    I was beginning to think that I could go this day without any “joke” or remark that would exclude me from the group “men” because I’m not into women, but here it is. I was almost getting worried that it took so long today :/

      Especially in contrast to “lesbian” rather than “women”. Male expectations suck in this society, sorry for you having to deal with that 🫂

      I know plenty of gay/ax men who appreciate boobs from an aesthetic or comfort perspective. Hell, my cat loves my boobs and i’m damned sure she’s not into me. I’ve had pet rats happily nestle down in my cleavage. For all the wild sexualisation of them there’s a lot of non-sexual boob appreciation

      Yeah. I was just thinking that too. Then looked again and realized that gay men also got erased (unerased?) as well. Seems a weird mixing of scopes to specify homosexual women but just generalize “men” as though all men like boobs as much as us (mostly)heteros do.

            Mythbusters put it to the test:

            https://mythresults.com/laws-of-attraction

            Kari volunteered to work in a coffee shop, disguising her appearance with a wig and makeup and using three different bust sizes: “small” (taped down to achieve a reduction of two cup sizes), “medium” (no alteration), and “large” (DDD size). Grant and Tory watched her through hidden cameras and gave her a tip jar rigged to separate tips given by men from those given by women.

            They focused on the tips Kari collected from the first 80 male customers on each shift. During the “small” and “medium” shifts, she collected $72 in tips, while the “large” shift yielded $98, with both men and women tipping almost 40% more. The team classified the myth as confirmed.

                Yeah, Mythbusters is fun and interesting, but don’t mistake it for a scientific study. IIRC, Adam Savage himself has said they couldn’t really apply the level of scientific rigor it would take to actually prove things due to the format of the show.

                Still, it is food for thought.

    A couple of my friends, a girl and gay guy, once brought me into a hobby of theirs. Several days a week, they sat at the college food court and went boob watching.

    That day I learned something truly profound about the human condition. Everyone appreciates boobs - we might wrap them up in sexuality or envy or stranger complexes, but beneath it all there’s a universal aesthetic appreciation

        What the hell is wrong with you? Also you thought deleting that means I wouldn’t notice? (Original message: “Lesbians”)

          Do trans women not count as lesbians? I’ve heard some of them call themselves transbians. Since they identify as a woman then I would assume lesbian would apply to them. But I know I shouldn’t assume.

          I deleted it because i didn’t want to get into it. Trans WLW is lesbian and is included in the meme.

            I deleted the comment within a minute of sending it. I didn’t think you wouldn’t see the message lol.

            But yeah, I didn’t like the comment. I made it too snarky / the vibes were off.

    I’m pretty sure the vast majority of everyone loves boobs, not just babies and us that are attracted to females specifically.

      I’ve often even heard gay guys admit that boobs are great. I believe boob appreciation is ingrained into us as deeply as the comfort of fire.
