"Researchers have attempted to justify this belief with the concept of "reproductive readiness," the idea that evolution has shaped men to prefer women on the larger side because big breasts produce more milk, which contributes to infant survival and helps perpetuate humanity. But this argument has two serious flaws. Breasts of any size can successfully nurture infants. And studies have shown that men's breast-size preferences are surprisingly unpredictable."
"Most men like any breasts that emerge from bras, especially those attached to their female partners. That's what UCLA and Cal State, Los Angeles, researchers found in an enormous online survey of 52,227 heterosexual adults. Among the men, a majority of 56 percent expressed feeling "satisfied" with their partners' breasts. But among the women, only 30 percent felt the same about their own. Younger and thinner women fretted that theirs were too small. Older and heavier women worried about"
An evolutionary argument called "reproductive readiness" posits that men prefer larger breasts because of perceived milk-production advantages, but that idea has two flaws: breasts of any size can nourish infants, and men's preferences vary widely. Survey data from 52,227 heterosexual adults showed 56 percent of men reported satisfaction with their partners' breasts, while only 30 percent of women felt satisfied with their own. Younger and thinner women often worry their breasts are too small, while older and heavier women worry about size changes. Both sexes value breast shape and nipple pigmentation, and fashion and women's mental health affect women's opinions.
