To have 2 Dcs be fairly slim with largish norks which happen to be natural and to be slightly miffed at the number of grown women often with their partners commenting on my 'fake tits' or 'boob job' and looking down their noses at me?

It's just happened again at the supermarket and I'd say it does about 50% of the time, particularly when dcs are with me which is just great obviously.

I've got nothing against boob joobs but why do people have to assume they are fake & sneer?

As far as my shape goes, I've probably got a good two stone on Posh (just under 9st) but my waist is quite small in comparison to said boobs, but then I've got widish hips too so I look in proportion I think.

Should I get t-shirts printed saying '100% real' or wip my bra off in front of said women and let gravity prove the point for me?

I probably am b u because I shouldn't care what comments complete strangers make, just needed to vent really!

I'm 32f ! and always wear bravissimo or rigby and peller

InSearchOfLostKeys · 13/01/2009 20:44

I'd love to buy R &P Mabs , slightly out of my price range I think!

I'm 32D too usually (although just now 34DD as 6mth post birth)
I find it a total pig of a size to get anyway - never any in this size!!!!!!!

MABS · 13/01/2009 20:53

only buy r&b once a year, that's my limit,actually sorta prefer bravissimo

InSearchOfLostKeys · 13/01/2009 20:57

just noticed they are having a sale, will have a nose!

OP posts:
LittleBella · 13/01/2009 21:01

Are R&P worth it?

I noticed there was a sale there the other day but was too scared to cross the threshhold

saggyhairyarse · 13/01/2009 21:19

They are jealous!

You could always say "Really? And I can hear too...."

CuddlysBumLooksBigInThis · 13/01/2009 21:28

Well, I would be jealous of you too but manners would prevent me from making unpleasant comments.

It's a shame they feel the need to put you down because of their insecurities.

If it makes you feel any better I would put money on the fact that both the women and their partners can tell your's are real regardless of what they say.

Desiderata · 13/01/2009 22:05

I must admit though, I'm a bit confused about the need to start this thread?

For all we know, you could be the size of a hippo. And yet you tell us you're under 9 stone (as I am), with lovely norks.

For all the overweight women out there, don't you think you're OP is a bit .... self-indulgent ?

I mean, hardly anything to moan about, surely?

What is the point of your thread, because to be honest, I don't believe that 50% of the time, people comment on your tits.

They must be very special tits for that kind of attention.

InSearchOfLostKeys · 13/01/2009 22:05

Just realised when I said 'Lucky her' in response to Pamelat that I read her post as 'I have yet to witness...' ! Don't know why?!

OP posts:
InSearchOfLostKeys · 13/01/2009 22:10

There was an incident today Desiderata, told Dh but got the usual monosyllabic reply, my best friend has heard it before & I wanted women's opinion in general as to why it may happen.

It may seem self-indulgent to you but it does happen & does piss me off.

I thought MN was somewhere people could offload from the very trivial to the very serious, was I wrong?

S1ur · 13/01/2009 22:12

I'm with Des.

Though I do love your extensive description in thread title.

I'm sure it must be annoying though possibly only as annoying as people who say I wish my bum was a bit fatter so people would stop ogling me.

Actually I do have a question - Is it just the assumption of fakeness that irritates you or the comments at all? Would it be better if 50% of people who saw you said things like "wow you have a lovely pair of knockers yer mam must be dead proud?"

InSearchOfLostKeys · 13/01/2009 22:33

Contrary to my rather attention-seeking thread title , I'm quite shy in rl and would like to avoid any sort of comments made if poss..

I suppose what I really don't understand is the need to put someone down in public in that way, so it's not about having a boob-job per se but the derogatory way it's said.

Do you think Mabs was making it up too Des? Maybe its a conspiracy to make people feel bad about themselves. We're all out to get you, you now. Mwah, ha, ha, ha...But hey I did post this in AIBU, so I can't really complain if someone says I am!

I'd love to post a pic, but somehow still preserve my anonymity, wearing a zorro mask maybe?

OP posts:
blueshoes · 13/01/2009 22:51

Just take the picture from neck down. Yes, please.

Desiderata · 13/01/2009 22:56

But posting a pic is hardly the point, Keys.

I don't doubt that that you have a fab figure. I'm 43, and I have a fab figure, which people comment on all the time. Being reasonably sang froid, I remind such admirers that I don't drive, and I clean for a living. Both factors knock off a fair few calories along the way.

I don't feel the need to start a thread about it, though. And I think it's crass to start a thread about what a fab figure you've got when, let's face it, most of our sisters ain't quite so lucky.

I'd just like to know what the fuck you're moaning about when other people have cystic fybrosis, facial warts, dysplasia, and where would you like me to stop?

You've got a great bod and a nice pair of tits. Really, in the great scheme of things, you are being very fucking unreasonable.

electra · 13/01/2009 22:57

Ignore them - they're just jealous!

InSearchOfLostKeys · 13/01/2009 22:57

Should I have anything inparticular in the pic with me? So you know it's definitely me, for instance something that one of you suggests? I'll get DD to take a pic of me tomorrow but I'll have to work out how the fark to upload one, haven't done that for ages!

OP posts:
electra · 13/01/2009 22:59

Actually I don't think keys is unreasonable - it becomes tiresome when people think they can make comments and judgements about you as though you are public property.

When I was pregnant with dd1 I got so huge that people would point and me and laugh - this really got me down and it was only for a few weeks, iyswim.

Desiderata · 13/01/2009 23:00

Oh, I don't know either, keys

InSearchOfLostKeys · 13/01/2009 23:00

I don't think my tits are fab Des, as I've said they sag and they often annoy me.

People post all sorts on MN don't they?
even in AIBU, not just about the serious stuff?

Seems whatever I say I'll offend..

OP posts:
Desiderata · 13/01/2009 23:02

So, you're tits are actually crap then?

Puppies ears?

InSearchOfLostKeys · 13/01/2009 23:04

Def on their way!
