I like big boobs.

Quite honestly as a social libertarian I cannot say one should judge, or call it wrong. A majority of people tattoo themselves which is something that is just as much body modification on that is mainstream everywhere.

Hey, as a straight male I love big floppy boobs too. They're fantastic, one of nature's greatest creations. But I like REAL big floppy boobs. Not big silicone bags that hang there straight out like they're on anti-gravity, they don't bounce or jiggle naturally, they barely move at all. It's disturbing, and the very idea is disgusting. I would in fact call it "wrong". Getting fake tits to make beleive you really have BIG tits, to somehow help you feel "better" about your self image, that isn't healthy or helpful or "okay", that's demented. If you're not okay with how you look, there's a problem, and it's a psychological one. People are never going to get over insecurity if they just try to unnaturally "modify" their bodies to "improve" their appearance. That's not how it works. A girl is never going to feel "GOOD" about herself because she got a boob-job. She does it because she thinks that's what men and society want out of her, and no offense to anyone who's gotten one, but quite frankly, I think it's a sign of not only severe lack of self-worth and self-confidence, but it's also degrading and incredibly shallow. You're saying that as a woman, the size of your breasts defines who you are. You're saying that having smaller breasts is somehow detrimental to who you are or your life. And that, to me, is sad and at least a bit sickening.

I simply cannot concieve of any OTHER reason why a self-respecting, CONFIDENT woman would have a boob-job done. I may, as a man, LOVE big tits, sure I freely and proudly admit it. That's nature. But if I meet a girl who's an awesome personality, who happens to be a great person and is even gorgeous besides, but has smaller boobs? No way in hell would I be one of those guys who asks his girl to "get her boobs done". I think that shows just as much shallowness and depravity on the side of the man as it does the woman, because what DECENT guy, what decent PERSON would say "Oh sure I love you, but would you change 'X' about yourself please?" The only thing I could see myself ever asking a woman to change about herself, is if she smoked, because cigarettes are vile, I don't want to be around them, and don't want her to die of lung cancer. Outside of that, if you're not happy with who a person is, or how they look, yet claim to want to be with them, you've got a problem. Just as much as a person who claims to be confident in herself, happy with herself, yet wants a boob-job, has serious issues.

 

That's how I see it at least.

Hey, look, I think most people are generally apathetic about others getting plastic surgery I know I am. I would not agree that a culture should encourge heavy forms of body modification. Being the way it is, women that get it done are not doing just because of insecurities. Many times it advances women's position in society. Quite frankly, people do all kinds of things to boost self-esteem unfortunantly many of the things done by women are not healthy. I am more concerned with something like nervosa anorexicia than a person receiving a bit of surgery. And to even further, an extremely over weight person that eats way too much due to insecurities is much greater health concern. These people are damaging long term health far more than a boob job. It is fair to say you do not like it, for sure, but having procedures done does not ever mean there are mental health problems like you seem to assume. I know people might be bored so they write on the topic, but generally it seems no worse to society than binge drinking, reckless sports or other potentially harmful activities. So basically, I am saying to let live. I am fairly apathetic about it and am sure most people are too. It would be better in the US to judge and care more about stopping obesity. That is a far more wide epedemic than people doing small amounts of body modification that has been present in human cultures throuout history. This topic is barely even harmful to society,
