Bras made obsolete?

[Alyeska]

Eh, here's an idea... Perhaps a woman can get this titanium mesh AND wear a bra. Mesh helps fight sag while Bra takes the proper support.

Um, you do realise that the Support is what fights the sag right? And to support the breasts the bra must cup them and if it's doing that, then it's lending support and there's no need for the Mesh (quite apart from the side-effects of the mesh from a health perspective.)

I have a distinct suspicious that this was thought up by one of those guys who got majorly embarrassed trying to unhook is girlfriends bra the first time.

"Ok... steady... found the first hook... damn it, why is that so much work... easy... success! Wheres the second hook? ...ok, working... working... it's off! Blast! The first one's back on again!"

Hee hee, I had no problems doing it with one hand, thank you keyboard trained hands for this extra agility

id expect a step by step breast guide off a woman at least!

Doubtless there will be one in SOS:NBA by now. *pokes Zaia*

That particular assignment was given to muse & jmac, since they're already so knowledgable about each other's breasts.

But you're the official breast spokesperson of SD.net, no breast how-to guide would be complete without your input.

Was that to Zaia or me?

Actually broomstick did a goodstarting point in her post (getting a bra fitted correctly, different types for different occasions, proper support, non-constrictive, wide straps for everyday use). Basically expanded on my own. Now you have to expand on hers and make it a full step-by step in the SOS:NBA.

"I work in the beauty industry and I know that it is natural for someone to desire a better body. The operation has changed my life and I feel a lot better about myself".

This is what disgusts me. She works in the beauty industry? Maybe the beauty-is-only-skin-deep industry. Or mesh deep. But seriously, if she works in the beauty industry, and here she's saying it's only natural to desire a better body?! People, it's because of the images the beauty industry projects that people desire a better body. Without that sort of thing, people would be happier with their body. Unless they had other self esteem issues. Which is another topic.

[Broomstick]

See, I don't get this "better body" thing at all. Not that I'm some sort of Goddess (well, maybe, but not appearance-wise), but I have a very good and useful body that, for the most part, is low maintenance and may well continue to operate with only minor problems for another half century (or even more, with some luck) Granted, I could do without the allergies - but the titanium-mesh cyber-bra isn't going to fix those. Yeah, maybe it would be nice to be a little taller, a little more this or that... but none of it is bothersome enough for me to do anything about. Really, it's a pretty good body. Some nice curves, sort of a smallish strong-but-feminine thing going on....

Then every now and then I look at the "women's" magazines and find out I need to be taller, thinner, more toned, tanned, not tanned, tucked, nipped, waxed... WTF?

Those aren't women... they're manikins

Reminds me of a conversation I had long ago. Now, as background, I've had pretty much the same hairstyle for last 25-30 years. I've tried changing it once or twice, wasn't comfortable with it, and keep going back. Anyhow, this woman I knew in college kept pestering me to cut my hair, style my hair, color my hair --- basically do anything and everything but what I was doing. I finally told her to bug off, I had no intention of changing my hair.

"But - but it will make you a totally different person!" she said.

I shot back with "Different person? Why would I want to be somebody else - I like being me."

Totally blew her mind. It's like she had never heard another woman say "I like myself the way I am". Well, maybe she hadn't. Really, the woman was flabbergasted. I was sort of shocked myself - at how shocked she was.

Anyhow, when I read about women doing shit like getting implantable bras I always think of that girl. It makes me wonder if these women are just plain uncomfortable with themselves and they're trying to be someone else by changing the outside, instead of changing the inside.

[Wicked Pilot]

See, I don't get this "better body" thing at all.

If I may pipe in with the Y chromosome opinion, I don't get it either. I don't expect women to be perfect, hell I no stud muffin myself, (well actually I am, but that's a different topic). I can easily look past a woman's imperfections, er, beauty traits, as long as she has a good personality and a good attitude and makes the effort to do things like stay in shape. I really wouldn't care if her breast were small seeing how that is not something she would have control over, and I sure as hell would not encourage a decision to change that via surgery.

Perhaps you should post a pic of yourself to show off your point. At least that way when I read your post I'm not thinking of some crazy person in a red shirt with 3D classes.

WTF? How on earth would changing something as superficial as your hairstyle make you a Different person?

It would make you look different (and if extreme enough a change, maybe even look like a totally different person. But the way you look does not define who you are as a person!

People that shallow as to think that changing how you look will change who you are... words fail me.

[Wicked Pilot]

Or perhaps they are so shallow that changing their looks will indeed change who they are.

No, they'll still be really shallow.

Some - actually most - critters DO have a bone of sorts in their penis, humans are more the exception rather than the rule in this case. What, exactly, this bone is useful for is somewhat of a puzzle - after all, we're 8 billion strong without it. Just another natural mystery.

I heard that it helps getting it up quick for a quickie and get it finished quick.

SThen every now and then I look at the "women's" magazines and find out I need to be taller, thinner, more toned, tanned, not tanned, tucked, nipped, waxed... WTF?

Aren't some of those requirements mutually exclusive?

...People that shallow as to think that changing how you look will change who you are... words fail me.

Yeah, me too - I was shocked speechless myself. Unfortunately, I have since learned there are a BUNCH of these people running around. All style and no substance.

Yeah. I caught that, too - amazing, huh? Seriously - saw one mag talking about achieving the perfect bronze tan in one article then the next was about how pale was all the rage and the sun would wrinkle you up and give you cancer and you needed to slosh on what was essentially radiation-proof prior to going outside even on a cloudy day. Bizarre.

Actually... if you must know....

That actually IS a picture of me

So, presumably, you'd like a slightly less staged picture of me enabling you to better judge my... ah... attitributes?

I'll see if I find something that will do the job. Meanwhile, I leave you with this, because it's already out there and I can link to it easy:

I'll say that while hairstyles can't possible define your personality, I still consider it self-evident that a change in hairstyle may indeed change other people's perception of you.

I would like to buy my own Fouga one of these days, but until then I wouldn't have access to anything more than anybody else with equivilant civil ratings.

That'll do. Is that a Piper of some sort? I wanna see more of the airplane.

This titanium mesh thing is one of the most disturbing ideas I've heard of in a while.

As for the big-tit thing in general, that's the difference between what you would stare at and what you would seriously consider an impediment to dating. Sure, men stare at a woman on the beach with big hooters, but that doesn't mean it's actually a serious factor when deciding whether they want to ask her out.

I object to this. Unclasping a bra for the first time is a time-honored rite of passage for teenage males.

[The Third Man]

It could be very useful for someone who requires a bra but is very embarrassed about wearing one. ie someone who is male.
