Overheard at my hospital:
Senior psychiatrist, about 15 years older than me- "I need to get a breast reduction done, look at me, I'm tiny, and I swear a third of my weight is up here."
Then she went on about how it wouldn't be covered by the NHS, and it would ludicrously expensive to get done privately here, hence her plan to fly in to Turkey and get cut down to size there.
The shame! The squandering of God-given gifts! An imminent call for a diagnosis of severe body dysmorphia with threat of self-mutilation requiring involuntary commitment! A man can only sigh and pour one out.
Usually they just need to lose weight.
It's mostly because women hate women with big boobs. Really hate.
The maths is easy - huge boobs are very rare, but their appeal is substantial. About a third of men have a straight out mentality of 'the bigger the better', so the 1 in 30 woman with huge ones has a big edge. There's also some back pain but nothing 20 minutes of exercise a week wouldn't fix.
I saw a breakdown on this where they showed some pictures of women and asked men what they preferred. The sizes were something like this:
DD cup was the most popular size, followed by the super big unnatural size.
And that's why the most popular size for women who get implants is 300-400 mL per breast – about the size of a softball. Ouch.
As you can imagine, it's a class thing, with lower class men preferring the largest breasts.
But do lower class men actually like larger breasts more than upper class men, or are upper class men just more sensitive to appearing vulgar and crass and temper/moderate their responses? What do you think of the boobs vs butts phenomenon where the map of global preferences looks suspiciously like an IQ map? And Jewish women being known for their breasts?
What if causation is structured differently? Like, a preexisting proclivity for temperance leading to (1) preference for smaller breasts and (2) better life outcomes.
Does the lower class thing hold up in places where there is no correlation between class and obesity rates? Most people like looks that they grew up with.
"Those who disagree are just falsifying preferences" is a too emotionally satisfying theory to not be suspect. Also, even if it is shaped by social pressure, in what sense is a sufficiently internalised preference less valid? Nobody likes IPAs or jazz in a state of nature, either.
I would guess that IQ correlates positively with a lot of sexual preferences that are not reproductively advantageous. Furries are known to be something like the Jews of IT, too.
I think the only limiting factor on preference for breast size is once they become so large they're a visible deformity (at which point you get into inflation fetish territory- aka the DeviantArt school of sexual attraction). Of course, that also means having breasts that large is selected against.
I think that pushes the average size preference up, not down, for 'she looks like a little girl that means ur a pedo hahah also die' reasons.
In my experience I only really feel this dynamic online. IRL I wouldn't feel embarrassed to introduce my parents to a gf with A cups, introducing my parents to my H cup gf would feel shameful.
