They say the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, and that saying holds as true on the subject of boobs as anything else. Women born less than endowed have long since kept plastic surgeons in business while many ample-chested women wish they could just take some of the weight off. But other than from a vanity point (and men don’t get a say in this… sorry, guys), it seems like smaller-chested women really make out better overall, if the answers to this Ask Reddit thread, “What are some GOOD things about having small boobs?” is to be believed.
Here are some of the most convincing responses, starting with therealblh:
When I take my bra off, they just stay there.
Sweet baby Jesus, summertime. Summertime is the best if you have a small chest. So many tank-tops and dresses have extra support built into them, which isn’t substantial enough for my ample chested sisters. But little ole me? Nine times out of ten, it’s perfect. That means three months of sweet, liberating, bra-less freedom.
It’s a magical time of year.
You can lie on your stomach.
It makes it easier to disguise yourself when you want to join the emperor’s army to fight the huns.
As someone who went from having no boobs to big ones through the magic of cosmetic surgery, I can tell you I looked a hell of a lot skinnier when I was flat-chested.
They age better and won’t f*ck up your back.
You can wear strapless and halter tops without looking like you’re auditioning for a low budget porn.
I used to have Ds. I lost weight, now I have As. And I can honestly say it’s fantastic. I can run, I can sleep on my stomach, shirts fit me properly. Life is good when you have little tiddies.
The thread also inspired a copycat AskReddit thread — no, not what’s good about having big boobs because, as we mentioned, that doesn’t exist — from men about the perks of having a tiny penis. Good on these guys for owning up to it. MicroCock here starts by making a solid case:
You get a cool username on Reddit.
Awkward boners in public won’t be conspicuous.
Less likely to touch the germ ridden bowl when you pee!
It can fit in any hole.
When you try to helicopter you don’t have to fear actually taking off
And last but not least, from Ph0xtrot…
You can lie on your stomach.
