Guys never seem to don't bitch and moan about their bods the way girls do, but why are they SO private about their insecurities ? Are guys, amongst guys, not allowed to be insecure ?

Honey, us men are like wolves, when you smell blood or weakness in the pack. You devour it. It's just the nature of the business. I could have f***ing cancer for 50 years before I would tell any of my friends. Pride is the downfall of man. His fallacy and his legacy.

Guys talk to other guys in stupid-man-talk usually. If the insecurity is around girls, and it has to do with the girl in question, he probably just doesn't want to mess up.

Brill question . Guys don't really go to other guys and worry about their bodies - instead, they do it about their girlfriend's latest quirk (sorry, but with guys I know, that's the truth) or what their boss made them do or something like that . It's never really about us . Sure, we might not like something about ourselves, but we're more likely to complain to our own minds rather than our girlfriends or guy friends . Are we not allowed to be insecure ? I'm sure there's no law against it, but it is rather unusual . It just doesn't really happen . It makes us think that we're weird or something like that .

Yup - girls are allowed to be be insecure - if a guy is, society teaches us to think he is weak, and therefore, undesirable.

Guys don't go up to their buddies and say . I feel fat and ugly today . They go up to their guys and say "I don't get it, my girl told me she feels fat and ugly today, but I think she is so beautiful" and then the buddy goes "Yeah, she is HOT I would do her" Then the guy goes "Jackass ! " lol

Insecurities are a man's Achilles heel and we don't tend to share them on the count that a) it will expose our soft spots, b) it will make us appear to be a lesser man, c) and strong are not supposed to lay their worry on other people - we are supposed to be pillars of strength

As for our bodies, we may not like certain aspects, but I doubt that too many men spend too much time worrying about it . After all, we are solution solvers and we know that if we don't like something we need to exercise or eat properly and that takes effort . We'd rather put the effort into loving our girlfriends and wives and making sure they are happy . :)

Guys are insecure about parts of their body . But we aren't as concerned with our bodies as girls are . Girls are insecure about their dicks, their hair if they're balding, and then anything wrong with their face . That's pretty much about it .

ionlife Did you mean guys ? - 9 months ago
Answerer Lol I did mean guys, thanks, ha ha . It's way past my bedtime . But if you wanna see how guys and girls compare with insecurities, take this one word, "cellulite . " How often do girls think of that word versus girls . Guys NEVER think about it . And I'm sure the common girl thinks about it at least 5 days out of the week . (Ok that might be a stretch, but you get the idea) - 9 months ago
