#1: Your Body
Recently there’s been a big movement to “empower” women against the unrealistic body expectations that our society has placed upon them….
And while that is an important issue, it’s important to realize that men have body image issues of our own.
Men’s health magazines, popular movies, and your Instagram feed are all full of jacked dudes with beautiful women hanging off their shoulders. Put simply: having a lean, muscular body is something that every man feels pressured to achieve.
So when you look in the mirror, and perceive yourself as chubby or scrawny, it’s only natural to feel like a “failure.” You know that having a ripped body is something that other men respect, and that women find attractive….
And when you’re not living up to this ideal body image, it really fucking hurts.
Other than following the three steps at the bottom of this article, the best thing to do is get on a solid workout routine and be consistent.
#2: Your Hair
Having a full head of hair is a sign of youthfulness and virility, so it’s only normal to feel insecure when you begin to bald (especially if it’s at a younger age).
Luckily this isn’t a problem I deal with personally, but I know how painful it can be from living with friends and family members who are balding.
You get hyper-focused on your hairline every time you see your reflection. You can’t appreciate the things that make you attractive, because the only thing you notice is your lack of hair.
All of this will slowly but surely eat away at your self-confidence, as you begin to compare yourself to other men based on your hair, rather than your other physical qualities, your style, or what you actually do in life.
Other than following the three steps at the bottom of this article, the best thing to do is shave your head and improve your other physical attributes (fitness, style, etc.).
