Nov 08, 2018 by apost team

Society has, unfortunately, conditioned men to bottle up their emotions. Men are "supposed" to be the strong silent ones. This stereotype is damaging to everyone. It means that men can act out in unhealthy ways. They haven't been trained on how to process their feelings. These are the top 10 things that men are afraid of - but you'd never know.

Women are pressured to look like Barbie. What you might not think about is how men face pressure to look like Ken. Men are supposed to be super buff. They need to train in the gym all the time. There are unrealistic expectations about beauty for both men and women. Men can be equally self-conscious about their looks.

Another common stereotype is that men are supposed to be the breadwinner. They have to provide for their family. Wealth means you're a "real man." A lot of men's magazines say that girls want to be with a rich man. This is guaranteed to result in a shallow relationship. If all you have in common is money, and how much she loves your money, then there's nothing to build on.

Taller men are considered more masculine because they're literally imposing. A lot of our presidents have been tall. This gives no hope for short guys. There's nothing they can do to add on the inches! Obviously this is completely ridiculous. How tall a man is doesn't make them more of a man.

A man might think of another guy as a threat. They think the other man is out to get their girl. Or it might just be that the guy is more popular or better looking. That sort of talk leads to very low self-esteem.

Male pattern baldness is a real thing. It means that a lot of guys slowly lose their hair over time. That can make a guy feel inadequate if he doesn't have a full head of hair.

If a guy says he's on a diet, people will probably look at him funny. Men care about what they eat just as much as women do. It's just that society finds that less acceptable.

Allow your man to worry. He has healthy concern about your relationship. It's important to let him voice them.

If his girlfriend has had a lot of boyfriends, a man might be worried that he just doesn't measure up (if you know what we mean).

Displaying emotion is seen as weakness. Men are taught to keep that hidden. Allow your man to work through his feelings. Your relationship will be stronger for it.
