The most popular plastic surgery procedure for male Brits for the second straight year? Moob-removal.
Nope, this has nothing to do with FTM gender reassignment surgery, but with extra and unwanted fat hanging off these blokes’ chests. “The number of such operations rose from 323 in 2008 to 581 last year – an 80% increase – the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons said,” relays the BBC. “Pressure created by men’s magazines was partly to blame, one surgeon said. Cosmetic surgery appears to be defying the recession, with an overall increase in the number of procedures.” (Nose jobs, and surgery around the eyes rounded out the Top 3 most popular male procedures. Breast enlargement remains the most popular for women.)
It’s a procedure that can, evidently, be performed with just a laser and a vacuum tube (to suck out the fat). Or in some cases, prevented entirely by not using steroids. Juiceheads.

Who can blame them? There’s nothing worse than a set of moobs. Big gut, blubber butt, thunder thighs: you can get by with anything (to an extent) so long as you don’t have bitch tits.

Or they could just – you know – diet and exercise.

Oh man, wasn’t the best thing about being a guy that you DIDN’T have to do things to your body to get laid. STOP the madness. lol. Next thing you know we’re going to have gay anorexia, gay bulimia and long lines at the return counter at the clothes store when we have to return our size 2s for size 14s.

…..the Brits have universal health-care. Most Americans have full blown AIDS by the time they are forty hence the body-wasting or testosterone-fueled workout welfare muscle queens who hustle!

@ eric: Wait, you mean we don’t have those things already…

@#6 DONTBLAMEMEYET: Could you explain what you said, in English this time. And what it has to do with the post or other comments [ya know, those words you skip over before typing in your rants on Jews or AIDS and whatever other topic that bubbles up.] It could actually be interesting and worthwhile. Thanks.

@Luka@@peedhispants
Just based on conjecture and not fact like everyone else – settle down Moishe – I have Jewish friends but get tired of that yiddish humor – it’s better to not snicker behind your back about how it’s not that funny. BTW – Gays are totally funnier! Jewish gays – funny when openly gay!

@dontblamemeivotedforhillary: What the hell? Proofread your shit before you hit “Submit.” You didn’t address the word or topic of the article. You didn’t address the words or ideas of Lukas P. in your reply to Lukas. P. Moreover, you managed to prove his point by instead launching into an even crazier and incoherent rant about Jewish people. Please stop commenting.

Fat guys are soooo hot.

I have a lean muscular 6’3 frame and one of my breast was puffy. It happened at puberty and it never went away. Working out only made it stick out more and it’s not a matter of diet only. Yes, if it’s fatty, then diet can help, but in my case it was breast tissue and the only way to get rid of it is to have it extracted. It was the best thing I could have done. Most people didn’t notice, but I did, and that was all that mattered to me.

No. 10 · EnglishMuffin – I like Jewish people, with or without man-boobs, whether or not they free Palestine, whether or not they are Hiv-Positive, whether or not they are funny (I lied on the last one – no-one likes whiners!) @LukeSkyWalkDontRun and EnglishMuffin – Lukey is compiling a list of anyone that doesn’t Support the State of Israel (which I do!) from another thread. You just came in on his erratic conversation and my glib remarks because no-one is more special than anyone else.
Edumacation
@Jayson I’m glad SOMEBODY said it. While i’ll admit I could be leaner (5’7″ 130) I have 2 puffy nips (read: nips with breast tissue) currently, which appeared during puberty. As i’m only 18, I haven’t acquired the means to get them remove, but I plan to as soon as possible. It’s embarrassing and is the cause of me being a senior about to graduate who has never been on a date. (Yes, i’m sure it’s not me. I’ve been approached a couple times but rebuffed them due to being self conscious.)
EnglishPorFavor
@dontblamemeivotedforhillary: You’re the only one being erratic. I would point out that you’re offtopic but since I brought up your rant about jews 2 comments previous, you continuation about jews justs barely makes the cut of “On Topic”
dontblamemeivotedforhillary
@EnglishCrookedTeeth – Jewish people are just like everyone else – with or without man-boobs. Why all the vitriol and who made you hallway monitor?
Lukas P.
@Edumacation: It’s all about attitude: look around you and you’ll see plenty of people with some physical “imperfection” they’re worried about — “bad hair, bad skin, bad teeth, too big or too small or lopsided asscheeks, boobs, eyes, etc.”— who get dates and partners and offers. I know a guy with a third nipple, one with severe scoliosis and a woman with a few fused fingers and toes and they never let it stop them from pursuing dating. And from getting/keeping dates.
If someone said NO WAY, they moved on; just like supposedly “perfect people” do. We all get rejected. Don’t let someone else’s possible viewpoint on your minor “flaw” hold you back. We’ll be rooting for you!
Some self confidence, a dose of humor, the ability to talk to other people all go a long way. Don’t worry for more than two minutes a day about what someone will think of your brest issue. I made that 2 minute figure up, but you get the idea!
Mr.Jones
I have manboobs and all the men I go to bed with just go crazy over them grabbing them. Not one has ever comlained about them. So that’s the other side of the coin boys…
benlayvey
@Mr.Jones: “Not one has ever comlained about them.” Yeah, not to your face!
EnglishPorFavor
@Lukas P.: I’m just a perfectionist. Plus, I’m in high school; so I can rationalize my avoidance by saying “It wouldn’t have worked out anyway, in 5 months we would part.” I plan on getting it correcter sometime this summer, before college. New school, new slate.
Lukas P.
@EnglishPorFavor: Summer before college is a fun time to go on some dates: it’s good practice! If it doesn’t work out, you just go onto university and start dating again!
I’m ethically compelled to tell you:
*Just don’t let all the dating you’ll be doing screw up your academics, *”Perfectionism rarely survives prolonged contact with the real world, and
*Date safely! [g]

@benlayvey….your an A-hole…I didn’t say that to your face. N yet you must still think your hot right? I hate when gays are meen to each other we get enough of that from the “Breeder’s”
Mr.Jones
@benlayvey: @benlayvey: Benlayvey, interesting and constructive comment you offer here. Now, that wouldn’t explain why these men who you say won’t tell me in my face, keep coming back? I accept my body. Do you? I think not sir. Maybe a good look in the mirror, and later on an appt. with a psychologist, would help. Ta-da.
benlayvey
@Mr.Jones: “Ta-da”? What are you? 12? besides you misread that, I didn’t mean that in a disrespectful manner. I was in sympathy with your comment. Sorry if that came across wrongly.
