I need help to gain confidence in my small breasts

A female age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Ok, this is kind of a stupid question. First of all, I don't live in America nor do I live in Europe. In the country I live in, men are obsessed with big breasts. They are just ideal - real or fake, they're just considered better than small ones. Honestly, men prefer fake breasts over small ones. Sure, most men don't mind if their partners have small breasts, but just that "don't mind". It's not that they like small breasts better, like some American or European men do. It's just that they settle because they can't just ask their partners to enlarge their breasts.

I know it sounds a bit extreme, of course men are not thinking "boobs" all they long, but when it comes to boobs, big is better. Men around here are into very curvy women, so having a big butt and a small waist is also ideal. Guys around here don't really like women like Paris Hilton, but Kim Kardashian would be a huge hit. That's the type of women like here.

As you can guess, I have small breasts that won't grow anymore. Sometimes I think about saving money to get a boob job - it's too expensive though, risky and I'd be embarrassed to spend that kind of money on something so vain (especially if I ever have a daughter - how would I explain that?).

All men I've been with have liked big breasts better, even my boyfriend. He has never said anything disrespectful, but I know for a fact that he prefers big boobs, and I find this a bit hard to deal with. He likes Scarlett Johansson, Salma Hayek, Monica Bellucci, etc., etc... I feel so jealous when they're on screen, or whenever a busty female shows off what they have when we're out! Guys just can't help but look at big breasts. And I feel so inferior and inadequate that sometimes I just feel like saving that money and getting them done. But that conflicts with me.

I have honestly never met a guy who prefers small breasts (AA- B range), as they all like big ones better (C, D, DD, etc.). Sigh, how can I ignore this fetish that guys have and try to feel sexy and beautiful? Honestly, it's so hard, since I'm lacking in this department and small breasts just don't cut it. Even national high-fashion models get them enlarged (unlike in other countries). I know it sounds stupid and extreme that I suffer over having small breasts, but knowing that guys just "don't mind them" doesn't make me feel better, like if they would prefer them. And i'm way past puberty, so no growth spurts left! I don't want a man to not mind my body, I want them to be absolutely thrilled and to lust after me like they lust after chesty girls! I wish my boyfriend would see me the same as he sees Scarlett or Monica...

I hate my breasts, I just don't know what to do to feel better and was wondering if maybe you guys could help me a bit in gaining confidence and ignoring this craze??

A reader, anonymous, writes (30 November 2009):

I completely understand how youre feeling as I'm 17 with small As.

But I have to agree a little with Code Warrior here.

If you choose to think men only like chesty chicks, that chesty chicks are always the ones that get lusted after the most etc. then its always gonna be true... in your mind.

Now I have to say I share basically all those thoughts of yours- I always feel angry when I see that slim models with figures similar to mine have gotten boob jobs to 'stay beautiful and sexy'- it's an insult to me and my body. It honestly pisses me off that pornstars all look completely fake and all the hurt of it is directed towards women mainly, that society basically tells us that in order to be beautiful and sexy we need to look this way kind of thing.

Except I decide to go about thinking it in a different way. Instead of letting it get me down, I allow myself to feel angry- in fact I really find all of it a great insult- and then I use it to my advantage e.g.

I say why can't small boobs be beautiful and sexy too? Why should I have to live my life feeling inadequate, not as good as the big boobed, as if guys are 'settling' for me kind of thing? WHy should I have to go about trying to 'be sexier' by attempting to make my boobs look bigger with pushup bras, pills etc.? Why should we small-boobed be so bashed and conspired against through the media?

And then I think why not?

SO I decide to love my boobs, because well... they're really gorgeous. They're perky, smooth, shapely, they SUIT me. they stay rounded out of a bra and don't sag and flop, I can wear sexy, tight fitting tops and dresses that will flatter me all over. And I refuse to wear pushups, use gel inserts etc. I pride myself on my small boobs. What's so great about big boobs anyway? The cleavage can look pretty- but once the big boobs are out of a bra- you don't get that cleavage look anymore (in fact kinda the opposite cause they go all saggy and droppy) whereas small boobs can keep that rounded shape more. So many gals are always pushing up their cleavage, choking it, showing more boob than is probably in their bra , practically shoving their boobs in people's faces and I take pride in NOT doing that- because I don't need to. I say I'm beautiful and sexy the way I am- that way God made me and no shit is gonna tell me otherwise. And as for the media and society and all those models and porn stars with boob jobs 'telling me' that 'I'm not sexy because I don't have big boobs' well I say stuff them. I don't think 'I am still sexy even though I have small boobs', I think 'I am sexy BECAUSE I have small boobs' I live my life with this thinking and it's really like slapping everything the media/society/some men/some women would say about small boobs not being as sexy- in the face. I have never continued a relationship with a guy that hasn't had a thing for small boobs- and that was just one of my exes. I'd had about 10 other exes and all have been completely in love with my A cup boobs. My current boyf espcially. :)

He has a particularly differnt outlook on big boobs than you would think. He says that there are so many big boobs everywhere in the media and cleavage being pushed up and shoved in guys faces everywhere that hes just been completely desensitized to it and it's really just the most off turning thing in the world. He always says (and it's kinda sad but I sort of agree with him) that most big busted gals seem to wear their confidence sorely in their boobs- which is pretty unattractive for guys.

Many guys I know will say they like big boobs just because it's the 'trendy' thing to say and just like the media makes us feel like we should feel bad about our small boob, the media makes guys feel like they should like big boobs better and act like that's them even when they secretly like small boobs. But I know many guys that will openly love small boobs now (mostly my exes and some other guys).

Anyway to sum up my rant- I have small boobs too and I love them so you should too. Be proud of small boobs! Represent the itty bitty titty community because it's time it was represented!

Hope I helped!

I've had a number of intimate partners of a wide variety of different shaped and sized breasts.

By far, the sexiest woman I was ever with had AA sized breasts. She was thin and they were amazing on her body.

In all honesty, I would prefer smaller breasts on a woman. Large breasts are overrated and require a good bra to look nice, but when the clothes come off they sag, which for me isn't an appealing look.

Small breasted women for the most part look sleek, lithe and sexy. Count me as a guy who's head turns when he sees a woman with small breasts wearing something tight fitting that shows her figure.

Hi, I also have small boobs. My confidence was destroyed about a year ago from a group of guys. I had been hanging out with my best friend and her boyfriend + his friends. She wanted me to come hangout with them a few weeks later but her boyfriends friends told her my boobs were to small and I wasn't worth there time. I figured they were just man whores because my friend has large c-d boobs that practically fall out of her shirt, and on top of that she wears two bras. Its agonizing to hangout with her around guys cause they all just stare at her breasts.

Anyway, I was crushed by what they said for months. I hid my boobs in sweaters and wore lightly padded bras. Until I met a man that didn't actually care for boobs, he said he preferred butts. Now, I don't think I have a nice butt at all. I explained to him my issue with boobs and he told me that any man that cares about boobs isn't worth anyone time because we can't control how are breast look. He told me all the good things about having small boobs, and helped block out all the things men say about big boobs. Finding whats good about what you have instead of focusing on what you don't have.

I've been dealing with haveing small breasts since I was 13. When I was 11 I started puberty and had the biggest boobs in the class until I started getting taller ( i grew 9 inches) and lost some weight. So by the time I was 13 I was flat as a board. By then my best friend had grew boobs and was always out to make fun of me and still does whenever I get in a swim suit or wear a tight shirt. Ive stopped hanging out with her because, well. Who wants to be around someone who will make fun of your boobs? Anyway, I'm rambling.

Just remember that there is always someone out there who will like small boobs, I think that happens once they see how big breasts look on older woman.

It took me 6 years to gain confidence in this and still I'm with a man that looks twice at the girls with big boobs. I've learned to deal with it because if there with you, and your boobs are small theirs a lot more to you than just getting someone by having big breasts.

I hope this helped some.

as a male to me the most important physical aspect in a female is her face. if her face is attractive to me then all other parts are acceptable. size of the bra is never an issue.

A female reader, Basschick Australia +, writes (20 September 2009):

Basschick agony auntWell don't be so sure you're past your growth spurt. When I was 19, my boobs were 34B. Which was pretty small to me. But in my later 20's I gained a little weight and they blossomed out to 34C, then 36C. Boobs are nothing more than extra fat in the right place. If you want your boobs to "grow" try packing on about 20 more pounds and you'll see results that don't require surgery. I know I am carrying around and extra 25 pounds (not by choice) and the only benefit I see, is my boobs got considerably larger, and so did my curves. My boyfriend loves my body but sometimes I long to be thinner again. So one word of caution, if you are stick thin right now, you may find it hard to deal with the extra curves in other places (like your butt, and having to buy bigger clothes) so be careful not to gain too much. You don't want to be unhealthy (fat)....Hope this helps you out.

Ok, male poster, I appreciate your advice, but seriously, I know men here like big breasts better. Maybe because I'm technically just coming out of my teens, but they have explicitly said so. Hell, I can even notice my dad likes them big too! Honestly, in America it may be that men don't like breast implants, but believe me, guys around here don't complain. It's not all in my mind, or that I want to blame men. I'm sure I wouldn't hate my small boobs if they were more appreciated around here. Guys here don't fancy the likes of Debra Messing, at most they think she's pretty, but (pardon my language), they don't see her as "fuckable".

A lot of Argentinian models are very famous here. Why? Because Argentina's health system covers boob job surgeries, so it's easy to get them done there. And here it's easy for them to get a job, since appearing barely clothed on TV earns you a lot of money. And many women start making more money and get more media coverage after they get breast implants. I'm not lying! It's true. And girls who have bigger breasts make a point of showing them off, and while some of them are very nice ladies, others talk behind your back calling you ugly just because you can't sport cleavage. I'm just sayin'... it's the same as men here they're obsessed with "size matters" and all, they think having a big penis really is better, and while I and most women know it's not true, they just aren't convinced (then again women aren't talking so much about how big penises are better, unlike how guys speak of boobs). And well, you can't really see penises through clothes, and they're more taboo than boobs, so they don't really appear on TV. But it's similar, little boys start worrying over penis size at about 8 years old. I don't know why, but that's the way it is.

A male reader, Jmtmj Australia +, writes (20 September 2009):

Jmtmj agony auntWell as a guy I dont think you should get surgery. Yeh, big breasts are for the most part considered attractive, but hell, I find smaller breasts really, really attractive, (even 10A) and I know atleast 5 other decent guys who would agree. Not only are they generally perkier, firmer and more shapely, but they arent going to sag with age nearly as much as larger breasts.

If you are chronically self-conscious about them for yourself and feel they would boost your self esteem greatly, make you feel more sexy and improve your life then you could consider surgery. But if you just want your partner to love and lust after your body then dont even consider surgery. Either keep looking for the right guy, or realize that everyone is different but when you fall in love with the right person, everything about them becomes more attractive. Having said all this though... can you honestly say that you love/lust after every part of your boyfriends body? Excessive hair, small penis, flabby gut, receding hairline, etc. and whatever?

Best of luck :)

mattie90 agony aunthun i have small breasts too so i know where your coming from my boyfriend absolutly loves my body and i absolutly hate it. if your boyfriend doesnt like your small chest get rid of him he doesnt deserve you anyways. also another good thing is to buy a push up bra yes its deceiving because when you take it off but you have to love yourself for who you are. i want a boob job but my boyfriend wont let me he thinks that my personality will change and that ill become egotistical which isnt true but i want it done so i can fell better about myself. but im getting used to my body im more open to my boyfriend seeing it all the time. another good thing to do is look at yourself inthe mirror everyday and tell yourself im beautiful and thats all that matters dont let what other people like get you down.

A reader, anonymous, writes (20 September 2009):

I think you need a different boyfriend if you really think yours is settling for your small breasts, or you need to get a grip and accept your body for what it is.

I understand feeling badly about the big breast thing, but I wouldn't let it affect your self confidence if you don't want to have to go through elective surgery to enlarge them.

A lot of men, even in my country like big breasts, but a lot of men don't choose a woman as a wife based on her breast size, but something much deeper.

If you want bigger boobs, then buy a pair, there is no other solution to this.

I am not suggesting it or even recommending it, but there is no solution to this other than you need to decide what it is that is important to YOU. If a man you are dating makes you feel inadequate, you don't have to change for him, you can choose to seek someone else who doesn't put that much importance on your breast size.

Really, this is an issue that is bothering you. Decide where you stand on it and then don't compromise.
