Seven Scientific Facts About Boobs

1.  The amount of money you have dictates the kind of boobs you like.  If you're poor, you want busty cleavage.  But if you're rich, you like them small.  Doctors think a hefty rack signals "fat reserves," which appeals to guys with meager incomes.

2.  Hungry men also like an ample chest.  But if you're full, you want a smaller chest.  So your boob preference can actually fluctuate over the course of a meal.

3.  If you don't want kids, you ALSO don't want a woman with huge cans.  You want to steer clear of anything that reminds you of breastfeeding or fertility.  But if you're into big breasts, it's probably because you want to reproduce.

4.  Sexist men prefer humongous boobs.  No surprise there.  In fact, studies show that the size of a guy's sexism roughly equates to his preference in breast size.  And men who like giant breasts are the most hostile toward women.

5.  Men who like small breasts want a submissive woman.  Scientists claim men find flat-chested women, quote, "less threatening."  Small-chested ladies also might remind men of their "first love."  (Which is kind of sick when you think about it.)

6.  Women with implants are three times more likely to KILL themselves than other people.  But not until 10 years after they've had the surgery.  No one knows why, but it could be that women who want implants in the first place are prone to suicide.

7.  Bras actually cause breasts to sag.  Studies show that the restrictive material in bras prevents muscle development . . . so breasts start to DROOP.
