The vast majority of people, especially men but women also because the system is stupid, don't even understand how bra sizing works. I mean, looking at me, most people would clock me as a "b cup" or maybe even an "a". But my actual correct (but nigh impossible to find in stores) bra size is either a 28D or a 30C. Most women who have D cups don't line up at all with what men imagine D cups to look like in their minds. Also, my breast shape would matter if I cared about wearing a bra (I don't). Wide base, shallow, full. I never hear them mention shape or position unless they get hit with tuberous breasts (higher incidence of this deformity in men taking cross-sex hormones, apparently).

This man is claiming he's a 32A? Hm, I'm suspicious. He could be a very slender man, but most men aren't going to have a 32 inch ribcage. That is what that number refers to, and even a lot of women's ribcages aren't that small. I get the feeling he's using "32A" as a generic term for "small breasts" while having no clue how bras sizing actually works. Naturally, as a man, he won't bother to learn cause only the base minimum effort is needed to LARP as a woman.

That's what threw me off too.

He could be a very slender man, but most men aren't going to have a 32 inch ribcage.

My husband is a smaller than average guy: 5'9" and about 160 lbs. His ribcage is still bigger than mine.

For that TIM to have a 32" chest, he must be very very small. Like, bottom percentiles for males.
