…Unless like me your BMI is perfectly normal, your diet is healthy and you exercise but for some reason your body has become insensitive to androgens (testosterone and similar).

I’m quite slim looking but i’ve slowly developed breast tissue over the last year or two – and i’m talking firm glandular tissue, not fat. I’ve been getting more cruel comments recently and been made the butt of a lot of jokes.

A couple of days ago, after trying to go for a run and giving up not from lack of breath but from the pain in my chest my unsupported breasts were causing I was already feeling depressed when a very skinny female friend of mine slid her hands under my top later that day and after copping a feel with wide eyes said ‘omg, your boobs are bigger than mine!!’

I laughed it off at the time but couldn’t stop thinking about it and today measured my chest and plugged the figures into a bra finder….can you imagine my shame when I realised I actually AM a 44B which is a whole cup size bigger than her! (

I found this blog while looking for a supportive sports bra to fit the male chest, because I. dont. have. a. choice. I’ve decided to bite the bullet and get some tests done because i’m also suffering extreme mood swings and hot flushes.

Sorry if i’ve ranted, I just wanted all the ‘ewww’ and ‘lol, lose some weight’ commenters to know it’s not just a joke, and nothing to do with being fat, which is called pseudo-gynaecomastia….

lol…I’m adding you to my blog roll!

Lisa Lisa: Your man sounds like a real hunk! Some photos would really, um, help form a more accurate picture of the conversation in my mind, if you know what I mean?

Don: Thank you for completing the test so honestly. It sounds like you have some way to go before you can try on a lady’s bra and fill it.
For answer #2 – follow your dreams!

Yes. But as soon as I let go, it falls down.

2. Can you kiss your nipples?

Don’t I wish! That would certainly be a leisure time enhancement.

3. Do your man boobs hit you on the chin when you run?

No. I have a chin guard.

4. Are you too overweight to attempt question 3?

No. I’d try it, but our roads have load restrictions here.

(Husband): While sitting on the couch with hand over my shoulder grabbed my boob and smiled.

(Me): While pinching his man boobs I said “How do like that? Doesn’t feel so nice when someone grabs your boobs, does it?”

(Husband): You’re just mad because mine are bigger than yours!

(Me): Glaring at him and couldn’t really say anything back because it was true ;o)

Hope you get a good laugh out of this.

I was disappointed that you didn’t discuss the THREE types of protrusions found among males working out at a gym, but maybe you’re saving that for another post?

Chat Blanc: It’s true, now I can’t help looking at those flabby man-pups everywhere I go. It’s nearly a hobby.

Timethief: Resting pecs have some potential. But podgy droopers that could double up as earmuffs – thanks, but no.

Meg: I guess those offended by man boobs would be… erm… everyone? Oh dear, everyone please leave the site!

Jade: Amazing! I knew tofu was evil, now I have the proof.

Jeff: Sorry Jeff. Have fun in the Red Light District!

Amy: Oooh! For me? A shiny thing? Thank you!
