One set develops and the other does not. The undeveloped set stays in our body, but is extremely small and only consists of a few cells. Scientists have found them though.

The best way I can think to explain it is, males have all of the genes that can be found in a female, and females have almost all the genes that can be found in a male. (females don't have the genes on the Y chromosome, but there aren't many there anyway)

Your sex does not determine what body parts you get, but how extensively those body parts develop. Girls have a vestigial penis, aka the clitoris. And guys have a vestigial vaginal opening, aka that ridge that runs from the underside of the penis to the back end of the scrotum.

So the short answer: guys have nipples because we have the genes for nipples. And it's a good thing too, because if we didn't, our daughters wouldn't get them.
My friend, I am glad it was you who posted. I am way too innebriated to have researched the proper medical answer and you were very tender to my inexperienced self! Thanks for the correct information!
