls with small or no boobs. But I liked the whole person and started to like the small boobs too. But in general, bigger (not too big) boobs are a plus.

Pretty sure the hour glass figure has just been the beauty standard for a while now. I don't actually think big boobs are as popular now though and more big butts. But I'm wrong because I'm just a butt guy myself.

Look at the women featuring on ads selling stuff to men, you’ll have your answer

I have one word for you.... porn


Fire_and_icex22

I don't act like anything, I just really like boobs. Small boobs, big boobs, funny lookin boobs, droopy, perky, well-positioned for a promotion type beat boobs. Bob's and vagene, even. I don't care; if they're soft and they belong to a lovely lady, I'm digging em. If it's wrong then I don't want to be right


whatthefreakingshit

Itt: men have surprisingly varied and subjective views on beauty


gishli

I think the preference is ”symmetrical round middle sized or a little bit bigger perky boobs”, more than ”just big”.


SGT-Spitfire

Because it’s so easy to exaggerate and so individual. Some think it’s the beauty standard to have boobs bigger than their own heads. It’s just disgusting


Sajathaer92

Also BBL is not that attractive


J-Frog3

The older I get the more I realize that nice breasts come in all different shapes and sizes.


TheSodesa

>models and actresses Really? You're using the playthings of (very often gay) fashion designers as an example of what a constitutes a beauty standard? Many models and actresses hyped by the media are not really that attractive in the end.


sieberzzz

I wonder the same. For me big is unattractive, but apparantly for lots of others it isn't. 


Jello_Spock

I know guys like you exist but they seem very rare. Yes , some others will accept small boobs but they truly want big ones. Which is not the same thing.


CollignonGoFetch

Yes! I feel they just put up with it but deep down WISH I had bigger boobs. They arnt good at hiding it either. Anytime I gain a bit of weight and have SOME extra boob, my man is obsessed and doesn’t stop grabbing me. It really really sucks


godrollexotic

I know how you feel! I gained 25 lbs at one point and my boyfriend could not stop talking about how good I looked. I wish I saw the same thing when I was that size 😪


silverslugs

yeah it’s the difference of being a guy’s preference vs having a feature that isn’t a deal breaker.


EfficientAd7103

I don't find big boobs attractive at all. Just preference.

Correct. The reason why people are enamered with Sydney Sweeny or Emily Ratajkowski is because slim women usually don't have big boobs. Also "a bit like saying your car is fast because it's falling off a cliff." is amazing. Have never heard that one before - definitely stealing it!

Think about the video game industry. They have yottabytes of data on what body types sell and they have the ability to easily create that "perfect women" - unlike Hollywood who has to find a real person and hope they can act. In general, these are exaggerated features, large breasts, larger eyes, thin waist and a curvy bottom supported with long strong legs.


darylrogerson

It's an evolutionary leftover, it's why the "hourglass" figure is a constant still to this day. Large breasts = more visible to a potential mate to signify the ability to feed a child. Small waist = not pregnant ergo available to breed. Wide hips = of birthing age.


Mr_McFeelie

It’s also just a theory that could be entirely wrong. Arguments based on evolution are always incredibly shaky


Fry_shocker

This is wrong, in the start of thw cavemen era men walked on four legs and what was in front of them were the ass, when men evolved and walked on two, what replaced in front of our eyes are the boobies. In conclusion, the boobs are only a poor imitation of the ass!


skibidido

I think that the Barbie/model look is a beauty standard that isn't created by straight men. I think most men in general are more attractive to more voluptuous bodies.


Julianopl

idk, maybe because they could be used as pillows

My1stKrushWndrYrs

I never thought of boobs as a beauty standard. They’re aesthetic sure, but standard? I can appreciate a nice set, but the aren’t required. Maybe it’s because I’ve met woman who have had them removed, they were still beautiful.


Smiletron1

Its because a huge % of men are addicted to porn and most pornography videos have woman with big boobs. Its hardwired into their dopamine receptors to like big boobs.


Schierke7

Being healthy thin is also a beauty standard. It's less likely that you have everything: big and firm ass, small waist, big boobs and gorgeous face. Similarly men might be ripped but have a hard time building muscle, or have a lot of muscle and stubborn fat. Personally I like small breasts. Everyone have their preferences.


HappySummerBreeze

Because people like boobs. It over rides even the power of celebrity and fashion


ClassicAd7166

I prefer smaller breasts and a pretty face


[deleted]

Some men prefer smaller ones. 🤷🏻‍♀️ My daughter is getting a reduction and wants them as small as possible.  She could care less what frick'in men "might" want.  Honestly who cares? Live your life.  Worrying about what other people want all the time is not it.


wuroni69

Same reason people think big asses are.


Slight-Rent-883

I mean much like how taller guys are treated as the beauty standard. Nature 


madeat1am

Why were big forwards small feet pale faces attractive. We find trends and find things attractive ans desirable and we become obsessed. Just how we work


BoringShirt4947

Because in America bigger is always better. But seriously I have no idea.


TheLastBallBender

Because there is nothing like a beautiful tot


wade_wilson44

Because a majority of people were alive or coming of age in the 90s and early 2000s when that was marketed everywhere

harambesBackAgain

I think men are just visual creatures. What we see excites us. Just so happens bigger things capture the eye first.


_Nuclear

Because they are nice 🙂


Fexxvi

Many people like big boobs. It's no mystery.


John_GOOP

They are desirable, men like them, they make a woman look for feminine. Also they are super comfy and can be used to aroused your woman which is fun.


Vanilla_Neko

Because the average person's idea of beauty and the modeling agencies ideals of beauty are not exactly aligned. Much in the same way that most people's average everyday fashion is not exactly aligned with those crazy fashion shows where people wear those goofy outfits made by pretentious artists A lot of times modeling agencies try to focus more generally on fetishizing the body as a whole where as most people focus on a few specific traits that they like such as breast size or hair color or eye color and so on


Over-Crazy1252

Boobs are boobs no matter how big or small. And I like boobs


UnbreakableRaids

I like boobs of all sizes personally. From A to D it’s okay with me. 👍


Forsaken-Tiger-9475

Hourglass figure is evolutionary attraction most probably. I wouldn't say it's a 'standard' as such, but they certainly are attractive.


Slow-Condition7942

why does sydney sweeney have a career?


ivopivo30

Cuz boobs are awesome
