Just had a weird thought this morning. Humans are the only mammals where the males as well as the females have nipples. Look at your dog, cat, a whale, a mouse, a cow, a sheep, whatever, none of the males have nipples. Since nipples only serve the biological function of providing milk to a newborn and males have no milk glands in the chest, why on earth do we men have nipples? I've never understood that.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Why do men have nipples?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
The answer is that as embryos men and women have similar tissues and body parts. If anything the embryo follows a 'female template'. That is why nipples are present in both sexes. It is the effect of the genes, the Y chromosome and the hormone testosterone that brings about the changes and masculinises the embryo. Testosterone promotes the growth of the penis and testicles. Because nipples are there before this process begins the nipples stay!
A certain level of the female hormone estrogen is present in all men. If, as a result of disease or a condition affecting hormones, breast tissue in men can grow (gynecomastia- abnormal enlargement of breasts,) and men can produce milk.

We are all chipped from the same rock.
If there is a way to simplify, Mother Nature will.
Ovaries and testicles are identical early on.
Why is it men's and women's *******s are the same?
It's cause Mother Nature is efficient and doesn't create redundant equipment.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Vestigial organs. You don't need 'em, but chicks dig 'em.

Male chimps have nipples.
Duo/DJ damage were right.Rollo Tomassi said:
Nipples in male humans isn't an example of a vestigial "organ", because a vestigial organ is an organ that once had a purpose, or function, from an evolutionary point of view, but no longer does today (or has a very reduced function) though the structure itself remains. Examples in humans include the appendix and coccyx.

You didn't look very close! ALL male mammals have nipples. My male cat has nipples and my male dog had nipples. They are much smaller and do not function, but they are there.speakeasy said:
