For me….my journey with gynecomastia didn’t start until about three or four years ago. I was 55/56 then, and had bladder problems, mostly in the form of somewhat frequent urination at night, which turned out being a diagnosis of BPH. I was then prescribed Finasteride and Alfuzosin. 

My wife developed sleep apnea, and she snored a decent amount. Since I drive commercially, not getting enough sleep made it tough on my days driving. I coped with that by consuming copious amounts of caffeinated soft drinks, and that ultimately led to some weight gain.

Between my finasteride, weight gain, and natural loss of testosterone as I aged, I acquired some boobs.

As already mentioned by others, I, too, am coping with my “endowment” and am getting better with simply not giving a frog’s fat ass as to what others think nowadays.

I’ve been at a 42C for quite some time, and those bras have been purchased in minimizers mostly, either in Vanity Fair or Bali, but I’m beginning to believe that I need to bump up to a 42D around the corner.

Sigh. How much better off us in the “club” could be if we weren’t judged and eyeballed so much.

I do, however, enjoy my bust, and I wouldn’t have surgery for removing them.

Thanks, I'll take a look.  Nice to see some colors that aren't overly feminine.  Not sure about the bottoms, might have to stick with trunks...

Nice bra, thanks for sharing.  I think you will appreciate the support and control.

For me, I find the calculators over estimate the size by a band and a cup, perhaps due to having broad shoulders/lats which the estimation may not account for.  That said it is still a bit of trial and error, kind of like mens pants where one waist size can be way too big in some brands/styles and far too tight in others, and of course the shaping varies too…. so check the return policy if trying on at home.  Hope this helps.

I've come to the place where, for the most part, I don't give a rip about what society thinks of me. I'm actively pursuing growing my breasts. I'm not going to hide them. When it comes to our bodies, shame should not enter the picture. At 80 years of age, I'm living me, not what I think or imagine will be accepted. I find for the most part people just don't care anyway. The ones that are negative just don't matter.

  I like how and what you said there 42C.  In this space I can accept and give encouragement.  It's a nice thing.  I feel me coming to terms with it is the easy part.  I have to say I haven't come to complete terms with how I feel society looks at men like us.  I wish I felt better and could just put on my nice underwire and a T shirt and be.  Wearing a button up if even unbuttoned helps me feel better about it.  The upside I don't look so sloppy either.

I appreciate the conversation.  This is what makes this website so important.  Regardless of when our development began, having breasts as a man is anxiety provoking.  Yes, my circumstances as a sexual trauma survivor complicated the matter but there was still shame associated with it all.  Like most of us I've spent my life looking for a path that made sense.  It was coming to this website and discovering men who were working with self-acceptance that things began to change.  In reality, all of us present to the world what we believe the world will accept, while in our private moments we relate to the world in a more honest way.  This feels like an oasis where we can refresh ourselves and where we can be honest about our bodies and how we care for them.  Respect everyone... living your life truthfully, with kindness and compassion rather than shame and self-denigration...  How we do this thing called life is completely up to us.  Enjoy the ride everyone!

You definitely belong in this club and I imagine those breasts would be very happy to be held in the soft cups of an underwire brassiere.  That is a different world and not one you may wish to explore if your partner/wife objects.  Many of the fellows on this website are married or in intimate relationships in which such adventures are at least tolerated.  You'll have to chart your own path in that regard, but, yes, a brassiere would be happy holding your breasts...

After reading the comments recommending a fitting, in my first month of trying to find a bra that fit I went to three fittings.  My under bust was 41.  With that as a starting point, I ended up in bralettes at the first two places.  My third place was an undergarment boutique and I had found my “go to” place.  I ended up walking out with three 36 D bras.  A lot of stretching going on, but it worked for me and ended up being a fun experience.
