(Mildly NSFW) What determines if a man has a preference for breasts or butts?

Asked by MrsDufresne (3554points) March 4th, 2010

Some men are “breast men” and some men are “butt men”, LOL…what determines this? Experiences in their formative years, I’d guess. But what kind of experiences?

I have no idea as I love them both

TexasDude's avatar

my first real girlfriend had a glorious ass, so I guess that’s why I’m an ass man

So yeah, the “formative years” theory sounds accurate.

People just have different tastes. I prefer my men with dark hair instead of blond hair. Why? Dunno. Maybe because I have dark hair myself? (I realize this theory doesn’t work for men and T&A preference..)

in my vast experience they like em both

I don’t think psychologists and the like have found an answer for this yet. There are too many factors to consider, it could something as trivial as seeing the right porno at a young age that sparks a boob, ass, foot preference etc.

I lost my virginity to a big girl with a huge butt, and I haven’t strayed from the preference ever since.

Wait… we’re supposed to choose?

it is probably connected to his formative years with his mother. The Jesuits used to say something like, “Give me a child until he is seven, and he is mine forever.”

I prefer faces/eyes but then butts and lastly breasts.
What determines it – could be what you have or have not been exposed to.

Consider this, if you were a nudist (for a long time), you’d likely ignore all parts except for the face. Then the face would be your most important criterion.

If you’re not a nudist, what have you been MOST exposed to? (Actual exposure, in person). What have you been least exposed to?
According to this theory, you’re more likely going to form an ‘obsession’ about the parts you have not experienced enough.

As such I wonder if there’s a correlation with breast-fed males, vs non-breast fed – and up until what age. I know I was breast-fed.

But it’s just a theory, looking forward to other replies.

Both are good and great.

The question in my mind is why some guys are so drawn to feet. I just don’t get it…

I adhere to the Eodipus complex concept. I think men look for women that remind them of their mothers in body type and temperment.

I prefer the ear lobe. Women with perfeclty round, gigantic ear lobes are hot.

No, actually I think I like breasts very slightly more than butts. I don’t know why though, maybe it’s genetic.

njnyjobs's avatar

at first sight, it’s the breast . . . on hind sight, the ass. ...

TexasDude's avatar

@stump, umm, my mom is tall, blonde, child-like, and care-free. I prefer short, brunette, pensive women. I beat Freud.

coogan's avatar

As a teen, I was all about the breast, but now I’ve realized there’s only so much booby I can inhale. Booties! That’s where it’s at, I can grab two handfuls and plow my lady in a sensual manner. I get to say “I hate to see you leave, but I love to see you walk away.” Besides, cosmetic surgery has made it too easy to get a nice pair of ta-tas, you have to work on getting those tight glutes.

I need both or the deal is off!

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard What is your mom’s phone number?

erichw1504's avatar

@stump Hahaha, that just made my day.

MrsDufresne's avatar

@phoebusg Interestingly, the men that I know that were not breast fed turned out to have a preference for the posterior.

Seek's avatar

I think men are attracted to women who appear to be fertile, healthy, and likely to pass on their genes.

For example, blonde women may be considered attractive because blonde hair is a recessive gene, and brown-haired men are likely to pass on their hair colour (not a perfect example, but the simplest one I can come up with).

I think we’re all naturally attracted to the types that best suit our evolutionary progress. One wouldn’t mate with a 90 lb vegan boy with acne if they were looking to have big strong offspring.

I don’t know. But I’m a boob man.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard I was just kidding. I hope that is not your mom’s real phone number.

phoebusg's avatar

@MrsDufresne we may be on to something then. I wonder if there’s any research on this :)

TexasDude's avatar

@stump, lol, it’s not. It’s one of my college buddies. He needs a good trollin’ every now and then.

CMaz's avatar

I need to see some pictures.

erichw1504's avatar

@Sarcasm You sure look like one.

Which ever one is bigger :)

ucme's avatar

Tit man here.Because a firm pert breast is just about the most wonderous thing known to man bar none.Besides I just love the parp sound they make when squeezed.A kind of multi purpose toy yay!!

wundayatta's avatar

Researchers have determined that it is an imprinting kind of thing. It really depends on when you open your eyes. If you don’t open your eyes until you put on your mother’s breast, they you’re a breast man. If you open your eyes much sooner, then, counter intuitive as it might seem, you’re an ass man. Those who don’t have a preference opened their eyes when there was no part of their mother’s anatomy visible. Sometimes they become doorknob men. Sad, but true.

I love both breasts and butts, but you were right in your question, your ideals are formed by part nature and part nurture, that old chestnut. If I were a woman, I would make my back side and bust look as good as they could do, then I wouldnt miss out on mr womderful ( who may be either a boob or butt man!!)

OperativeQ's avatar

@WickedTickles Boobs and breasts are the same thing.

CMaz's avatar

No, a boob can’t appreciate a good breast.

@PacificRimjob Good luck finding anything thanks to Firefox’s private browsing mode.

@Sarcasm Hah, so one keyboard shortcut takes up too much of your time?

No preference here. Well, I guess I would prefer small breasts and a full butt than no butt at all and big boobs. But then there are leggs, thighs, calves, skin, complexion, and lots and lots of pubic hair, natural and untrimmed. Oh, one other thing I do like about butts, although I know it’s possible, butt implants are not ubiquitous as fake tits….so that’s awfully nice. Usually what you’re feeling back there is real.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Short, brunette here. Call me…. ;)

sleepdoc's avatar

I don’t know why I like what I like, but I am a butt guy. I tried to think of a reason, but it seems to be unexplainable.

TexasDude's avatar

@sjmc1989, anytime, dollface. oh by the way, I’ve got a new song for you: “Cosmic Love” by Florence and the Machine

sleepdoc's avatar

Are you two hijacking the thread to get mushy on us?

TexasDude's avatar

@sleepdoc, I don’t know about mushy… more like hard

Facade's avatar

Some of it is cultural. Most black men love a big ol’ ass and could care less about the boobage. And, stereotypically, white guys love boobs. So :shrug:

I, however, like both.

sjmc1989's avatar

@sleepdoc Hey I whispered so everyone could ignore us… and I don’t do mushy!
