“The Tummy Pouch”: 45 Things Women Are Often Insecure About That Men Don’t Care About At All

I appreciate OP's last sentence. So many people think it can be controlled.

Another better out than in situation 💨

It's not all "older" ladies. I started getting greys by 30. I now have a Rogue style gray patch one side of my bangs, with a few light peppered around my head that isn't as noticeable.

Just the whole "ladylike" mentality is burden on us women. I hate that phrase with a solid passion.

Excellent way of thinking. She deserves you, and you deserve her.

I wish men would understand that the way we feel about our bodies isn't always about us being worried about a man's opinion, or anyone's for that matter. Sometimes it's us really not happy with how we feel in our clothes. It doesn't make me feel s**y when I'm constantly having to pull my pants up because my boxy hips don't hold them up, even with a belt. So I have to tighten that belt up very tight, so it's digging into my stomach. Then my underwear is also slipping and settles into the fold of my buldgy pelvis that has been there since after I gave birth. That's pretty much the only spot I fear others will talk about, because people may think I have man parts. Other than that, it's all about how I feel in my skin. If we don't feel good in our skin, your compliments and obvious attempts to make us feel better only goes as far as reminding us you don't care what it looks like to you and that our concerns are not valid.

Any women I've come across does their nails and eyelashes for themselves. We don't do it for guys and that should be okay. In fact, I love it when my guy asks to see my nails when he finds out I got them done and says "They gorgeous".

It can be indicative of someone who is TOO concerned with their appearance rather than their personality.

Not necessary true. I love to colour my nails (but hate long ones). Not for guys, I just like to have those mini colourful accents.

I don't mind if woman does their nails but long fake eyelashes is a big no for me.

And many men find perfume nauseating. We much prefer the natural scent of a woman. We really don't mind sweat odor.

All people should feel like this - but how often do we read on here about a man hating his partner's post baby body & either criticizing, shaming or cheating because she doesn't match his ideals any more.

Having seen homes in conditions of both ends of the cleanliness to filthiest spectrums, you could have the the cleanest home and people will be just as uncomfortable to visit as the messiest home. The reason? A very immaculate home suggests there are many rules, perhaps unwritten rules, all must follow to maintain pristineness that leaves guests wondering if it's good idea to sit on the couch, where to put throw pillows and where to rest their drinks. People will not accept invitations for repeat visits, as the first time left them with anxiety. A clean-obsessed person is unlikely to be invited to other's homes for fear of judgement. Messy homes that are not necessarily filthy, just unorganized, make people feel more secure and related that they don't feel so unsure to sit on the couch, place the pillows down on the floor and chill out without the risk of offending the host. There's no need to explain the problem of extremely filthy homes.

Befor covid I wouldn't go the local shop without a full face of makeup and since stopping wearing make up I feel free and just as confident as I did with makeup

To be fair, I'm a guy and I got squeamish reading that last paragraph.

You laugh. You snort. Then you laugh because you snorted. Perfect.

i was bullied for having small b00bs when i was younger. never cared haha it's easier, my back doesn't hurt, i don't need to wear bras...

Wtf hasn't gotten pimples in their life?

Isn't that dangerous? I don't think the sneezing shame is limited to just men doing it to women. A girl in my Home Ec. class made a big sneeze. Our female teacher immediately raised her eyebrows and says "Was that really necessary?" To this day, I've observed other's reactions to big sneezed from women, and still have witnessed other women making a big stink out of it. Never men.

What are "bingo wings"? Is that like love handles?

I don't think I ever have dressed "right" for anywhere. I'm most comfortable casually dressed. The day is too short and events go by too quickly to spend a lot money and time to look fancy.

As long as we get to play with them, we're good. Are they attached to you? Then we love them.

Clothes don't need as much washing as we think they do. Except for underwear. As long as you're not sweating up a storm and keeping up with hygiene, and haven't spilled food on your clothes, they should be good to go.

If someone is petty enough to pass you over because you have scars, they were never worth your time.

This is purely a media driven insecurity to sell... whatever it is we're supposed to buy to fix an non-issue with ourselves.

The older I get, the more I can actually hear myself snore. It's wild.

uhuuu no way

It's because we have a uterus. It's completely unrealistic and impossible for a women to just get rid of the pouch.

There's always a box of matches in my bathroom. Lighting a match helps to mask odours

My girlfriend in college claimed to be 5'8" because she didn't think being tall was feminine. When pressed, she's admit to 5'10". A photo with us together shows her coming up to the bottom of my ear - I was 6'4" and she was in flats, so she was about 6' tall. Apparently she's gotten over this, because she married a guy she towers over.

Don't forget snorting when they laugh. My first wife was mortified when she laughed and a snort would sound. I would try to keep her laughing so she would snort again. It was cute and funny.

The larger the shoes size for women, the harder it is to find her size for affordable shoes.

Pheromones are a real thing!

Any age you get to is something to be proud of. The older you get the more at risk you are of dying, and not a lot of people make it to old age.

I have a Roman nose, it's very big and years ago as a kids other kids would tell me my nose was huge and I would agree and it would pìss them off

I've never gotten why this was so bad.

Most women look better wearing glasses. IMO.

I hate having my picture taken. I'm most comfortable behind the camera than in front. I hate the way I look and I'm always picking apart my flaws and always think I could stand to lose another 20 pounds.

Adding, leg hair, underarm hair, etc... Really doesn't matter.

A guy who does is obsessed with p**n and not looking for a committed relationship. The guys who demand it, I mean.

In the early aughties, apparently VPL (visible panty line) was T H E D E V I L. Whatever. VPL is s**y. NPL (no panty lines)? Also s**y? Look, y'all are s**y, period.

As a British person, we have a special squeak that we let out when we push a door that's actually a pull and then end up walking into it. And, of course, tutting, the universal "you cretin!" noise.

I look like a trailer park gal who just got arrested for stealing from the Walmart, because I thought my curly hair would look pretty in a half ponytail in front faced photo. Which reminds me that I have to renew mine ... this coming month. Nearly forgot.

I love those beautiful, natural nails!!!

*endearing. Bad spelling and grammar are not!

What if we just stop shaving for life, instead of a few extra days?

I have never heard of men say anything negative about messy buns.

This is in bad taste in some cultures. For other people it's not a big deal.

What? What am I missing here? Why would this be embarrassing?
