While I&#8217;ve already started saving for the booby lift\u00a0I&#8217;ll inevitably need\u00a0one day\u00a0(can you imagine what these now C-cups will look like after popping out a few kids!?), I always envied guys for not having to worry about\u00a0their chest protrusions. We&#8217;re supposed to be the vain, self-conscious sex, and I can&#8217;t figure out if it&#8217;s comforting or just plain weird that guys have the same insecurities.<span id=\"more-52894\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Much like mullets, fanny packs, and jorts, I guess moobs are a<span style=\"text-decoration:line-through;\">n eyesore<\/span> trend I&#8217;d be happy to see less of.

And if a little moob reduction is what it takes, then I say bring it on!<\/p>\n<p>But maybe we can make everyone happy and save some of the leftovers for some of our flat-chested lady friends?
