Manboobs, big deal or not

Hi, im 18 and a senior in high school. I used to be in good shape, football, sports, really athletic, then my doctor put me on medicine for anxiety. I gained a lot of weght. I am now 279lbs and 6' 1". I got off the medicine and have lost. Even as far back as i can remember i was very insecure about my chest area. I wear tight shirts underneath to hide it or wear sweat shirts. Ive found a girl that i thhnk likes me but with dating im really insecure about having sex due to that. Is it a huge factor and turnoff?

    Not a big deal if the person really likes you. I love my husband, and think his are kinda sexy in their own way, i really dont mind them at all. A girl who really likes you wont care! Confidence is also sexy - and it can go a long way.

    I find it interesting that some people say things like "eat healthy, pushups, or exercise and they will go away". Some people think everything is so simple, but they forget things dont always work the same for everyone. Like if I think all ignorant or insensitive people can be taught things or taught to be sensitive to other peoples "misfortune" or the path their life has taken. If it doesnt affect someone's life directly why do they seem to oppose things the loudest. If a guy has manboobs or a female has barelyboobs- so what. If they are happy and content with themself, why not just throw them all the support you would want if you were in their situation. (I am a guy and I wish I had manboobs. It would be easier when I put on a bra, since Im a crossdresser)

    Well if your so worried about it why don't you exercise and eat healthy to work it off? And if your worried about girls not liking you, well all I can say is that if she really cares about you then she won't care what you look like. :)

    Pushups and pullups should help tighten that up.

    if it's just fat, it's just fat and you can burn it, but if teyre like legit boobs, it could be a condition where your body produces too much estrogen

    If the girl you are thinking about dating cares about you, this should not be a factor in your relationship.
    Matter of fact, I would make it a point, after getting to know her, to tell her how you are feeling about your body, that way it is off the table and is in the past.
    Don't dwell on it, and move on.
    This is not a big deal, trust me on this.
    I wish you well my friend.
    **As a note. I'm glad you have lost weight, as it is not healthy to be overweight. If you still have concerns about your weight, see a sports medicine physician, and follow his advice on diet and caloric requirements.
    Bye.

    I have man boobs. I've felt a bit insecure about them. Now I feel a lot better about them. Though I still need to loose a few pounds.

    ^ It's official - man boobs can be sexy.

    Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal.

    Don't worry about it, if it bothers you do some abb and chest exercises. I am a girl, personally, I don't mind either way. Men, who are too buff creep me out, I'd rather have a mildly overweight boyfriend than have the scarifying ripped kind of guy. In fact I prefer them with meat.

    I used to be pretty overweight and had the man boob issue. As I lost weight and gained confidence, I had trouble losing the man boobs. I managed to gain a girlfriend though. Well the first time we had sex, she sucked on them manboobs like it was lesbian porno and I think she got more out of it that I did. I'm not too worried about them anymore. Maybe you'll luck out too. Oh, and you're 18? You'll get over it in a few years anyways. It's part of that high school self esteem crap.

    Join the club....I hate having man-boobs and have thought about surgery. Just might do it before I get too old. The only thing that helps is to loose as much weight as possible.
