A Visit to Boobie Land

So, guys are supposed to love breast implants, right? I mean…right? Well it turns out that in the real world, most men aren’t so thrilled when their significant others announce intentions to get boob jobs. There’s a pretty rollicking conversation going down at the Breast Implants board in response to the question, “How did your DH/SO react when you first announced you wanted this surgery?”

cl-elise918 writes, “My DH has made it very clear that I will NOT have this surgery. He also threatened that if I ever got a tattoo, he would divorce me.” Whoa, nelly. What if it was a tattoo of him? But I digress. jodi_doodlbug adds, “I've not visited BoobieLand myself but I know how DH would react ... the same way he reacts when I tell him I want to get my hair cut. He instantly bristles at the idea and grills me with why questions (who am I trying to impress), then he tells me there's no need to impress anyone else and he likes me the way I am.”

Interesting – this comes up a lot. Husbands and boyfriends seem to be reacting with suspicion and worry, as if when their ladies look and feel better they will be left in the dust. And maybe these men have hidden insecurities of their own – maybe they suspect that they are not helping the women in their lives feel beautiful and sexy enough. You think?

I'm thinking Kid Rock is not one of these guys.

So anyway, what would your husband or boyfriend say if you were going to get breast implants? (Other than “Woo-hoo”?)

What would you say if he was going to get plastic surgery of some kind?
