There are many reasons small breasts are good. For starters when you talk to men, there's a better than even chance they'll realize your eyes are in your head and not on your chest. Consequently you will most likely meet men who are interested in you rather than your body. Ones who tend to only have sex on their minds, will tend to leave you alone if you have a small bust.
Finding clothes and lingerie, especially bras that fit comfortably is much easier. If you have large breasts, having properly fitting bras are a must. If the weather gets too hot, you can run around bra-less without having to feel self conscious that others are staring because your chest is moving at a different rate. Back problems is another area of concern, large busted women tend to have back problems. As you age, this problem gets worse, forcing large busted women to consider breast reductions to avoid this. The excessive weight on their chest tends to cause their spine to curve to compensate for the weight.
Physically strenuous activity like running or aerobic dancing are out. Unless you can find a good sports bra to hold your breasts firmly, the more you move, the more they'll flop. Small breasted women don't have this problem. Even tasks like fitting into small spaces like behind the steering wheel of a compact car, could be an unpleasant challenge for a woman with large breasts. Activities like Spelunking or cave exploration is definitely out of the question for large busted women.
Additionally there are health concerns such as a study done in January 2008 that seems to show a correlation between Type 2 Diabetes and breast size. It appears there is a relationship between large busted middle age women developing diabetes. The report can be seen at http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/178/3/289 Another study shows women with large breasts tend to develop larger breast cancer tumors, see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2474642/ Studies to see if larger breast sizes make a woman more susceptable to developing breast cancer are still being done.
So small busted women, rejoice! Not having large breasts may not be that bad a deal. I've always felt it was more important for a woman to develop her personality than her body and hopefully any readers of this article, will agree.
