- CrankMyBlueSax, on 04/09/2009, -6/+314Q: How do you make 5 pounds of fat look good?
A: Put a nipple on it. - tardmaster, on 04/10/2009, -2/+112Why does the little mermaid wear sea shells?
Because B shells are too small! - yoshi911911911, on 04/10/2009, -6/+112I, for one, welcome our new large boob overlords.
- DrDragun, on 04/10/2009, -0/+94fapping to ascii: a new low for today
- inactive, on 04/10/2009, -6/+69------------------...are finding that DD is becoming the new C.------------------------
In America, we are also finding that size 18 is becoming the new size 8
If you can find away to a void the word "FAT", most American women will do it. - mexitron5001, on 04/10/2009, -15/+69well, that's what happens when you gain weight, skanks

- samsmartjr, on 04/10/2009, -0/+38Was that like computer porn from the 70's?
- jakereilly, on 04/10/2009, -9/+45"A 2007 study of adult women by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that the prevalence of obesity — someone having a body mass index of 30 or more — has increased 2.1 percent since 2004, to 35.3 percent."
Yeah, um, let's statistically remove all the fatties and see how big the bras have gotten then.
Yuck. - Stiles05s, on 04/10/2009, -6/+40wtf at New York Times log in, buried.
- ColorBlind, on 04/10/2009, -1/+30But I liked the C cup...
- Dou6, on 04/10/2009, -5/+32I think it's bogus. 1 part fatties getting bigger boobs, 1 part bra manufacturers fibbing on their sizing. If a woman can say "I wear a D" with one brand, and only takes a C in another, she is going be drawn to that brand. Its just like how women will gravitate to the brand that makes "their" skinny jeans, even though the size is probably exactly the same, one brand they wear a 4, and the other they wear a 6, so they want more "size 4" in their closet. Much in the same way that American (and maybe much of the world) shirt sizes are changing. For instance, when I was a young kid, I always wore L, and even XL if I wanted a "baggy" shirt, but L is what fit me best. Well now, 15-20 years later, I weigh probably 20 pounds more, and feel like I am swimming in larges, and medium fits me best brand new, and then once washed, I am somewhere in between the two. What is the worst part is the midsections of shirts are getting bigger and bigger, which means a lot of shirts for men look bad on me, because I have an athletic build, especially dress shirts, I have to find "athletic cut" which is becoming more and more rare.
- AbhorrentBanana, on 04/10/2009, -8/+32I didn't read the article, but with the average American becoming so damned fat, isn't this expected? Yay for bigger boobs, oh wait, you have a huge stomach and monstrous thighs to go along with it. Good luck on that.
- jsuther, on 04/10/2009, -0/+24Womens sizes are already completely retarded. I'm glad men's sizes are logical and useful. If men had boobs, cups sizes would be a unit of volume. Example, Bob is sporting his new 48"/24oz. Manzer...
- servaite, on 04/10/2009, -0/+24I'll never see @ the same again
- inactive, on 04/10/2009, -2/+26quit dating 13 year olds
- ZincSaucier, on 04/10/2009, -1/+24i like the new boobs but i also liked the previous boobs
- jakereilly, on 04/10/2009, -1/+24I'm not overweight, I'm just big-boobed!
- JCEEZ, on 04/10/2009, -1/+22its cus there are more fat chicks. Fat chicks = bigger titties.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE LOVE titties. But my dislike of fat chicks outweighs my love of titties. It's a fine line. - xjeffx, on 04/10/2009, -2/+22Stop staring at your little sister.
- petebot, on 04/10/2009, -2/+21As the only person that seems to have read the article, it's saying that women are getting properly fitted, which usually results in a smaller band size, but larger cup size. So the boobs are the same, everyone. Nothing to see here. Still nice to think about, though...
- smemily, on 04/10/2009, -1/+20It's quite annoying how many claim this is a "fatties" problem. Unfortunately the women with small band and large cup size have been long overlooked and it is not easy for us to purchase bras in the US market. Most of us have to figure out our size the expensive way, by buying multiple $50 bras from overseas, trying, and returning some. I do not know why most US manufacturers start their band sizing at 34 and then won't make a D cup until a 36. Try finding a 32G bra locally, or heaven forbid a 28C (that's my sister) and let me know how easy it is.
- drmangrum, on 04/10/2009, -2/+20Read the article dumb ass. They addressed that. I'm some sick and ***** tired of the knee-jerk "explantion" being "Dur-hur, Uhmericuns is fatties!"
- evetsleep, on 04/10/2009, -3/+21DD's are definitely not one pound. You sir need to find a pair and get your scale re-calibrated.
- inactive, on 04/10/2009, -3/+19Now, don't get me wrong, I like boobs, but isn't one pound the average? Five times bigger than normal smells less like sexy and more like pregnant/cancerous to me.
- nuance2k5, on 04/10/2009, -0/+15Do you like to call it the "Mansierre" or "The Bro"?
- smemily, on 04/10/2009, -0/+15I'm a girl - not a guy who wears a 32G, dumbass.
- drmangrum, on 04/10/2009, -1/+15I don't get it. Your boobs didn't just miraculously inflate (although that could be really cool). The label on your bra changed. Chances are you were wearing the wrong size.
- intilli4, on 04/09/2009, -7/+21It is because of an increase in nutrients that are being transformed into hormones, like DHEA which get processed by your body and is turned into Estrogen and Testosterone.
- MikaStar, on 04/10/2009, -3/+17I can say shock. When I went bra shopping and the lady handed me a 36DD, it fit and I really didn't like that. It was like rediscovering your breasts all over again, bigger isn't always better, because you can't wear certain shirts, men stare more, it's awkward to jog, and can cause lower back pain. So shock is a good word for it.
- tgc1, on 04/10/2009, -0/+14Unless of course, you put that 5 pounds of fat with a nipple on a man. Yikes.
- failtrain, on 04/10/2009, -0/+14I just want to spend 5 minutes reading an article. Why should I have to register just for that?

"Are men's sizes this silly?"
Actually, ours are all pretty straight-forward. For the most part, it's based on leg length, arm length, and waist circumference. I can be relatively assured that 29x32 jeans will generally fit me, no matter who I buy from.
It's kinda awesome that way. I've gotten the impression most women would prefer their clothes to be the same way. Vanity sizing just makes shopping a huge pain, from what I've heard. - kocurejd, on 04/09/2009, -2/+15:)
- BenTheTank, on 04/10/2009, -4/+17Pics or it didn't happen.
- gordonp, on 04/10/2009, -0/+13Good luck under that.
- 1773nium, on 04/10/2009, -3/+16win win win win WIN!
- altgeeky1, on 04/10/2009, -1/+12Ass is good.
- AudioLoveMagic, on 04/10/2009, -1/+12I'd say you hang out in my barbershop, but you're using too many big words.
- ayeroxor, on 04/10/2009, -0/+11and 90s... BBS were still kickin ass and takin names all the way through the 90s.
- STBAT25, on 04/10/2009, -2/+13Lets start comparing the increase in breast size with the size of women's asses in all these breast size studies. I think we'd find a correlation between the two.
- NicoNicoNico, on 04/10/2009, -2/+13Because NYTimes has a tendency to require registration: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/09/fashion/09bra.ht ...
- jennyvan, on 04/10/2009, -0/+11I HATE vanity sizing. So now because the population is getting fatter, I have to go back to the bra size I wore in freaking middle school? Even though they are clearly bigger? I have pants that range any where from size 4-8. There is a big difference in what a size 4 and 8 should look like. Yet the pants are essentially the same size, just labeled differently. I KNOW when I have lost or gained weight...labeling clothes smaller than they should be is not going to make me forget that. Just because I can fit into some size 4 pants does not mean I really think I have a body like Jessica Alba. Unfortunately there are woman that think differently. Are men's sizes this silly?
- smemily, on 04/10/2009, -1/+12No, it's really not like that. First, it's not all fatties - a lot of us have small ribs and aren't fat, but just gain weight in the bust. Second, there's nothing that magic about the lettering. It's not exciting. It usually means that if buying a larger letter, you're having one hell of a hard time finding a bra and you're paying through the nose for it. I KNOW about this, I just yesterday paid $50 for a 32G bra because there is not one single local retailer that sells that size and only one common US seller (Le Mystere) that sells them at all. Any other bra in my size is imported from UK or France.
And for what it's worth, bra cup size is proportionate to ribs size, so a 32G is not as freakish as you might think. It's basically the same actual boob size as a 40C, just on a smaller set of ribs. - evetsleep, on 04/10/2009, -1/+12I differ with you sir. Where boobs are concerned, there's always something to see.
- daridave, on 04/10/2009, -0/+11"So, my email is bob nipple hotmail dot com " ...
- Kronos6948, on 04/10/2009, -0/+10The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand, that's what I read!
