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!

Dont worry about coming off as nerdy or brainy- ffs plz think for yourself and ENJOY your hobbies. We actually dig someone with passion and honestly being able to hold conversation with depth is delicious. Extra points on sarcasm, wit and humor.

when i was younger i didn't really tell stuff i love because you don't want to make fun at. but at 45 i have no shame to wear nerdy and geek t-shirt, play lego, play videogames, watch anime, read manga. when you're older you don't care about others opinion. that's one thing i try to always told my kids. F**k those who think the thing you love are stupid.

This! So much this. I'm still not telling everyone what my passions are, but I'm getting a lot more open and it's amazing! my brothers ex-gf was trying to transform him into someone who doesn't display his Lego Millenium Falcon or his other geeky SciFi-stuff, and when I noticed that, I knew that relationship wouldn't last. I like her - she's a good person, but just not the right one for my brother. the one he has now, though, is probably perfect. (Brother is nearly 40, btw ;-) )

My current SO was hesitant to tell me that he was playing D&D when we first started dating. He kept calling it 'game night' at a friends. I asked him what he was playing one night when I called him and he hesitantly finally said what it was. I said "oh yeah, I used to love to play D&D with some people back when it was 2nd edition" and he was floored. I don't know why guys seem to think that no women ever like RPGs.

    Not all girls care about height, but so many online dating profiles list a minimum height, it's a preference that doesn't make a lot of sense, like why does a 5'2" girl *need* a man that's 6 ft+?

    Only very shallow women are concerned about height, looks and having money. Most of us only care about the personality. I mean sure initial attraction is important, but it takes far more than attraction for a relationship to be lasting.

I have a list of celebrities - Michael J.Fox, David Spade, Seth Green, Johnny Galecki, James McAvoy (a little tall at 5'7), Kevin Hart, Jet Li (with those smoldering eyes), Aziz Ansari, Jonah Hill, Dustin Hoffman, Martin Short (it's right there in his name!) Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Cuba Gooding Jr., the late Dudley Moore, Chris Rock, Richard Dreyfuss, Ken Jeong......

    There are definitely some women who aren't into shorter guys, who automatically rule them out, but also plenty that just don't care. I'm a taller woman. I've dated short guys that didn't care about my height just like I didn't care about theirs. There are some men who do mind, though, and would never consider dating a woman my height. I'm just not going to be every man's thing. I can't waste my time worrying about it. That's true of all sorts of human features. There's going to be some people that don't like it, whatever it is. Having a bad attitude about it will turn people off who would be into you otherwise.

    I dated a guy who was 4'11" - i'm 5'4". He had this bigger than life attitude, but in a good way and that made him so hot. The height difference was irrelevent. Although, I found it a little awkward to kiss at first :)

    When petty women stop calling short men "little boys", then short men will stop getting a defensive attitude about their height. It's only a small subset of women, but it takes only one to kill a man's self-esteem.

    I've had dates be offended because I offered to halve the bill, and they insist on paying it all. I've also had dates where I paid the full bill because I knew the guy was usually pretty low on funds. Those guys always had a handful of stories about past women who blew them off because they didn't have more money.

And FFS, don't leave 10 hairs on top of your head, if you're balding, go for it and shave. And what's with the balding guys and pony tails? You look ridiculous.

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.

    It's about being a provider. A man with money and a decent car would rather drive his girlfriend/wife/other to the restaurant rather than pay for a taxi, even if it's well within his means, because he is providing the transportation. Money certainly helps project that image, but even being comfortably well off won't prevent some men choosing the provider option, instead of the throw money at it option.

    You don't have to have a lot of money to be romantic and thoughtful - make a picnic and eat in the park, bring her a bunch of flowers you picked from hedgerows or your garden. Invite her to something you do that's free - build sandcastles, take a walk in the park, go to a gallery or museum, volunteer at a beach clean up or an animal shelter, bird watching - invite her to share something you love or find inspiring. Ask what she likes to do, or wants to try - and if you can join her. Much more special and memorable than just another dinner out.

    Downvote this if you wish, but I believe that there are things in life that are worth more than money. While money [supposedly] keeps folks afloat–so does the love, time and commitment you are able to spend with your s/o.

    Nah. If (most) women ask for confidence, they don't mean confident in every single situation, they mean confident as in not hiding your interests and personality, not feeling guilty if you lack experience, and not acting like the people you interact with are going to give you marks for your performance. In fact, it takes some confidence to embrace the awkwardness when you encounter a completely new situation.

    Excess weight. Of course, we are not talking about the final stage of obesity, when the weight prevents the guy from functioning normally, but 10-15 kg (sorry, I can not correctly translate into pounds). Big men with excess weight seem to me like big bears, behind which you want to hide and snuggle tightly.

    My husband is way too worried about how big his biceps are. He was a really skinny kid (our son is the same way) so I think he always just wanted to be the big tough guy. Well now he’s got muscles and he’s constantly asking me what I think off them. I mean dude I’m into you no matter what size your biceps. Like contractually obligated for the past fifteen years I’m not going anywhere even if you can’t lift heavy things.

    My husband has made comments about his nose being big before and I honestly didn't notice til he said it. But I think it's because most of his features are big. He has a heavy brow and a wide mouth. If his nose were smaller, it would probably look strange.

    My brother hates feet. He absolutely flips out if you rest your feet on a footrest or coffee table. Doesn’t want to see them, be near them, or anything like that. Lol

    Please have personal hygiene- wash your feet, trim your toenails- but most feet are pretty ugl tbh. I mean I don't really look at feet and go "wow what wonderful feet" ya know?? Feet are generally not pretty, but ffs do not let them get gross.

    Yeah, you heard

    Could care less = you actually *do* care. ...... Couldn't care less = you don't care.

    Yeah but (this goes for women as well) if the feet are really disgusting that would be a dealbreaker for me.

    I have Hobbit feet, but I take good care of 'em; that's what matters.

    I do like good looking feetsies. But, if you have "ugly" feet as long as they work, who cares.

    I truly don't care about acne. My boyfriend is really insecure about it but I don't mind it and he looks pretty cute with it.
