    [Read the article: Should I get my breasts enlarged?]

    Don't do it. You will regret them in your 30's or 40's.

    Small boobs are such an asset in the real world. They'll never sag, you'll never have back pain, you'll never have to worry about the blouses you wear to work. Even a small upgrade can cause you lower back pain in your 30's or 40's. When you reach your 30's you'll wish you had appreciated how hot and gorgreous you were in your 20's and lament how you went around thinking how not beautiful you are, when you are totally good looking and sexy now.

    Plus, I know women who had small breasts, got pregnant, breastfed and they never shrank back to small. Do you really want to have 3 or 4 breast surgery's in your lifetime, implants are not permanent. At least a nose job is just once.

    Tara Reid, a gorgeous and sexy girl got implants and they were bad and we can be fairly certain she didn't go to some hack surgeon. So ask yourself, how would you feel if the implant scarring misshaped your breasts? I know a guy who dated a girl who did what you are planning, she just got a small upgrade to a b-cup. Everyone still knew they were fake because they looked funny and she got the under the muscle kind, I asked. He told us he hated the way they felt so he didn't even touch them anymore.

    Plus, you've got that whole faulty woman thought going on. Just because men drool over big breasts does not mean they PREFER them to small breasts, men like breasts! Period! They like them big, they like them small, some men like butts better, some men are leg men.

    Do not compare yourself to people on TV or on the silver screen or on some large billboard. There will always be some fantasy woman that is prettier and sexier than you, especially as you get older. With the 5 grand you spend on this surgery, you could take a nice vacation somewhere. Perhaps spend some time in Asia where a majority of the women are small breasted and find out that they are just as desireable to their men folk.

    You have to learn how to be happy in the skin you're in, it will happen over time because as you age you learn that media is bullshit, it's there to sell things. Pretty people sell things and those pretty people eventually age and are replaced with new younger pretty people. The fact is if you are this unhappy when 24, things are going to get a lot rougher as you age.

    If you change your breasts, you'll just find some other thing about yourself that you don't like because it doesn't match the "media". Screw the media, it changes all the time, what if small boobs come back in style?

    I heartily disagree with you.

    Before I started having sex, I used to get yeast infections fairly regularly, the women in my family were pretty prone to them so there was always yougurt in our house and my mother shunned all sugary products, they were a once in a while special occasion thing.

    Then I went on the pill and let my husband cum inside me, I haven't had a yeast infection in over 10 years.

    I disagree that he should win best actor, I knew from the first damn scene he was in, that he was not really a mafia person. If he was the "best" I shouldn't have been able to spot him as an undercover agent in less than 5 minutes.

    Even if he did fight naked. I thought History of Violence was a much better film.

    [Read the article: Somebody tell my husband to slow down!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    You should indeed play sports seperately, he's just much faster, he is indeed a man and men in general are faster and can throw farther and if he can't play nice, just don't play with him. My husband used to be a really sore loser when we were dating, so I said if you can't learn to accept that sometimes I'm going to win, then I'm just not ever going to play a game with you. He learned to check his anger and realize that your girlfriend beating you at pool or cards once in a while is no big deal.

    As for the walking thing though, that just makes him a prick. I have short legs, though I'm a speedy walker. All my friends and my husband are tall and have long legs, through no fault of their own I generally end up a few paces behind them. Then I say hey, wait up. They slow down, apologize and slow their pace so we can converse or walk together, hubby especially has to do this if I'm in heels.

    Since your husband is prick master general regarding walking so far ahead of you that you could get lost in a crowd. I suggest a little prickness of yourself, when he's walking 5 paces in front of you, just stop and go home or call a friend and go out with them. He won't notice that you're gone for a little while, but when he does, if he honestly gives a shit about you he'll panic and wonder what the heck happened to you.

    The fact of the matter is, what if you guys had a child? A child cannot walk as fast as an adult, would he just walk half a block ahead of them and say hey, you better run if you want to catch up. I mean shit, you have shorter legs than him, tell him that physically you cannot walk as fast as he does and he is being insensitive and cruel to expect you to jog beside him like you're some dog.
