I'm an over weight guy and have very large man-boobs that look much like female breasts due to an excess of estrogen. Many people have told me that i should wear a bra. Should i? and if so how or where can i get one?

That's actually a real problem that many overweight men face. It can be embarrassing to talk about, so I think it's brave that you posted this question.
They actually make special vests/tank top type shirts for men that compress the area. Try http://www.morrisdesigns.com/gv.htm or http://underworks.com/ if you want to know more.
A lot of people joke about Victoria Secret. You DO NOT need a regular female bra. That would just look silly, wouldn't it? :)
Good luck.

Having at one point been 330 lbs (no longer, I have started an exercise/diet regime, and lost 100 lbs) I'll vote no. If you're concerned with the weight in your chest, wear an undershirt; they're cheaper, and will do fine. Much of the use of a bra is to form a more shapely breast as well as support for unusual physical exertion. If you decide to start a very active hobby, you might want to invest in a support top such as bicyclists and some swimmers wear, but otherwise you'll get along fine without one.

Check out this website. They have just what you need. It is not a BRA either. A very healthy way to lose the weight and gain muscle and a whole lot of confidence. They work with you one on one. I lost 15 lbs and 7 inches in no time. So can YOU. Good Luck

You might consult with someone at a large men's clothing store (or section of a department store) for alternate suggestions to wearing a women's bra.
Other suggestions: check with your doctor (can he/she help with the excess extrogen issue?) or have a session with a personal trainer to learn exercises for toning your chest muscles.
How do you feel when people have suggested you wear a bra? It seems like an insensitive thing to say to a guy.

Gross.
A man wearing a bra would be WAY worse than the fact that he had boobs. It proves you don't care enough to do something about it.
Work out. A lot.

You can order one online, but they'll all be women's bras. Just go to any website, like sears.com, or victoriassecret.com and pick one out.

No, don't wear that, it would be gay-like. You could wear a tight shirt beneath your clothes (to keep it in place)
