Seems an odd question but bugs me

Because when the embryo is in the womb at the beginning, the chromosomes haven't yet "decided" whether the baby's gonna be male or female, so only the basic things develop - like nipples - and then towards the middle of the pregnancy or whatever, the sex it better defined, and then the "parts" develop. Lols, hope I helped.

All humans begin life in the womb as females. If no Y chromosome is present in the foetus, then the embryo will continue to develop as and be born as a female. If there is a Y chromosome present in the embryo, the male sex hormone testosterone restricts the full development of breasts to just nipples, the labia fuse to become the scrotum and clitoris develops fully to become a penis. If the Y chromosome prevails in producing a male, this is not done without a fight. Male babies are weaker as a result than female ones, occounting for the slightly higher death rate in male babies.
Because we are built to a common pattern. All people contain the genetic information to be either male or female, but in the vast majority of people only one alternative develops.
All humans are born with rudimentary potential breasts. In the case of women they are triggered to develop hormonally as a secondary sexual characteristic. Men not only have nipples, but undeveloped (pre-pubescent) breasts. Anyway, they have entertainment value.

well, the truth might bug you more....nipples on men are there from the beginning, because until the third month of gestation all fetuses are female. In the third month, hormones are released due to the Y chromosome being present and the fetus begins to take on male characteristics, the clitoris becomes the penis, the vagina morphs into the scrotum and so forth.

From what I believe when the embyo turns into a foetus, the sex is not known, therefore, the foetus has nipples. However, once the foetus reaches approx 8 - 10 weeks, the sex is then determined to be male or female, with nipples.

Because the nipples develop before the sex of the child is determined and therefore both sexes have nipples , although obviously the female nipples develop further for the purpose they are designed for.

Nipples form on the unborn fetus before mother nature decides to make it a girl or a boy.

Because a man's body usually begins to create as a women's body. Thus, nipples are formed becuase the body thinks it is creating a female.

Men are first reserves. Many documented sightings of milk being extracted by men, (Honest) especially in very adverse conditions. (Prisoner of war camps). So when women stop using breasts for what they were intended, and just use them to control men, men will grow breasts! (Ask god if you don't believe me.) Man boobs is creeping into societies language. Laugh if you will, but time will tell. I wish you well. Terry.

They were once women!! In the womb... the embreyo hasnt decided whether it will be a boy or girl until the nipples have already developed!

So they can have them pierced
So they can look like women after gender redirection surgery
So torturers can clip electrodes to them
To break up the expanse of pink shiny chest
To give the tattooist something to think about
Because Gods got them and he made man in his own image.
