Breasts are beautiful things. If you read that sentence and concluded I'm a male cheaveaunest pig, you should take your narrowminded self and read something else. Even the majority of my straight female friends agree that the soft, round contours of a breast (whether large or small) are pleasing to the eye, and somehow comforting. Indeed, mankind tends to gravitate toward rounded edges and soft contours. If you don't believe me, look at the infamous VW Beetle. The Beetle was immensely popular in an America full of long tail fins and stark edges. Even today, for reasons of style and beauty, as well as for aerodynamics, most cars are rounded and soft. So why is it that people get so anxious when someone objectively discusses the soft subtle curves of the female form?

Are breasts beautiful? Yes! Are breasts a sex symbol? Yes! Am I tired of women who wear tight body hugging, form fitting tops with no straps, complaining about guys looking that their boobs? Yes! While you should want to feel sexy, and should dress in a way that makes you comfortable, while still being decent, women who wear tops that accentuate their phsiques should be aware that they WILL draw attention. Invariably the sugarwater I put in my parents hummingbird feeder draws the hummingbirds that I so want to see. On the other hand, that same sweet water also attracts japaneese beetles, yellow jackets, wasps, and all kinds of various rodents I don't want to see. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. Ladies, just remember, some guys may not be discreet or tactful about looking, but in the end, if we weren't interested in your looks, we would not bother to keep looking. Looks attract, personality keeps!

Before I shut my mouth, and await the inevitable onslaught of hate mail, mean looks as I cross campus, and a flood of comments from people who will just simply read what they want to read in this (and not what I wrote), I want to address something that alarms me. As a guy, I am infatuated with the female form. That form includes the mammory areas of the female body. Just walking across campus, if you bother to pay attention, you will see many shapes and sizes. All are as different as the women who own them. Is this a bad thing? I say it is not. What distresses me is feedback from many of my female friends in California; many of them, or their gal friends, are considering implants. While implants are important and have a valuable place, I am distressed to hear about women who have C-cups, which are regarded as the "perfect" cup size, who want more.

I am further distressed in hearing from one gal, whom I regard as having a perfect body, breasts included, who wants implants "to firm them up." Ladies, yes, guys like breasts. Yes, many of us gravitate toward the medium and larger cup sizes. In the end, does your bra size matter that much? Ask your man. If he says yes, then you should look into finding someone who loves you for your personality and mind. Most of us won't look good forever. Before I'm called a hypocrite, yes, I do prefer certain sizes over others. But when it comes down to it, I love my 44DD gal friend as much as I love my 32A gal friend. Breasts are nice, but there are other things that are important. Your health, and your life are important. Please do not go under the knife, or into the piercer's chair to "enchance" your breasts' appearance, just to catch the guys. Worry first about your breast health by doing your monthly exam, having your annual medical exam, and mamograms as recommended. Then, once you are sure you are healthy, and are sure you can find or keep your perfect partner without the enhancements, then consider modifications. 9 out of 10 random men I surveyed reported they'd rather a gal wear sexy lingere then make a change that might be difficult, dangerous, or painful to reverse.
