23 Insecurities A Lot Of Men Have That Most Women Actually Don’t Care About Shared In This Online Group

Even the most self-confident people have some insecurities—whether it would be about their appearance, personality, or something else in their lives. But the truth is, we are the biggest critics to ourselves. More often than not, other people would never know that you are insecure about something or they wouldn’t see it as a big deal. Social media is full of women sharing their insecurities and sending a message that the things they’re insecure about are normal.

But what about men? They also should be encouraged to not pick themselves apart. Reddit user GorillaS0up asked: “Women of Reddit, what common insecurities do men have about their bodies that women don't actually care about?“ 3.4k women responded and they listed not only insecurities men have about their bodies they don’t really care about, but their insecurities in general. Bored Panda gathered some of the best answers given by redditors. If you would like to add anything else to this list, share your opinions in the comments!

Honestly? Height. If you’re short and have an attitude about it, it’s the attitude that makes you unattractive, not your actual height.

Money. I've seen a few guys try to act like they have money to burn in order to impress their dates (me included) but then not be able to pay the bills at the end of the month. Honestly, I'll take stability and honesty over a fancy dinner any day.

Your body and the likely lack of a sixpack. First of all, i love you for your character, second, it‘s really nice when we cuddle, and it makes me feel better for not having a model-body

Ikr. I personally don't prefer men with sixpacks, I love anyone who is healthy and happy in their body.

Showing their emotions. Turns out a lot of guys can't even cry, because at a young age males are told "boys don't cry" "man up"

I hate when a guy, who's clearly broke to the bone wants to take me out to dinner or buy me something to impress me. I once went out with I guy and I could see in eyes that he was doing mental math... needlessly to say, I took the cheapest everything and ended our suffering. Guys, it is okay if you don't have money atm, as long as you are working/studying and is a hardworking individual with a good personality. STOP trying to impress. Let's just buy a bag of cheetos, sit on the sofa and watch a stupid movie. It'll be okay.

Society has conditioned men to feel inadequate if they cannot impress women by spending money. Even though a lot of women don't mind. Many men find it difficult to unlearn that mentality

Being awkward sometimes or doing something embarrassing. I somehow find this more appealing than guys who never seem embarrassed or are extremely confident.

Same. I'm pretty socially awkward, and I like people who I can relate to, people who aren't afraid to make mistakes and be themselves.

Graying hair. My 32 year old husband is currently freaking out because he has “so many” (it’s not that many), gray hairs. I couldn’t give two s**** lol I think he’s still just as handsome and I really don’t see what the big deal is

What do you think ?

Parmeisan 3 years ago

The sad truth is that plenty of women do care about these things, just like plenty of men care. But the healthy mindset, if you can get there, is to forget about those people and look for someone who wants you as you. Superficial traits are impermanent anyway. Attractiveness is subjective. If you put some effort in, and make yourself an interesting person (ie things that interest you outside of the relationship) then the only thing left is to find the ones who are attracted to YOU.

Any man that's tried online dating knows that there are plenty of women out there who care about all of the things mentioned in the article - they want a 6 ft tall financially secure man with abs and big biceps and perfect skin (just like there are many men that care most about superficial appearance). At least with online dating, it's relatively easy to weed our the women with unrealistic expectations.

There’s nothing sad about that truth. Lots of people have preferences for what they like appearance wise, be it eye colour or body shape. People are entitled to their preference and it doesn’t make them a bad person for having one.

Mewton’s Third Paw 3 years ago

It’s not so much a big deal to “care” on some level but too many people make these things absolute deal breakers and end up missing out. Like acne should not be a reason to end a relationship with someone or not give them a chance. That’s a bit ridiculous. Of course you can’t help it if you are attracted to biceps or whatever but it shouldn’t be so important that you just reject good, compatible men just over something like an exercise routine or whatever.

Plenty certainly care about looks. They claim they don't, then 10 seconds later they're foaming at the mouth over Jason Momoa

Just like women, at the end of the day appearances don't count, What does count is the personality and how you treat people. Be happy with the person you are and don't let others put you down for it! Enjoy life ; )

Appearance does count, but it is not everything. And where great character and personality can often outshadow average appearance, no amount of beauty will make up for being a douche.
