Men: What do you think of breast implants?

Tagged as: Big Questions, Health<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (15 June 2014) 15 Answers - (Newest, 16 June 2014)
A female United States age , anonymous writes:

I just got silicone breast implants and I think they are going to be great. A great improvement over my asymmetrical southbound breasts. Quite large on my rather small frame, but nothing that would draw stares or look like a porn star. Just a natural look. (800cc's)

My question is for the males.

Do men like breast implants?

Or do men really object to breast implants?

Or do they object (but secretly like them)?

Or are they converted to loving them by a good experience with someone who has them? (or vice versa)

When dating, should I tell a man, or wait till they ask? Or never say a thing if they don't inquire?

To male anonymous:

Be sure to tell that to women who have tubular breasts, some who have absolutely ZERO breast tissue, I mean nil, who feel they look like a teenage boy instead of a middle aged woman. Tell it to someone who is asymmetrical, or deflated and sagging from breastfeeding. Mention your thoughts to someone with Poland syndrome or pectus excavatum or pectus carinatum too. Even to those just wanting to be bigger or SMALLER.

If you were to go visit a reputable surgeon's site and see before and after photos I think you'd know how grateful these women are at a surgeon's amazing work.

Just food for thought....

Correction: I meant to say ravaged, not ravished. Lol

I don't think I am the one who implied that women ARE their implants?

As for balding, I have no problem with it whatsoever.

My father balded very young, granted he looked a bit older than he was a first, but later in life he anyways looked younger because of it!

I have a gal friend who always seeks out bald guys (on dating sites). I just doesn't matter to me.

Ok, call it insecurity if you wish. Then show me that person that is 100% happy with everything about themselves, who never had any enhancements or corrections made, never had braces, never colored their hair, never got a tattoo, and we'll call THAT person secure. : )

Just my perspective but i think breast implants are completely unnecessary, as you should feel happy enough in your own skin to be as you were meant to be. However i feel they are fine if used for reconstruction after an accident or breast cancer. Just my opinion but each to their own. You don't like a girl based on her boobs that massively shallow you should like her for who she is.

A male reader, CMMP United States +, writes (16 June 2014):

I often hear people say that implants/hair plugs/face lifts/etc aren't done because the person is insecure and I disagree. If you were totally happy with your appearance there'd be no reason to change anything.

HOWEVER, I think a little insecurity and the desire to look as good as you can is 100% natural and not an issue.

I'm balding and it was hard at first. I was definitely insecure. I'm fine with it now as it's never really negatively affected me but in all honesty, I get very bored with my haircut options. So if there was a way to regrow my hair I'd do it.

It's a little insulting to imply that women with implants ARE their implants. Are men with hairplugs just a fancy head of hair?

Tisha-1 agony auntTrust me, I know all about body changes post 50. :)

If you're not insecure and are happy with the way you look, who cares if there are a few men out there who might not like silicone? Why assume the worst about the men you will meet? Assume the best, that they will like you just as you are. If they don't, well it's their loss! :)

Tisha-

I don't know how old you are, but body changes do start taking place in mid life. If I am able to correct some of them, I'm going to do it.

Just as men seek treatments for baldness, or someone, young or old gets braces. It's not so much insecurity but rather enhancement or correction.

I'm secure because I know I'm not the stereotypical 'fake' person who has implants. Most of the women getting implants were simply ravished by breast feeding and just deflated. Many other conditions can be corrected as well.

I was just to figure out if males still have the negative stereotype of someone with implants or if it might have changed.

No one even bats an eye at them. They look like DD's in clothes. I also dress modestly. FYI, you are correct that 800cc are the largest silicone implants available, but saline can typically go from small to 2000cc and beyond.

I have lots going for me. I own my home free and clear. I am gainfully employed. I am loyal and generous. I volunteer. I visit nursing homes, I rescue cats. I am not indulgent, no addictions. World traveler (90 countries). I'm petite but honestly only average looking. GREAT sense of humor (dry/wry).

So, no implants aren't the center of my world. I just like having a nice full, even breasts. And I'm much closer to 50 than 60.

Tisha-1 agony auntAnd just to add, if you are happy and healthy and feel good about yourself, that will be what you attract. The breast implants may filter out some dating candidates, but what matters most will be your own attitude.

A female reader, Tisha-1 United States +, writes (15 June 2014):

Tisha-1 agony auntWhat an odd question, I googled 800cc silicone breast implants and apparently they are the largest silicone implants available. Any larger and you have to do saline implants apparently. So you have basically the XL version of breast implants. I guess it's a matter of personal preference how large an implant should be relative to frame size.

And so, I expect some men will be fine with them. Some men will do not like large breasts so they will probably not be all that keen.

It'll come down to the individual man and what his tolerance for implants might be. No way of knowing, really, all men are individuals as are all women.

If you are close to 60 and have gravity-defying breasts in the XL size, I expect a sensible man will recognize that what's in them now probably hasn't been with you for the past 40 years. I expect there may be some men who object to implants so fervently that you'll be written off before the dating begins.

Do you have something else going for you besides extra-large silicone implants?

Honeypie agony auntI don't think you OWE any man to "confess" that you have implants.

IF they make YOU happy then that is all that matters. IF he asks then you can choose to tell him or not.

I'm not a guy, but I am a female that has breast implants. I had them done one year ago after being with my boyfriend for 3 years. I did it for me and not for a guys opinion.

My boyfriend didn't mind my asymmetrical breasts and he doesn't mind my implanted symmetrical breasts. He loves me for more than just my breasts. He wanted me to be happy and feel comfortable and therefore he didn't mind whether my breasts contained implants or not.

You shouldn't feel like you have to confess anything, if somebody truly likes you for you then they should respect your decision to have Implants and be happy that you feel more comfortable and are happier because of that decision.

I wouldn't tell them that you had breast implants, if they want to be shallow and judge you because of that then in my eyes they are just as bad as the guys that judge you if you have small breasts and won't date you for that reason.

It shouldn't matter what size or shape your breasts are and whether there real or fake. Your personality and happiness should over ride that. Anybody that doesn't want to date you because of your implants clearly doesn't deserve to date you anyway.

A male reader, Sageoldguy1465 United States +, writes (15 June 2014):

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntSome men are "leg" men... others are "breast" men.... (some may well be both!). Psychologists tell us that this may stem from whether or not our Mothers picked us up (hence, those lads became "breast" men), or didn't pick us up (and we touched her legs... hence "leg" men).

Myself? I love a beautiful pair of legs... and am not much enamored of breasts, regardless of their size, symmetry or other attirbutes. AND, I am not much in favor of women having their breasts augmented, regardless the medium (silicon, saline, foam rubber....).

So.... this is one guy's opinion....

I wouldn't tell him, there's no reason to "confess".

All men are different. Some like them as fake looking as possible. I like them when they look very natural otherwise I don't find it attractive. But who can complain about breast implants if they look awesome (whatever that might mean).

I also happen to believe that men are much more accepting of natural and imperfect boobs than they get credit for. After two kids I still love my wife's.

A female reader, chigirl Norway +, writes (15 June 2014):

chigirl agony auntIm not a man, but I have a fairly good idea about the answer to this question even so. There is no difference from silicone breasts and natural breasts when it comes to mens preference in women. Because men DO see women as more than the sum of their body parts. If a man likes you he likes you because of YOU and never because of your breasts, be they natural or not.

That being said, if you want to look solely on whether or not men prefer one or the other, you would get various answers, because some will like it, some wont. But mostly they wont care. Because like I said above, a woman is not just the sum of her body parts, and men who are serious about a relationship will never choose a woman based solely on her breasts. Hence it is irrelevant whether they are silicone or not. What matters is that YOU like your breasts, and men tend to like women who like themselves more than they like women who dislike themselves.

Should you tell a man you have breast implants? No, not until you get to the point in your relationship that you are going to have sex. Then you could let him find out for himself. Or you could tell him in advance, of course, but this is something I would classify as private and for him to discover once you're that intimate.

It's like asking a guy whether or not he's circumcised. It's not something you share on a date, even though women can have a preference for one or the other. That's something you find out once you get intimate enough, and it's the exact same thing, because circumcision is also just cosmetic.

I must say, my first time being with a guy who was circumcised I didn't find out until we were intimate, and even though I can say I would prefer an uncircumcised penis, it's not like it really matters. All in all, I liked him for him, not for his foreskin. Same as any man will like you for you, not for your breast tissue.
