for good reason. they mean exactly what they said: the person has it, a mild case, AND they think it hides well. at that point i tell people they just have to decide whether they think they can live with it or not. i have a fairly "mild" case, and it screwed things up close to as bad for me as any severe case. there is a difference between having a mild case and not having it at all, whether you recognize it or not. i also look for certain contour details that might be lost on you.
didn't say it was wrong to say that they have a mild case, i said it pretty much has the same effect as saying "you have it." When has "you have a very mild case, don't worry about it" ever made the thread op just up and leave and go on with their life? Guess it's probably happened before, but never have i seen it.
instead of 80% not understanding that, since we can tell by the cases on our own frontsides, i'd say 90% of us probably do.
edit: now wait a minute. i assume what you REALLY mean is not that the pecs reside IN the chest like you mistakenly claim but that they're physically separate from the tissue above them in which gyne forms. but whether i'm giving you too much credit or not, a blunder like that hardly positions you to go calling other people morons. fess up, you're not blatino or jake under a different name now, are you?
no, most do not. have you not seen threads where the person has no traces whatsoever of gyno and there's always a few people that will confirm their worries without any merit at all? I'd be willing to bet that if posted a picture of Brad Pitt's chest on this forum there'd be at least one or two "yes, you have it" dipshits.
Don't exactly know what you're trying to say bout the pec muscles thing... i figured that saying pec muscles are in the chest would be enough of a description.
somehow you think we can't possibly factor that in, and as if i didn't know what either a hunched overweight or normal figure looks like. i'd bet in most cases they're trying to make you see something they can already feel without pictures anyway. it's possible for a pretty large gyne mass to almost hide if it's flat enough. gyne cases vary in the z axis too, not just the x and y.
not you specifically, of course, but yes, i don't believe most people can factor it in. How many times have you seen someone say "from the X pic it looks like you have it but the others im not sure... please post more pics" the X pic being the one when the person is hunched over and the rest normal posture....?
including yours again? i wish it were better, but, based on the kinds of reports i've seen come in, as imperfect as pictures are compared to an exam, i think i'd take the diagnosis of most non-professional gyne sufferers here, who have examined more cases and have more first-hand experience, over your average general prac. i await the day when that's no longer true, but we're not there yet.
Assuming the doctor knows what gyno is... then yes, even my opinion. nearly every person that has posted pictures on this site saying that their doc said that didn't have it didn't have it.
and just for the record even if a said person has gyno but it's so mild to the point where noone would ever readily notice it let's just say that they don't have it. I can't remember the statistics, but i remember reading that around 40% of males have some form of gyno. If this is true I believe the definition needs to be more discriminating and rule out people that have a few particles of tissue in their breasts.
PS i aint either of those guys you've mentioned.
