“My girlfriend has been talking about getting breast implants, and I’m not sure how to respond. I mean, what guy would mind, right? But I also don’t want her to think I don’t love her the way she is, because if she decides not to get them…Do a guy a solid and tell me what to do?” — Bill C., Phoenix, AZ
I see the problem: If you say you like the idea of implants, then she decides not to get them, she’ll be stuck dating a guy who said he wanted them—bummer.
I’m just giving you a hard time, but I am curious—do you really find implants more attractive than natural breasts? I know I’m not a guy, but to me nothing is sexier than confidence, and plastic surgery reads as just the opposite of that. So if she’s talking about doing it, one could intuit that perhaps she’s feeling insecure, either with her body or your relationship. If you really love her, ask her why she wants them and assure her you love her just the way she is. If she still wants to do it, then by all means, support her, but I think your best bet is to make her feel secure in who she is now.
Now go talk to her before she decides to get a nose job, too.
