Why aren't flat chested women ever barmaids?

[HeavenShallBurn]

Not on my watch, mister.

QFT

Also the most important part of that sentence is WATCH, as it's the reason barmaids are buxom. To be watched, and thus allow the bar-keeps associated pickpockets to divest distracted denizens of their denarii

The real question is, WHY are men attracted to large-chested women? Most mammal species don't have large, visible mammary glands (with the exception of D&D races, where even the reptiles and insects seem to have them).

I've read theories that it is because when humans began walking upright, they needed new visual cues to health and fertility. That "health and fertility" are what guys are really looking for in a mate, but try complementing a woman on it and see what happens.

It's cultural, pure & simple.

In a lot of Asian cultures, fair skin or certain kinds of eyes are what is considered desirable in a woman. You'll find in China that the most common form of cosmetic surgery for women is to make their eyes look bigger, and the most popular cosmetics are ones that whiten/lighten the skin. Push-up bras and wonder bras are just not nearly as common.

well about the Chinese eye surgery. Its about adding eye folds. Some Chinese eye lids don't fold on them selves when open. Its a east wanting to be western kindof thing. Is this what your talking about? Its alot more common i think with people who have Asian decent and live in America or other western nations.

It's cultural. Men in all cultures on the planet right now are not equally attracted to large-breasted women (or even to breasts), and the role that mammaries play in female beauty has varied in particular countries in different historical periods.

I've heard that, too, and it seems to make sense. (Though I don't know if either big butts or big breats really are a good indicator at all? But the same could be said on the feather colors of birds and similar attributes that seem to be used by animals to define "attraction".)

"My dear, you are looking extremely healthy and fertile today!"

I suspect it wouldn't work too well.

Addmittedly, I never tried either, but I doubt "My dear, you're having fine large breasts" will work any better.

Anyway, I think it's more important that breats are (appear to be) well-formed then that they are big. Wether some people like smaller or larger is pretty much a cultural or even just personal thing...

Two words: Sex sells.

Sure, there are pretty barmaids with less-than-ample bosoms, but if you got a pretty barmaid with cleavage as deep as the Grand Canyon, you'd advertise that to your potential customers walking by your tavern.
It helps to have those peasant clothing that emphasize it too.

I so want to see the sign that advertises that to the illiterate masses!!!

It works for St. Pauli Girl!

More Cleavage = More Tips

It's just basic algebra

And they get more money also.

It's all about the size of her dowry: "She has huge...tracts of land."

Well, if you want a woman's take on things, I agree with the OP that it's more prettiness that matters than breast size.

I'm decently endowed/curvy, but I'm cursed with a plain face and hair and a high-pitched girlish voice. So, much to my eternal annoyance, men don't find me romantically attractive. I think I've managed to land a grand total of two dates in 28 years.

Never tried serving beer, but I know back when I spent some time serving coffee it was my kittenish aura that got me tips, not my bust size. (i.e. they tipped because they found me "adorable", or felt sorry for me when it was really busy) ;P

Because, as it happens, every single tavern is owned by the Hooters franchise.

I blame the Germans.

Well, who doesn't?
