Why can't people tell the difference between Man boobs (moobs) and Pecs?
Annoys me. My skinny friends keep saying I go gym all the time, but I still have 'Man boobs'. I'm like 12% body fat.
Anyone else get this ****?

Sorry brah, don't have any.
Last night my friends said to some girls, "help me settle an arguement, does my bud here have man boobs?" then they grabbed my chest and one said, "no, that's muscle"
Was an epic 'in your face' moment!

Well, those who don't know the difference are either not educated on the subject or are viewing it as something to be negative about. Either way, if it bothers you, it shouldn't. Just do what it takes to lose the man boobs, if that is the case, or if you have pecs, dont worry about it. I am sure there are things about people's lives that you judge, just like we all do, that you don't completely understand. Take heed.

Sound advice, repped.
My friends bust my balls all the time, trying to put me down. I just think they're jealous.

They probably are, but need not worry. Each to their own.

I'd bet A LOT of money that 1/3 of the population thinks that the human body only has muscles in its arms.
People are retarded as **** when it comes to lifting, they'll say that some 160lbs 5'10 guys at 15% BF is huge.

That's cuz they don't have **** and never been to the gym so that's the only way to make themselves feel better. No offense to them though.

They're probably pissed that they can't put on any muscle mass and give you a hard time for it. People are like that.

Your friends are jealous they don't have muscle and "pecs." Don't let that s*** bother you... My friends give me crap about all the protein and clean dieting, but they are either sticks or fat linemen so it is w/e.

One of my friends calls me a fatass every time I have to eat, it's quite comical cause we're both pretty in shape. If they think it's fat I just do the pec dance, solves that issue.
