Darn, I wanted to chime in on the 'boob' talk. Psh.efoto said:Edit: I am actually quite interested to hear what some women have to say about this. The question I mean, what they like on a guy....afterall, this is the hetero thread so them commenting on their attractions to the female body would be quite misplaced, and I would hate to offend anyone as I know some people would hate to hear that
I'm sort of not the norm when it comes to what's attractive on a man. I really really love strong arms. I'm not talking 'Arnold' big-- but nice, muscular arms. Something to do w/ the thought that he could just throw me around or pin me down, I suppose.
Or lift me up (say we're in a crowd at a concert and I must must must get the attention of a band member ). Oooh, and then a dress/ collared shirt w/ the sleeves rolled up right at the peak of the biceps w/ some of those triceps peeking through-- yummmay.I'm not really into butts, pecs, or abs. I mean, if a guy has nice ones great, if not, that's ok... but then again, I don't really think my bf fits into any of the above mentioned. I figured we were talking 'in general' say, if we're at the beach who we'd turn our heads to look at, right?

Thanks, I happen to be 6' 8". So I do prefer tall women. There do seem to be more of them now at least here in Boston due to all the colleges. I had a high school teacher that said she would kill me if I didn't marry a tall woman. She was 5' 11", you guys marry short women and leave nothing for us. She would be very pleased, my wife is 6' 1".

I <3 (little hear thingy) love you, well done. I am working on my arms however thsoe are quite hard to build honestly. I have a nice stomach and a deceint overall build, however my arms are small in comparison to the rest of me which bothers me in various ways. I can still bench well over my body weight, so I am proud of that however my arms are still small. I guess they deal with performance and not show....sad me
Feel free to comment on the boob talk, no one is holding you back. I would actually love you hear your opinion of the "boob talk"....so feel free to share. If you ever get in the GR, MI area, look me and I'll buy you a tall brew deviolt76, I like you a lot (but not in a creepy kill-your-bf / steal-you sort of way, just a buy-you-a-brew way
)
i think it's funny how much time is spent discussing the male body in this thread.
this being the hetero thread.

Yes... men talking about men, so why not women talking about women, gosh darn it?gwuMACaddict said:i think it's funny how much time is spent discussing the male body in this thread.

Thanks, efoto, I think you're awful swell, too. Doubt I'll ever be that north or that far into the 'midwest,' but ya never know. I say every MR member should meet up for a huge MR international thingiemajiggie @ Cupertino-- we can swarm the Company Store and then the people of age can all go and have a 'tall one.'
As for boobies... yummie. I like boobs on a woman based on the proportions. I do agree that for the most part, C cups and larger are pretty big on most women... However, there are different sized/shaped women, and some of them can handle double Ds w/out looking like they're doing harm to their backs.
If I were to get implants I'd probably go for a very full B or a smaller C cup-- any larger and I'd look like a cheesy 'exotic' pornstar. Gag. Boobies are so soft and pretty... and squishy. Nipples are fun, too. Okay, yeah, my attempt at boob-talk was weak sauce.
I give up.
Ergh. Nothing turns me off faster than bolt-on body parts.efoto said:
I mean why would... it just... oh confound it. I just don't see the bigger is better attraction here atall.
There are parallels to breasts on women as the most protruding sex 'organ' as a penis is a man's... and so come now, it is the most conspicuous way to emphasize one's sexuality, one's attractiveness per se.CanadaRAM said:
Plus, a lot of people don't feel the need for bigger (as better)-- but ask anyone who is considered 'smaller than avg,' and deep down there are feelings of inadequacy. At least those stick-thin, waify types can claim their <7% body fat as the reason for having little to no boobage, but what about the rest of us smaller-breasted women?
One BIG (no pun intended) advantage to having smaller breasts is that Mr. Gravity will pay less attention to you as Mr. Time has his way with you.devilot76 said:There are parallels to breasts on women as the most protruding sex 'organ' as a penis is a man's... and so come now, it is the most conspicuous way to emphasize one's sexuality, one's attractiveness per se.

Myself, I like 'em all... A cups to DD cups, they're all good. The most important thing, though, is how everything integrates together... face, boobs, legs, ass, torso, eyes, mind, soul.
But, I'm not in favor of cosmetic surgery. I'd much rather see a beautiful woman with nice-looking A cup breasts than the same woman with artificial C cups.
Remember, in the end its about personality, not boob size, just because she has nice boobs doesn't mean she isn't a total bitc-... female dog...
Its just that boobs are one of the things I notice first when seeing her...

Well i did briefly mention boobs earlier... doesn't that count?devilot76 said:Yes... men talking about men, so why not women talking about women, gosh darn it?
...they do come bigger than that without looking ridiculousclayj said:
....obviously this depends on the band size.It's funny reading other people's takes on big boobs... and what is actually considered "big". I prefer bigger boobs myself, as long as they're real and in proportion with the rest of the body. I'm not talking about ridiculous glamour model/porn star proportions. I hate the silicone-enhanced look.
As for what i find attractive in a man...hmm, that's hard (no pun intended, honest
)
^ LOL what do men wear where you live?!! I don't find it that easy to spot those thingsdevilot76 said:
It's more difficult to describe what's attractive about a man's body. I suppose ideally I'd go for a tall(ish) guy... let's say 5'11' to 6'3"... i'm not really into bulging pecs or rippling muscles but a subtly defined chest and toned arms are a turn-on, as is a cute bum. Man-breasts and beer bellies are a definite no-no! Long toned legs would be nice too (why do men have such short legs?). Facially... cute eyes and smile, clean shaven or slightly rugged (no big beards), dark hair. ...Not too much to ask is it?
No, seriously... All of the above would be "ideal"... but [here comes the disclaimer] I'm not that shallow... I rate intelligence and personality as FAR more desirable qualities than looks, but such was the topic of discussion here.
Crikes, I'd say a B to C was pretty small (the average in the UK has gone from a C to a D in recent years); perhaps US sizes are different. A's are bee-stings...
M&S go up to a G in most of their sizes now (that's DD, E, EE, F, FF, G) for those following at home. And they start at the small band sizes (30, 32 inches). I'd say boobs were only really huge when they hit the E level...
Big boobs look bigger still on short women since the hourglass is more defined than on long-waisted tall women. But yeah, I'm below average on the height factor (5'3") and way above average on the boobs (tho only a 32-34" band)... so I kinda agree! Never had any complaints on that front though
I don't mind men glancing at my chest (it is kinda hard to miss) but I hate the leers when guys sit deliberately staring at my cleavage when they have absolutely no intentions and are just being sleazy...
As far as a guy's assets go, I've always favoured girth over length...

I read an article recently that said the average British woman is a size 16 (that's a US 12) and about a 36C. The average British vital statistics these days are 39 - 34 - 40.5. In the 1950s the average was 37 - 27.5 - 39. Which means as a nation we've gained over 6 inches on our waistlinesApplespider said:Crikes, I'd say a B to C was pretty small (the average in the UK has gone from a C to a D in recent years); perhaps US sizes are different.

I'm happy to say I haven't... I'm still very much closer to the 1950s hourglass shape.This article also said how many retailers these days are cutting clothes to fit our ever expanding waistline (and the rest). A size 10 (US 6) these days would fit someone who just a few years ago would have been a 12 (US 8).
The problem I find of course as a result of this is that i'm a VERY awkward size/shape to buy for.

Where to start....
(are the Brit sizings different here? G!?) It certainly is about the complete package however, because there are some glamor-girls with zero personality, as well as some not-stand-outers (how do I put that nicely?) that are lovely people and I enjoy them immensely.
, exactly. Girth over length, interesting. I'm glad not everyone favors the....well nevermind . I prefer mine average, because that's what I have and I'm not paying for anything else

I would never pay for them with my money, I was simply stating that if she was really drawn to getting them I wouldn't stop her as long as they stayed "normal" in size. I much prefer real to enhanced but it isn't my body, so who am I to say no?CanadaRAM said:
The gravity/time comments were classic, thanks. I will gladly accept them all (I can't be picky) however I admittedly get a little lost with large C's or biggerclayj said:

What is the greatest or least age that you would consider dating? (perhaps relative to your age, perhaps not)
And on a separate note, the same question but not dating....just....you know ???
When I was out at the bar last night my friend C offered a ruling of "half your age plus seven" as being the minimum for anything, dating or otherwise. His theory is that it doesn't get too young (especially for the younger crowd as it can get dangerous below certain ages ). So basically, it saves the drinking crowd (21) from trouble by stating 18 (I'll add the one) as the minimum, which, imagine that, is the minimum for 21 legally Just curious on some other thoughts from you all, especially on the ceilings you might have.

i wouldn't say i have a ceiling or basement on age.
i'm 24 and my girlfriend is 30. it made us hesitant at first (primarily based on others' perceptions) but if you hung out with us you wouldn't know it (besides my ridiculous immaturity and dirty jokes).
i think that more than a set age, it's a matter of where you are in life. my girlfriend and i come across some hurdles where she is obviously further along in her career/life, whereas i'm basically starting out.. but we recognize it as something that we want to take on together, and so it's not a big deal besides the occasional disagreement/frustration.

I'll head over and read those to get some different insights.
In the early days I flirted around in the A cup crowd. A guy I worked with at the time showed me a picture of his girlfriend, who was a C cup or so, and I made the comment that big boobs kind of scared me. To this he said, "God's greatest gift to man is the C cup. Someday you will be with a girl with big boobs and you will understand."
My experience since then has proven him wrong. God's greatest gift to man is the D cup.
