Estimating bra size from a photograph

Yeah that's also something I've noticed. All of my friends with the biggest boobs are either 5 ft or 5'2".

I've never seen a tall busty women like 6 foot and up. I guess they're rare or there is some type of genetics at work, not counting implants.

What?

Reiko can you check my work? If the girl in that picture I posted is 6'3" (or 75 inches), then R=7.9787

If her face length is 11 inches, then P=.72534

I don't know where to go from there. How many inches of "protrusion" do you think is a good estimate?

Also, is face length just the chin to the top of the hair line, or to the top of their head?

I dunno. I didn't make that formula:/

I'll guess... 3 inches?

I'm guessing raincoatband is talking about hairline.

Another user posted this:

The protrusion from the chest depends on the type of Bra. For example a bullet bra will enhance the protrusion. Nevertheless I appreciate your efforts.
The last problem is comparison to published data about the models. It is quite likely that as in football, basket ball players, the published figures may themselves be ramped up from reality.
 
Wait, what?
You guys were serious with this?

"Formulas" for calculating these sort of things are almost always inaccurate, and in the few cases where they are somewhat correct, it is a result of a ton of research.

Not some amateur boobologists on a videogaming forum, sorry.
 
At best, you can infer breast size from various measurements - as whatever determines your length might be linked to breast tissue growth (e.g., hormones as Devolution pointed out earlier) - but you'll never be able to get an algorithm in which you put in superficial bodily measurements and get an approximation of an artificial bra-suspension holding system score.

Yeah, women love it when strangers go up to them and say "NICE FUNBAGS, I ESTIMATE THEY ARE C CUPS?"

You should try it tomorrow and report your findings here!

I had a woman grab my ass and then say, "Do you workout?".

But then that's New Orleans for you.
 
Why the fuck would you need to know this?

"That girl has a nice pair of breasts.... Wait a tick! If that woman is 5'8" and it's half-past 3 o'clock in late February, and the Eiffel Tower is approximately 1,063 feet tall, and a train leaving Chicago is traveling at a speed of 70 miles per hour...."
*Pulls out a goddamn abacus*
"Then that woman is a mere deceptively busty B, and not a C at all! I will offer my seed elsewhere."

No. That wouldn't happen. Nobody even uses abacuses anymore.

In what way would this be useful? Knowing the exact measurements of a person's bra size seems like it would only be handy if you were buying that person a bra, and if that's the case then you should be close enough to them to just ask what their size is. If you don't know them well enough to ask her for her bra size, then you sure as hell should not be buying her a bra, you weird bastard.

Or...

Me: Those are pretty big.

Girl: So? Is there a problem?

Me: No.

Girl: Fine. What's up?

(An actual conversation went like that. She's a "deal with it, or GTFO" type of woman)

Most women think they're a cup size smaller than they actually are I believe.
Women should get a professional bra fitting if they haven't already done so. Many tits and their associated backs and shoulders go through years of torture because the proper size was never discovered or because it changed over time. It doesn't take a lot of time and the people who do the fitting mostly just want you to buy their higher-end bras, and the sales pitch isn't like you're at a Mercedes dealer.
 
Yep, all comes down to shape and proportion for what's hot, IMO.

Edit: gawdaamn at those pics


Objective:  To establish if the ‘myth’ about whether the size of a man's penis can be estimated from his shoe size has any basis, infact.

Subjects and methods:  Two urologists measured the stretched penile length of 104 men in a prospective study and related this to their shoe size.

Results:  The median stretched penile length for the sampled population was 13 cm and the median UK shoe size was 9 (European 43). There was no statistically significant correlation between shoe size and stretched penile length.

Conclusion:  The supposed association of penile length and shoe size has no scientific basis.

My immaturity got the best of me there. All That dong measuring for absolutely nothing. Lol

So is this one of those threads where guys post about bra sizes and show that they know nothing about them?
Cup sizes do not work the way you think they do.

Who said we use cup sizes?

The world the way man thinks it should run:

"You're looking for a new bra?"

"I've been having problems with my current ones. I can never seem to find a bra that fits me well"

"let me measure you. Hmmm yes! you're 2 and half handfuls madam!"
