The basic problem with Mark Leeper's theory (that men are genetically
attracted to women who are capable of bearing and nourishing healthy
children, thus large breasts) is this: he has assumed that women with
large breasts provide more nourishment for their babies.  Large breasts
have more fat, yes, but not a significantly larger number of the glands
that produce milk.  Do you have references?

I think it's more a social conditioning, or something that goes back
to a mother/nursing memory (I do have references, if anyone cares).
If nothing else, it's one of the more obvious reminders that this
person is a member of the opposite sex.  Actually, I don't really
care, since I wouldn't associate with anyone who either liked or didn't
like me based on something I have no control over.
