Default Do French Women tend to be less endowed than other Women?

Hello, I have a question for those of you who have been to France. I
have a friend that recently came back from Paris, and she said that
she couldn't find any larger bras to purchase in the lingerie shops. I
remember reading that Anne Cole, a top swimsuit designer saying that
French women, " had short legs and no bosom to speak of, though they
use push-up bras to great advantage."
I have heard that there are some men in France who, (supposedly)
like women with no breast, though I don't if that is really true or
not. Are French women born naturally with this boyish type of figure,
or is it just how french women themselves prefer to look?

Or perhaps they have a healthier diet?

(Putting my male chauvinist hat on: Oversized may have some advantages at
20. But it typically results in disaster at 50...)

No complaints, as it were.

French women are generally not oversized in any sense of the word.
However, you will find more women of larger size in the country side, on
the farms, in Normandy and Bretagne than Paris.

French men are not as "breast oriented" as American, for instance,
the "rondeur" they focus on is the back side.

The real question is whether large breasts the standard world wide
in the human female? Or historically. I don`t see them in Greek or Egyptian
statuary.

The human form does transmit a message of the gender of the individual. The
mature female is recognizable by hair, breasts, hips and bottom at a
distance, and perhaps some body language. Some recent studies show that men
will select women as mates on the basis of hip size, which relates back
to being able to bear children (theirs!). I suspect that hips are more
important that breast size since the later usually end up producing
milk once the child is born.

Freud said that the first thing a human adult does when encountering another
human adult is establish gender. For the male, the female is a potential
mate. Another male is a potential enemy, competition.

I can't imagine the attraction of "no breast" as you put it. Petite or
smallish breasts, however, can be quite attractive depending on the build of
the woman. I would think most men -- French or not -- would agree with
this.

There are probably many less plus sized women in Paris than in any American
cities.

Yes. They're born naturally without implants.

Like, for instance, in Brest?

It's been pretty well established that Freud's sexual
obsessions and other social problems are not particularly
relevent to the rest of us.

French women seem to have slightly smaller breasts than most women of
European ancestry, yes.

They are naturally that way. French men and women tend to have slightly
more slender and delicate builds than is average for Europeans. French
women are relatively flat, and American women have commented to me that
many French men seem scrawny to them.

They do, but their physiques are mostly the result of genes. No
American woman of Dutch and German ancestry is likely to look that small
and slender, no matter what her diet.
