I am in agreement regarding with prevalence of generally overweight men and the general lack of response to those with prevalent breasts, I have noticed this as well. The problem for me personally is that I am not, and very likely never will be overweight. As a matter of fact, it is unlikely that I will even be a normal weight. I am underweight, quite skinny. I realize that this is enviable for some, and I have no desire to be overweight; however, this presents a unique problem as it does set me apart visually from those others as a male with breasts. It is not your typical "oh he's just fat" type of thing in my case. I notice men with prominent breasts on a daily basis, but not a single one is skinny like me. Basically, mine have nowhere to hide, as it were. I know what the solution is to this dilemma, own it and be myself, but for me that is a process I am still struggling with.

Doodlebug mentioned giving the gyno excuse, which I have always thought I would use as well. I believe this would be fine if someone is asking you about the reason you have breasts, but in the realm of public perception, I highly doubt anyone besides those very close to me are actually going to ask. Most would be likely to simply stare and draw their own conclusions.

I am very thankful for all of the great discussion so far, and I hope to see more. I don't want any of you to think I am repeatedly trying to shoot down your suggestions either. On the contrary, I am either trying to clarify my exact position on the matter, or in some cases, just playing devil's advocate to spur the conversation onward. Great stuff so far, it is very enlightening to get all of your own feelings on these matters and gain insight into your thought processes.
