Do you males suffer from low self esteem?

Pssst... I do, but I wasn't sure if you meant me? I hope you did mean me and I don't know If I belong, because I'm not sure I am a regular? but I'm sure I have a really low-self esteem!

NR

Self esteem is some that normally has highs and lows in people of both men and women. It depends on the setting. the insecurity's of a woman with good self esteem may be more active the night before a big date when trying on outfits etc. we all have signs of such things,but it is or ability to control them that keeps them from becoming mental disorders.

Yes. What kind of question is that? Of course males suffer from low self esteem. Who doesn't? Everyone hits low points in life.

Yes they definatly do. Why do you think so many cheat? They are just trying to prove that they still have it. LOw self esteem is the #1cause of men cheating.

Obviously I'm not a male, but I couldn't avoid putting my two cents into this one:

When I was young, I thought that only females suffered with low self-esteem. I thought that many men were super-egotistical, self-righteous bas**rds. I've come to learn a lot on the road of life, though:

--Most abusers/batterers absolutely suffer from low self-esteem.

--Some short men suffer from a "Napoleon complex." This equals low self-esteem regarding their heights. (This also applies to small-framed men with no muscles).

--Even some of the most suave, composed, charismatic, 'normal' men, have eventually admitted that they have a lot of rejection fears, equaling low self-esteem.

--Even in today's world, many men dislike when a woman holds a higher position (or even the same position) as they do. This holds true even when the women earn less money for doing the same work. Some men are truly frightened, again, this is low self-esteem.

--Many men have additionally admitted a fear to winding up alone--some worry that they'll never marry--some worry very much about their looks going downhill. (Low self-esteem).

--Even the biggest cheaters and liars fear losing their wives and families (The cheating, in itself equals low self-esteem).

--The men who are control-freaks and/or express extreme jealousy are insecure, and indeed suffer with low self-esteem.

All in all, men are not so different from women--some just hold a lot in until they become older--though, some will never admit to having any problems--due to their extremely low self-esteem.

Sure.

Well, maybe. Well, maybe not.

Maybe you should define "low self esteem." That is a loaded phrase and could mean many things.

Not at all. Conversely, I think it is the women that frequent this site that suffer from low self esteem. They feel victimized and powerless and they frequently blame men for these feelings. They come seeking companionship from other similarly deluded women and it gives then comfort, at least temporarily until the true cause for this feeling of weakness and powerlessness becomes apparent to you. That you are an unattractive woman. That's the paradox. You so desperately seek the companionship of a man but there is no man willing to reciprocate. Consequently, this results in feelings of worthlessness and anger. Anger at that which you desire more than anything. A man.

"You" meaning the women that frequent this site. Not you personally, Sweetie. Why, did you want to send me a picture of yourself to show me how terribly wrong I am?

I don't know any of them personally so I am not going to judge anyone... especially since I hate being deemed a feminazi because I am a regular here.

Sometimes, but not since I have been working out.

yes very much so. we hate ourselves. little johnny doesn't even come out to play anymore X-(
