There is a correct answer.

Well the first thought was to give them a Three Stooges eye poke and then run like hell.....

If we want to get really real the pixel girls should come with separate sliders for both size and gravity.

Isn't there a seperate slider for gravity?

yes but not left and right.

It does, so if you're reclining on your side...

A few posts back a girl said their should be separate sliders for size and gravity (sag). Last time  I looked there was, so I'm not sure what her problem is.

[Skell Dagger]

I was explaining why Clover talked about "getting really real" by having sliders that go left and right, so that - when a woman is lying on her side - her boobs could sag sideways (toward the floor).

Us guys have that option already with some of our genitalia. The more popular brands can be adjusted sideways for realistic 'across the upper thigh' looks when Doing a Burt-Reynolds-in-Cosmo-type pose

That would be cool too. What I was referring to was the actual boobs themselves. Left boob size and gravity. Right boob size and gravity.

I could say so many things about that other post but um, nope.

[Skell Dagger]

Ahhh. *nods sagely* Not being edumacated in the Ways of Boobage, I thought you meant the sideways-sag

This ^^  In RL, the two are seldom (if ever) exactly the same.

That's no joke.

 

When I undo my strap, the bra turns upside down and hangs there trapped under the boobage until I lift them up and drag the bra out.
When Clover unfastens hers, the bra slides down a little hangs off of her perfect breasts. 

Mine drop like hanged men and hers never move.

IT'S NOT FAIR!

Why would you want breasts that were differently shaped from each other or hang differently?

Perhaps there should be separate sliders for left and right side features of the face too.

Clover was just commenting that "If we want to get really real" - based on another post talking about how boobs really look and behave in RL.

Unless the breasts are surgically changed(and even in many, perhaps most, of those cases too) a woman's breasts are never actually the same size or shape (even though the differences in them may be difficult to tell just by eyeballing them). The same can be said of most things we which humans have multiple of too..testicles, ears, eyes(yes, even eyes aren't matched), etc..Human bodies are weird lil beasts of their own nature

of course, but there are reasonable limits to how accurately we can recreate a human body in avatar form.

Which is why someone mentioned the inability to actually "be real"-I'm paraphrasing there.

If we had more, or rather, different, sliders, we could match the asymmetrical nature of the human body(all human bodies are, after all)..but that would make creating an avatar even more confusing(albeit interesting too), and opens up a whole 'nother can of worms I don't think most people care to fiddle with.

But if our goal is to create some standard of perfection, our "ideal" self, why would anyone care to introduce imperfections?

But to be honest some peoples dream avatar is another persons nightmare.

As in while standing in a busy club with a gf saying in IM...OMFG look at the butt on her.

To better replicate how un-symmetrical they are in RL perhaps there could be a setting built in the body where by when you're clothed or in lingerie they come up to your chin as soon as you let them roam free they flop down to your belly  or maybe just accept what we get in SL isn't always going to be perfect as we want

I have one breast that is larger and heavier than the other.  I also have a neurological disease of the face that, particularly if I brush it with a fingertip, raises up my mouth, nose, eye, and eyebrow a little on the right side, as well as a very consternated appearing, deeply grooved forehead;  thus, I think yours are both excellent ideas!  It freaking hurts like hades, but huzzah for realism!  However... I don't want to be that realistic in SL.  If I don't have to be gimpy, I'm not going to be gimpy.

There already is.

In particular, the 'Face Shear' slider - along with 'Eye Pop', 'Shift Mouth' and 'Crooked Nose' sliders - allows for the creation of a more asymmetrical face.

Overused they will look a bit crazy, but small and careful use of all of those sliders can create a much more subtlety natural and unique looking face.

Unfortunately 'Eye Pop' isn't supported in the Bento specification, so you can't use it to make those slightly different sized eyes Tari mentioned on mesh heads, although some face animation huds may allow for a partly closed eye-lid and you can always resize an individual unrigged mesh eyeball.
