Just like everyone else, even men have some breast tissues.
In some, it never changes, while in others it expands due to hormonal changes, medications, or an underlying medical condition.
A large majority of men have man boobs or “moobs” simply due to excessive fat deposition on the chest. It might not be desired by most men, but it is a reality.
