What is the point of breasts?

[Kjones27]

I have absolutely massive breasts. They are huge. And I'm only five foot 3.

They are so heavy. They are so hard to dress. I considered a breast reduction at one point but I decided I couldn't put myself through the surgery.

They are so heavy and huge.

And they just seem utterly pointless..their main reason to exist is to feed babies. I have never had children and never will have any. I don't want them.

I just think what's the point of them. I'm sure I read somewhere that most mammals only develop breasts after they have children.
That humans are very unusual to develop breasts and keep them for life.

I wish … mine don’t change if I gain weight. My stomach and ass make up for being fat storers unfortunately…

Yes society tells women they should want and pay for big boobs.

But I've definitely been envious of small boobed women. They don't have to carry around a huge weight all the time. they can wear anything they want. I would like to try it for a while.

There is a theory that producing round breasts in female humans evolved for sexual reasons (attraction) rather than for the purposes of feeding babies. Looking at female primates will show that big round boobs aren't necessary to feed.

Mine don’t shrink if I loose weight 🤷‍♀️ I’ve lost 3 stone recently and not even a half cup smaller.

This is it exactly.

Op have you never come across those quizes cleavage or bum, point for the ones you get right?

I know what you mean. I feel whatever I wear looks sexual bordering on obscene. It's hard dressing for work. I often wear baggy tops and jumpers but even that doesn't disguise them. There's no way to hide them.

Not that I know a lot about it, but maybe where we store fat is genetically inherited.

My cousin has really small boobs and really big legs and thighs, her mum is exactly the same. If they put on weight, they store fat on their thighs, never their boobs

Because different sizes are due to the fat tissue. That tissue doesn’t produce milk. It’s to attract a mate. And distinguish us from males perhaps. Ops ancestors clearly liked them big and natural selection got her big ones in the gene pool!

Stupid evolution! Haha

But it’s like anything isn’t it. Hair colour, eye colour, height, where we store our womanly fat (as it’s all about osterogen - it’s all attractive to different mates).

But if they originated to attract a mate, why do some women have very small, hardly there boobs?

And women with tiny boobs are still seen as attractive by men. Keira knightly for example. She said "I don't have boobs, I have pecs".

She literally has extremely small breasts. Many men still saw her as stunningly beautiful.

Even evolution is obsessed with the male gaze.

I love my boobs but only for myself. I don’t like to show cleavage or wear bodycon tops or bikinis. They feel the right size for my body. I wouldn’t want them to be any bigger or any smaller.

Yes!!! This ^

Anywhere between a 34F and 36GG depending on the shop, heavy, sweaty, awkward and always in the bloody way.
They did their job with three kids, they should have sodded off when I finished feeding the third one!!

Also don't have the balls for surgery that isn't lifesaving, so I guess I'm stuck with them.

I'm literally all boob.

@Kjones27 I think you've answered your own question. Those traits (small boobs) exist because some men find them attractive. Same with larger boobs, some men like it, some don't.

There's a mate for everyone

It's just part of the variety of humans.

A bit like how some men have very small penises and some very big.

Some people are tall some short.

There's not much rhyme or reason. It just ended up in the gene pool and expresses itself.

Men tend to like women full stop!

Just like your breast tissue has nothing to do with how much milk you produce.

Fat storage is definitely a thing. I’m small boobed / backed & weight goes straight my thighs / bum. And jowly face now too…

A massive ROFL job.

Yeah but it seems badly designed for women.

If men have a big Penis, it's not too heavy for them to carry it around. I've never heard a man , or ever seen online, a man complain about his heavy Penis.

But I've heard a lot of women complain about back pain from heavy breasts.

We have to carry a huge amount of weight in a place that doesn't really support the weight. Resulting in a lot of back pain.

I get it op. An old work colleague of mine had enormous boobs, they didnt make bras in her size (though they probably do now). She was a very shy self conscious person and was mortified by them. She seldom went out, never had a boyfriend, they really impacted her life. Last year she was feeling unwell and her gp sent her to hospital and within hours of being admitted she slipped into a coma and was dead in a couple of days. She was riddled with breast cancer but had been too embarrassed to tell the doctor about her symptoms. Her huge breasts were the bane of her life and they ended up killing her.

This is where our design isn't ideal.

I mean...there could have been much nicer ways to have periods or give birth etc. Nature doesn't always make great sense.

Yeah and it's always the poor women that seem to have to suffer the bad designs.

This. The bigger any unneeded appendage is (peacock's tail, baboons arse, out boobs) the more we signal, "I'm soooo strong I can afford to carry these around, mate with me and you'll have strong children".
