How come men also have boobs?

[blondfrog]

Call them moobs or man boobs but we still have them. Even the muscular guys.

[Purpleronnie]

The picture you have included shows a male with developed pectoral muscles likely by copious amounts of targeted strength training Let’s agree that’s NOT the same as a man boob or moob. Moobs are generally the result of low testosterone compared with the estrogen hormone in the male body.


Men do have, to a varying degree , fatty deposits that sit on top of the pectoral muscles and through age where testosterone can reduce sharply fatty tissue can dominate making it look like a moob but again this is NOT the same.


I’m fairly convinced you’re mixing up your terms because you find it humerous if somewhat childish but men will never have boobs , sadly though some will have gynecomastia through genetics and no fault of their own. The others with fatty deposits around their pectoral muscles they likely need to diet properly and or exercise more.

And some will destroy their liver with alcohol so it can't destroy estrogen such that it accumulates and overpowers the testosterone they do have. The question is why do we have them. At five weeks gestation we both lo0ok remarkably similar until testosterone production starts to change males
anatomy from female to male. Female is natures default.

[hahahmm]

Bro, you need to stop staring at other men's chests. It's messing with your mind.

And they aren't the same as a woman's because a woman has machinery in there to produce milk while men do not.

[Mac-One]

@hahahmm Men's boobs contain the same machine necessary to produce milk but it didn't develop the same as a woman.

[hahahmm]

@Mac-One Yeah.. a man has a rusted shut 1 stroke lawn mower, a woman has a semi-truck and to feed a baby you need the truck.

[Mac-One]

@hahahmm I have read that if you treat men with the proper hormones that the milk ducts will develop and they will produce milk.

[hahahmm]

@Mac-One If you give a child drugs to make his hair fall out it doesn't make the child an old man

[DishLady]

Amen, @hahahmm

[AMS700CX4u2]

@Mac-One It true and Men can also carry a fetus abdominally. But they would have to deliver abdominally

[Daniela1982]

Because we were created with them. An embryo is born with no discernable sex organs. They develop as a male or female along the way. But nipples are the same for both sexes. During the development girls get estrogen and grow breasts for feeding their young. Men get testosterone and their organs turn into a dick and balls. Just think how weird a guy would look without them. Believe it or not, some people are born without them. Wouldn't that suck? No pun intended.

[blondfrog]

Did you just admit you are a guy though? Lol I thought you were a woman?

[Daniela1982]

How does what I said make me a guy? That is science, not my opinion. We all start out as female. We turn male or stay female depending on what hormones we get during development. Google it if you don't believe me.

[blondfrog]

No I believe you its just the way you worded it. You said "we were created with them" making it sound like you were referring to as males since the question asker I E me is also male lol.

[HoldingtheSword]

She is right. Women were created from us, from our ribs.

[Tren58]

“We” as in humans. 😉

[Daniela1982]

@blondfrog I was answering the question as to why men have boobs too. Because we, both women and men, are born with them. The reason being we were both created female. Men get their sex organs during the development process after hormones cut in. I find it hard to believe that a 33 year old man doesn't know he was once a female too. 🤣😂

[AMS700CX4u2]

Androgen insensitivity?

[Tamera952]

man boobs are called gynecomastia, & I believe has to do with hormone problems, mainly endocrine disrupters found in the environment, messing with the development of male fetuses — that, plus bad general health in developed countries concerning over processed diets & widespread obesity.

[Apple1996]

I don't know but it's bothers me that y'all have useless nipples while my nipples are working in overtime 😆

[blondfrog]

Haha true its like a cruel joke. Well if you wanna get technically technical there is this rare liver disease that men can get which could cause some of them to secrete manly boob milk.
And also Hyperprolactinemia which can be causes by rare kidney disease or under active thyroid in rare cases.

[FunkyMonkee]

Where'd you get the idea they were useless? They feel at least as nice as yours do when played with and men CAN breastfeed, it just takes a lot longer to get the milk flowing.

[Purpleronnie]

Male nipples aren’t useless , clearly not as functional as female nipples could be but other than being left over from our development they are actually extremely sensitive as I trust yours may be. I will let you mind complete how useful that might be 😆

[Anonymous]

Female breasts are primarily made of up of fat. They are designed for the purpose of feeding human babies. They also have muscle underneath the breasts but like the rest of their musculature it isn't as strong as a man's. A man's chest is made primarily of muscle and is just part of their musculature, they are not breasts.

[NicholasRedone]

I guess it's like how females and males also have buttocks 😋

[Sevenpointfive]

just in case we decide to switch genders i think?

[NathanDavis]

because all men, do start as women...

if the female switch is on... there will be more development, and, if the male switch is on... there will be less development

[Daniela1982]

Tell that to @blindfrog. 🙄 Just be careful how you word it, or you will be tagged a female. 😅😂

[NathanDavis]

@Daniela1982 I should tell him next about frogs...

[exitseven]

thst guy does not have man boobs. He has pecs.

These are man boobs

[blondfrog]

I know but technically even the most muscles are still boobs.

[exitseven]

@blondfrog tell that to the kids in my 10th grade gym class.

[Daniela1982]

@exitseven How do people think men get turned into women for a sex change? They get Estrogen and cut Testosterone so that they start growing boobs. So yes, a hormone imbalance can cause what your pic shows.

[exitseven]

@Daniela1982 my parents did not have health insurance so I just had to deal with it.

[Mac-One]

Wouldn't bother me if mine were like that or even larger.

[exitseven]

@Daniela1982 My latest blood test shows my testosterone levels are in the top 10% for my age group.

[blondfrog]

Dude your basically talking to a wall. She deactivated her account.

[HungTexan]

Embryos are formed in the womb before sex is determined. As the fetus matures it get either make of female hormones, develops appropriate sex organs, etc. so all embryos start with nipples.

[jaskinry2022]

I don't know i was thinking the same thing maybe because they work out?

[genericname85]

cause you need pectorial muscles to move your arms properly.

[FunkyMonkee]

We ALL start out as female until the third month of pregnancy when the male hormones kick in and turn the fetus onto a guy.

[zagor]

Because our chest muscles are there. And men do have some fatty breast tissue, just not as much as women (unless grossly obese). About 7% or more of breast cancer is in men.

[foxsquirrell]

What are you talking about man? Men don't have boobs. Were you high when you posted this question?

[blondfrog]

If you have nipples you have boobs.

[foxsquirrell]

Nipples and boobs are not the same thing no! Aside from the fact that male nipples have no function, boobs contain organs in them which are totally absent in males! So what are you talking about? You are mixing things up.

[blondfrog]

Well then any type of fat makes them boobs. So unless your chest muscle is 100% muscle then you still have boobs.

[foxsquirrell]

Fat is not an organ. I was talking about organs inside boobs that make them boobs. You may have what looks like ugly boobs as a man, but they are still not boobs.

[Dargil]

1. Working out.
2. Fat.
3. Ate too much chicken filled with hormones.

[LiamJHayden]

Human are all default female until certain processes, almost always in those who have a Y chromosome, are activated in the womb.

[Kattsnaiper]

They train chests a lot, or they are born with "Man tits" like Robert Paulson.

[beefcakebradybatson]

They're flabby and could have a condition which causes boy boobs.

[blondfrog]

I am talking about even the muscular ones we still technically all have boobs.

[beefcakebradybatson]

S-T-E-R-O-I-D-S !!!

[Jackblue]

Men actually can lactate and nurse children sometimes although it is uncommon.

[This_Boy_Here]

Usually due to hormonal imbalances. Lots of guys that get this do 'riods. Some guys just got hormonal issues naturally though.

[TheStaleMarshmellow]

Gave myself a nipplegasam before.
