Ok. Before I even begin this post I feel a great need to justify myself. Strange eh when talking to a bunch of strangers. Smile

I really am a normal guy. Honest even the western women in Japan say that I am a decent bloke. (western men here have a pretty low rep)

I've talked about leqaving Japan on another thread so won't bore you with more details. Looking for a new country to try my luck in and wonder if you have any thoughts. PLEASE don't flame me but where would you say had the most voluptous women? (I can already feel the heat)

All my friends know that I have always been somewhat attracted to one aspect of a women's charms more than any other. I guess in the same way that many women find a man's height none negotiable well for me, lets just say that I was disappointed to hear that Lara Croft2 wasn't digitally enhanced.

You can imagine that 6 years in Japan have taken their toll. 40 days and 40 nights in the desert are nothing. So I'm hoping that the next place will be a little more to my, er, size.

So don't be shy. What do you think? Lets get a really good conversation going on the topic. It may even turn into a mass debate. (sorry, couldn't resist)

Ahh, the true cost of living in "the dunes".

Lara is a symbol to young women all over the world. A role model. A beacon of light to any young girl who asks that age old question, "what kind of women do I want to be?"

She is a fictional character from a computer game that has also been made into an all action hero for the big screen. A kinda female version of Indiana Jones. Fearless, brave and to quote Rik Mayle (sp) "a wazza set of jugs"

I see, rather like Betty Boop ! She is, perhaps, before your time.

I've never heard that Lara was such an inspiring role model to women. When I was younger, I tried to play the games, but I found them too boring and obnoxiously uninspirational. The story lines were really shallow... (Kinda like this thread. *cough*)

"What kind of women do I want to be?" I think if any little girl compares herself to a 3-D animation she must have a lot of "issues." Not to mention a lot of disappointments ahead. Which will no doubt be your prospects if you try to find and measure real women to fiction.

But if you are looking for Lara, try the rental store. I hear a night with her is getting cheaper every month. Wink

Umm, do I detect that I have already less than endeared myself to the members of the fairer (cough) sex.
That is why I put in the comment about comparing it to a man's height. I have never met a women who feels at all embarressed to say that she would never go out with a short man, but when an equally arbritary physical requirement is mentioned by a man the same women get all offended. Why?

Actually the bit about Lara was only a joke you know. In fact I haven't even seen her movies. Mind you thanks for the advice. I would probably be up for spending a couple of pound for a night with her in the privacy of my apartment.

Good on you for being honest Sid! Smile

To be honest, though, I don't know a country where women have bigger-*beep*-than-average. It's strange that we can easily identify Japanese girls as having smaller boobs - but it's noticably harder (pardon the pun) to identify countries with women who have bigger ones.

Alas, the best looking women (i.e. those in Scandinavia) invariably speak better English than those who teach it - thus there aren't many jobs going over there.

I've seen some fairly well-endowed African tribeswomen on the Discovery Channel - but I don't think there are too many job opportunities over that way either.

Of course for me a woman's physical appearance is not important. I don't care how she looks - it's only her personality and strength of character that turns me on. I think you'll find that all of the guys here on Dave's agree with me.. Shame on you for being attracted to women's *beep*! Smile

A few posters have already said this, but what's this talk about young girls wanting to be Lara Croft? Honestly, at the risk of sounding like either a dweeb or a... (whatever the name is, if there is one, for a girl who wants small boobs), I had never heard of her until the recent Hollywood movies, which I have not seen.

On the subject of physical attributes, where might we ladies find the most, ahem, well-endowed men?

Sid, when these women were talking about men's "height", you thought they meant "how tall" men are? (Ahem, read Denise's post. Laughing Wink )

I don't think the shallowness is so much that ol' Sid here likes certain, uh, attributes in a female, but the fact that he is going to base what country he moves to and works in on those attributes...well, that to me is the epitome of shallow. But Sid could still be a really nice guy. Hmmmm...what's your shoe size, there, Sid? Twisted Evil

Inflatable dolls can be adjusted in size to one's desire, or so I hear, Sid!
Easy to stuff in your travel bag, and posing no difficulties at the X-ray machine

Sid, like Leeroy, I respect your honesty. That being said, you knew you were going to get flamed here in a big way. You asked not to be flamed and then close by saying "Let's get a really good conversation going on the topic. It may even turn into a mass debate." You were soooo asking for it! That being said, I'm glad a conversation has been started...I love this thread!

While I agree that it would be pretty shallow to move somewhere based on the breast size of the local ladies or how well-endowed the local men might be, I do think one important consideration when moving to a different country is what the dating scene will be like there. I think this is what Sid is getting at, and I think that certain physical attributes are just part of his equation (For example, what good would it do to move to a place where the people are physically perfect, but they don't give you the time of day?). Personally, what the dating scene is going to be like in a given country is definitely something I consider before making any decisions about where to go. If you are single, don't you agree that evaluating the dating scene before you move somewhere to teach is at least a part of the decision-making process?

Captain Kirk--

Uh oh--you've injected a rational thought into what could have degenerated into a boobie-fest!

As a single woman in a land where all the foreign men go ga-ga over the local ladies (leaving us foreigner gals with at the least a bit of an inferiority complex and at worst a major bitterness), yes, I'd agree that the potential dating scene is an important element when deciding where to live. But sheeeez, please tell me men value more than *beep* in women!
