Padded Bras.. Misleading? Right or Wrong?

11,602 836 June 30, 2009 at 07:18 PM
I was thinking about the reasons etc.. behind padded bras. I've had this argument w/ other before.

So. my thought is basically that it's probably something normally to attract guys or maybe to increase the self esteem of the female wearing it. But misleading if you're a prospective guy? probably..

so in contrast what if a guy well had a sock stuffed down his pants. He could always argue not only does it increase his self esteem, but could make him attractive to some women. But women aren't typically drawn to a male's physical endowment quite so much.. so.

What if a guy only hinted at being say a doctor or someone very financially successful. Not a full out lie, but something more like a padded bra, something that was misleading visually and left the rest to your own imagination. So if a guy were to create a persona that made one believe he was a 150k+ earner while actually only being an everyday Joe.. would that be wrong?

I think most males would think this is equivalent while most females would say it's apples and oranges. But really nobody here is lying. you're just created something that draws others to conclusions that are incorrect.

I have huge knockers, and I wear padded bras, because well they are far more comfy than those other bras.
However I don't buy the thick padded ones.

And you think too much Big Grin

hmm, perhaps we can consider it false advertising and get the FTC involved.

I wouldn't mind it if the government said women can't wear bra's drool

Interesting comparison.

I think you are right. Most people in society would say that padding, etc on a woman is fine, but a man stretching the truth is wrong. Actually, there's a better example. Oftentimes, men and women will withhold information for a few dates. Like for example, when I first meet a woman I don't immediately blurt out, "Hi.. I'm divorced and have 4 kids". laugh out loud Not a good way to make a first impression. If asked, I will just say," yeah, I have kids. " Is this bad or immoral? I really don't think so. No one volunteers that they are emotionally unstable, irresponsible, etc. when the couple first meets. That is part of the fun of dating, finding all that out on your own. laugh out loud

I can see why women feel a lot of pressure to cheat on their appearance and even have plastic surgery, and I'm not going to condemn them for that.

I also support banning bras. yummy

Sometimes I wear padded bras, sometimes sports bras, sometimes lacy bras with little support, and sometimes no bra. It depends upon the outfit I am wearing the bra with. Padded bras look cute with a tight sweater but not so much with a sundress or something. I'm not as well endowed as Kazey drool, but a padded bra for me isnt too much of false advertising. I'm a 38C and have an average build. Now maybe if a super skinny girl with pretty small breasts wore a knock out padded bra it may seem to be false advertising but you can tell its a bra, and so what? Most guys love boobs of all sizes, period.
