It is a bit difficult to explain.
I have always concentrated on the legs and the buttocks in terms of sexual attraction.

I am also an ardent believer that breasts in human females became larger as a result of adapting to bipedal locomotion, thereby depriving the males of a visual sexual signal (the buttocks). So with a bit of good will we can view the breasts as a mimicry of the buttocks when standing up.

Our cousins the apes do not have enlarged breasts because they still move around on all four extremities and there is no need for enlarged breasts for milk production. It is just adipose fat tissue.

Hmmm, thanks for that explanation.

I think most men favor the legs and butt, because of how a woman can move those limbs. I feel most guys stare at my butt and legs than anything else. Breasts can look bigger due to padded bras these days so that could be a turnoff.

Enlarged breasts are such an inconvenience for bipeds though. They lead to back strain and pain, plus food falls on them during meals. The sagging is just horrible. I would rather have a flat chest than have lots of sagging.

Yes I agree that large breasts must be cumbersome.

For women with small breasts they developed the wonder bra. When you take off the bra you wonder where the breasts went

A 'link' does not necessarily mean this is always the case, @SSDR.

Also, did you see this nugget, from your first source?
No association between childhood abuse and obesity or overweight was observed for women in this sample.

So how do you explain that?

It also indicates that among people with abuse it is higher, but not that people who aren't abused cannot be obese. It only indicates it's more common among people who were abused. It's kind of irrelevant to the topic, since we aren't talking about every factor in being obese, only that it's a problem.

A man after my own heart on this matter :D

Beautiful large breasts on a woman are another proof of a loving Father God, and not just for children :)

@Godstud, And the same for you. Your 'links' that you may ever use in the future (if you use one, if not, then you can say "I never used a link so what are you talking about?") to counter argue me are not always true either. Anyone can lie. Governments lie. Research enterprises lie. Scientists lie. People lie. Nothing can be proven with links so it's useless for both sides.

"No association between childhood abuse and obesity or overweight was observed for women in this sample."

- How do they know that? They have the potential to lie so you may not know if that's true.

"It also indicates that among people with abuse it is higher, but not that people who aren't abused cannot be obese. It only indicates it's more common among people who were abused. It's kind of irrelevant to the topic, since we aren't talking about every factor in being obese, only that it's a problem."

- Exactly, you just proved most of my point. I NEVER said that people who aren't abused cannot be fat. What I was saying was that most obese people tend to have abusive childhoods, so they eat a lot to cope with the traumas, to make them feel better. It's more common. And I was NEVER talking about every single fucking factor. Not every, single, one.

Everything is a tool. Your (and my) mother's wombs were tools that we used before we were given birth to. Everything is used. That's how humans survive. People use each other. If we're not tools, then what are we? Some monks who are so emotional that we value everything like money lovers?

:roll: I never said you were lying, @SSDR. I was saying that the link your provided was merely explaining a single factor of obesity and was not the only one, and that was even evident in the links. I never said it wasn't accurate or that anyone lied.


I was using this definition of a tool.
Tool
Someone who others normally refer to as a prick, dick, or schmuck.

I don't think English is your first language, so I'll give you a break. :)

@Godstud, I never claimed that there was only one factor to obesity. There are many factors in society that can cause obesity. But one of them is child hood abuse.

And no, English is not my first language. I speak five languages so sometimes I do struggle with English.

You do pretty good with English, so that's probably why you missed it. No matter. I am probably just not used to your argument style. I guess I thought you placed far too much emphasis on it.

There's a shitload of psychological and dietary reasons as to why obesity is rampant, but one of the prime ones is availability of shit food, and price.

Here are a few pics I took in about an hour here in Florida. jimjam posits that obesity is indeed a national emergency of far greater danger to America than a wall to protect the country from brown people as championed (ad infinitum) by America's now legally obese president.

I met a young African educated man who preferred such obese women.
Both his American wife and his African girl friend were morbidly obese.
I will never understand this.

For 2018 America paced 18th most obese country.

THIS IS A CRYING SHAME!

I'm calling on all Americans to go out to their nearest McDonalds, and order 4 Quarter Pounders with Cheese!

Three in four adults are overweight or obese. More Americans are sick, in other words, than are healthy. The total economic cost of obesity is estimated at $1.72 trillion per year, or 9.3 percent of gross domestic product.

I can do without the cheese, but I love double whoppers from Burger King. If it wasn't for burgers, I might have starved as a child. My grandpa would go get me a burger because I would not eat regular meals. But it did not make me fat. I was very skinny and did gain any weight until years after my 20 years in the Army. Now, I have learned to eat many foods over those years. I weigh 215 lbs now. I believe that is due to lack of exercise and not due to the eating of fast foods and too many burgers. But I still don't have the big belly like those guys in your photos. I still do a few sit ups, bench presses, dumbbell curls, and squats, but no running anymore.
Praise the Lord.

Being fat has to do with diet, and not really exercise. Stop eating shit and you'll lose weight, fatty.

Diet 75% Exercise 25%.
