The line about breasts was obviously written by a woman

No man would have given the answer she had Adam Scott say. That it has to do with wanting the peacefulness of infant breast feeding? Ridiculous freudian mumbo-jumbo. Why can't women accept that guys' fascination with breasts is just a basic biological urge that has evolved to further propagation of the species? It's not a conscious choice. It starts at puberty & as far as I can tell after 40 years, it never stops or diminishes. Some of us just get better at hiding it from the women in our lives than others do. Take it as a compliment. It certainly is no insult. Think of it as having the same effect on a man that signs of financial prosperity in a guy has on most women.

I don't remember that line being about the peacefulness of infant breast feeding. I just heard the line about a half an hour ago and it was something like "Look at him, he's the happiest he'll ever be. Surrounded by breasts." It wasn't this sentimental thing that you seem to think it was. It was basically saying, "we just love boobs."

Ummm sexist much! You're comparing something sexual to something superficial. There is no evolutionary reason why larger breasts should be more attractive than smaller, for a start.

Don't confuse television/films with the real world. I am not saying that women never date men for their money but out of all the women I know, very few have selected their partners based on that factor. I'd rather date an intelligent man, which is far more advantageous for my future offspring.

Seriously don't throw phrases like 'most women' it's offensive and you have no substance to back it up.

LOL ... no, when I go to the supermarket I always pick out the small peaches in the pile! ;-)
Large breasts, large feminine signal .... linear, not hard to understand really.

"Large breasts, large feminine signal...."

Actually that doesn't make sense at all. Women with smaller breasts are certainly not meant to die off.

Alex, I'm totally with you. Seems like this guy is taking a lot of liberties in his interpretation of this moment. I don't think it was nearly as complex as he made it out to be.

Uh I love small breasts on girls. When they're too big they're gross.
