Inspired by Daniels interest in fat distribution: Why are boobs 95% fat and only 5% milk making tissue?

Hey """actual science experts""", why aren't human bodies 100% Flubber starring Robin Williams and Marcia Gay Harden (with music by Danny Elfman) by now, if """evolution"""" is so great and real?? You know what we call that in the game of Chest ??? We call it a Postmates, because you just got served at your own door, buddies

Im wondering if the same applies to those of us that have very dense and fibrocystic breast tissue?

Maybe its to convince partners that they have more milk than they do to feed offspring? Or perhaps its just so that its easier to nurse.

Because if they were just for milk they’d be tiny and men would have nothing to stare at when you’re talking to them.

If it were pure muscle instead of fat, I think the milk composition would be a lot different (I literally don't know if this is true)

Because the form factor has been sexually selected. Why it has been evolutionarily successful to mate with females that have a certain boob morphology rather than others is still speculation. You would think that nice fat boobs would be correlated with some fitness factor, just like we are attracted to pure skin and lush hair since those traits are correlated with youth and good health. But it might just be a quirk that exploits some other human evaluative disposition.
