Sounds like a joke but this is a serious theory on why women have boobs.

It's a huge debate in the scientific world as to why women have evolved to have breasts. People have said various things but none of them really hold up. For example, some people say it's to feed infants... But there are plenty of A & B cup women who feed their infant just fine.

I've heard some people say "women had to evolve a butt on their chest" (lol) which is... partially right, but a "butt" isn't the right example.

IMO women evolved breasts to throw off the male gaze. It's been scientifically proven that when we (male or female) look at people or faces, our eyes have a pretty specific pattern. We mostly use an upside-down, triangular path that hops between both pupils and the mouth of the person we're looking at... UNLESS... you're a man looking at a woman. Then, suddenly, that pattern changes and involves the breasts. That triangle turns right-side-up and we look at both breasts and the face to judge attractiveness, maybe giving a little more leniency to the face in return for bigger breasts.

So, instead of evolving a "butt" on their chest, women evolved two "eyes" on their chest so we spend less time looking at the face and more time looking at the figure.

It's also been proven that women spend more time looking at faces than men, which helps support everything I just said.

Please laugh with me and not at me. 😐

Just a random thought. If womens breasts had developed on their backs women would be a lot more fun to dance with..😷
