User post: Flaws Men Fret About

Hey Guys! Does a receding hairline give you the pre-date jitters? Do those tufts of hair on your traps or a few extra pounds make you too shy to take off your t-shirt? The fact that women are plagued by physical insecurities gets lots of playtime. We read about it in magazines, see it on the news and listen to it at the gym, nail salon and just about anywhere females flock.

But unless you truly know a man, they won't easily open up when it comes to discussing self-perceived physical shortcomings. For the single guy, fretting and obsessing about physical imperfections can lead to anxiety, timidity, and self-doubt, especially when it comes to dating and sexual relating. So the next time you're in doubt, remember that plenty of women find favor in your "flaws," and here's why:

1. Bald Bearers: Moses may have split the seas but it's only because Yul Brenner as Ramses was too busy parting other things. Yup, you got it. Ask any woman and she will tell you that a bald Pharoah on and around her inner thighs is just as good as a hairy headed prophet anytime. And that's not the only reason so many of us love the shaved head look. Men who embrace their baldness seem to exude a sense of strength, confidence, passion and masculinity.

2. Back Hair: Think of it this way, some men prefer a hard wood floor while others have a penchant for carpeting. Women who lust after men with body hair visualize that they will be more primitive and carnal in the bedroom. So before you let anyone convince you to become smooth-like-a-mannequin, remember that there are plenty of women who crave a man in raw form.

3. Skin Imperfections: May West said is best! "A man has more character in his face at forty than at twenty--he has suffered longer". Just like the 1930's sex icon, many women would rather see a face with character rather than a perfect specimen. Facial scars reveal a man who is vulnerable yet equally dangerous and wild while the lines that come with age are often associated with experience, maturity and wisdom.

    I'm glad people aren't condemning men that happen to have anything of these three physical traits. There's absolutely nothing wrong with any of these. Bald is beautiful, I love my men hairy, and skin perfections don't bother me at all since we all have them. Thanks for the article. We need more of these positive posts about men's looks instead of just the same drivel focusing on penis size. That's all the authors seem to be concerned about.

    I love a guy no matter what he looks like so any guy that loves me with all my flaws deserves to be loved and cherised forever. *That* is when you know he's a keeper. ;)

    Oh a guy who waxes his chest is so GROSS to me, there's nothing worse than an overly vain, too well manicured men. Guys, just shave and shower daily, and brush your teeth, and find a women who loves you for your hair-in-all-the-wrong-places self. Theres nothing sexier than a guy who's cool just being him.

    I like guys in all shapes and sizes, hair, no hair, long, short, fuzzy and clean, scars, lines, moles and birthmarks, you name it. If he's a good guy it doesn't matter what he looks like anywhere on his body.

    My husband shaved his head because he was balding by age 20. I actually love the look on him because he shows more confidence not being worried about his looks. It took some getting used to for me, but now it's great! I also love his hairy chest, and while I am not a fan of any hair on a man's back, my husband has it and I am indifferent to it now. As for skin imperfections, I have some acne scarring and a few stretch marks so I have no room to judge my husbands imperfections. my husband likes that we look normal and human, not too perfect and fake.

    LOL - my BF is really 2 of 3 here. He shaves his head (partially due to a receding hair line) - but I LOVE LOVE it, one of the things that caught my attention about him. And the back hair, he hates and it uncomfortable so he waxes it, which is what HE needs to feel better, but never bothered me. He does have a nice full chest of hair too & I love it - that HAS to stay. :)

    I love men that do maintain their looks, not looking for perfection, we all have flaws and sometimes those flaws are the same reason i took notice in them, if you take pride in yourself and how you look you will do the feel the same way towards your partner, i find some baldheaded man sexy ....

    It's good to see women supporting men. I have #2 on the list, not a lot, but noticeable all over, and I shave my head, not because I am balding, just because I want to. My wife loves me for me and would not change anything about me, but that still does not help us with insecurities. I can go shirtless around her, but in public you can forget about it. Most people make fun of you and stare. It is very uncomfortable to say the least. I am glad there are women out there besides my wife that don't care about these things. There is hope for other guys like me to get a good women that loves them for them and not something else, like money.

    Fascinating article! Baldness has never bothered me, and considering at age 31 I still struggle with acne sometimes, I certainly would never judge a man on his skin. I admit that I am NOT a fan of chest or back hair, but it's certainly not a deal breaker if he's a nice guy who treats me well.
