Breast enlargements are expensive procedures and, as is all surgery, inherently risky. Additionally bigger boobs are an investment which will yield increasingly diminishing returns and will speed up the coming of that inevitable day when your boobs will turn against you, either by sagging or going cancerous. Also most women gain weight in their chests anyway, so if you have put on a few pounds - as most of America has - your breasts are probably bigger than they would have been at a lesser weight already. Finally, sticking saline pouches into your mammary tissue can interfere with your ability to nurse a child - basically the point of having breasts in the first place.
Honestly fake boobs are only good as an attraction/self confidence builder for about 10 years tops, and if you limit the number of people who get to see you naked, there are cheaper, easier, safer ways to make your figure more attractive - like buying a wonderbra or making an appointment with a good tailor. Alternatively you could work on making other parts of you - physical or otherwise - more outstanding.
But here is Debrahlee Lorenzana to tell us why getting a (2nd!) boob job is such a smart move:
Dear Debrahlee, here is some free advice: Don't participate in the filming of your plastic surgery adventures, then go out and effectively use your plasticized assets to distract men in the workplace, then file a lawsuit when they fire you for being distracting, then go out and do more publicity touring pretending that your look is just an accident of nature and you can't help being the way you are, and why can't men just deal with it? Since, after all, there is nothing that says business like DD's squeezed into a tight turtleneck, is there?
In any case, what you had to begin with was good enough if you had worked it appropriately and sought your level. Now the entire world knows that your ambition in life is to look like a Playboy Playmate and hook a rich husband sucker who will give you the world (until you decide you can do better and move on). To clarify, however, what makes you think that your rich husband sucker will want to pay in ten years to have those Ziploc baggies pulled out of your chest so your back can stop aching? Or for the physical therapy/chiropractor visits to fix what your vanity and greed artificially created in the first place? Maybe he will still want you to look like a(n aging) Playboy Playmate. I mean, that is what he is paying for, right? That seems to be the deal you are outlining.
Don't be like Debrahlee. This is not going to play out for her in quite the way she was hoping. The fact that she is single 7 years after this surgery indicates that breast augmentation is no magic solution.

It's to the point with these fake tits where they don't even interest me as sexual objects. I'm not a huge porn watching guy, but fake tits just do less for me than a natural B Cup does. I end up noticing the surgical scars more than anything.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks good in a sweater I'll give you that much, but once the sweater is off... hmmmm. Long term you just know that it's all going to turn medical on you.
What Athol Kay said! That, and big boobs just don't look good on certain body types anyway.
ReplyDeleteI just clicked over from Dave in Hawaii's blog and ended up reading through all of your posts. Your blog is great. If we were in the same room I'd give you a high five. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThis woman is on a crash course to disappointment. She only has a few years until her 30's, and it get's much harder to find a man after that.
ReplyDeleteBig Jay - Welcome and thanks!
ReplyDeleteCan't argue with any of it. You have to love the starting image for the video with her holding the two pieces of fruit though!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I just started my own blog, and my first post is on how to field strip a baby. Feel free to visit and share your own thoughts.
GudEnuf - She's 33 now. The surgery was 7 years ago. She hasn't bagged Mr. Moneybags yet, thus the lawsuit. So your summary is quite accurate.
ReplyDeletedalrock - the fruit montage really was something, wasn't it?
I think this is another case where women overrate the importance of a specific feature regarding attractiveness to men. It isn't that they don't matter, but I think women misunderstand their importance because they are such an attention getter for men. We notice them, and you notice us noticing them. But they aren't as strong an attraction point as women probably suspect.
ReplyDeleteI just double checked, and Roissy appears to agree with me on his "dating market value" page. Feet aren't listed, and perfect breasts are worth a total of 3 points. Age, weight, and facial beauty each swamp breasts in his formula. A perfect score on personality questions 25-27 would have the same positive impact as a perfect score on the two questions on breasts.
It's interesting about breasts - women are quite invested in having an appropriate amount. Girls who develop early and prolifically often become shy and embarrassed about their breasts. And girls who develop late and less prolifically can feel equally at a loss. I've never thought breasts were a substitute for a pretty face; I'd be interested in hearing other women's thoughts on this.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Roissy scale, I read it once and was so depressed by it I nearly called a therapist to work out the crippling self-esteem issues it produced.

ReplyDeleteRoissy is brutal, and that page is probably the harshest. Notice that I didn't actually link to it. I haven't read all of the comments, but I don't recall any of the guys arguing that he under rated breast size. My point is, he has no incentive to lie. He isn't trying to spare any women's feelings. Women are brutal to other women about their breasts specifically. Guys really do notice them, and we are attracted to them. But not to the degree that women place importance on them. Sorry if I ruined your day by reminding you of that page though! I couldn't think of a better way to reinforce my argument.
FYI, I have a new blog post you might like (I hope you don't mind my posting this). The post is on "Grey Divorce" (part 1 of a 3 part series).
I agree with you. Roissy is brutal and he has no reason to lie. He is an entertaining writer, and I share his political cynicism. I also understand why, given the increase in female bad behavior, he prefers to view women as sexual objects for his (and other men's) use instead of people in their own right with failings and feelings and value outside of the bedroom. But that's a bit too boiled down and reduced for my taste.
ReplyDeleteI was just kidding about the therapy. Women like me may have no value in Roissy's schema, but I know my place in the world and feel fairly confident I am not an oxygen suck.
Where do you FIND these videos?!? LMAO, this is embarrassing......
ReplyDeleteMy Husband loves my fake tits! Don't be a hater...lol
ReplyDeleteI was pregnant and/or nursin for 10 years until march. I'm getting silicone implants next month. They don't need to be replaced every 10 years. My husband and I are very excited. I think they are a wonderful option for women whose breasts have worked hard doing their God given job.
