Why does fat tend to accumulate in the breast area?

Answer:
Because breasts are meant to have fat.
Men don't have breasts. We have chests.
Women have soft fatty breasts.

Mmmmm... This question makes me thirsty for milk.

Hormones. Estrogen is responsible for increased fat accumulation. This is why women carry more fat than men, more specifically in their breasts and hips.

Estrogen. I'm sure you've heard the relation between steroids and men getting large breasts. Your body would carry more estrogen while doing something like that (males).
