People assume I would like to have larger breasts

[Nineinchnails]

Why do people (three good friends have mentioned this) who have large breasts think that I must want large breasts.
I have no issue with my 34A boobs and neither does my DP. If I had bigger boobs I would be overweight. These friends have large breasts but are also overweight.
One asked, don't you ever consider chicken fillets? Umm no.
I have no issues with my body although others seem to see the imperfections. It infuriates me that everyone assumes you must have some issues, what are we teaching our DDs if this is the case? AIBU?

Okay sorry about the running for the bus comment, this was because friend who asked about chicken fillets also once said that she wouldn't run for the bus with me as her boobs would knock her out. I was thinking to myself that this was an advantage of my small boobs and wondering what was the great advantage of the larger ones.
Of course most people can run for the bus !

It's rude of your friends to suggest such things about your body; they should keep it to themselves.

I'm petite and thin, but I have large breasts for my frame. I like them and wouldn't have them any other way, but each to their own.

As long as you're happy with your body, that's all that matters.

I agree, people would be much happier if they just accepted their bodies and embraced the idea that it's ok to be different. I have very large boobs and am quite happy with them despite the problems buying clothes, bras, running for a bus etc. They are just part of who I am.
I did get funding for a reduction as was suffering with lower back problems but consultant said it would make little difference so chose not too go ahead with the operation. In my research, everybody I spoke to who had had the operation said the main reason was not liking being stared at - so reasons for reduction were psychological. Seems crazy to put yourself through surgery for those reasons.

YANBU. I have breasts that are on the larger side and I'd love for them to be smaller. Big boobs aren't for everyone

I reckon this is stealth boast

I am sure you have a lovely body OP and it's great to be happy with your self.

But it gets a bit boring that women with big boobs have to pretend to hate them to make flat cheated women feel better.

I am slim but with a big bust and like it. The only downside is the back pain.

God knows what your talking about with the overweight stuff, to be honest it sounds like you are a little jealous of bigger boobs.

I have small boobs and love them, I'm small all over and would look silly with big ones.

But that is not the point Foodtime. My friends are obviously happy with their boobs and feel that I can't be happy with mine. I am not jealous of their boobs.
Neither is it a stealth boast. My DDs (not those ones ) will more than likely have small boobs and I'd like them to feel happy and confident about theirs too.

Boobs do seem massively bigger now unless all teenagers upwards are in add-a-cup bras? B was average among my friends but girls now look like they've mostly got massive knockers. Mine are a droopy C. Hate them but not the size just the low position. But they fed my babies.

I wouldn't change them, though, I've successfully BF three babies hmmmm, Not sure what you're trying to say there as I have small breasts & successfully bf 2 children, size has nothing to do with this particular subject.

I have an F cup. I long for the days when I was C/D.

But that is not the point Foodtime. My friends are obviously happy with their boobs and feel that I can't be happy with mine. I am not jealous of their boobs.

But you come across a little jealous and like your over compensating. If you were happy there would be no need for digs about there weight.

They should never have commented on your boobs but the fact of the matter is in our Society big boobs are considered more attractive. There are a lot of unrealistic ideals and we shouldn't put pressure on each other let alone our friends.

A pp said they thought larger breasts were a disadvantage when breastfeeding.

I hear you OP. I'm a 34A too. I'm quite happy especially as i do a lot of exercise and am nearly 43 yet still very perky!
But my mum who has big boobs (actually think matronly bosom!) openly pities me. She genuinely thinks a woman cannot possibly be considered to have a good figure unless she has humongous bazookas.

I can still buy my bras in the teenage department in Peacocks. My lack in the chest department has been a constant factor in my life. BUT all my girls are slim with letters of the alphabet in their bra sizes that I can only dream of, don't know what happened there! My bras are cheaper so ha!

I had small boobs until a couple of years ago. Perimenopause and I'm suddenly well-endowed. I liked them before and I like them now, but they do make you look fatter than you are. And men look at you more.

I love being 34A. I never wear padded bras and often dont wear bras. So much easier!

Mine don't look big at all, for years I wore B or occasionally C cup bras, but having done the MN bra intervention I'm actually a 28F, so I can say that I have F cup boobs but in reality they look small-medium sized, not tiny but definitely not big. I wouldn't want them any bigger, they're perky and a good shape (no DCs yet though so that may change in the future). No man has ever complained about them (wouldn't last 10 seconds if he did) and nobody has ever commented negatively on them. I don't think about or comment on other women's boobs and would find it very odd if anyone did about mine.

I have always had small boobs and love them. Only now I am getting fatter and I'm getting middle aged they are getting bigger and I hate it.

Wankingmonkey. I think you may be right. Having small boobs is accepted as being a cause of depression which warrants surgical intervention whereas people with large breasts are generally thought of as being "lucky" so why reduce. I worked once with women with breast cancer and they were almost encouraged to think of surgery as a chance to "go bigger". Google the cosmetic surgeons malluci and Branford who have come up with the " perfect" breast size and shape. It beggars belief that body organs should be subjected to this

I've had a bilateral mastectomy ( breast cancer) and have prostheses - the assumption at my first fitting was that I would want to go bigger!
Er,no - I quite fancied being a bit smaller and neater! But the breast care nurses were a little with me....

I'm normal weight but my boobs are large, hard to dress, support and just bloody annoying - swap?

I have big boobs (G cup) and I quite like the look of a flat chested slim lady. Imo that's a very elegant look.

YANBU to be upset at them commenting about your boobs, that's totally out of order, I can't say it would cross my mind to even think someone is unhappy about their small boobs. It certainly isn't something that has been discussed in any of my friendship groups about someone else unless someone in particular has raised the issue of being unhappy themselves etc. Several of the group have had boob jobs for various reasons (bigger and smaller) but everyone seems laid back about it and never comments.

YABU re the overweight comment, why would you be overweight with big boobs? There is one thing being happy with your own body but it doesn't actually sound like you are as you are criticising other peoples. Not all big boobs are saggy either, my mum has huge boobs and doesn't even need a bra at 61 but mine were much smaller and after 2 kids and breastfeeding were completely deflated.

YADNBU to want your DD to be happy regardless, we should all be able to not give a shit about what other people look like TBH, I hate how things are now in the media and generally in society. Equally if someone wants to change something about themselves, for them, then I don't think they should be judged whatsoever. I think maybe you are just unlucky with your friends, they really have shitty attitudes!

My small boobs mean I can run for the bus more easily, play sports etc,

WTAF

I am a DD-E cup and I have never had any problems doing any of these things.

You sound scathing of larger busts and almost too congratulatory of your own A cup. Perhaps you are jealous after all if you feel the need to remark that women with larger busts cant do what you can when they blatantly can.
