I don't think I would be in favor of my wife doing this (I almost said support this :)), but if it was important to her, I wouldn't go overboard in trying to stop her. I guess I would want to know the reasons, but I would also expect that everyone's reasons are different.

If Lola says she wanted to have the surgery, her husband is comfortable with it, the doctor was able to do the surgery well, and everything turned out fine, why should we question her?

This discussion is almost enough to make me change my signature.... but not quite enough. :D

Sure it's about being insecure. Why else would people get them done? It's because of the fascination that our culture has with huge boobies, and if you don't have them, then you feel insecure about it. I'm curious to know what the other reasons would be, except for things like cancer etc...

how about because girls do not want to have to buy 75$ push up bras to fill out normal women's sized tops and dresses. because they don't want to shop in the little girls deptartment anymore.

Does that make a guy whos trains x5 a week to 'look better' a clear sign that he is superficial also?

the people that are saying if a chic gets fake boobs would have to agree with this statement. sure it is healthy to workout, but there are excesses and people who do workout 5x/wk may have some mental issues too, but it is easier for them to say " i just like to be in shape", well a woman could say the same thing, she just wants to be in "shape"

i am still extremely surprised that it is 65% against it...

all you guys that said no, ask your wife/gf if she would object to you having a brad pitt like body even though you had to spend a lot of time in the gym and buy all kinds of vitamin supplemnts? or you wanted to look like this guy then you can see how "superficial" she is...

You can purchase many push up bras for the price of a boob job. And it doen't mean that you don't have to buy bras when you have breats enlargement.

If I knew it was only going to be a few month thing then... why not. But if it was looking long term... then no.

you assume so much. what if, like im my GFs situation, she's carrying around double-ds. They hurt her back and she wants them reduced. Would you still castigate her for her medical decision then?

massage does not help. there are no creams or potions that will work either.
And, i didnt want to get fat just to get larger breasts.

you men need to get it through your head that it is NOT about being insecure. :roll:

Yes, yes it is. There's nothing else stemming for a woman's desire to get them. In your case you said "Most women have them why shouldn't I?" Well, is that not insecurity about yourself? There was no medical condition that caused you to need the surgery, you were in plenty fine health, you just desired larger breasts.

Oh geeze, you are SO right. i give up.
I want them beacuse i want everyone to oogle me. As a matter of fact, i will tell the truth finally... i am looking at getting into porn. that is why i got it done.

...is that what the non-implant crew want to hear? I have no self esteem. I have body image issues.
you figured me out. :( :roll:

Don't let them get to you, Lola. You made the decision that was right for you and your husband agrees. No one else gets a vote.

lola don't listen to these people who don't have a clue.

come on all you guys that love to look at the pr0n or look at women that have nice bodies with proportinally sized breasts, why don't we bring up the male version of boob jobs - the pen!s pumps, enhancements??? come on guys lets talk about that since everybody has the joy of talking all this sh!t about women....

what about cialis, viagra??? in the case of men, it is all about self esteem so quit judging because if you had some issue (regardless of whether it was mental, physical, or you just couldn't last more than a 2 pump chump) where your woody wouldn't get wood, i am sure you would be talking to the doc to get some of these drugs, or even an implant and doubt you would admit it

our society is so f*cked up that if a women wants breast implants she is shallow, but if a man wants a drug induced woody, that is all good....wtf???? hypocrites

Reject it. I believe a person should improve their body naturally. Now I am not a boob guy anyway, but all the plastic surgery stuff to me is nothing but living a lie. Now I am not opposed to like liposuction or stomach stapling to help people lose weight, but any and all implants I am against.

I'm against boob jobs but whatever else wants they can have.

There really isn't that many excesses to working out imo, unless your doing illegal substances or really OVER DOING the supplements. I use to train up to 10x a week (double sessions in a day) but my training isn't for cosmetic reasons as I'd sure as hell be a lot bigger then I am currently if I worked that angle. I do it to compete in my sport (Olympic style weight lifting). I just love the competition feeling and competitive nature of it. If I could pay to look better I wouldn't as I don't care for that. If I could pay to 'lift more' I wouldn't do that. I love the feeling of training and progress that I did it. No amount of £££ will give you that and it is one of my passions in life :cool:

The ex didn't care about my body. She just loved it and has mentioned that I was getting too big to hug. Well thats a side effect of training. She was with me when I was quite a lot thinner also and was with me for me.

It is just a preference bob4432 that people want. I'd prefer it if my SO didn't get a boob job. If she wanted it and there was no other way I'd have to let her do it; but not that I could stop her. I'd just advise her not too. But what anyone else wants to do to themselves is what they want to do. If they want an opinion they will get an opinion. If not they won't get my opinion :thumbsup:

Koing

PS if she wanted a breast reduction because it was hurting her back I would support her in that, as it is causing her physical pain and she can't get rid of it. Well training could help but I don't know to what degree as I don't have breasts...but on the flip side if her having smaller breasts is causing her mental pain and getting breasts implants would ease the mental pain...

The guy has a condition that means he can't get an erection. The womans breasts still do their function.

I suppose the man could live without intercourse but what about his quality of life? But then what about the womans quality of life with smaller breasts?

There are literally thousands of people who disagree with you. Either you have felt ones that are recently done, are too big for the person's frame, or suffered from CC.

My wife also has implants saline under the muscle. They look fantastic. They feel fantastic. She has had them for 10 years and is breast feeding now and 2 before as well. She got them done before we were together and sold her car to do so. It was a '90 CRX SI. I bet that CRX does not look nearly as good as my wifes chest does. Money well spent! $5800 in 1996 dollars (she had the best guy in town do them)

Oh and young ladies thinking about it and wanting to have children as well. We recommend the under the muscle cause when your done nursing you breasts will probably go back to pre-breastfeeding shape. No saggy or "lunch bag" look going on. ;)

Don't be a hater on large breasts most of these nerds will NEVER experience the differance anyhow. And minds are too warped by seeing too big of ones in all the porn they say they don't look at.

Don't get me wrong I did know her before the augmentation and would have still married her no question, but it was for her and it seems to me %50 mental and %50 physical in reasons why she got them. And it made her happy.

Make sure you get an expert job or she will be unhappy!

i couldn't help but laugh at the bold comment. that is $$$ that definatel appreciated :)



also, i wish i knew the demographics of the people reporting. are the ones that say yes either black, white or hispanic and the ones that say no asian or indian(from the country india)?

i will admit to some that there are the girls that want them for the wrong reasons, but those are in the pr0n industry they you say you don't look at as stated by EXman.

And that is pretty much the definition of being insecure...ie shopping in the little girls dept makes you feel bad, due to social pressures and personal insecurities...and the same is basically true for the bra thing...if you don't want to spend the money, don't buy it. You'll not be thought less of for your chest size by anyone who matters, so your purchas to fit a social stigma is a sure sign of insecurity once again.

*shrug* I'm not attacking you, merely pointing out that the statements you make support his comment about insecurity, not refute it.

i can see what you are saying, but i am just making a point about the different sets of "accepted"conditions between the sexes. if a 75yr old male can't get it up because he is old, there is a "accepted medical" remedy, ie a pill, where if a woman wants larger breast the way to fix that is a augmentation, but that part does not seem to be so accepted, especially here.

Just picutre me screaming this because i am DONE trying to make people see a different point of view...

i was annoyed by it. it didnt make me feel bad. i felt annoyed. what the HELL kinds of social pressures come with not being able to fit into tops that I LIKE... not my husband, not random people in a magazine... ME.
In all honesty, i usually never wore bras if i didn't have to, but unless i wanted to spend big bucks to have clothes made for me, i had to get a push up bra to fill in any sort of clothing that appealed to me. Some people actually like looking nice and having clothes that fit. :roll:
GAH! stop digging trying to find reasons that women get this done for self esteem or insecurity issues or that just because they have the oppertunity to do something because they want to makes them wrong.

I am not self absorbed at ALL, but i can guarentee that if you saw me in real life, if you didn't know who i was, you would stare at my chest if i walked by and would have no idea that i had a BA.
