Aight, I’m not seeking some thesis-long Biological explanation just so you know. It’s just pretty amusing as to why ’em guys actually possess them.
Okay, so let’s get analytical. I did a mini Q&A session with ma’ boys & gurls :
[i][c=4]Victoria [/c][/i] says:
for the milk to come out? LOL
– MICHAEL YIP – says:
Girl Nipple produce milk (rofl mike. i didn’t know nipples have genders!)
i’m C e D says:
nipples… hmm… so that a mother would know where to begin breastfeeding her baby?
Veneez♥ says:
hm. it doesnt do anything except being the only way for a woman to breast feed lo
[Ass-a-nation] YingYang – | Te amo says:
MILK lah
[ ms. YiLing ] 頑張ります ! says:
for guys i’ve no idea. for girls it’s for milk suckling from the child i guess?
[N!g3L] says:
to produce mom milk for baby?
So.. WHY do men need nipples?
The book fair was just insane.
Imagine lining up for a whole hour just to purchase the books you’ve picked out. Goodness me, I reckon the queue was at least 200m long, if not more.
ALL JUST FOR THE SAKE OF BOOKS?
No offence to the bookworms out there though.
Because I fully understand that not all reading material are made up of only textbooks, encyclopedias, dictionaries and the like… or definitely not this :

The History of William Shakespeare.
Hey, if you’ve lived a life as deep as this fella, you’d prolly have a biography about yourself as thick as a rhino’s skin.
Books are pretty damn awesome, if I have to say so myself. A few books there actually caught my eye! Both, titles and designs.
Okay honestly, I’m a sucker for artsy book cover designs. So to all the publishing houses : if you want an extra customer, then funk up your book cover and I’ll buy it regardless of whether or not the story is good. ROFL
I remember BestieBenj and I often hit Borders to check out awesome books, back in my Penang days. He has a fancy for those silly books like ‘101 things to do before you die’ or ‘How to survive a zombie attack’. Then again, he would always take me to the culinary section full of
fab books like this –
Oh look! Another artsy book –
Whee! That’s what I’m talking about yo :

Okay I’ve finally decided what to do for my 3rd tattoo already.
Yeah I’m known to be very fickle. Heh.
Ima happy gurl as usual after a shopping haul of … books. Hey, at least I don’t feel so bad having spent all those money. After all, books are -cough- intellectual and food for thought, no?
edit : a dear reader of mine Jhnhth, referred me to Scientific America, and it turns out that after a complex explanation, I’ve gathered that the answer to why do men have nipples is merely this –
and
“simply because women do”
Cough cough… I am guessing you haven’t start reading any of them right? XP
Stephen, I find that helpful. I’m promtped to consider, as a little experiment, problematization in terms of emergence’ ( Nietzsche, Gnlgy, Hist 1971).Can we say that problematization aims to trace the emergence of sites of knowledge-power-ethics in which problems and their corollary conditions for possible solutions come into focus and are eventually stabilized? This would suggest that the object of the inquiry is not always a fully coagulated/crystallized field in which expertise is already stabilized. Rather, the inquiry concerns precisely that fuzzy and murky transition from one situation into another in which the latter situation displays a different configuration of problems and solutions.This suggests (a point which I would want to defend conceptually’ too) that the line between a situation where expertise already exists and one where it decidedly does not yet exist is never stable and not always clear and distinct. Isn’t the object of inquiry in a problematization precisely this grey ambiguous space where the line is warping, indistinct, and changing?This leads me to a straightforward factual question: are you all, in your various anthropological inquiries, interested in the process whereby a situation is transformed from one where a certain mode of expertise does not exist into one where this mode of expertise does exist? Is that one form of what a study of the emergence of biopower’ or vital security’ or synthetic biology ethics and equipment’ might be? For my own (historical) inquiries into the emergence of the liberal public versus private’ opposition in the late 19c. and early 20c., I think this a fair characterization, although I am a little wary about the term expertise’ in this case and would more favor discursive dominance’. Of course, not all inquiries are identical, even at a general level, and I wouldn’t want to generalize by abstracting the wrong elements.
CELAKAAAAAAAAAAAA ahaahah u know me too well. >_< /smacks
Zomg. Perfume. One of the most awesome books evaaaar. Have you seen the movie ? Love it ^^

OMGGGG! BOOKSSS!

LOL THAT’S A WHOLE LOAD OF BOOKIES . 😮
guys have nipples simply because they do not give us any disadvantage.
from the theory of evolution (ohhhnoooo), survival of the fittest occurs.. so beings with advantages in relation to the surroundings survive and those with disadvantages die off. Nipples didn’t give men any disadvantage so they stayed with us throughout the years lol..
thats what i think 🙂
That’s a lotta books you’ve got there – what’s the first one you’re gonna read (after the Kama Sutra)?
probably long long time ago men’s nipples are actually functional, just that with evolution women took over the role of breastfeeding exclusively. Just like the chickens probably can fly in the sky last time LOL
Oh, I forgot to ask – What have you decided to do for your third tattoo?
Notice I’m staying away from the nipples (wait, that doesn’t sound right), only because you specifically said you don’t want a thesis-long biological explanation – and really, thesis-long explanations happen to be my specialty. But if you want the real answer, it’s here:

Enjoy your books!

During my previous movie session with Jordan I replied Kama Sutra randomly when he said Karma =X
Few days later he sms me writting Kamasutra just because he thought of Karma randomly WTF LOL

re: your tattoo – barbed wire and little roses sound great – and suited to your character (though in truth my guess is that you’re more roses than barbed wire… but what do I know?)
You said you have two other tattoos – I see the one on the back of your left shoulder, but I can’t make out what it is. What about the other one? Would you show us pix of your ink sometime?
Thanks!
MmmmNmmmmMmmm.
Sorry that I’m late,but scientifically why do guys have nipples is because of the chromosomes where everyone is born as a girl yada yada. But techinically,guys still need to get horny like girls do. LOL.
But not bad,you still can spot karma sutra among so many books eh!
Yenniedoll yeah I love it too! So funky right? SOme ppl can be just so creative 🙂 and ahahaha mebbe he naturally pulls an out-of-this-world face that’s why. LOL
jhnhth aww that’s sweet! 🙂 heee. well yeah, on the outside im all barbed wire, but deep down im just gurl at heart – hence the roses. and yeah sure! Good idea! Will be coming up in one of my next posts *hugs*
YingZi ahaahhaah everyone is born as a gurl? Wow! 😀 I didn’t kno that. Hee. And LOL such a tiny book amongst everything else but still packs huge attention! 😛
