My name is Anna, I am 25 years old and I am from Romania. I`ve always felt that I have the smallest breasts in the world, and, believe me, it`s not just an over reaction. I`ve been waiting for them to become bigger as I grew older but they remained the same. I feel like I am not a woman but a child. Although my friends tell me that I am beautiful and even that I look sexy, I just can`t get over this complex! I always feel so ashamed when I have to take my clothes off in front of my boyfriend or at the doctor. I really do feel like I am handicapped. People told me that the problem is only in my mind but how can it be like that when I look in the mirror and I see that my breasts are so small, almost like they are missing? How can a woman feel good when an important part of her body is so rudimentary?

I can never change my clothes with people around me. I have serious problem when I have to buy a bra because I don`t even know what size I should ask the salesman to give to me. I can`t wear see through blouses or a sexy t-shirt and there`s no way in hell to go somewhere without wearing a bra under my clothes!

I will never forget how I felt when I was a teenager and a guy asked me while looking at my chest: “Where are your tits?” I felt so bed and it still hurts when I remember that! My boyfriend always said that even if they are small, my breasts are ok but I feel so ashamed when I see that he has almost nothing to hold in his hands almost nothing to touch when we are intimate. This lack of having normal breasts makes me feel uncomfortable with myself and it gives me the impression that I am ugly and incomplete.

I know there are the silicon implants that would make the entire situation so much easier but I am afraid that with my salary I cannot afford something like that. And, sometimes I wonder: even with silicon in my chest, will I ever get over the pain caused by this physical problem? Will I ever walk on streets with no fear that my small breasts will capture the attention of people?

Anna, 25 years old, Romania, still single.

Being a human, I possess the trait of always wanting more. As far as it is concerned about my body, there are many factors that I would wish I can change. I am not necessarily sure if these factors have prevented me from being in a relationship because my cultural and religious customs frown upon relationships.

Nevertheless, I would surely like to get a bigger frame. I am 5’8 and about 120lbs. Most of the people my age are bigger/taller than I am, even the girls. Height is a big factor connected with first impression, and it can already be seen how I start behind other guys just for being short. I would gladly accept my height for it still is taller than the average girl height of about 5’6 to 5’7. However the annoying aspect of this is that girls love wearing heals, and honestly for a man to wear too much heal is not considered very manly. It is not just about height though. I am quite a small person when it comes to my wrist size, or waist. I seldom wear shorts because I have practically “chicken legs”. Being part of this world, no matter how humble one is, they still have the weakness to worry about what the society thinks of them. Sadly, I am the victim of being concerned about the way I look because I want people to compliment me when they look at me.

Another desired feature for me is having chiseled abs. I have worked out for so many years and quite honestly my results have been very impressive. I am ripped and cut everywhere, yet I have still to see those chiseled abs. Either it is genetics, or I am too lazy to work on my abdominals, they just don’t become prominent. It is of blatant fact that girls just fantasize over having a guy with chiseled abs. I am sure this is not me, but every guy in the world to want to have fine looking abs that they can show off at the beach or the gym.

These few things regarding my body are probably not my only concern. I know the moment I start looking at some body part or start comparing myself to others, I would have more concerns emerging regarding my body. As mentioned earlier, I am not quite sure if these factors have affected my relationships. I think unconsciously, it could be the very reason why I am single today and also why I work really hard to gain some of the desires features pertaining to my body.

Antonio – 20 – Toronto

I love soccer and I’ve always wanted to be able to play to the best of my ability. Ever since when I was a young kid, I love to watch all the major soccer players in action on TV. They were so cool and full of energy. Apart from watching soccer games, I played the game as well and usually with a bunch of my buddies, we will spend our whole weekend playing soccer until the sunsets. That was those days. In fact I wish and always dreamed to be a full-fledged soccer star earning as a professional. Because of that dreams, if there’s a chance for me to change my body, that would be to make my body become athletic like all the soccer stars with powerful and muscular legs. This might sounds crazy but believe me, this is what I would have wanted if I had that kind of wish.

Everytime, when me and my friends get together for a game, I will usually turn to be the worst performer. I get tired easily and my kicks were not as powerful as they were. Whenever the ball is with me, I’ve always failed to outrun them or to be able to pose a strong challenge or tackle. However, in terms of skills, like controlling the ball, I usually stand out above the rest but because of my physical attributes, I lose out to them. Well, if only I have powerful and muscular legs that would be possible. That coupled together with my skills and ability, perhaps I would be able to fulfill my dream to be a soccer star and earn handsome salary and contracts. That would certainly be rewarding and it’s something I’m willing to trade for anything else in this world. Some people would not pass the chance to be a secret agent but for me, a soccer star is much better and that is only possible if I can change my body.

Wow, if only I wish that could be possible, my whole life would have changed. The ability to run and sprint, jump and head the ball, strong and powerful, and of course get the attention of girls. Don’t get me wrong here, even though I’m married but at least I can still relive those dreams which I’ve always wanted since young and do something important before I grow old. Back to the question above, if there was one thing I would like to change about my body, that would be to make me have a full athletic, strong, muscular and powerful body.

What would I change about my body? Well, this would definitely be my hip. Although I’m skinny, my hip actually is kind of big which makes my whole body looks odd. Just imagine, with a normal sized head, shoulder and waist, as it goes down this suddenly gets bigger and turned my whole body shape to look like a pear. Can you imagine my stats here? I m 34C-26-36. Although it seems perfectly normal for a girl to look like that although some of my friends actually say that’s it ok, but in actually fact I would prefer to have a normal sized hip. I’m not sure whether this is normal for my age, biologically speaking, my body should have prepared itself for childbirth since I’m not at the end of my teenage years. Well so much for the biology lessons. I just hope this doesn’t get bigger anymore, as I grow older.

Some of the reason why I don’t like having big hip is because going out for shopping actually makes a real headache. Can you just imagine going in and out from the changing room to get a new pair of jeans just because the one, which you like the most, cannot accommodate my big hip? Most of my jeans few years back cannot worn now and that’s really a problem. Most often I tried to look for the fancy types like lady-like brand with the special cutting for the extra curves but I guess after I managed to fit into it, my hip will just protrude out like a balloon. I tried going for skirts to hide my hip, but I don’t like wearing skirts in the first place. As a matter a fact, I do care about what other would say to me and I’m very conscious about my looks.

Another thing, which I hate the most is that guys will snigger and even try to take advantage when they get the chance. Once when I was joining my friends in a pub celebrating her birthday, I could hear sniggers and chuckles a table away with a bunch of guys making some weird and loud remarks. I do not know whether they were aimed at me, but there was mention of the “hip” word in their conversation. I also slapped a guy once when he decided to pinch my butt. So was so angry after that and my emotions really boils down to my nerves. Oh…How much I wish that hip can be reduced just a few inches. Even if it can’t, I hope it doesn’t get any bigger as the days go.

If there’s one thing that I wish I could change about my body, it’s my height. I’m only close to 5 feet tall and for a guy that is extremely short. Being short has many disadvantages. Girls will usually be attracted to taller guys. Being short also means that I will always have the sense and feeling of being a lesser person or not as masculine when compared with taller men. It’s not a surprise that at 29 years of age, I’m still single and available.

Height has always been my problem and girls seem to always reject me whenever I go out for a blind date. So far all of them were actually taller than me and there were never any follow-up calls whenever I tried to reach them again. It can be frustrating at times and the worst part is, there is nothing that I can do about it. Unlike having thin lips or flabby cheeks being short means there is no surgical correction available. Being short has its disadvantages while being at school and at work as well. During my teenage years when I had already stopped gaining height, it was very depressing when each and every one of your buddies seemed to pass me in height overnight. Now I was destined to look at their shoulders and chest from my eye level. This has affected me emotionally and I was often teased that led to me to having low self-esteem. Today being at work also means more or less the same problem. Bosses seems to have that unsure feeling towards me and sometimes feel bullied upon.

Another thing I don’t like about being short is that there are certain sports I may never get involved in. Basketball has always been my favorite and since middle school I no longer play it due to my height disadvantages. There are actually many types of athletics I can participate in. Sigh…the list seems to be endless. Being short also means that I can’t reach higher spots like the kitchen cabinets and at times it’s quite embarrassing to see me reach for the chair to reach the cup placed at the top spot.

After all these years being short I’ve learned to accept things the way they are. I always try to lift myself up by saying that being short makes me steadier on my feet. For instance, standing in a moving bus I am pretty solid on my feet but I notice all the taller folks struggling to balance. This is just somehow a little comfort for me while I try to get myself to accept things as they are. Hopefully I will one day meet my dream girl. Hopefully there is a short girl out there for me somewhere.

We received this letter from a young lady in Asia. The Asian people are so beautiful so this makes us sad to think this insecure woman feels she needs to look different.  She writes:

If my fairy godmother were to be in front of me, I would make a wish to make my eyes bigger. Being an Asian, I have to accept the fact that there’s nothing much that I can do about it. All Asians generally have smaller eyes – especially if they are Chinese like myself. Well it’s not that I want to complain about my genes or anything, but it just makes me wonder how great it would be to have those big round eyes so that I could put on eye liner to make my eyes look perfect. Sometimes I envy the gorgeous Caucasian look that has those round and big eyes. It makes them stand out from the crowd.

I try to overcome the problem by putting on mascara and by using an eyelash curler. After all that effort it doesn’t seems to show any positive effect and the worst part is, it makes my eyes look strange and unnatural. I was thinking of going for a plastic surgery but that will have to be in the future because the surgery costs can be quite high and it is equivalent to almost 1 year of my salary.

When I was in my teens I had the opportunity to enter a beauty pageant contest representing my social club. Although being skeptical at first, I managed to convince myself to enter. I tried my best to put on a good look and impress the judges. I was very unlucky that day because the mascara I had applied, suddenly dropped off. I was so embarrassed by the whole incident that I swore that if there’s one thing I can do before I die, it would be to make my eyes become bigger.

Another unforgettable incident was when I had a chance to visit the UK during one of my company trips. I had a crush on this cute British guy and was so impressed with his gentlemenly attitude. Alas, after a very long conversation I could sense that he had no interest in me. I can’t help but wonder if I had bigger and rounder eyes it may have made some difference. Well if my fairy godmother is reading this article I hope she will grant me this wish.
