I was in Austin a month ago for a friend's wedding, and I stayed at my aunt and uncle's house while I was out there. They live on the lake, but for some reason, all of the rooms have baskets with magazines in them from like 6 years ago. I found an old copy of InStyle (the only thing nearby to read, and the most current), and stumbled across the above ad. The most intriguing part is the "Discover the Kindness of Strangers" tagline. If you have bigger boobs, are people really nicer to you? According to the women I know, people just stare more often. Your mileage may vary, but this ad makes me skeptical.
I dunno. That ad sorta makes me want to help her... find her bra-clasp.

Yes, this is true. People are nicer to you. It's because they want to be around your breasts, or touch them, or more, but they are still nicer. I don't think it's just men, it's everyone. Maybe large breasts make a woman seem soft and motherly. I don't know if the same is true for women with gigantic implants. Those are scary to me. It's something about a soft pile of cleavage that makes people want to hug you and take a nap on your chest. It's why the butcher gives me extra meat. Because he wants to. And he can.
