To think it wrong that 1/3 of young girls would rather have big boobs than a big IQ?

Maybe the girls that said yes haven't got a very big IQ to start with but this is just ridiculous. There are plenty of big boobed girls with no money or prospects. Meanwhile intelligent girls stand a far better chance of getting on in life, and if they are earning good money they could always pay for a boob job if it means that much to them.

I think Daily Mail and other tabloid readers spread this crap like viruses. It's ridiculous. They never include the raw data, you've no idea of the composite make-up of the interviewees.

Makes a good bunfight though, eh? Not for me, I'm bored to tears of stupid tabloid links.

I find it very worrying if its true but not read the article. Not even that they any bigger boobs but that that is their ambition.

I'm currently reading living doll and it's very interesting. Not sure how much is true though. Don't suppose ill know until dd gets older.

Surely its encouraging though that two thirds don't want larger breasts.

Currently being pregnant with ever growing boobs I long for the day my small ones return.

meh people are idiots.
What age are we talking here? because if it's 14-18 or even maybe a bit older 16-22 I'd imagine young men want plently of stupid things more than they want a high I.Q.

Not really I don't think. One third is a huge proportion

No idea, and cant be bothered to read article which is why I'm still on the fence :o
However Living Dolls is exactly like this. Again, I at some of it, but the general principle - that young girls and women are being more and more told that their bodies are what are most important to them - seems likely given my experiences and very depressing

Stranded, 1400 is a very decent sample size

Because big IQs mean that much at the moment? They don't necessarily help you to get a job now do they?

If you can't get a job even as a graduate, you might as well go for the boobs.

from a statistical point of view it's fairly certain (95%) that between 30 and 36% would answer that if you increased the sample size

(based on some very quick and rough calcs and desperately hoping I've got it right or if I've got it wrong no-one notices)

Now the survey design, validity of the question etc, question all you like :o

I'm alright then - I'm brainy AND I've got huge knockers

My giant BOOBZ are second only to my giant brain.

Despite it being a DM article I can actually believe it. Not surprising when images of the 'perfect' woman are thrust at us from the media on a daily basis.

Plus, there is a high percentage of rich, successful women off the back of having big boobs. Perhaps that's the attraction. Why slave away at Uni when you can get your baps out and earn ten times as much.

Is there really a "high percentage of rich, successful women off the back of having big boobs"?

BULLSHIT, who fucking beleives these surveys?

Yes but you're saying it's a biased sample there, not that the sample size is wrong.
Anyway...have been doing confidence intervals all day so bringing my work home with me :o

Send them in my direction, I'll soon tell them how crap it is to have big boobs. Backache, ugly bras and severly limited choice in tops

Yeah big boobs is better than intelligence when you are fourteen. In fact until you are about 25 it is. Socially at least it's much better.

However once you actually grow up, IQ let's you buy better boobs rise above it.

There is a very visibile group of women successful off the back of having huge boobs. Unlike the larger group of hardworking/intelligent women who are quietly sucessful.

Is this the daily mail?
it should be titled 'all young women/girls are vapid airheads who wanna look like glamour models' it would be kinder than this.Fake shock at what was probably a very pointed survey whatever , and probably targeted at a certain type of girl.

And why is having a boob job seen as some that actively dumbs you down? that ignorance irratates me, asif flatchested women go into theatre really bright and articulate and come out sounding like vicky pollard.
