So what are Boob jobs for then? (Could progress to NSFW).

[adsman]

Hey all,

I've been away for a bit due to my bar opening. I know that you've all missed me and you're sad. But now you can all be happy and rejoice. Do you spell 'rejoice' like that?

Boob jobs. This article in The Australian carries a story about a mens magazine launching a competition where the winners girlfriend gets ten grand for a boob job. Hmmm, the link doesn't work. You'll just have to trust me.
Now there is a huge uproar with quotes such as this one;

[ QUOTE ]
And leading public health researcher Dr Jenny O'Dea, of the University of Sydney, said she was "disgusted and appalled" breast implants could be promoted in this way.

"You simply cannot treat women in this way, like objects there for men's satisfaction," Dr O'Dea said.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah ha ha ha. So what is the real motivation for women to go through a painful operation to stick sacks of artificial stuff in their boobies? There's a deeper meaning that I'm missing perhaps?

Then there's this tid-bit from a similar competition that was run in England;

[ QUOTE ]
The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (Baaps) criticised Liverpool's Juice FM for giving the winner, Nadine Pude, 27, the chance to increase her A-cup bosom to a double D.

Adam Searle, former Baaps president, said: "The offer of a cosmetic surgery procedure as a prize is an awful manifestation of the trivialisation of medical care in general, and aesthetic surgery in particular".

[/ QUOTE ]

A trivialisation of aesthetic surgery. Have these people ever been to Brazil?

I now invite my fellow OOTers to round out this thread by posting photo's of their ex-grilfriends and wives with their post booby shots.

more boobies less talking

personally, I find girls with boob job disgusting. It just doesnt do it for me. For me it's rather small breasts > boob job any time, I'm not wired to like it.
But I do understand that girls do it for self-esteem reasons etc, it just ruins their chances with me :P

What the hell is up with that thing in the bottom right? Every other chick is hot or decent looking. That thing looks like a man with a really nasty looking boobs.

Some women who have breast cancer and have to get a mastectomy (boob cut off) end up getting implants so that they can feel normal again.

Some women have grossly different size boobs.


This is like .01% of implants though. The rest just didn't get hugged enough as a child.


Also, the "people with implants are more likely to commit suicide" is duh. Lots of people with low self-esteem get them, obviously thats the cause of the correlation. I imagine that lots of women think "as soon as I get implants, I'll be happy and confident. That's the one thing holding me back. Then they get them, still feel like [censored], and spiral even further into depression.

Some chicks get boob jobs because their boyfriends/husbands or whatever like it and they want to please them.

Some do it to increase income(strippers/porn).

Some do it because they are insecure and think it will make them feel better about themselves.

Also, some do it to just look more normal. A girl with a sub-A chest getting a boob job to a solid B cup isn't that hard to understand. Not sure that insecure is the right word to use when describing this.

[Aloysius]

4_2 - agree - it's not quite "insecure". Smaller girls (there is "sub-A"? A is pretty small...) probably just want to wear strapless dresses, whatever, without feeling too self conscious. This doesn't necessarily mean the girl has crazy low self-esteem, imo.

In general, I am not a fan of implants.

Regarding the esteem thing, I don't even know how attracted I could be to the type of person who would even want to get such an operation unless there was a more legit reason for it such as being abnormally small or they're different sizes or something.

I'm generalizing about "the type" of person who would want to do this but it all just feels so fake and silly.
Then again, I like it when my GF gets all dressed up in nice clothes instead of just wearing sweats around the house all day.
I'm sure many of the gals getting the implants could make an argument that doing something like this to their body really isn't that different from putting make-up on their face or doing whatever to their hair.
