I got the Idea of this thread from another thread here, but decided to start a new one because my depiction was a big lengthy and it deviated a bit from this other threads original topic.
I will start with the inspired quotes about Imperfections in a women
From Rockin Dude
Imperfections can be sexy ..beauty comes in many different ways Someone can be very ugly with a bad personality no matter what they look like !
From Gallows Humor
if the person is the right one...there are no imperfections
If I understand Rockin Dude “imperfections “ and he may just be referring to “societies depiction of imperfection”, are not necessarily imperfect to him.
I agree Imperfections can be sexy, they represent unconditional love and acceptance for your mate, and a connection on a deeper level than just surface looks.
To give a simple example, it means that I love you and are deeply connected to you, and will not toss you out the door and trade you in for another model as your looks change.
In reference to this topic, there is a certain women, I won’t use her name because I don’t want to embarrass her, unless she volunteers it, recently mentioned that one of her boobs is smaller than the other and it bothers her, and she admits that she is caught up and vested in our media’s view of the perfect women, and this breeds dissatisfaction and unhappiness when the way she looks at herself and compares.
She even admits that the media’s depiction of beauty is skewed but if they wont change then she will conform through surgery.
This really surprised me that this very bright, outspoken and typically non conformist women, when it comes to media pressure on women’s depiction of beauty, the pressure was to just too strong.
If the women in my life was buying into this skewed media interpretation and feeling bad about herself as so many women do, while she looked at the airbrushed 14 year old on the cover, I would say your discontent and unhappiness is for one reason, it sells clothes and beauty products, it is not even anything that I feel, so don’t think you need to be this way for me, even if the magazines tell you so..
People complain and complain about this skewed depiction in the media, but with the exception of Dove Soap, nothing ever changes.
As long as you are discontent, you will try to buy your way from discontentment, or as in the case of the above-mentioned woman, buy your way to beauty through surgery.
While there is profit in a women’s discontentment, most in the industry will want to keep it just the way it is.
It doesn’t seem to be a very noble way to operate an industry, to capitalize and profit on a women’s unhappiness, of which you are responsible for creating.
Me personally, I think we can change the world and change perceptions one person at a time, and I think Imperfections ARE sexy and are what make use different and unique, embrace them. [  e18]

Ken's one latent ovary must be acting up again.
There may be a few men who are the exception to the rule, but by and large, men are visual creatures. They seek perfection, in my experience. They won't hesitate to tell you if something isn't right. Be it your breasts, waistline, or whatever else offends in their eyes.
Applause for the men who dare to scratch the surface.

From talking with women on different sites, in real during "chats"... I would venture to say that a big percentage of women do have one breast smaller then the other. I am just glad I have em.. makes me no never mind if one wants to claim the fame over the other
Trying to be perfect puts way to much pressure on humans.. I say make the best of what you have, love and accept yourself and others will be able to do the same

We could alway just draw a smilly face with eyes on your boobs,then you will have two heads.
As they say, two heads are better than one, and for that guy searching for a two-headed girl friend, you would be perfect.

people forget that these high dollar fashion models have to go home and remove all the warpaint from their faces.. and I have seen some that are just bark at the moon ugly.. some that have the worst complexions .. they are normal women just like he rest of us at the end of the day.. except for the size of their bank accounts and the size of their egos.

It's getting younger and younger. I hear it's the hormones in meat and dairy.
