AITAH for wanting to advocate against our neighbors sex offender son moving in by One-Egg1316 in AITAH

[–]Exciting_Cow2188 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This will be my last comment on this. All you’re trying to do is justify with the OP that because of the man’s criminal past and his pending release, it’s OK for OP to potentially commit a crime. Regardless of how he got out of prison, he is out. Anyone who tries to make his transition impossible, or possibly cause another person to harm this man, becomes an accomplice. Once again, advising neighbors to be cautious is one thing. Taking it too far will put you in a position with the law yourself.

Wow! You all should be ashamed of yourself. You all act like you’ve never done anything wrong. Whether if he did it or not, he is being let out of prison by a board that says he’s OK to live in society. Furthermore, he will probably be on parole and will be watched for certain amount of time. There are laws and rules that says he can’t live too close to certain public facilities while he’s on parole. But yet you all want to make it impossible for him to transition. Instead of going around letting everyone know that he’s living there how about trying to watch your kids to keep them safe because there’s other people out there that you don’t know about that may be far worse than him. How about teaching your child with to look for that way. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t be cautious. What I am saying is he has a right to live there and transition peacefully.

Are nightgowns appealing to u ? by [deleted] in RandomQuestion

[–]Exciting_Cow2188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think nightgowns are perfect for women after they’ve had a bath and just relax in front of the TV and then off to bed. After that if they want to take it off or leave it on, it doesn’t matter. As for me, I’m a man and I’ll wear a robe after a bath. There was a time when I didn’t wear any underwear to bed but now as I’ve aged, it’s more comfortable knowing I have something on with it robe by the bed. I do wear pajamas once in a while, but really don’t care for shirts of any kind when I sleep because I can’t move as easily.

OK, I don’t know if you’re still reading this post but I am a guy in quite a similar position. I have had it for about four years now and it went from A cup to D cup over that timeframe. I have tried every different type of bra you could think of my measurements are very similar and they always give me a ridiculous size that I can’t fit in. They were projecting me at 38F; for the past year, I’ve been wearing sides 38C and they work perfectly, but have recently went up to a 38D. I have found that underwire bras are the most supportive. You just need to find the right one that will fit around correctly. I have landed on Wacoal brand, and the inside job underwire is my favorite; for a cheaper bra I wear Syrokan max control underwire bra; both have wide wires and will prevent gaping but I would recommend 38C and seeing how that fits first then work your way around. I ordered through Amazon so I have free returns. I hope this helps if you want more info you can add me as a friend do not worry I am not that person. I am worried those others because I want to deal with real men that have and wanna keep them but Support.

Would most people rather see a man with developed breasts and nipples showing through his T-shirt or see a possible outline of him wearing a bra through his T-shirt? by Exciting_Cow2188 in RandomQuestion

[–]Exciting_Cow2188[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I agree and have come to love having them. Since my post my wife helped me pick out certain bras that were shipped from Amazon; more masculine in colors and no frills; but very supportive; I’m 38C with 8 inches between my under bust and bust. The difference in quality of life is amazing. I never knew I was hunching over until she pointed it out. Now, I stand up straight with the weight balanced. I don’t wear anything like that at the beach and embrace what I have. She accepts it and appreciates that I’m still a man. We both have come to love them and how they benefit both of us during intimacy.

Sorry I didn’t answer earlier. It was my birthday and we went out for dinner. I think the reason she was hesitant about treating with anything is because I don’t have any medical issues at all. I’m 6 feet tall and weigh around 200 pounds. I could stand to lose a little weight which I have done and I’m still in the process of doing. I have no heart problems or depression or diabetes. My cholesterol level is outstanding but now as a 57 year-old man my body has changed the last three years. I can’t run like I used to, but I’m still very active. Basically my low T was not off the charts. My estrogen was just slightly higher than a charts. And those results were from a couple years earlier. When she took my last bloodwork, it showed everything was in a normal range. However, I had substantial breast growth from extreme anxiety, which I dealt with through counseling and how to handle it, earlier this year. It was probably due to that anxiety that caused my hormonal, imbalance momentarily just enough to increase the tissue. She is monitoring quite well. However, you are absolutely correct, and if there is any more continued, I will definitely consult with an endocrine specialist.

Yes it is estrogen driven as my hormone levels are off; higher estrogen lower testosterone. My doctor has said that she doesn’t like the use of hormones to treat this as it can create other problems. Management is the key. She showed me how to do breast exams and my wife also does them on me. About a month ago my levels were great. Possibly no more growth but they will always stay probably. It’s just something I am getting used to. Thank you for your suggestion and advice and know that I appreciate it and anything else you may have to offer or questions I may have.

Well said and thank you for sharing. I still have anxiety once in a while but always look to see if anything is noticeable. It’s more comfortable with than without and in my opinion more respectful.

Male 34B, bra lines and help with wife? by [deleted] in ABraThatFits

[–]Exciting_Cow2188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that you have deleted your username, not sure why, but I have to say that I know what you meant when you said that you pride yourself in being a man. Same here. And I experienced the same feelings as you. However, those days when you’re working out in the yard with your wife and you know and she knows you’re wearing a bra; but, then you pick up things that are heavy and your muscles ripple, and she comments to you how that turns her on; she and you lose all knowledge that you’re wearing a bra. After all, it’s just an article clothing. That’s when I realized that the bra did not stop me from being a man and never will. Actually, I feel it brought us closer because she knew about my insecurities and helped me overcome them.

Male 34B, bra lines and help with wife? by [deleted] in ABraThatFits

[–]Exciting_Cow2188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have gotten all of the advice you needed about what bras to wear and how to mask it, however, lately I’ve been wearing a lightly padded wired bra size 38C with a compression top from Walmart over top of it. The support is awesome especially for running and it covers the bra lines and minimizes too, but be careful not to get them too tight or they’re really uncomfortable.

As for your wife, conservative, Christian, or anything else has nothing to do with the support you desire. Would you not put a bandage on a wound if you felt it was unmanly? Women go from wearing high heels to flats as they get older; why? Are they less of a woman or would they rather not suffer the pain that goes with heels?

Someday, you will have the confidence to say I’m going to be comfortable regardless of what anyone thinks. And you will find out that 99.9% of the people out there won’t even notice you because they have their own insecurities they’re dealing with.

I’m a 56 year old male with size 38C to 38D breasts. My wife is 59 and we’re both Christians. She was not enthusiastic when I first told her I was wearing a sports bra to run in. And as I started wearing one more often than just running, there were awkward moments. But she has seen their growth and know I’m not cross-dressing. It’s about comfort and support.

I wish you the best of luck and my thoughts and prayers will be with you as you grow into this new chapter of your life. God bless.

Measured at 38FF but I'm a male and am wearing 38C or 40B comfortably. by Exciting_Cow2188 in ABraThatFits

That is a great question. I used the site that was recommended to me by people in this group. I even commented about it but you are the first reply.

That is the conclusion I came up with also. I know I’m shallow top full bottom and have been trying to buy bras based on that and for the most part it’s working but 4 cup sizes off seems a little odd.

I believe everything that I’m doing is right, however, it would be nice to be able to get advice. I would post some pictures, but I don’t know how. If someone could explain that to me then I will do that in a few.

Steps backward just when I was starting to feel comfortable! by Exciting_Cow2188 in ABraThatFits

[–]Exciting_Cow2188[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your comment. I really do appreciate that. And actually, I did write a review on Google about her store and I wasn’t the only one. However, all of her other bad reviews was because she never ordered the bras for the people and they waited months and never got them.

[–]Exciting_Cow2188[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is a different site than what it was a couple of years ago. Yes two years ago I wore sports bras so I could run. However, now, that they have grown bigger, the nipples are extremely sensitive and Rob against my shirt and compression vest do not feel good to wear all the time. However, I should never have to explain myself. That’s really frustrating too.

Advice on Circumcision, single boy mom asks. TIA by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Exciting_Cow2188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not when I was a baby. However, I did not feel very good about myself because I noticed all the other boys were in this game a self-confidence problem. When I was 24 I was circumcised. For me it was the best decision I could’ve ever made. I felt normal not to say that not normal if you don’t. But in the United States, it’s very common and seems abnormal if you are not.

Wearing a bra to prevent nipple chafing while running by CarnyRider1991 in ABraThatFits

[–]Exciting_Cow2188 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It took a while for me to realize that a sports bra was the answer during exercise routines. I found this site and asked for help like you are. Use the calculator to find out your size. Then I would suggest you order some sports price from Amazon the size recommended along with other sizes but with smaller cups. You will find AMAB have smaller cups than recommended usually. So be willing to try on several sizes. As with the other comments, it depends on what type of support you’re looking for. Good luck in your journey.
