I'm 38, my name's Dave and no - I'm not an alcoholic but I am single and have a couple of jobs. My main job is working in an outdoor equipment store but I'm also what's called a 'resource person' for a few of the local schools. Basically, if they need help with an outdoor oriented activity, they can arrange for me to come in and assist the teachers. My work is cool with it because I always put a good word in for their gear, I'm easily able to take a day off work when needed and the school covers about 90% of my normal days' pay. As an added bonus I get to enjoy quite a bit of 'eye candy' in the halls and in class.
My most recent group was a grade 12 class doing a combination of orienteering, knots and tree identification over a couple of weeks. Seeing as it was a nice warm May there were quite a few lower cut tops, tight shorts, short skirts and the occasional female student who decided not to wear a bra which made it that much more enjoyable.
I'd just finished the last day and some of the students were helping me carry the gear back out to my truck before they went home. It was cooler than the rest of the week had been and was raining a bit but one of the girls - Alyssa - didn't seem like she was in a hurry to leave and once the others had left she said, "I'd like...can I.....I was wondering....oh fuck" and stopped then continued, "I don't even know if I should ask you or not but I need to ask someone" and then stopped again.
She was stammering and blushing so I was pretty sure it wasn't a question about any of the stuff I'd covered with her class so I gave her a few seconds and said, "Alyssa - how old are you?"
She gave me a bit of a puzzled look and said, "I just turned 18."
"Ok, so whatever you're trying to ask me - are you asking as a student or an adult?"
She thought for a couple of seconds before replying, "As an adult."
"Well, if you're 18 and asking as an adult then go ahead and ask and I'll do my best to give you an honest answer. Are you ok if we sit in the truck to talk so we don't get wet?"
My reply seemed to calm her down so she nodded and we sat in the truck. Once inside, she took a deep breath and kind of blurted out, "Why do guys only seem to like girls with big tits?"
I'd been trying to figure out what she was trying to ask but her question still caught me a bit off guard. There was no doubt why she was asking - she was slim, about 5'4 but at best she had an 'A' cup and seeing as she was one of the ones who didn't always wear a bra I'd noticed that instead of rounded, they were also somewhat pointy and her nipples were often hard.
"Have you asked your mom?"
"Yes, she said not to worry - that I'd meet someone who wouldn't care that I wasn't big in the chest. I can't ask any of the teachers because I know that's not a conversation they can easily have with a student, I wouldn't want to ask any of mom's friends either and dad left years ago so I can't even ask him if I wanted to. You seem pretty cool so I thought that maybe..." and then her voice kind of trailed off to nothing again.
I could tell she was almost in tears so I took a chance and put my hand on her shoulder saying, "I'll bet the way your mom said it, you're thinking that you'd just be settling for someone who doesn't care whether or not you've got big boobs."
That got the first bit of a smile, "Ya, pretty much."
"Well, if it helps - I'd look at it more as 'wait for someone who looks at you and goes - damn she's hot and I'd love to go out with her'."
"Ok, that makes me feel better but I'm still wondering why guys prefer big tits."
"Not sure I can help you on that one. Everyone generally has some sort of preference - long/short hair, blonde/brunette, big ass/small ass but yes guys, at least younger guys do seem to prefer big boobs."
"Ok, kinda makes sense. You said you're not sure if you can help - does that mean you prefer small boobs to big ones?"
Now it was my turn to be a bit embarrassed, "well....um...it's not the size of the boob that I find attractive."
I wasn't sure I wanted or should go any further but when I saw her puzzled look, I continued with, "Well, you were mature enough to ask me an embarrasing question so the least I can do is be mature enough to answer yours. I guess I'm more of a 'nipple' guy."
"What do you mean a nipple guy?"
"Well, I certainly enjoy looking at a ladies' boobs but what really catches me is seeing a nipple - especially if it's hard, long, puffy or once I get to know her it's a big turn on if she's got really sensitive nipples."
"Even if the boobs were as small as mine?"
"For sure - I've often found that women with smaller boobs have firmer, more sensitive nipples."
I could tell she was feeling much better and was definitely more relaxed. "Well, they're certainly sensitive - I just wish they were bigger."
Without thinking, I replied "they looked fine to me."
"How can you say that? You haven't seen them."
I wasn't sure I should explain but figured I was in this far. "Well, maybe not all of them but you seldom wear a bra and more than once you wore a fairly loose top so I certainly saw enough a few times when you bent over to say that they looked fine to me."
