Women ask: Does MY size really matter?

large.jpgWhat if you could make "the girls" a little larger? Or if you had a backside that was oh-so-perfect and bootylicious? Would it really make a difference in the eyes of men? Find out as Tyra conducts a social experiment to ask: Does size really matter? But this time, it's the WOMEN'S edition! The guests on this show think that life would be sooo much better with bigger breasts, and others are tormented by the size of their booties. But what will the panel of guys have to say about it? Their answers will shock you!

You tell us: Are you happy about the size of your breasts and booty?

I watched the show. I would have liked to hear from the white men on the booty. The only one talking was black and it seems there is a different preference depending on race whether bigger buts are more desirable. It would have been nice to hear everyone opinions. It seemed very one-sided and not very accurate.

I'm watching the show right now, and it's crazy how all these girls are not happy about what they have! The girls with the big booty want a smaller one, and vice versa. The same is with the breasts. And they are talking about the white girls with the booty. I am a caucasian female, and I have a big booty and big breasts, and I absolutely love it! People sometimes ask me if I'm biracial because of my booty. I find it sad that all these women are unsatisfied with themselves! Ladies of all shapes and sizes are beautiful in their own way! We as women need to build up our confidence and be proud of who we are! If you find it difficult, find a role model to look up to. Everyone is so diverse, there is someone in the media for everyone to look up to. Surround yourself with people who will build you up! If there is anyone in your life who tells you that you need to change, get rid of them. It just isn't worth it.

I use to wonder what it was like to have bigger breasts, but after nursing my son for 12 months, I cannot wait to get rid of these things. I am going to burn all my bra's when I get back to my normal size. I hate bigger breasts, HATE them. I hate having to wear a bra when I exercise, I hate having to wear a bra at all. I think you should re-visit these young girls in another 15 years,when their bigger breasted friends have started having babies and gravity starts taking over.. I think maybe then they won't mind having smaller breasts.

I just saw Tuesdays (4/7/09) show and have to let you people know that there are men out there that still like the petite and healthy women. When I say healthy, i dont mean the size of your "girls" or "booty". I mean the way you take care of yourself. Not just what you eat but how much and when. Im not here to to you how to live your life. I just think you should be proud of the beautiful body God gave you. Myself?! I perfer short and petite women. Have a great dayand smile all the time!

I saw this episode and was somewhat upset by how women with larger breasts were portrayed. I am 23, wear a 34DD, fairly atheletic (about a size 6 pant and 10 top), and I am a grand total of 5'2". All of the women in my family are "blessed" with ample bosoms. It disappoints me that women want to have larger breasts. I would love to be able to buy a bathing suit in a department store or Target. I can't remember the last time I could do that. Also, I agree with many of the other statements regaurding the larger chested women on the show. They are beautiful women however, they are not very fit and if they lost weight they would probably lose their breasts. The young girls that wanted larger breasts made me laugh when they were in the stores trying on clothing. I wish it were that easy. I am too "small" to fit into the plus sized clothing and too "big" in the chest area to fit into many trend stores and finding a good bra under $40 is laughable. Final point: LEARN TO BE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF AND BE FIT...most everything else will fall into place!

I noticed that the women on the show who had "large" breasts were very overweight. If they lost the weight I suspect that none of them would be bragging about how great their top halves are, but all of them do need to get in shape to protect their health and well-being. I think this is all about what the person themselves puts value on. I have very large breasts and I am a fairly petite woman (I wear a 32DDD sometimes G) and if I lost 20 lbs I'd still be a large D or DD. I think that the women on the show need to focus on being fit and healthy rather than distracting themselves from the real issue. I personally do wish I had a black girl booty (I am VERY top heavy in comparison to my bottom half)but I've never had a problem attracting the brothers. I think I'll just love what I have and work on what I can and focus on being healthy and getting in shape!

I was watching this show - and thinking it would have been more (or at least just as) interesting to see how women commented on other women's bodies. Their booties, their breasts, etc. I find women to be more judgmental. I was recently in a gym change room and saw a woman with perfect breasts walking around for a while topless but with a towel around her bottom (I tried not to look but it was hard). I was talking to my girlfriends about it after saying I was wondering if she was doing it to get the attention of women - not in a sexual way - but moreso just to show off her perfectly sized and shaped breasts. My friends and I all have big chests (oddly - I even had an ex point out to me that I only hang out with people who are big chested) so I mostly see only one persepective. We had only one friend that was smaller chested and she ended up having surgery to "enhance" her chest - and found out exactly what we had told her - big chests aren't all they're cracked up to be.

I just wanted to say Tyra handled the "I felt like a lesbian" comment very well. The generalization that lesbians are "athletic" was ridiculous. "You know what I mean" the woman says..."I do?" tyra responds...lol nice...

I have to agree with some of the other posts regarding the women on the show and their breasts. Yes, it is nice to have big breasts, (which the last woman that came on the show is a LOT bigger than she said she was) I am a 40 DDD and mine are definately smaller than hers. Anyways, Having breasts or not should not be the only reason why a guy goes out with a girl if that is the ONLY thing they look for then they have the problem not the women. To those men, shame on you for making woman feel like they have to be like a BARBIE DOLL! God made us the way we are and if you don't like it TOO BAD! it is ABSOLUTELY your loss for not giving people a chance..... SMILE everyone you are beautiful the way you are. OH! for those of you who want implants you are silly it isn't fun to ALWAYS have back pain and not being able to find clothes to fit. I have to go to a PLUS SIZE store to get my bras and shirts and then to the other stores for the bottoms. NOT TO MENTION TRY TO FIND A DRESS TO FIT.... Oh well it's me and I LOVE ME I am FABOULOUS!

I saw the show today and I thought that it was horrible. I have A size breasts, and I also struggled with low self esteem all throughout highschool. The show focused on conveying the message that bigger breasts are better and will make you happy. The little "experiment" where two girls got bigger breasts while two others were made to appear smaller supported this message. Then they had that lady with the huge breasts who claimed that she got things all the time from men because of her massive breasts. Overall I thought that the show was demeaning. If the Tyra Banks show is supposed to give young women a role model it is failing miserably. The show should have focused on women who are happy with their bodies, and focus on inner beauty rather than the outer package. Everyone can be beautiful regardless of what they look like. Tyra ended the show by stating that the message that everyone is different and should love what they have, but the entire show focused on the message that bigger breasts are better. Overall thoroughly unimpressed.

I have small breasts and have struggled with low self-esteem from them since puberty. I watched the show today and was left feeling hopeless. Every single man on the stage said they would not date a woman with a size A cup, some not even B cups. The confidence in the girls in the experiment was strongly correlated with the size of their breasts. Bottom line, I watched the show hoping to gain some security in my small breasts, but ended up very disheartened. Tyra ended with the theme of the day being "the grass is greener on the other side," but the entire show really focused on bigger is better.
