Trish,

Thanks for the replies. I didn't think people would react to this so negatively.
You're welcome. Everyone on this site is anonymous, so there's no context — folks have only the information in your post to base their replies on. They're all men (apparently), so they have some insight into what makes other men tick, and you asked for honest replies. Based on what you said, their assessment of your guy (including mine) fell somewhere short of favorable.

....A c-cup sounds normal but it doesn't look big on me at all, and guys like bigger ones, right??
Depends on the guy. Not all men prefer women with huge breasts. Obviously most women, including many who are *very* attractive, don't have over-large breasts. Don't forget, the largest component of the sexuality you project is your personality, including how you look at men — that is, how you use your eyes and your facial expressions — and how you talk with men, as well as your body language in an overall sense.

....So I'm leaning to doing it [breast enhancement surgery] but I'm just too nervous to go ahead right now.
Well, it's up to you, of course. I would suggest, though, not doing it unless you want to. If you aren't comfortable with that idea, wait until you are. You're very young and have plenty of time for a decision like that. For your guy to try to pressure you into doing it is inappropriate. I mean, if he loves you, he should love you as you are, right?

.....I was doing bad in school and dropped out and now I sort of do stripping part time. .... Also, I was told I don't need school, and I agree.... I never learned anything that I need.
Stripping, as you know, is a young woman's sport. So, you might consider the problem of what you're going to do later on. I'll assume, for purposes of the following, that you and your 42 y.o. guy really are in love with each other and, as you say, you intend to get married and possibly spend the rest of your lives together.
That means when you're 50, he'll be 74 — and when you're 60, he'll be 84. During his 70's and 80's he probably won't be working any more, and it's more than possible he'll have serious medical problems. What will you do to support him (and yourself)? In your 50's and 60's, will you be working 12 hour days on your feet, trying to juggle 2 or 3 low-paying jobs without benefits, in order to do that?
It is, in fact, *very* important to get as much education as you can because, as others have mentioned, it will make a *big* difference in the employment opportunities available to you throughout the rest of your life. There is broad recognition of this among women. At universities nationwide, and elsewhere throughout the world, women are now substantially in the majority. (More women than men are admitted because they're better students.) And among those who are admitted, a higher percentage of women than men graduate.
The U.S. (I assume you live in the U.S.) is a country in which almost anyone can get some level of post-high school vocational or college education. It's also possible to complete your high-school education without having to go back and sit in classrooms with younger, less mature kids and deal with teachers who don't understand you and, maybe, you don't like. That is, you can get a general equivalency degree (GED) that will qualify you for admission to, for instance, a vocational school or community college. I think that in some cases, if you look like a promising candidate, you can be admitted for post-high school education even if you don't have a high-school degree of any kind.
But, what about paying for it...—? Well, you won't hear this from high school counselors, but more than a few attractive young women have paid their way through college working as strippers. That's something, I gather, you're good at.

.... Lots of famous people became successful without college.
Well, maybe. Among people who are "famous," I have no idea how many do versus don't have college degrees or any form of post-high school education. But I can tell you for sure, if you set out to live your life without even a high-school level education, the odds will be stacked against you. Heavily. So I hope your view that you don't need an education is only temporary. Older people who go back to school, whether it's college, community college or a voc-ed school, tend to do better than young students because they're more serious about it. They understand the value of education.
I wish you luck, Trish, because I think you're going to need it.
Best regards—
