Weird. Are there men with large areolas? Also why does nipple radius vary between the sexes. Is there an advantage for woman or is it just randomly different.
estrogen causes breast development, when the breasts develop and grow, it usually grows the areolas as part of the process.
Most men never get high enough estrogen levels to drive breast development, so they live their entire lives with tiny undeveloped prepubescent breasts, with small areolas.
There are variations between people, but the difference in development during puberty is much greater.
Also some men get higher levels of estrogen temporarily during puberty, or other times due to an endocrine disorder, which causes the start of breast development which can cauae larger areolas than they would otherwise have.
Meh, as a cis man, I don’t care about my undeveloped prepubescent breasts. I don’t think men are particularly concerned about them because we have no use for them. It’s just another weird guy thing I suppose.
I am a cis man too, and I agree. I just thought that particular way of phrasing might confuse some particularly fragile man egos.
“My breasts are not underdeveloped. I have some of the best man tits out of all my friends. I am a BIG STRONG MANLY man, I am NOT tiny OR underdeveloped.”
Mr. buffing_lecturer, your ideas for confusing some particularly fragile man egos are so innovative and you definitely do not have tiny underdeveloped prepubescent breasts. Please accept this gold on behalf of a kind stranger.
Probably breast feeding or something? I’m not gonna die and have my wife find that in my search history. And for the public record her areolas are just fine.
So babies are actually wired to look for the areolas for feeding, it’s part of why during pregnancy the areolas grow and darken, it makes them really easy for the baby to spot with their still developing eyes so they know where to aim for before crashing their face in to feed (it’s really funny when they miss btw)
Yeah I personally have areolas large enough that others have commented on them, including an ex that referred to them as “big pepperonis.” idk enough about the genetics to answer your second question.

I want to point this out to a cis man and see what happens

That’s every man and some women. Why you shaming us?
not every man. sometimes men can just grow breasts for no reason, but of course most will have gender-affirming surgery to get those removed

That’s a relief! We were all getting worried for a second there!
Can we really just trust some anonymous single-source online? For the sake of integrity in journalism we might need to do better.
Fine I’ll show you
O
Edit - here’s the other one
O
woah aren’t they supposed to look more like

?
I was just showing the areolas.
Here’s the nipples of you must see
.

ooh nice so she has nipples. good to know
Yeah but now there’s nudes of my wife floating around on the Internet. I should’ve searched the breast feeding thing.

I’ve seen photos of men with large areolas. It’s disturbing.
now i’m curious, thanks
also, are you a horse? and if not, are you sure?

Most trans men come with them stock. Some keep them, some don’t.
They have special glands the produce a smell (I think?) that help guide the baby. So yeah, breast feeding.
The Irish, apparently 🤷
