Despite the fact that it’s relatively common, there’s a lot of stigma attached to plastic surgery. People who get it are often seen as vain, shallow, emotionally messed up, or people who want attention from the opposite sex. Though every surgery has people who stigmatize it, few surgeries have as many stigmas attached to it as breast augmentation. Here’s what women have to say to guys who assume things about their boob jobs. (Note: To keep women’s identities safe, we used random photos of people who purportedly have augmentations.)
Would you ever get a boob job? Tell us in the comments below…
“I’m happily married, and no, these weren’t for my husband.” - Nicole, 35. Nicole said that the reason she got her breasts augmented was because she was really struggling with her body image after she had 2 kids. Her most loved parts of her body were now small, saggy, and unshapely. She said, “These weren’t put in to pick guys up. They were to pick ME up!”
“Yes, I have implants, no I’m not desperate.” - Victoria, 45. Victoria said that she had always wanted breast implants and that she immediately went for it when she saved up enough money. Many guys seem to think that an older woman with implants signals desperation. She added, “If I hear one more guy offer casual sex when they notice they’re fake, so help me…”

“Just because I have fake breasts doesn’t mean that I’m a sugar baby.” - Melanie, 24. Melanie said that people make some rather terrible assumptions because she’s young and had breast augmentation. According to her, guys approach her asking if she’s willing to sleep with them for money. She added, “I got these because I had breast cancer. I want guys to leave me alone.”

“No, I’m not trying to impress guys.” - Alana, 28. Alana always wanted large breasts, but she never really grew past an A cup. Her augmented breasts are a huge boost to her confidence, and she regularly flaunts them in her clothing choices. When was asked her what was the worst issue, she said, “People assume I’m trying to impress guys.”
“These weren’t a gift from my boyfriend. Jesus!” - Diana, 32. Diana is currently dating a hedge fund manager, and a lot of people think that he’s the one who paid for her breast augmentation. The truth is that she works as an attorney, and this was her treat to herself for her 30th birthday. “People need to get a life,” she said.

“These breasts are not for guys.” - Masha, 29. Masha views her body like a canvas that she can improve - and her boob job is far from the only body modification she’s had in recent years. Much like many other women, she’s tired of hearing people tell her she did it for male attention.

“I don’t get why people can’t be happy for me looking the way I want to look.” - Wanda, 36. Wanda has always struggled with trying to make herself look the way she envisioned herself to be inside. She explained that people seem to judge her for “being plastic and fake.” As she said, “It’s my body, not theirs. Why can’t they be happy that I feel happier in my body?”
“If they were this big naturally, I’d still be called a slut anyway.” - Bethany, 30. Bethany said that she realized that breasts of her size will always be stigmatized, and that she doesn’t care what people think. She said, “If I want to have G cups, I will have G cups. There’s no way you can win with some people.”

“I got them because I don’t want to look like a boy - not because I want to attract boys!” - Maria, 22. Maria said that her issue was that her figure is naturally boyish - but she always wanted to look feminine. In order to enhance what she’s got, she decided it was time to upgrade her breast size. Oddly enough, Maria said that a lot of guys seemed upset about her choice. “I keep having to tell them that my boob job wasn’t to attract guys,” she mused. “They kept telling me I looked so hot when I had smaller breasts.”

“The implants hide my cancer scars.” - Hannah, 37. Hannah had breast cancer at 32, and had to undergo a mastectomy. She said that the implants are something that make her feel whole again. She then added, “I honestly don’t care what people think. This is my treat to myself as a cancer survivor.”
“My bodybuilding makes it hard for me to have noticeable natural breasts.” - Francine, 29. Francine loves her bodybuilding hobby, especially when it means hitting the gym’s weights. But, there was an issue. In her pursuit of getting ripped, she lost her breast mass. She said, “The boob job helps me keep in touch with my feminine side. If people can’t handle that, they can kick rocks!”

“The best policy you can have is to keep your mouth shut.” - Mei, 29. Mei said that she was sick of hearing men talk about how she’d look “fine without breast implants.’ Since her last birthday, she had gotten into the habit of just telling men to shut up. Hopefully, they’ll learn to do so soon!

“People need to stop treating plastic surgery like a sin.” - Tanya, 28. Tanya is a huge plastic surgery fan, and feels like it has given her a huge amount of confidence. She regularly gets comments about her “fake look,” and even had a guy say he “wouldn’t date a pool float.” Do you, Tanya. Don’t let haters get you down!
“I got them because I legitimately love the plastic look.” - Caitlin, 30. Caitlin said that she got them because she likes the “fake look.” She explained that she feels like she’s more put together, and that it makes her feel more confident. She noted, “Why I wanted a boob job is no one’s concern but mine.”
“Ladies, I just want to tell you, no, I’m not after your man.” - Tasha, 35. Tasha said her biggest issue was with catfights that would happen when women see her talking to their boyfriends. She explained, “Yes, I have fake breasts, but that doesn’t mean I’m a homewrecker.”
