reader, anonymous, writes (8 March 2011): My boyfriend has them and he is very self conscious because of it. In fact he refuses to take his shirt off in front of me. And usually keeps a shirt on when we make love. He smokes a lot of weed and according to research that lowers testosterone in men and they begin to grow boobs. So I believe that is the cause. Other men get them from significant weight loss or gain. Ive also noticed a lot of older men have them. My bf is in his early 30's. It doesn't turn me off but the fact the he's so uncomfortable makes me uncomfortable. I have to be careful when wr cuddling not to rest my head on his chest or touch him there. Awkward.

 Do ask for time off and don't worry about people knowing, there's nothing to be ashamed, first, it's not your fault, second, it's a medical condition ( abnormal enlargement of mammary glands ), you are taking care of a physical problem, not just wanting to look better ( which it's your right to want, anyway ).

I think Sammi Star and perhaps other posters may have missed the point of my post, which is :
a skinny guy with man boobs is quite possibly someone who has
gynecomastia. "True" gynecomastia ( meaning not the one that comes from an excess of body fat ,or use of steroids). It's a condition that in time may bring other problems than just in terms of looks, so consulting a specialist for advice is always a good idea ,beside and beyond aesthetical amelioration.

 Please don't feel that you should resort to surgery over this! While I appreciate that may be an option for some people I really think it's a desperate last resort.
Putting your time and effort into learning to love your body would be a much better use of your energys.
Nearly every single woman on this planet will have her own insecurities, weather that be a bit of a tummy, thinking her bums too big, wobbly arms etc...We understand that men aren't perfect and we don't expect them to be! Be real, be yourself and love yourself. You're gonna do just fine :)

You ask honesty , and I'll be honest : it's unattractive.
Said by the mother of a guy who has the same problem , so if even mom says it does not look that good - it does not. My son is getting surgery for this in a few weeks. Supposedly, it is an uncomplicated operation and will only leave modest scarring. I'd suggest you to talk to an endocrinologist and see what he says.
Because , since you describe yourself as skinny/average, then it probably is not just a deposit of " baby fat " which will go away with diet and exercise. It could be ( as it is the case with my son who is a rather lean, muscular guy ) a disfunction of the mammal gland that along the years may increase and give not only esthetical but also functional problems.
So, it may be best to ask a doctor advice about what to do.
Said that , it is also true that nobody is perfect and a little imperfection like this won't scare away a girl who is already into you. At least, did not scare away my son's girls :). But if it makes you feel self conscious at the gym or at the beach etc.- it is an imperfection you can do something about.

Wouldn't bother me. If you like a guy enough to be taking his clothes of then you sure as hell aren't going to care about a minor detail like this! :)

reader, anonymous, writes (9 February 2011): Both women and men have fat there. Not all men have a lot of pectoral muscle.
What would be my reaction if the guy I liked and found attractive took off his shirt in front of me?
I would probably try to jump him...I probably wouldn't sit there and compare him to a football player.
You already said you find him attractive and he's done it all for you...he sounds great, so why pick him apart?
You probably would feel objectified and indignant if someone said about you:
"She's nice and all, but her t*ts look like my grandmother's."
If you really do like him, you shouldn't mock his body this way. If you don't like him, find someone with pecs to make you happy.

reader, anonymous, writes (9 February 2011): In my opinion, if the guy is right in "all other ways" then who cares. I'd probably just make a joke out of it and move on. I don't think it is personally a big deal, although I can see how some girls would find it a little disturbing.
