Boob's for Noob's

Enhanced;

Like Pandora, you opened the box more then intended??

What did you expect? People (esp. Men) were going to ignore twins suddenly thrust into thier faces?

Of course they make comments, that's what they think you want! Otherwise you might have worn something a little less tight fitting after the operation, a new looser fitting top, not the old one that barely fit the old you. If you can afford the boob job, surely, you can also afford the new clouths to fit them properly!

So, On behalf of all Dweebs that have the temerity to notice your new implants and say something, plus all the Men you want to notice them, but, that don't say anything...

Please accept our apologies!

Fortunately, like Pandora's box, there is Hope in the bottom of your box as well. That hope is... As you and your new appendages grow accustomed to each other, you will learn the grace to sleep in the bed you have made without whining.

Perhaps, it is possible, the novelty will wear off, memories are short. Better yet, you may get lucky, another set of twins may come along to distract from all this unwanted flattery!

Hope springs eternal!

that's "Boobs for Noobs", no apostrohes.
Glass house and all that...

The word you're trying for is "apostrophe".

Kinda shoots your credence in the butt, eh?

who freakin' cares, juno?

so the poster made a mistake, BFG! It was a good post, no need for you to climb up on your high horse to correct a small technical error.

& If you feel the need to correct someone, correct yourself first.

WTF.

It says a lot about you that you automatically assume that since somebody has had the surgery she is running around flaunting them to random strangers.

Tell me, as a man, do you really think you couldn't tell the difference between a B cup and a D cup even under a lose fitting shirt?

And tell me, do you really think this woman had the surgery so that random men on the street would comment on them? Is it not possible in your world that she did it for herself or that one special guy?

A) No one should EVER change their body for "that one special guy," as if he's encouraging it, he's not special enough.

B)Changing it for herself is a decision she alone can make...but the consequences, again, are something she alone needs to deal with, and not by making it a spectacle on an internet discussion board.

SusanM:

The people who noticed the difference MUST have known her BEFORE the Boob Job, so they were NOT random strangers.

And yes, she certainly is showing them off, too.

SusanM:

Pretty much EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE, since I was about 5 years old, yes, indeed, even under a burka.

SusanM:

In addition to the random men, I'm sure she also loves it when random women comment on them, too.

And no, it is NEVER, EVER the truth that "she did it for herself" (what a crock!) or for that one special guy, who would only love her if she had D cups? Just how special is THAT?

Think about what you are saying, honey.

I am thinking about what I'm saying. I'm one of those chickies who have multiple D's in her bra size (naturally) - you guys may think its flattering to comment but I was tired of that by the time I was 15. Don't get me wrong, I like my boobs, but some idiot stopping me and saying 'hey, you got huge boobs' is annoying as hell.

Guess what. This chick is NOT YOU! Having had to deal with big breasts and the notice that gets you from a young age is not what the LW was describing at all. You have two completely different life experiences on the breast front.

Also, i don't think you'll find many women on this board who are inviting men to look at and comment on their chests. The LW didn't state that it was only men or the specific nature of those comments. So really when judging the LW's case, you can only look at whether or not she should have expected to have to deal with any notice at all. I would say, yes. She should know people would notice and that those who knew her would make a comment. If she isn't ashamed of it, it's not a big deal. If she is, she probably should reexamine why she got them in the first place.

And guys, no. Unless a woman is a hooker or a porn star or someone with the mental capacity of a celebutard (and yes, there are some regular people that have that mentality), she does not want you commenting on her breasts- at least not to her. Especially, if she is a stranger. It is rude and if you've got to make a comment, save it for your buddy or your blog. But honestly, SusanM, i don't think that's what most of the "real" comments (not the joke-y ones) were trying to suggest.

What board have you been reading? Everything I see says 'if she doesn't want somebody commenting she shouldn't have done it'. Then we get posters like the above who suggests not only that she should have to live with the comments but that she deserves it because she is flaunting her boobs everywhere.

What you say makes sense. However it is the first time on this board I've seen that said. Certainly the first time on this thread.

You didn't have yours made, you grew them organically. There is a huge difference. A guy walking up and saying "You have huge boobs!" to someone out of the blue is completely unacceptable. A guy commenting on a drastic change in appearance like going from B to D is something that you should expect comments about.

Most women I have known get offended if you don't notice a 1/2 inch haircut. I have been bitched out for not saying anything about an eyebrow reshaping. If I am expected to notice subtle little changes like that, I would only expect to be pummeled for not commenting on a "massive" difference like a boob job.

Also, I have never seen a woman get a boob job and then cover it up under three layers and a parka. Most usually wear low cut t-shirts that cling and show as much cleavage as possible. What is the point of spending thousands of dollars to cover them up.

This letter was just another cry for attention because the boobs didn't get her attention from the "right" guys. Of course, the really right guys would have nothing to do with a shallow chick with fake boobs.

Am I really the only one that sees a major difference between hair and boobs?

Boobs are sexual objects. They are my sexual object in my case, they are the LW's sexual object in her case. If you could make out the outline of a vibrator in somebody's backpack, how comfortable would you be striking up a conversation about it? Even if it is the girl you chit chat with in class / work all the time? Unfortunately, especially with large boobs, their outline is always visible. That doesn't mean somebody wants to discuss it. That doesn't mean somebody wants you commenting on what you think about them.

Yes, there are girls out there that get a boob job and flaunt it everywhere, wanting attention from anybody and everybody. Fine. But it doesn't sound like the original LW wanted the attention or she wouldn't have wrote in and asked how to stop it.

That is just the easiest comparison in something that is an attempt to be more attractive. I would expect the same thing if the woman got a facelift, tummy tuck, or butt lift.

There a lot of things that could look like a vibrator through a backpack, but if she was wearing it around her neck, I would definitely have an urge to find out why. anyway, the vibrator isn't even close to the same thing. Now, if she had a huge 18" double headed dildo sticking out through the zipper on her pack after she had only had a small bullet vibe on her keychain..... What was I saying?

It just sounds like this was an attempt to boost self-esteem that backfired. Now she is regretting it. It is much easier for her to lash out at others than to admit that the mistake was hers.

thanks Jaymz

for proving Susan's point and making me look stupid. I appreciate it.

Jaymz, women who you know (and i would guess are close to) might expect you to make a comment on their hair or eyebrows being changed. i don't know what kind of women these are. Every woman i know would never expect a man to notice such a thing and definitely not give him grief over failure to notice such a thing. Now if your Significant Other doesn't notice that your hair is 5 inches longer or shorter than yesterday or that your pubic hair is bright orange in the shape of a downward facing arrow, well, yes, i think most women would expect you to notice that.

as i said before, most women aren't necessarily wanting of comments on their specific body parts. You'll get a much better response if you tell a woman she looks good in general than if you start picking her apart like she's an a la carte menu.

That being said, i have little to no sympathy for a woman who gets a surgery for self esteem reasons that makes a noticeable difference in her body- one that is known to be a point of fascination for the male part of the species- and then expects everyone to.. what ? pretend they don't notice? divert their eyes? etc... ? there's unwanted attention and there's unwanted comments. attention is something that there is a reasonable expectation of in the case of new huge breasts. Comments however are never necessary.

It sounds to me like you think the woman's body exists for the people around her. It really is interesting that the prevailing male view is that of course a woman couldn't have changed her body for her own sake.
