I love having boobs!

  I would have to agree.  Having a well fitting bra that shapes how I want to be seen at that time is wonderful.  

  Having breast isn't that bad once you learn how to shape them and dress.  The slight sway and bounce is just a nice reminder for me.  
I do enjoy it also.  I also found having an assortment of bra styles, fabrics and colors is kinda fun also.  Only I see it but I have to say it does something for me just knowing I have something nice on, and that adds a benefit also.

Of the few women who know, none of them have ever said to me I should have them removed if there is no medical need. They all agreed that would mutilation and unnecessary trauma to the body. I had one say to me that if she was woman enough to have breasts, I was man enough too. I had another say mine better not be prettier than hers. 

I think most women get the body judgement thing and has some kind of understanding and empathy of what it is to not have the perfect body.

Seeing the projection is something that fills me with joy in so many ways.  Still want them larger.   At 50.25 inches.

When I first joined years ago I just browsed and gandered at the forum from afar and never thought I’d be a man wearing a bra. Just came here for education on gynecomastia after a surgeon who pretty much encouraged me not to get surgery and to first see if it develops to be anything of concern visually and physically and to get more educated on it so I didn’t feel alone as it was very common just very quiet in talking about. So I did and landed here.

If it wasn’t for this side of the forum, I’d probably had made an impulsive decision to get surgery. Especially after my chest became more breast than chest. But this side of the forum has really made me embrace them and love them. And feel if more men scrolled down to this side more, they’d realize how great of a gift it is instead of a curse.  Nothing to do with femininity and such. Just everything to do with embracing how we are all as individuals and how our body’s don’t have to be sculpted and pressed but just be how it was designed to be.

I think we share the same journey.  I believe you are younger than me.  I'm 75.  As I get older, I have accepted Gynecomastia. I don't believe it is a gift or curse.  I just accept and try to be discrete when with people.  This is for their comfort and mine.  We have a private acreage, so don't encounter many people.  I know that there will be a time when we need to sell and move to a retirement center in the 80's.

  Like you I'm amazed and a bit taken aback by what is there.  Bigger??? What ever.  I am happy with myself and just want them to look and be in the best shape as possible.  I don't want them to look like flabby fat sacks but like well proportioned breast. 
 
  That they are.

  If I continue to grow I'm sure they will grow on me.  

Pun intended.

At age 65 I wouldn't mind if my breasts were pendulous. A well fitted bra is the remedy to look good even with sagging breasts.

  Projection?  Feeling full and shapely?  Talking about pendulous and shaping them I recently picked up one of these.  The fit is amazing.  It shapes well to your shape and is so comfortable.  I picked it up on sale so the price was great.  I love Wacoal bras.  Well made, comfortable, and feel great all day.

Wacoal bras have always worked well for me. Comfortable and supportive. And that one looks to be as well with the natural look.

@Oldguy, I’m 39, so a little younger. Discreet is key for me as well. Being a father and husband and having a company and my wife having a company and being active in community and church and so forth. It’s a very fine line of what to not promote in terms of my chest.
Also being part of a running club with others my age it is just a lot to consider to not run risk of being seen as “that guy”. I’m happy to educate others as to why I’m wearing a bra if it’s recognized but being discreet is my preference. I have zero shame in wearing a bra. Cause I can comedically pull my collar down and show why I’m wearing one lol. But my comedy and comfort in it may not be the same to others so I just try to keep them to myself....

 

  Dude, I agree with you 100 percent.  My involvement in those same setting is something I too struggle with.  I'm me, unashamed yet...

  Dressing in a way that does more to draw the eyes away is my jam.  I feel its better for everyone I meet to see me as a man with a broad chest rather than a man with breast on display.  That said I do have some bras that I feel make my chest/breast, stand out and on display.  Not for every social setting.   As you said we are who we are and being discreet is what make me, like you, most comfortable.

I feel if life was a bit different regarding personal areas and relationships. Id wear more traditional bras, styles, colors and just have fun with the options. But as life is, compromise is a must if I can retain comfort in doing so.

So true! I very often choose concealment over comfort. I still have visible bumps, but people just see me as “chesty” rather than having a bust.

[blad]

I am fully confident being in public wear a bra daily.

Family / friend contacts with hugs and pats on the back are more reveling and harder to guard against.

In all cases either a thicker golf polo or relaxed fit dark shirt was worn and felt it camouflaged things well but after that made me feel insecure again.

That happens a lot to me too. Just remember no one’s really looking.

A pullover still has definitive lining to them as the neck and back go down further than a man’s tank top lining would. But still feel it provides enough middle ground to not be seen as such on a guy.

Totally agree!

I love having boobs but if this is another growth spurt there’s gonna be a line that gets crossed in their appearance I feel.

Trust me, as someone with a bit bigger chest who also wears the pullovers and dark shirts, no one seems to notice or care. Yeah, I’ll occasionally get the glance down from coworkers, but no one’s said or asked a thing. People will accept that that’s just Dude and that’s how he looks. Al long as you don’t go full on bra at work or with your social group you’ll be fine! I’ve been there and done that.

This small community preaching acceptance has been a great gift to me and I have come to love my breasts.  That said, I've also mentioned before that if given the choice between these rather voluptuous breasts and a flat chest from the time I was a boy, I'd take the flat chest.  Being different always comes at a price, regardless of what that difference may be.  Kids can be cruel and adults not especially empathetic about someone else's challenges.  But I'm not a boy and have lived with a fleshy chest my entire life.  I did not have developed breasts as a teen as some among had, but I was self-conscious enough about my body that I dressed to hide my curves.  Yes, I was fixated on breasts and brassieres for reasons I've outlined before and that made the journey that much more complicated.  But with age came diminishing testosterone and the softness of my chest gradually morphed into breasts.  I also had a fetish for brassieres so when I encountered men who were dealing with breasts developing on their chests who opted for brassieres I jumped into the fray.  So, I HAVE breasts... I love putting on a brassiere and enjoy the new reality...  Since I have breasts it makes sense to love them and it makes sense to find lovely brassieres that show them to advantage... and it is fun to take a few photos to show them off...   Nice to be part of this club... even if it seems to be on hiatus...

I'm with ya 42C.  My boyish bod like yours took a full change to breast as I got older.  Accept? Yes.  Can it be a bit tricky at times?  Can't deny that either.  Toning down is a must, not because of me, rather society.  I do enjoy a well fitting shaping bra when I can.  That is not having meetings with others as much.  As Traveler said:

  "...as you don’t go full on bra at work or with your social group you’ll be fine."

It is what it is.  To bad but...

  If you notice the other side of this site isn't very active.  Not much activity at all.  Perhaps many are just reading post here and living with it or they are getting the medical support they need with engaging with a social group here.

  Regardless,  I'm happy to be a part of this also and appreciate all the comments and advice given here.

It appears there are a few folks browsing these threads because when I post a photo of my breasts in a brassiere there is generally a "response"... recently 24 views for a triptych I created.  So whether folks want to talk about men with breasts wearing brassieres, there are a few who want to see them.  No judgment on my part because I like to see them as well.  I know we are not alone...

And like others here, I have no interest in flaunting my voluptuous breasts... anywhere but here.
