A man who has grown C cup boobs fears he will never find love - claiming women 'refuse to date a man with bigger breasts than them'.
Ryan Stubbs, who has been single for the past decade, believes his chest is holding him back and says he has been cruelly laughed at when asking girls out.
The factory worker was just eight-years-old when he developed 'man boobs' after gaining weight as a child, which made his years at school an 'absolute hell'.
Ryan was almost 20 stone at his heaviest weight and his chest growing to a C cup, so he hoped to reduce the size of his breasts by losing weight.
The 34-year-old shed eight stone, but was gutted that he still had B cup boobs - and is now fundraising $10,000 for male breast reduction.
Ryan, from Williamsburg, Pennsylvania, US, said: "I've had boobs since I was young. At the biggest they were a C cup, now they're a B.
"The first time a woman was willing to date me was when I was 23. I've been single for ten years. It always goes back to that when I get rejected.
"Right now, I'm 34, never been married, no kids, no girlfriend, I have nothing going for me. It's hard for me not to think that my boobs are holding me back.
"Many times in my life girls have said they can't date a man with bigger boobs than them.
"Trying to talk to girls, they'll laugh at me and say 'I can't date a guy who has bigger t*** than I do'. In high school when I worked up the courage to ask a girl out, some said no and laughed and it was the kind girls who told me why."
Ryan has had four previous girlfriends and even dumped one of them, but said it was because he can only date women he is not attracted to.
He explained: "I've had four girlfriends and the longest relationship was one year. I've always been the one to end the relationship because the only girls I can date are the ones I'm not attracted to.
"If I want to get into a relationship with a girl that I'm not attracted to then I could be in one right now. I've been rejected so much that I avoid putting myself out there."
Ryan says he started struggling with his weight when he was young - and was relentlessly bullied at school because of his breasts.
In 2017 he started shedding the pounds and slimmed down to 12 stone by making big changes to his diet and snacking habits.
Ryan said: "I was tired of being big, I have been ridiculed most of my life. I lost weight because I wanted to become the best version of myself that I can and give myself the best chance I can to be as normal as possible.
"I've been bullied my entire life. School was absolute hell for me. I didn't participate in gym, someone put a sports bra in my locker.
"Every day they yelled at me to wear a sports bra. I've never felt confident in my life, there hasn't been one day where I've felt good about myself. I try to keep positive even in the worst of times.
"The last time I weighed myself before I started losing weight, I was 275lbs [18stone] but I was probably closer to 300lbs [21.4stone] because I stopped weighing myself.
"I'm 175lbs now [12.5stone]. I changed my eating, was smarter. I [previously] worked at a company where we made snack food so I could eat all the free Cheetos I wanted and I was snacking all day
"I've always been heavy, in high school I was 250lbs [nearly 18stone]. I ate the same food as my family and they were all skinny."
Unfortunately, his weight loss meant he was left with huge mounds of excess skin.
Ryan believes that going under the knife would change his life and hopes that after the surgery he'll finally be able to find love.
He has set up a Go Fund me page, which you can donate to here, which he says is because he is "tired of people looking and laughing".
Ryan added: "To get rid of these breasts that I've had since I was eight, I can't say how ecstatic and happy I would be. To be able to look in the mirror and feel content would be amazing. My main goal after having surgery is to find love.
"If I could get more done I would because I've got excess skin."
