So basically the situation is i have been doing just flat bench, never decline or incline, till after a while i notice that my chest was inproportionate. The middle part of my chest was sticking out so it would look as if i had boobs but they where hard, my friends told me its because i didn't do incline as that helps out the more upper part of your chest to flatten it out. right now im trying to flatten my chest, so it looks even not what i have right now where one part on the chest is bigger than the other. What should i do? advice would be appreciated thanks =).

Perhaps you have gyno? I can't see flat bench causing a huge disproportion in different areas of your chest. The pectoralis is a small muscle group. Whether you're flat, incline, or decline you're still engaging the muscle as a whole. What happens when you change inclines or angles is that you get into stressing the anterior delts and triceps to a less or more degree.
But variety is good. I don't know why you'd neglect alternating movements.

I absolutely agree with Evo. A chest press (whether it's incline, decline, or flat) fires the pectoralis major as a whole. Some activities are better at targeting the pectoralis minor which is sits in the upper chest all beneath the pec major. But by an large, a chest press is a chest press. Just try to balance out your movements a bit more.
well right now , im doing incline and kinda paused flat for a while, im hoping to gain some muscle on the upper part of the chest so it would look even out instead of the way it looks now.
