They're closing linked to a nice gut, but have a feminine conotation to them - the anthisis of a rugged, manly beer gut. So are they welcome here or is it a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy?

ah the moobs... have to say they are not very flattering or very functional either

***Tom Dunne*** · 14-03-2007, 15:51

I would class them under socially acceptable, but morally reprehensible.

The medical term is called "Gynecomastia" find out more here.

Gyno and "man boobs" can be two very different things.

Some dude who is simple fat and overweigth, carrying a lot of adipose tissue ( fat cells ) can have man boobs in appearance if he is genetically inclined towards storing fat in the front of his body and particularly his chest area.

Gyno is a different thing, normally caused by a very high test:est conversion rate within a dude and he will then proceed to develop actually female breast tissue, though on a very small scale.

Not at all my tubby friend! I just want to clear up the gyno thing before my pie loving amigo who hang out here need to roll down the road to the doctors for fear of high test:est conversion rates!!!!

i know this is a cliché but had to post some of this from seinfeld, when kramer develops the 'bro' man bra.

George and Kramer sit one side of a booth, facing Jerry. George is wearing a
purple shirt. Kramer's eating a sandwich heartily. George looks as if he might
never want to eat again.

GEORGE: My father opened his shirt...

JERRY: Yeah, and?

GEORGE: (nods to Kramer) Tell him, Kramer.

KRAMER: (matter of fact) He had breasts.

George nods, Jerry has a confused expression. Kramer keeps on eating. Jerry
thinks for a moment, George can't even look anyone in the eye.

JERRY: What d'you mean, breasts?

GEORGE: (waves his hands) Big breasts!

JERRY: So what? A lot of older men have that.

KRAMER: No, not these. These were real hooters.

Jerry pulls a face at the thought.

GEORGE: I was throwing up all night. It was like my own personal Crying Game.

KRAMER: Well, maybe you're gonna get 'em too, George.

GEORGE: (worried) Yeah, that's right. What if it's a genetic thing, like father
like son?

JERRY: But, your father's not bald.

GEORGE: No, no no. That skips a generation. The baldness gene comes from your
grandfather.

JERRY: Then I suppose the bosom gene comes from your grandmother.

George snaps his finger and points, in agreement with Jerry. He continues to
look deeply worried.

KRAMER: You know, Frank can't be too comfortable with those things clanging
around. He should wear something for support.

GEORGE: You mean like a bra?

KRAMER: A bra is for ladies. I'm talking about a support undergarment
specifically designed for men.

JERRY: Boy, that brain never stops working, does it?

KRAMER: I tell you, I'm gonna go noodle with this.

They're closing linked to a nice gut, but have a feminine conotation to them - the anthisis of a rugged, manly beer gut. So are they welcome here or is it a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy?
