Penis Size – And 4 Other Things He’s Secretly Self Conscious About

By loveandsex

Penis size is only one of the things guys are secretly self conscious about. What else is he worrying about that he’s not telling you?

There are a lot of things that women are self conscious about. Having smaller breasts or a little extra weight is enough to send some women over the edge. But there are a lot of things that men are self conscious about. Men are just as insecure about certain aspects of their body; they’re just a little better at hiding it.

Men have a way of showing confidence even when they are not confident. A guy can know that he’s not the smartest, tallest or most well endowed guy in the room, but he can still make women swoon. Here are some of the things that he’s secretly self-conscious about.

1. Height

Hollywood has trained women to think that a guy is not worth it unless he’s 6’1. If you have ever heard of the Napoleon Complex, then you know the kind of guy that is secretly self-conscious about his height. Height is a sign of dominance. When a guy is taller than other men, there is a perception that he is better than other men.

While most women know that this simply isn’t true, guys can be very self-conscious about their height. A guy that is not even average height certainly will not have any problems finding a girl that is shorter than him, but he might find it hard to have the confidence to approach her. Most women are between 5’3 and 5’7. This leaves a lot of options to guys that are 5’7-5’8 and even guys that are only 5’5, but height is a key factor to confidence.

2. Hairlines

While height is an indication of dominance, hair can be an indication of youth. When a guy starts to lose his hair, it’s a sign that he’s getting older. This symptom of mortality is enough to send any guy into a tailspin. If you have ever met a guy with a receding hairline, you probably know the self-conscious means of hiding it.

Hats are fairly common with guys who are losing their hair. Wacky haircuts to hide the fact that they are going bald are also a key factor. If the guy is loosing his hair and he’s in his 20’s, you are going to find him extra sensitive about this subject. If you ever meet a guy that is losing his hair, try to stay off the subject.

3. Weight

Weight can be a factor for guys, but it’s much more a factor for women. Although guys have been romanticized with six pack abs and bulging muscles, a little weight might not affect them that much. If the guy is very overweight he could be self conscious about it. Weight is such an issue with all people that it can negatively affect confidence levels and self-image.

If your last boyfriend was in great shape and your new boyfriend has a little pudge, it’s only natural for him to feel self conscious about it. Talk to your guy about his weight and see if there is something that you can to help him out. Simple diets and exercise can go a long way in transforming a body.

4. Body Hair

Excessive hair is an extreme turn off to most women. Having a hairy back is not something that screams sex appeal. Most guys that have hairy backs suck it up and head to a salon to have it waxed off. When the summer hits everybody likes to head to the pool, beach or lake to relax. This can be a nightmare for guys that have hair in places that it shouldn’t be. If you have ever met a guy with a hairy back, you probably know the signs. He is hesitant to take his shirt off or avoids situations where a shirt should not be present.

5. Penis Size

By far the most common thing that men are self conscious about is their penis size. The penis is not like other organs. Although there are pills, exercises and ridiculous penis pumps, most men fret over their penis even when it is of average penis size. The signs are fairly clear. Most men will avoid sexual contact with women if they have small penis or constantly bombard them with questions about previous lovers.

One way to reassure a man is to tell them that the sex is good – even great. We all know that you don’t have to have a huge penis size to satisfy a woman and there are positions that will give deeper penetration for smaller penises. Informing your partner that you are happy with them and your sex life is essential to instilling confidence in their abilities and penis size.

11 Things You Should NEVER Say To A Guy

By dicksinthecity

Women talk, a lot! I think we speak 5x as many words as guys and I guarantee that guys do not even hear or notice or process 1/4 of the words we say. That being said, since women do love to talk, there are some things you should never say to your man.

Here are the Top 11 Things You Should Never Say To A Guy

#1 Another Mans Name In Bed

Unless that name is God or Jesus, do not speak of any other men. Never good. And it’s worse if you say the name of an
ex.

Now, there may be a time when you slip up and do accidentally say another guys name, if this happens try your best to cover it up. Hopefully, the names rhyme. IN other words, lets pretend you say the name “Sean” and just happen to be sleeping with a guy named “John”. That can easily be fixed by swearing you said the right name. If you think getting the right name will be a problem then just stick to moaning and saying “yes”.

#2 “Your Best Friend/Brother/Waiter Is Hotter Than You”

Guys do not take this as personally as women do. But it is still a blow to his ego even if you are joking. There is no reason to make him feel bad about himself. Even if it is true. If you happen to mention another guy looks hot, do not admit that they are hotter than your own man. Make sure your guy knows you love him and all his body parts.

#3 My Cat Is My Best Friend

In fact go ahead and leave out any mention of a cat, or stuffed animal. You might think it is adorable, he on the other hand does not. Also do your best to hide any said animals. If you are super attached to a pet or stuffed animal and he seems ok with it, great.

That being said do not talk “baby talk” to your pet or toy when your man is in the room. Also, do not dress your pet up in outfits nor call your pet a stupid name aka anything with Mr. or Miss.

#4 “I’ve Had Better/Seen Bigger”

There is a really good chance you have had better sex and seen a bigger dick but there is nothing he can do about
that plus it makes you sound like a whore. If you enjoy sex with your man then great, there is no need to mention past penises or lays. And when you get mad at your guy never use his sack skills as fighting material. Leave him with some pride.

#5 “In College I Slept With The Football Team”

Ok maybe it wasn’t the whole team but if your number of sex partners is twice your age, it’s best to fib a little bit here. Nothing wrong with dropping a good 10-20 off your number. Not saying you shouldn’t be proud, but keep it to yourself. WE live
in a society that has gross double standards but it is true, women that have a lot of partners are seen as sluts and guys are seen as studs. I think it has something to do with the fact that women can always get laid and guys have to work at it.

#6 “My Ex Did This Thing In Bed…”

Never ever bring up your ex especially if it had something to do with his mad sex skills.

The thing is, you are with a new guy now and there is no reason to destroy his confidence by bringing up other dudes. Now if there is a cetain move you wish your guy would do to you then just lie and say you read it in a magazine. Even though that “magazine” was the past sexual romps you had before your guy.

#7 “You Are Such An Idiot…”

Whether you just started dating or have been dating for a while never call your guy names or talk down to him. This sort of thing is super emasculating and no guy deserves to be put down by the girl he likes. Never attack him personally or upset his pride no matter how mad he makes you.

#8 “We Need To Talk”

This sentence never ever ends well so unless you are deciding to break up, don’t ever say this! If you are deciding to break up, then by all means say this. And feel free to say the other 7 things written above. BUT, only if it is truly over!

#9 I Am Looking For A Relationship That Leads Mo marriage

This will make you seem like a chick who’s just decided it’s time to get married and make babies and all you need is some poor bastard to plug into your fairy tale formula. Never ever say this to a guy.

#10 “I Like Successful Men”

Or “I only date successful men”. This means “I am a gold digger.”

You might as well put an ATM by your bed, as far as a guy is concerned. You should never say this to a guy, because it’s like “Hey! I’m a feminist and all, but what I really want is a guy to spend shit loads of money on me” Never say this to a dude. Ever. He will run, if he’s smart. If he doesn’t, then know he’s aware that you are shallow and superficial and that he probably is too. So don’t you dare chunk up on him, or your gravy train will be over.

#11 “I Used To Do (Insert Sex Act Here) But I Don’t Anymore”

That will piss your man off. He’ll be like “why did you do that with him (or her or them) and not with me?

How To Keep Your Relationship From Derailing!

By dicksinthecity

Relationships are wonderful, but they do require a bit of TLC from time to time. We’ve all been in relationships where the love train came off the tracks.

How do you prevent that?

How do you manage to keep a relationship from derailing?

We have your answers.

What She Said About Keeping Your Relationship On Track

I have had the pleasure of derailing many relationships in my past and it always came down to lack of communication.

One partner shuts down (normally the girl), gets upset and then the other partner feeds off that and shuts down too. They stop talking about things and start fighting about bullshit things. This can lead to resentment and bad feelings, and these bad feelings can start off so small but explode because they weren’t talked about.

Communication Is Key

In order to keep a relationship strong and healthy the couple needs to put some work into it. A great way to keep a relationship strong is to talk, talk, talk. Always communicate about everything that matters.

Along with communicating, you need to listen too. Really listen to your partner! Listen to the small day to day tidbits and also listen to their dreams and goals. Be supportive and understanding and open. For women talking is easy, we talk a lot more than men but we need to also listen.

Give & Take Along With A Healthy Dose Of Respect

There needs to be give and take in relationships and each person should feel like they are being valued.

That being said another way to keep a relationship from derailing is to respect each other, even when you fight. There is nothing wrong with fighting but one should never ever attack their partner. You can be upset with them but if you start disrespecting them and attacking their character you are just putting them down. That is not fair nor does that lead to reaching a common ground. When you disrespect your man you start to be a bully, name calling and highlighting his faults. Your goal should never be to make your partner feel worse about themselves.

Never use the word “YOU” when talking about difficult topics. This has saved us many times in the past! –Dan & Jennifer

Have Something To Share

Another way to keep a relationship from derailing is to share common interests. It could be anything, favorite movies or sport team or a love of a certain food. You need to have something in common that you both agree on, adore and makes you feel good. That way when life gets crazy you always have a base of understanding and something that ties you two together.

Along the lines of sharing common interests, to keep a relationship strong you should have separate interests. You need to have days or night where you are able to do your own thing without feeling like you need your man with you. Do an activity outside your relationship that brings you joy and doesn’t require you man. This will also help keep you interesting, having your own hobby or activity is exciting and you can tell your man all about it.

Talk, Talk, Talk

All in all, to keep a relationship from derailing it is about communication!

Talking to him when you are super happy and talking to him when you are mad. Talking to him when you are doing things together, and talking to him when you are doing things apart. It’s all about knowing your man and respecting him and your relationship.

Do not let silence or resentment ruin a perfectly amazing love.

What He Said About Keeping Your Relationship On Track

I think the most important thing is to realize that this is something that could happen and can happen if you’re not careful. Your relationship could go completely off-track and leave you in the dirt wondering what happened!

I don’t care how amazingly well matched you and your partner are, I don’t care how great the sex is or how great a friends you are, your relationship can and will go off the tracks if you don’t make a deliberate effort to keep it on the tracks. I don’t care who you are, you have to work to keep your relationship from derailing. Denying the possibility only sets you up for the fall.

Shared Interests

I think the most important way to keep your relationship from derailing is to have a strong foundation based on commonality or shared interests. There is such bullshit surrounding relationships, especially the matching part. This opposites attract notion is horseshit. Yes, they attract, but that only lasts so long in and of itself.

You need common interests and a lot in common. You need to be into a lot of the same things. You don’t see a lot of pro bodybuilders dating yoga instructors. There’s a reason for that. Bodybuilders and yoga instructors have absolutely nothing in common.

Work For It!

Assuming you did that part right, another great way to keep your relationship from derailing is to do preventative maintenance, like date night, tantric workshops, couples massage, whatever.

The easiest way to keep your relationship in shape is to keep working at it. You can’t not go to the gym and expect to be in shape, you have to keep going.

And if all else fails, there is always make up sex.

5 Things Women Do That Ruin A Relationship

By charlesdovbish

Women are not the only ones who can ruin a relationship, but there are a few things that a lot of women do that send men running for the hills. In a healthy relationship, both parties can talk about what is bothering them or common problems that can be avoided.

If you’re starting feel a rift between you and your guy, you can easily bring him back into the fold by making a few changes to yourself and the way that you handle issues when they come up.

Here are 5 things that women do to ruin a relationship.

1. Nagging Will Destroy Any Relationship

Nagging can be one of the most annoying things to a man.

Women that nag instantly get eye rolls from their spouses. It doesn’t matter if it’s over the trash, dirty dishes or laundry, nagging your guy to do something over and over again is going to get on his nerves.

Keep in mind that an overbearing mother during childhood can affect a man well into the rest of his life. If you nag and he has had this in his past, he could find it so annoying that he leaves you. If he’s doing something that really bothers you, be a mature adult and talk to him about it. Let him know what he’s doing and how much it bothers you. Once he knows that it’s a problem, he will change his ways.

2. Pushing Marriage Too Soon

Marriage is one of those things that every woman wants.

There isn’t a girl on this earth that doesn’t want to walk down the aisle with the guy of her dreams. But when you’re pushing marriage too soon you’re going to ruin what you have. Marriage is a huge step and it should not be taken lightly.

Properly planning for a future with a guy is not something that can happen overnight. If you’ve been with your guy for over a year and he’s not event talking about marriage you might have a problem on your hands. But if you’ve been together for a couple of months and you’re trying to get a ring, you need to slow it down.

Remember that a marriage is a marriage, not just the wedding.

3. Not Meeting Him Halfway

Here’s a very big problem that a lot of women face.

Traditionally, men have been the breadwinner in relationships.  However, the last 20-30 years have made women even more successful than men in the workplace. Some women talk about equality until it’s time for the check. If you’re going to be in a relationship, you need to meet him halfway. This doesn’t just extend to finances though. Compromise is the foundation for every relationship and without it you will have a very unhappy man.

Always getting your way or always letting him get his way is not going to accomplish anything. Make sure that your relationship is a 50/50 partnership or you will find your guy leaving you.

4. Getting Distant

One of the things that makes men crazy is when a girl does not talk about what is bothering them.

Men like strong women that aren’t afraid to tell them what they want and what they don’t want. So many women clam up and get distant when they don’t like something about the relationship. If you don’t talk to your guy he could just give up all together and leave you.

The truth is that men love when there are no problems in a relationship. When you work through your problems he’s going to feel closer to you. Men are used to women getting distant when they don’t like something or when they are angry so when you open up to him, you will find that he is much more open and respectful.

Don’t let things fester. This will only make it worse for you and him.

5. Threatening To leave

This is something that all men hate in a relationship.

If you are threatening to leave him, you better be ready to do it. When your guy does something that you can’t stand and you threaten to leave him, he sees this as a bluff. It’s not until you actually leave him that he’s going to respect you.

So many women threaten to leave their guys every day and never do. The guy sees this as an empty threat and the behavior just recycles over and over again. This can easily ruin the relationship.

Men that get away with things and never have ramifications are going to walk all over you. Make a decision and actually leave him if the behavior does not get corrected.

5 Signs You Need To End A Bad Relationship STAT

By loveandsex

Ending a bad relationship with your boyfriend might be the last thing that you want to do, but when it’s time to get rid of him, it’s time to get rid of him. Putting up with a guy that you know is wrong for you isn’t going to make things any easier. You will eventually grow tired of the way that he treats you and end it, so why not save yourself a lot of time and pain?

When you’re in a bad relationship, it’s important to define the reasons that you’re staying with this person. Once you have discovered the psychology behind this you can move on and grow.

Here are 5 signs you need to end that bad relationship stat!

#1 You Don’t Look Forward To Seeing Him

If you are dating a guy and you’re not excited to see him at the end of the day, it’s probably a sign that you need to end it. Your significant other should be a welcomed treat after a hard day in the office or at school. But if you’re cringing at the thought of having to deal with your boyfriend or even considering making up an excuse not to see him, you should probably end it before you do something that you regret. Many women stay with guys just so they have somebody. Companionship is important in life, but you don’t want to forgo having a great relationship to hold on to a bad relationship that isn’t working.

#2 He Gets Calls In The Middle Of The Night

When your boyfriend is getting calls in the middle of the night, there are several things that you should be on the lookout for. The first is if the number has been saved. When a guy is getting calls from an unsaved number it could be mean that he doesn’t want you to know who is calling. This could also be a wrong number, but if he’s getting a lot of calls there is probably something wrong. Ask your boyfriend to answer the phone the next time it rings. If he is calm and natural with the other person on the line, he’s probably not doing anything wrong. If he’s really nervous, you might want to be suspicious.

#3 He Doesn’t Talk About The Future

A guy that doesn’t talk about the future doesn’t see a future with you – this is a bad relationship that needs to end. This is a golden rule that you should always live by. When a guy is excited about the relationship, he looks forward to trips, family gatherings and other things that the two of you will be doing together. When he doesn’t talk about the future, it’s because he doesn’t want there to be one. Being in a bad relationship with a guy that is just going through the motions is not only frustrating it’s unhealthy. If you think that your guy is disinterested in a future with you, you should probably sit down and have a chat. Get everything out on the table and end it if necessary.

#4 You Have Different Views

Whether you’re talking about politics or religion, different views can be great for a relationship. However, when you take things to the extreme it’s probably not going to work out. If he’s far right and you’re far left every political report can turn into a heated argument. Being different adds a little drama to the relationship and can even spark passion, but when you take things to polar opposites you’re just asking for trouble. Consider what your life would be like with somebody that shared your viewpoints and ask yourself if you would be much more happy. If you’re constantly getting into debates over every little thing – this is a bad relationship that needs to end.

#5 He’s The Jealous Type

The jealous type can be cute at first, but this is a REALLY bad relationship. It’s endearing to think that your guy cares enough about you to get irritated when other guys look at you. But problems can arise from this type of guy and the routine of jealousy can get very old very quickly. If you are dealing with the jealous type, ask yourself if you are willing to put up with his suspicions every time you leave the house. Being accused of cheating or watching your boyfriend yell at a guy who he thinks is flirting with you every time you go out can be extremely annoying. Ending things with a jealous guy can be hard. They will try to rope you back in through texts, flowers and other methods. Stand your ground and you will be glad that you dodged this bullet – this is a bad relationship that needs to end!
