Why are men drawn to a woman's breasts?

    Ok, I will take a chance of being flamed here.

    Could it be because they are highly visible, and many women like to show them off? Just don't be too obvious in your admiration, or they may get angry! :rolleyes:

    That said, I have found many other parts of women extremely attractive. A woman with a nice body can accentuate an area with jewelry, clothing or a tasteful tattoo and make it very attractive. Tummies, ankles, lower back, neck, shoulders, whatever! I even instantly fell in love (ok LUST!) with a woman because she had the most incredible blue eyes. My nickname for her was even "Pretty Eyes". Sounds dumb, but she thought it was wonderful.

    I think our lust for breasts is partially biological, but a lot of it is social. :cool:

    I think, that's because society is made by mammals.

    HEY!!! Men aren't the only ones who like a good set of boobs! :)

    I don't know about all the sciencey stuff (it is rather hard to prove or disprove), but my own personal opinion is that because they are used during sex. And since they get used then, and they are so visible, and we are as a whole a highly sexual species, they get noticed.

    As Darkwolf noted, many of us like to display them one way or another. And if they are prominately displayed, they get noticed.

    The one thing that can blow my whole theory out of the water is that in the 20's, breasts were not so desirable. Look at all the 'attractive'
    women from then. The flat-chested far exceeded that not so flat-chested. So, is it conditioning/exposure (no pun intended) that drives it? Maybe. Since breasts were not 'featured' then and they were not desired, and the are 'featured' now AND they are desired, maybe that is all there is to it. Who can really say for sure.

    I still think it is the 'obvious sex toy' idea of mine, but thats just me.

    I partially agree with Ejsmith and Darkwolf.

    It is however impossible to have a social drive without actual cause of biological or mental nature. So, the true beginning reason is lost and the socially spurred ;) drive lasts. Men are supposed to go for breasts, so women expose them (and don't you try to deny because it's pointless) or make them attract attention in some other way - just see how clothing is designed.

    Apart from that, breasts constitute a relatively large part of chest, visible from the front and different to its male counterpart - that's reason enough. However, at this level they only lead, but don't overwhelm. What makes them so particularly attractive in men's eyes is the taboo around them. If for example next season brought a major topless fad, breasts' relative attractivity would drop significantly.

    That's one thing. The other one, size, is typically biological. Generally the lower a man is on the ladder of social status and education, the bigger breasts he likes - with unnumerous exceptions. Also most teenage boys are driven to extremely large ones.

    Heh, but if someone wants my opinion, the only two things I like large in woman's body are eyes. The bigger the better to look at oneself in :)
    Ah, and of course *really* long fingers... But I'm fairly non-standard ;)

    Breasts are just nice. They're like pillows.

    On a side note I got flashed at the Bad Religion show last night.

    nice round boobs are a sign of health, and fertility. We naturally want to choose partners who are healthier so that our offspring have a better chance of surviving. its in our genetics =]

    *strangles MoN*

    *resurrects MoN*

    And all women don't like to show them off or what the 'bleep'. I am actually ashamed of mine. Grr. I hate having breasts bigger than normal. Drat. Grr.

    I'd whack the guy, if he was staring at my breasts. Really. I'd dare to do it. :D

    (Karl, don't take this crap seriously. I know, you're a guy, BUT DON'T TAKE MY CRAP SERIOUSLY.)

    It's very much like how a woman's brain works: expose them and act like a holy virgin martyr once a man looks anywhere below her face :rolleyes: It's so childish and immature. In psychology it's sometimes called rape game. Heh, I'm not so much into games. Well, unless a good piece of roleplaying ;)

    [​IMG] This is a seriously worrying topic :grin:

    but what's funniest is at our school the REALLY tall girls and the male teachers who have to discipline themselves to look up at the pupils face and not straight forward :lol:

    [​IMG] Virne ... don't you think propositions like that should be taken care of in PM's? ;) (Virne, I knew you were kidding ... just joking back)

    Eze, if you need someone to beat off all the young men now interested in you because of your "my anatomy is annoying proportioned" comment, let me know. I have a +5 holy sword, +10 vs. horney pagans :good:

    Oh, and Shell ...
    I hope no one is taking this thread THAT seriously.

    Breasts are socialized as being somewhat taboo in our culture. Other pieces of the anatomy can be similarly socialized -- I have heard that in some South American locations, Butts are the big thing. In China, it's small feet, which lead to all that foot-breaking business. In some African cultures, it's long necks, so we get the ladies altering their necks with those rings until those necks are super long. It all depends on what a culture decides is sensual at the moment.

    Take skin tone. For the longest time, a pale girl was what a man wanted. Why? It meant her family was rich enough for her to be able to stay inside and do "womanly" things; she did not have to work outside. The same thing went for being plump -- it meant her family could feed her well and that she didn't have to do much manual labour. Nowadays, pale is out and tans are in, as our economic focii have changed. We also want toned women, not plump ones. It just changed.

    My wife tells me that for the first year we knew each other I had a hard time maintaining eye contact :D

    Well, of course you should work on self control, discipline and general holiness :holy: , but:

    Disclaimer: We're not speaking about convinient outfit or just some one or two buttons undone to breathe more easily, but typically revealing outfit ;)

    So: if they are intentionaly exposed so much as to attract men's sight, you do exactly what the girl/woman wants to achieve. Period. If she starts complaining about all those man looking, then she has personality/attitude problems. Period. Of course unless you're a typical horny animal that just can't behave - as for example there's much difference between looking at and looking into ;) .

    @Mathetais: you surely have 18 dexterity if you're still alive playing with *that* kind of holy sword :shake:

    If women would not like men to admire their features, a whole fashion industry, which is aimed at producing clothes to put the visiual advantages of women in the spotlight would not exist.

    Really, there's nothing more annoying, than to hear a woman say, oh, I have to buy me some summer clothes. We still have some time. Let's enter the shop............ 3 hours
    later ..... Does it make me look fat ? Is it do indecent ? Oh, so nice, but too expensive. Oh, this is just wonderfull, but have I the right belly to wear it ?

    :doh: :doh: :doh:

    I mean, I like what they buy, but...
