Making Peace With “The Girls”

It’s been a good while since I’ve been a dedicated reader of Seventeen Magazine, but I decided to pick up the October issue. In the health section, page 102, author and self esteem expert Jess Weiner takes a minute to make a note about an email she received from a young woman, as part of the Seventeen’s Body Peace Project, (which I love). The girl wrote in about how she happened to be watching an adult film with her boyfriend and his friends, and they kept ogling about how hot all the fake boobs on screen were, and she started to doubt that her own breast size is big enough to be attractive to her boyfriend. Jess went on to reply to the girl. ” Instead of feeling like your breasts exist solely for everyone else to approve of, it’s important to remember that they’re your breasts, and the only one who needs to think they’re the right size is you.” And in a PS. note she states, “Guys do pay attention to the size of your breasts, but I swear they like them at any size.”

I have found that statement to be very true. I have seen a lot of men slobbering over big, fake breasts, but that doesn’t mean they don’t like smaller ones too. Actually, most of the men I know that I have heard input from much rather prefer to be with a woman who has natural breasts, even if they are smaller in size, than a big breasted woman who’s had implants. And I actually know lots of men who are turned off by fake boobs as well. You are probably thinking, “Yeah, we know. Small boobs are good too. Love your boobs.” But actually, a lot of women are still struggling with issues about the size of their breasts. I personally see it all the time, on forums I post on and in real life: friends and acquaintances expressing unhappiness with their breasts and contemplating getting breast augmentation, but the truth is, most men are satisfied with breasts of any size. They just love boobs, period. And if there is such a jerk out there who tells you that you would be more attractive with bigger boobs, then he obviously could use a bigger brain.

  1. “Guys do pay attention to the size of your breasts, but I swear they like them at any size.”

    Interesting. Good in theory, but sadly, that’s about all.

  2. I think Vanessa wrote that because she, like me, knows that guys may “put up with” small ones, but they by no means find them exciting. Yours obviously aren’t small or you’d know what we’re talking about. Walk a mile in my bra (30A) and then see what you think of your article.

    I was 34D at one time. And then 32B. And now 30A. And I know of whence I speak. Guys could give a crap about small ones.

  3. Stella I am a male who prefers smaller breasts. I appreciate A’s and B’s most. I don’t know what it is, but I think they are cuter on women.
