why do men hav nipples?

Answer 1

Its the way humans are designed.

Answer 2

Because we are mammals and blessed with body hair, three middle ear bones, and the ability to nourish our young with milk that females produce in modified sweat glands called mammary glands.

Although females have the mammary glands, we all start out in a similar way in the embryo. During development, the embryo follows a female template until about six weeks, when the male sex chromosome kicks in for a male embryo. The embryo then begins to develop all of its male characteristics. Men are thus left with nipples and also with some breast tissue.

Men can even get breast cancer and there are some medical conditions that can cause male breasts to enlarge. Abnormal enlargement of the breasts in a male is known a gynecomastia. Gynecomastia can be caused by using anabolic steroids. So, if your favourite athlete suddenly develops man boobs and starts winning gold medals, you know the reason why.

Answer 3

I think it was a predetermined thing. Like boys and girls are exactly the same until so far during a pregnancy... that could be why. After so many weeks, the boy gets his testes, so maybe it was predetermined like hair. Why do guys have hair, why do they have nipples? If you look at guy's nipples, they don't have an opening though.

Answer 4

I've heard because all fetus's start out as female, and at a certain time in the pregnancy the male hormone is produced. But you know how hearing things go.

Answer 5

So that when you want them to do some thing you have another way to inflict pain into them.
