What is your worst gynecomastia memory :'(

[demha]

just had my surgery, think i have a hematoma or w.e. its called.

[biggieboobs]

i only made out with her 
i dident get the chance to beat that yet.

lmao...beat lol
i feel you on the pot holes and seatbelt thing lol.
i'm from nyc too and before i had my gyne removed i would always put the chest part of the seatbelt behind me, or not where my seatbelt at all.

and i would always drive with my right hand so that my arm could somewhat block the view of my chest

lol..  yep! i do the same thing man.  drive with my right hand so my arm would block the view of my chest. i cant wait to be free!!! 2 more days!!!

i would always put the chest part of the seatbelt behind me, or not where my seatbelt at all.

that part's dangerous, it defeats most of the safety.  unless you have airbags, hitting a steering wheel at 70mph would leave you a mess even if you didn't fly out the windshield.  i hate the way it rides too, but there are some corners i wouldn't cut.

hi all, i know i posted in this thread before but i really need to get this off my chest (no pun intended) .. just when you start thinking that things are getting better, boom you're all of a sudden "set back".. i knew this girl for like 5 months already, she was actually my orientee at work and i had a huge crush on her.. she seemed very cool and still is, but here's the deal.. 3 weeks ago we began hanging outside of work, the first time we met was at a bar, we got drunk and i told her that i have a crush on her..to my surprise she said she felt the same way about me all along, it was a great night =) .. so for the past few weeks we hung out 2-3 x / week and she was really into me, she slept over my place a few times but nothing happened, just innocent friendship at the begining... 2 days ago things started to heat up and we "did" it, and yes it was the very first time i took my shirt off in front of her, well i had too because she insisted and i had no choice and i didn't want to make a fool out of myself by making a stupid excuse     the good thing was that it was dark, and i didn't pay much attention to it, it wasn't my 1st priority of you know what i mean .. so after that a few days pasts by and i'm like in "cloud 9" until tonight    i call her and ask her to come over and she does, i was wearing a pretty tight shirt at that time, dunno but i felt comfortable around her and plus she never said anything about it ... here's what happened, she knocks on my door and i answer, i said hi and i gave her a kiss and a hugg and when i did, she puts her hands on my left chest and gives it two very gentle squeeze, it seemed more like a "playful thing" rather than an insult, like she meant nothing of it and just proceeded inside.. ofcourse i played it out and just acted normal but inside i wanted to cry  i bought dinner for us that night cause i was soo hungry but feeling soo embarrassed inside, i took two bites and all of a sudden felt like throwing up literally.. i'm pretty sure she didn't mean anything of it but i felt soo embarrassed inside, maybe because of the shyte i had to go through (comments etc) in the past .. just when i thought things were getting better, even just a tiny bit of confidence, it's back to the "drawing board" for me .. as for her, she's still the same, the feelings is still there i think lol, but it just ruined the night for me internally and i feel like shyte    i apologize for this post, but this is the only place where i feel that i can face my "deamons"...thanks

take control of the situation and fix it. 

tell her sometime you're aware you have a little extra mass there, it's called gynecomastia, and you plan to get rid of it.  she won't be impressed by embarassment, she will be impressed by the fact you don't care, don't let it get to you, and are confident enough to decide for yourself what to do about it instead of being victimized by it.

what2do,

If your gyne was an issue for her, believe me, she'd already be gone. I'm sure the "grab" was innocent, she seems like a very sweet girl from what you've described.

just my 2 cents,

Well, Im 20 and in college. Um, my worst experience was actually recently. My G isnt that bad yet but having an A cup (and growing) can still draw attention (Im 6 foot 2 and 210). Anyway, I was in the kitchen making lunch and bent over to get something from a low cabinet when my little sister (high school age) asked me what my cup size was and if I needed her help buying bras. I didnt say anything, I told her I would be right back I had to use the restroom. God I was embarassed, though now Im slowly starting to be comfortable with my "breasts".

My worst gyne memory was every day from when I was 10 to febuary 2 2009. Febuary 3rd  I  took care of my problem I will be 40 next month. Reading all your stories I felt as if I was reading a book about my life. Its funny how we have or are  living the same nightmare . Unknowing to the people around us how fun being poked at us,  intentional or unintentional feels like a knife going through your heart. Gyne has  caused (at least for me) so much pain humiliation and shame it knocked the man right out of me . iF it bothers you and it dose or you wouldnt be here, get it taken care of. The mental scars are far more damageing then the condition. I have children now I didnt want to watch them swimming in pools with my wife and friends or going down water slides at water parks while Im sitting on the side lines in a tee shirt. and that was my life before and now it will be a alot different

Well I just found this site tonight and reading all this is exactly the stuff ive gone through in my life. Im 19 now, im about 5'9 and 160 and not overweight at all and I got G around 5th grade, for some reason I dealt with it and didn't search the internet in high school to find out what was wrong with me at all. I played football and there were always the dreaded shirts vs skins games, growing up in Hawaii made it even worse, theres the temptation for everyone around you to go to beach and I grew away from some good friends because they always went to the beach and I opted out. My worst memory is in 7th grade when I was walking to our hangout spot before school, I was passing a few guys I didnt know and the wind picked up. Full exposed through my shirt were 2 nipples sticking out an inch more than normal, they teased me and I hated them for the rest of middle school. Now im a sophomore in college and i find it harder and harder to avoid the beach, my college friends dont mind that I wear a shirt all the time and when I go in the water I always use a rash guard. Last year finally went to get some help and soon I want to go get the surgery, I would say that my G is a gland behind my nipples. Mostly only my nipples stick out weird. Yea that was long. It makes me feel better knowing im not the only one who has dealt with this for a long time.

Im a 17 year old senior and i have always been a more popular guy; so one day in Gym i saw this little freshemen skater kid that i really didnt like and i proceeded to say, "Nice skateboard bro!"(In a sarcastic tone), he then told me, "Nice boobs bro." Lmfao; i supose it was Karma and i needed a kick in the ass but god dam that one hurt.  Im now with this really awesome chick and i really dont want my G to f -u -c -k it up; she has already asked me why i wear 2 shirts and told me to puff out my chest more ><.  Im just trying to keep confidence and continue to go for it; also have doctors appointment soon to check me out, can i get surgery at age 17?

I think every story about gyne is a worst story ...anyone ever have somethin like this .....i was in college at a time where it was cold enough to wear winter type heavy clothes ....i met these 2 girls and was into one of them and she was a lil flirty with me ....needless to say , i felt comfortable with wearing the winter gear to cover up .....next thing i know, we get one of those freak days where its like 70 out ..i wore a tshirt , dreaded seeing this girl , saw her and from then on she pretty much , in a nice way blew me totally off ......im actually post op and get more att. then i know what to do with ....and i dont mean to sound cocky  but comming from having total shame for yourself to having confidence , people arround you notice

Mine is probably when I went on holiday with my best mate, his mum, and one of her mates
Two weeks in Gran Canaria, temperature on average was about 37 Celcius

Anyway, on the plane there, I decided to wear jeans, socks, trainers, a thick polo shirt, and a hoody. I would have been ok if I had taken my jacket off, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I sweated buckets on the coach to the hotel, and I'm sure lots of other people were aware of it too.
It was then I realised I actually had to go out in just a t-shirt for a change. That feeling was absolutely awful. Luckily, I buy my t-shirts based on how well they hide away my breasts.
I always avoided going out of the hotel room when possible (shared with my friend. He smoked cannabis at the time, so was quite lethargic; and self-conscious, like myself). Whenever I did go out, I always tried to bring as little attention to myself as possible.
I always the pool and sea at all costs, and when we did go to a water park, I still wore a t-shirt even when swimming. I also saw a couple laughing at my gyne, which is the worst feeling in the world.

I never took my top off once that holiday, and I was feeling so low that I actually cried a couple of times in the bathroom. It actually sounds quite pathetic when I look back now, nearly 2 years on.

I absolutely HATE gynecomastia
