Men how do you deal with body insecurities?

I am currently talking to a guy but he has insecurities. He doesn't love himself even though I find him really attractive and I tell him every time I have the chance to do so. The problem is that even though he doesn't care what others think of him, he is his own enemy. He picks on himself of every part of his body. He says he needs someone but I don't understand what he means by that. We were wanting to date but we had a set back and are slowly gaining trust and confidence together. I dealt with my insecurities alone so I really don't know what to tell him or how to be there for him.

Talking is key, this could be a really good way to connect if done right, you need to be careful though patience is key, it’s easy to think this can be sorted in an hour but his problem has roots and need to be dug up. Also you’re not trained to deal with this sort of thing. Going to the gym helps but it’s also a coping mechanism those roots haven’t moved. Maybe he should see a therapist, where I’m from you can get your sessions paid for up to 9 a year. More if you have a good health insurance. Hope he gets his stuff sorted ✌️

Just give him some time. He has probably felt negatively about himself for his whole life, so the concept of someone else finding him attractive is going to take some time to make sense for him. Just be a bit patient, and he’ll eventually get so comfortable with you, he won’t let his insecurities get the best of him.

This sounds like he has hypospadias that will make you insucure and very hard on yourself and they say they dont care what people think of them but they really do i have it and it is a life long battle with everything especially trust issues

A lot of guys are worried about their size. It's not exactly uncommon.

I don't have any body insecurity, that's for women.
