I wonder, at what bra size do men think breasts are "big"?

submitted by TurtleFuzz from self.GenderCritical

I don't like to put people on blast, but this grossly naive post from a TIM on the MtF subreddit made me laugh: https://www.reddit.com/r/MtF/comments/j5sd24/breast_augmentation/

In case you don't want to go to reddit (and I don't blame you):

Hey girls, I'm booked in for breast augmentation, and I'm literally panicking over implant size, I'm currently a 32A, and want to be a 32D / 32DD, don't want to be any bigger than DD, as i only have a small frame.

Can any of you let me know your size before surgery, the implant size you chose, and what size you are now?

I know I'm being abit over dramatic, and bra sizes can't be confirmed, but I just don't want to go too big, but also don't want to spend alot of money for them to be too small.

I'm so excited for this, and cannot wait to do it, but I'm just so nervous about the size.

Like, my dude, DD's are already too big! Going from an A to DD is going to be ridiculous. And of course, it's totally not a fetish!!1!

Are there women who get breast augmentation? Of course. Are there TIMs who decide they are fine with their own drug-induced breasts? Of course.

But you see weird shit like this and you just wonder if these TIMs ever talked to a woman before. Pretty sure any woman would tell you DDs are already a nightmare and nothing but trouble.

"Doesn't want to spend a lot of money for them to be too small."

Flat chested woman here. See, I've failed at "womaning" again apparently.

I just think they post these things for attention and to masturbate over the replies they get.

In fact, I doubt this guy is "booked in" for an augmentation at all, before any kind of surgery there'd surely be conversations about size and such with the surgeon, but this person acts really clueless.

I was under the impression most people think a DD cup is "the" big size, or at least the most desired size. Makes sense then that a guy wanting to be a woman thinks a DD cup is the goal.

DD's are already too big

On another note, as a 32H I would kill to be as "small" as a 32DD.

The thing is, they forget that cup size is a ratio. Not pregnant, I'm a 32D. Pregnant I get to a 32DDD and nursing, usually to a 32DD. I too am small framed. While not tiny, they are not that big. I can run in them with a single sports bra and they don't cause me back pain. But thats because im a 32 band size. Probably diffrent if I were like a 38DD or something like that.

Yep, I'm 34G after having 2 kids, and I would love to be a "small" DD again lol

As a 36G, I wish I were a B. From the moment my breasts first appeared I was already a C, and they’ve just continued to get bigger as i age. What I wouldn’t give to be able to wear spaghetti strings or go braless in public or but an off the department store bra.

The vast majority of people, especially men but women also because the system is stupid, don't even understand how bra sizing works. I mean, looking at me, most people would clock me as a "b cup" or maybe even an "a". But my actual correct (but nigh impossible to find in stores) bra size is either a 28D or a 30C. Most women who have D cups don't line up at all with what men imagine D cups to look like in their minds. Also, my breast shape would matter if I cared about wearing a bra (I don't). Wide base, shallow, full. I never hear them mention shape or position unless they get hit with tuberous breasts (higher incidence of this deformity in men taking cross-sex hormones, apparently).

This man is claiming he's a 32A? Hm, I'm suspicious. He could be a very slender man, but most men aren't going to have a 32 inch ribcage. That is what that number refers to, and even a lot of women's ribcages aren't that small. I get the feeling he's using "32A" as a generic term for "small breasts" while having no clue how bras sizing actually works. Naturally, as a man, he won't bother to learn cause only the base minimum effort is needed to LARP as a woman.

That's what threw me off too.

He could be a very slender man, but most men aren't going to have a 32 inch ribcage.

My husband is a smaller than average guy: 5'9" and about 160 lbs. His ribcage is still bigger than mine.

For that TIM to have a 32" chest, he must be very very small. Like, bottom percentiles for males.
