What Men See When They Look at Boobs, According to Science
Why do men like boobs? While the general allure of women’s breasts aren’t a huge mystery – they’ve provided sustenance for babies since the beginning of time – some men gravitate towards boobs more than others. Some are left in occasional awe while looking at boobs. There’s a science behind this and it shows that men’s attraction to them is more complicated than just keeping their eyes “up there.” While some guys might love and be turned on by staring at big boobs, most prefer breasts that are average size. What you find attractive may reveal surprising things about other parts of your life, from financial security to fatherhood. In fact, how you perceive female boobs could make the difference between you being poor, hungry, or healthy, research suggests. Like breasts, studies on how men relate to them come in all shapes and sizes. Some are more robust than others. But the following should at least give you something constructive to ogle as you ask yourself the very important question: But why do guys like boobs?
Most Guys Like Average Boob Sizes
Average breasts for the win! While people tend to think that larger breasts usually take up rent in people’s heads for free, most men actually prefer medium-sized boobs. And so do women, which makes sense considering it’s a smaller load to carry throughout the day. In fact, studies suggest that most men are attracted to breasts that maintain a C average. However, more sexually active men seem to care far less about the size, one study shows.
Being a Dad Changes How You Think About Boobs
Preferring larger breasts can indicate a lot of things, but it might just mean you’re ready to be a father, research suggests. The study found that men who did not have kids but wanted them were generally into larger boobs, and dudes who had no familial aspirations were content with smaller pairs. In this case, dads who like big boobs can breathe a sigh of relief. Your preference doesn’t mean you’re a creep, or sexist, or even hungry. You just want what’s best for your kids.
How Much Money You Make Influences Boob Preferences
If you’re a guy who likes small boobs, don’t worry. You’re probably just rich, one paper suggests. The study, published in The Journal of Socio-Economics, found that men with less financial stability gravitate toward larger breasts, while wealthier men are more attracted to smaller ones. On a biological level, perhaps wealthier men innately sense that they don’t need those extra fatty reserves — they can just grab a steak dinner and call it a night. Who knew guys might subconsciously size up boobs just for their nourishing potential?
Don’t View Boobs on an Empty Stomach
Don’t worry, it’s not because you’ll attempt to breastfeed. The aforementioned study also found that boob preferences are broadly related to available resources and that, when men are satiated, they’re less drawn to huge knockers. The study also found that men who prefer big breasts tend to be more sexist than others. Hungry and sexist? What a bad combination.
Staring at Boobs Might Help You Live Longer
Yes, you read that right. There’s some evidence that staring at boobs may increase a man’s longevity. An earlier study found that positive thinking had a positive effect on long-term health choices, particularly when it came to taking blood pressure medication. While not all experts are convinced, many have deduced that looking at boobs is one such way to achieve a positive mental attitude. Another German study concurred that looking at boobs for 10 minutes a day was good for a man’s cardiovascular health. All of these benefits, of course, only exist if the boob-gazing is permitted. Otherwise, staring at boobs on the sly can significantly shorten your life. If you catch our drift.
