Today's Medical Topic: Why do men have nipples?
My Research Today: According to Scientific American nipples in male mammals "illustrate a constrained evolutionary result." A child inherits one copy of every gene from each parent. The difference between the genetic traits inherited between male and female differ based on optimal traits for reproduction.
So genetic traits differ to maximize the potential for reproduction between males and females. Nipples on women are obviously important for reproduction but are vestigial remnants of the genetic trait for men. Men having nipples is a structural and physical by-product of women having nipples.
Simply put: Men have nipples because women do.
