This means the permanently swollen boobs of women have no biological purpose besides [[whore|whoring]], aesthetic pleasure and passing on this trait to increase the physical attractiveness of the female offspring. To the contrary, [[Good genes hypothesis|good geners]] would claim that well-formed boobs are honest signals of reproductive value, e.g. that they are evidence of the ability to grow fat deposits which are suggested to be prerequisites for reproduction,<ref>https://brill.com/view/journals/ijee/50/1/article-p87_5.xml</ref> however there is little evidence for this being the case. Large breasts do not even produce more mother milk.<ref>https://milkgenomics.org/article/do-larger-breasts-make-more-milk/</ref> | Boobs may have been [[Fisherian runaway|runaway selected]] to mimic the [[buttocks]],<ref>Fuller, R.

== Intrasexual competition == | |||
[[Women]] are known to compete with [[looks]] more than do men. There is evidence women's breast size plays a role in this [[intrasexual competition]]. For example women were less likely to introduce their partners to large-breasted women in one study.<ref>https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2021-85502-001</ref> | |||
