Yes, my avatar is a picture of me. I posted a sequence of my changes in the Picture Pages sub-forum. Thank you for the compliment, I'm pretty happy with how they are. The boobie fairy still visits regularly, but we mostly chat about how pleased I am with them
. She is very persuasive about more growth, but I don't want more. They really can't be hidden anymore, even under a jacket. The shape is there for anyone looking to see it.
I am a "man" as you say and not going to change that. I am not at all uncomfortable with being a man. I never have been. As a child, my 3 wishes from the genie were always money, an ability to switch genders with a mental command, and the third varied over the years. I have never been impressed with overly masculine or overly feminine people. My wife isn't into my boobs or turned on by them, but she isn't against them either. Our relationship has always been far more than a physical one which just demonstrates that my first genie wish should have always been for her. My wife and I talk about my boobs some but no-one else does. My daughter can't stop checking them out but says nothing. My son actually has some himself, although at his age and weight that isn't too uncommon and he never says anything to me about them or mentions them. I am very curious to see if his go away over the next few years or not. My friends all check them out, some more than others. But no-one is impolite enough to say anything although one of my younger friends one day got busted so bad (non-verbally) that he started asking me about what kind of material my shirt was made of (an under-armor shirt), lol! Nice try at explaining why he was looking at my chest so long!
I don't dress to show them off, avatar notwithstanding, so I don't make them obvious. I do tend to wear shirts and such that either don't show them much or do nothing to enhance the boob shape of them. In the colder weather, I wear a spandex tank under my shirt, and they flatten out quite a bit and look a bit more like chest muscle (which I did have quite a bit of 20 years ago when I was into bodybuilding a little). People usually see what they expect to see anyway.
As far as what I have had to deal with, the trials in my life from other people have not been because of my body. My experience in life is that people who are mean tend to be cruel about things they themselves are interested in. They will knock you about something they feel is a shortcoming of their own. Or they will go at you over anything that they feel is a strength of theirs to make themselves feel like they are really special due to that perceived strength. I have only encountered a couple of people in my life who actually took any trouble to know anything for real about me to use against me. The worst things in life that I have had to deal with about my body have nothing to do with boobs or feminization or anything else this forum has to do with.
And no you aren't nosey or abrupt, I'm delighted by your interest!
