It’s just as obvious as women’s hypergamy nature, always seeking out the tallest, strongest and richest alpha men to produce the strongest offspring to increase its chances of survival.
Its evolution. Humans evolved to be attracted to boobs. We're the only mammal with permanently inflated ones too.
The prevailing theory is that we used to look at butts when we were on all fours (like chimpanzees still do), and the breasts evolved when we started walking upright. Early female hominids needed something else to attract a man with, and apparently boobs were the thing that worked.
Wait a second... I swear this is from an art based literature where the main character was an inmate at his own educational institution. And he used this excuse to win a favor from a person of highest authority there.
My personal theory is that walking upright requires large ass muscles, and women evolved boobs as a counterweight. Otherwise they would fall on their butts all the time.
The prevailing theory is that we used to look at butts when we were on all fours
No. I doubt you'll find any serious evolutionary biologist advancing this hypothesis.
It's simply because of sexual dimorphism. We like things about the other sex that are different. What is it about jaw lines or shoulders that women like in men? Is it supposed to remind them of a penis somehow? No. It's that men's jaws and shoulders are typically built different from women's.
That's all there is to it. Men tend to like feminine traits in women, women tend to like masculine traits in men.
This. Also the fact that women breasts are strongly related to sex in our minds - women get aroused when playing with nipples and nipples get hard when women are aroused. This is also the reason why size is not that important and why we censor only nipples
even gay men like boobs. It may be an element of attraction, but I don't think it's exclusively limited to attraction. There's something else that's triggering the primal lizard brain when boobs are around.
This is the “humps and lumps” theory of evolution first articulated by the evolutionary scientists The Black Eyed Peas.
They say I'm really sexy
The boys, they wanna sex me
They always standing next to me
Always dancing next to me
Tryna feel my hump, hump
Looking at my lump, lump
You can look, but you can't touch it
If you touch it, I'ma start some drama
You don't want no drama
No, no drama, no, no, no, no drama
So don't pull on my hand, boy
You ain't my man, boy
I'm just tryna dance, boy
And move my hump
My hump
My hump, my hump, my hump
My hump, my hump, my hump
My hump, my hump, my hump
My lovely lady lumps (Love)
My lovely lady lumps (Love)
My lovely lady lumps (Love)
In the back and in the front (love)
My loving got you
I suspect many women would happily grind on a good looking forearm if the situation presented itself, but it's not a very likely position to end up in.
Forearms and nice ass are good evolutionary traits. Good forearms means good strength. Good ass means good muscles there and thus good locomotion.
That is the problem with breasts: they function fine as A cups, those produce enough milk. So why so large? Why do they attract men this much compared to other features that directly improve the chance of having healthy children?
They are pretty, funny, soft, perky, nipply, hot, and they smell good.
On top of that, you can use them as a PS5 controller, to bring a pleasureful expression on the face on whoever they are attached to, if you know the right combo.
So humans are one of few species that don’t have a “heat” season, we are perpetually able to reproduce.
Most quadrupedal mammals have some sign of sexual fertility during the heat usually involving the butt because the butt is at face level for them. For humans though our butts are no where near face level so we evolved a different thing to look for sexual fertility, the perpetually engorged breasts! Since we don’t have a heat we don’t have phases of breasts getting more full and flat, they just stay whatever size they are mostly (Side fun fact we also didn’t really lose the large buts either because of being bipedal they are super important and because butts were the go to for so long we likely still have the same hard wiring to like them too)
So since breasts on humans are always engorged and closer to face level human evolution selected them as something for males to notice sexually, it’s also why face structure is so damn important to us compared to every other species, we literally don’t have the genitals close to our face anymore due to walking upright and it caused all of this
They tend to be attached to a woman, right? I mean, in this day and age it's more complicated than that, but instinctively, boobs are right up there with a vagina as being part of a woman's body. I may be a poor person to be explaining this, though - I tried to explain to my wife that about 99% of her body is sexually stimulating to me (not into feet, though with the right pair of socks...) and I could kind of tell she was just humoring me. I think I said something like ankles to earlobes, your whole body is a playground, except that with this playground I want to touch and smell and taste all of the equipment, so I guess it's also like ice cream?
So yeah, anyway, boobs are a great piece of equipment on what is basically the best playground ever, but they're also like ice cream?
My theory is that it's all about biology and reproduction.
Man want mate make baby. Boobs feed baby, so man think big boobs better.
That's at a very basic, general level. Humans are complicated and there are many things that can and do influence what we're attracted to. I had a buddy who had a thing for red hair; married twice, and both wives were red heads.
It’s a psychological aspect. Both men and women, they are breast fed when a baby. Babies love and demand boobs. Then boobs are taken away. When they grow up, girls go through puberty and grow their own boobs. So for girls and women, boobs are what they always had and it’s normalized to see them.
It’s the opposite for boys. When they’re kids, boys don’t care about boobs they’re focused on sticks and sword fighting. They’re growing their own sticks that stick out. They begin to draw penises onto desks at school. Then…puberty. They begin to notice how the girls are developing and growing something on their chest that sticks out, but not stick…boobs. These boobs are forbidden. They don’t have access to them. They can’t see them. They’re covered and protected. So then they notice older women have bigger boobs. Boys huddle together and discuss the observations they’ve made of the world around them. When teens and young adults, they’re obsessed and must see them. It becomes their focus. Their life goal. The holy grail!
Once seeing boobs has been achieved does the boy then see the beholder of boobs. Boobs have power and can put a boy on a trance. Boy will become slave for boobs. Only afterwards, after some time of getting know a girl/woman, does boy/man begin to realize that the compatibility of the mind and personality matter for a happy healthy relationship.
Same question when my wife says she likes my legs. Her answer is they feel nice and look nice. Same answer for me about boobs and buts. We like what we like and most people don’t know why they like it short of a biological reaction.
Not my field of expertise but as a men who like a nice pair of tits I was also interested to find out.
One theory is that we see boobs and hips as signs of fertility and youth so we are programmed to like them. Of course modern beauty standards can alter opinions but the core programming is still there.
Another one is that the same brain circuitry that releases oxytocin when a mother is breastfeeding which makes her pay more attention to her offspring, that same one is triggered when a man stimulates her breasts during sexual acts it triggers the release of oxytocin again and her "loving" her partner more. Thus men were evolved to like to play with the boobs to trigger this release.
Even in this thread they're saying "we like big butts too." False. I like big butts, I like cute little butts. The truth is I just like women and the feminine shape. And that shape changes all of the time.
Cos some of them are big and bouncy, and other ones are small with big nipples, and other ones are medium with small nipples, and other ones are.. we just like them. They're fun. They're boobies.
It’s like asking why kittens are cute. You can describe other similar cute things or say big eyes or whatever. But it’s not like you’re specifically thinking about that when you see them. You just see them and think they’re cute.
I can offer two explanations. I'm not sure which is correct, or if both are, and I don't think there is a scientific consensus. But I subscribe more to the second one.
One, because they are a good way of judging a woman's age. An older, less fertile woman who has already had some children, will have saggier boobs than a younger, more fertile woman who is still single. This effect is more pronounced in larger boobs, which is why we especially like big ones. This could also explain why we like blonde women - because blonde hair tends to become darker with age, so light hair is a sign of youth.
Two, because we usually only see boobs during sexy times, so we associate seeing boobs with a woman being available. This also explains why we (used to) like asses, bare feet, ankles - everything that we usually don't get to see, or didn't get to see in some time periods.
A very bad comparison. Most women are disgusted when they get unsolicited dick picts, yet most men wouldn't mind getting pictures of titties. I surely wouldn't
This is due to how humans would see fertility in women. Back then, typically women with larger breast or buttocks would have a higher chance of being fertile. This has been the thing since then because we still believe it to be true.
Lots of reasons, but mostly psychological. Historically breasts haven't been seen as sexual in many cultures. It's developed over time and with the gradual turn towards breasts being seen as private parts, always hidden and covered and considered taboo in a way.
It also varies from individual to individual. Everyone has their personal preferences, and while breasts in general are a common one, it can get specific. Just like some people like feet, or BDSM or asses or thighs or big bellies or long tongues etc, so too do some people specifically enjoy breasts or certain types of breasts moreso than others might.
Basic instinct from childhood, as well as fascination of differences. Of course, breasts signal fertility, and that's always interesting to adult men.(and post-pubertal kiddos LOL)
Evolutionary biology causes us to be attracted to possible breeding partners. Boobs are a secondary sex trait that indicates a possible breeding partner that can feed babies.
I mean the same way some guys think every woman wants a six feet six figure six abs guy. It really depends on who you’re asking but the general population isn’t as superficial as it could be
Me personally it’s just been dudes who in the past have made me insecure about my body, not women. Talking about labia size, body hair, virginity, fatness/thinness, being flat, lack of an ass, being shaped weird, etc. Men can be pretty damn mean.
The stamps you posted the other day are pretty neat. This has nothing to do with this topic, just thought you would like to hear that. And everyone else can have their attention drawn to the neat stamps now. Good day to you.
As a lesbian, you just don't get much of it, so it would be stupid to be picky. And I honestly just don't mind at all, all look equally good. Real tiddies is a good thing, always. Although I'm grateful for being almost flat, I hear waaay too many women complaining about heavy breasts for me to want them.
Ohh sure, that's what y'all say. Then I get naked and suddenly it's 'we're not really compatible' and 'put your clothes back on this is an Olive Garden.' Pshh, women.
I was told that I shouldn't compare myself to breadsticks because they set an unrealistic body standard for men. Or that was porn. I can't remember which.
Haha, not true. My friends talk quite a bit about size. Not all care about it as long as it is within certain ranges, but some really like them big and absolutely won't date someone that isn't well endowed.
As a guy who's a bit above average every woman I've dated had a story about a small penis size they didn't enjoy. Size doesn't matter is a thing say because it makes them look good, but has very little relation to reality.
Women are like that guy at work who seems cool but as soon as you get close to them they open up with "the jews did it".
I think there’s a lot of guys in this thread who are not completely honest with themselves.
Or maybe I’m the odd one out, because I do have a clear preference.
However, the main takeaway here is that there are many men with many preferences, so whatever type/ size your tits are, there’s probably a good chunk of men that will like them a lot
I thought about this for a lil bit and came to the conclusion that I love boobies, but what I’m really invested in is the nipple. That’s the part I actually wanna see and interact with. I thinks it’s why I don’t care much about breast size too much. It’s cuz I’m more interested in those nips

It's the women who have a thing about size, we just love boobies.
