Project Horizon #2: “I Don’t Care if Those Boobs are Fake, as Long as They’re Huge!”

This is actually from a conservation I had with a male friend one summer at university. We were sitting at a cafe patio, people watching, when we saw a woman with out-of-proportion breasts walking down the street in very skimpy cloths.

“There’s no way those are real.” I said.

My friend, ever the player, said: “Who cares? As long as they’re big!”

His thinking is not uncommon, not just from a man casually observing a woman on the street, but also from some men toward their women. It could be explained by Project Horizon. As discussed in the last post, Project Horizon is an analysis of a project based on its duration, by mapping out the timeline of its costs and benefits.

Take a look at the side-effects (costs) of cosmetic surgery: silicone granulomas, breast hardening, etc. Quite a lot of them won’t show up until much later. Yet the pretty boobies (benefits) are here to be seen and enjoyed right now. If a man doesn’t plan to stick around, who cares if she’ll be in constant pain thirty years later? If he has no plan to have children with her, he could care less if one day her implants leak and breast-feeding becomes an issue.

That’s why these men don’t care if the breasts aren’t real, as long as they’re nice and big right now. That’s the difference between looking at someone with a long-term versus a short-term horizon.

So girls, if your man tells you he thinks you’ll look really hot with a new pair of porn-star boobies, beware!
