Adds 2 Cup Sizes Instantly!

As I was wandering the bra aisle at Wal-mart hoping to find a sale, I came across this:




My first reaction was that I must be dense.  What is the point of this?  One would assume that a woman who chose to make her breasts appear two times bigger is doing it to attract the opposite sex.  However, if she was successful in doing so based on the size of her breasts, wouldn't the truth be obvious when the bra came off and her more diminutive size was on display?  Not a lot of logic in this strategy.

It actually speaks to a larger issue.  Would a woman really want to be with a man whose first priority is the size of her tits?  Just saying.  For the well-adjusted woman, posing this question will elicit a self-conscious laugh, a reply of, "No," and the bra will be put back on the rack.

However, further research shows the psychology behind this thought process is really far more dire than the song and dance between a man and a woman and her breast size.  When a person, in this case a woman, feels inadequate, it's normal to try to determine why.  Our Hollywood culture is glad to provide a reason to young women with little life experience, or even the thirty somethings with little facility for self-reflection.  Why it's because you're only a size A or B cup.  If you had tits the size of melons all would be well.

Unfortunately life is never that simple.  A long-term Canadian study showed that women who actually go beyond push-up bras to getting breast implants for purely cosmetic purposes have a 73% higher rate of suicide than the general population.  For these women, the size of their tits was decidedly not the cure for her feelings of inadequacy.

Now don't get confused.  I am NOT blaming our sometimes superficial culture for the high suicide rate among breast implantees.  I am saying that if a woman is easily swayed by that superficial mindset, and becomes obsessed with the size of her breasts, there is some underlying psychological issue that needs to be addressed.

She needs therapy; not cosmetic surgery.
