(415 posts)I know I was never particularly turned on by large breasts and honestly have never understood the fascination. many parts of a woman can be sexy, but the mind is the sexiest.
SunSeeker
(51,898 posts)If most American men were like you, American women wouldn't be disfiguring their chests with plastic surgery.
And the obsession with big breasts is definitely more prevalent among American men, particularly sexist American men. It is arguable that benevolently sexist men perceived larger female breasts as attractive because larger breast size on a woman is associated with perceived femininity. https://www.salon.com/2016/03/24/breasts_2_partner/

What would you have her do, wear a draping targa? She is clearly a big breasted woman. Please get over it.

lettucebe
(2,337 posts)and totally appropriate, at least in a dressing up sense. People used to go all glam. It's just this depressing 2020 New Year's Eve. It's more like a wake. Seriously most depressing thing I've seen for quite some time.
I'd like to think someone could have come up with something far better than this -- music is nice tho. Just my two cents.
Edit -- my comments are referring to Anderson Cooper on CNN.

Meowmee
(5,164 posts)You see it a lot in the music & acting biz and other similar areas, especially younger women usually. I personally prefer someone using their talent to advance and not giving in to possible pressure to expose as much of themselves as possible. She has an established career so maybe that is just her style and for nye, I dont know. I haven't seen pics/ performances of/ by her for years.

The Velveteen Ocelot
(116,106 posts)It probably came with a small rectangular device with a lot of buttons. One of them will turn off the power, and Ms. Carey and her outrageous boobs will instantly disappear. One of the other buttons will make the TV show something else, although there might be boobs there, too. Unless Ms. Carey is in your living room waving her inadequately-clothed boobs at you (in which case you could either offer her some more modest clothes or ask her to leave), assuming control of your TV will solve your problem.

MineralMan
(146,364 posts)However, I don't care if she shows off her physical attributes. I've seen such things before in my 75 years on this planet. Many times. Over half the adult population has them, so I don't see how anyone could not have seen women's breasts from time to time. In fact, even men, like all mammals, have breasts. So, look in the mirror after your shower, whether you are male or female. There they are.
So, you're not wrong to say that, but you might want to ask yourself why you felt the need to do so.

ARPad95
(1,671 posts)She just keeps building to an amazing crescendo.
IMO, her breasts (natural or surgically enhanced) will always take a backseat to her incredible vocal talent.

I told her that, "All women have a pretty good idea of what is their best feature and
that they will present themselves so that feature is the most prominent.
Since that is so, what i notice first is what I am intended to notice first".
I was sweating bullets until she smiled and said "That was some really good bullshit".
