We love being cuddled. I look like a stereotypical tough guy and know some martial arts but damn, a cuddle from my girlfriend is just the best. Personally, I don’t mind revealing that I love cuddles but I know a lot of dudes don’t wanna admit that
Debating ending it all often, but not doing it because of how badly it affects those around us
That little knee bend/stretch to get your balls unstuck from whatever position they magically aligned themselvesIts not for our legs/knees/hips its 100% just for the balls to reposition

Even if someone seems like a complete stranger to you, you can be pretty certain that they behave similarly to you in their daily life.Even if you have different lifestyles and habits, some behaviors are simply extremely human and it’s hard to avoid them. Whether that’s sinking into your daydreams, crying when you’re upset, or singing along to a song that you adore. It’s these little behaviors that unite us.

Daydream about insane scenarios that will never happen where you’re the main hero that swoops in to save the day.Common examples include things like thinking you could figure out how to land an entire airplane in an emergency, thinking about “What happens if there’s a robbery and I stop the bad guy”, thinking about saving someone from a burning building, thinking you could save someone’s life if there’s a random medical emergency, etc.
Try to clean the toilet bowl with your pee stream
Pee in the shower. I could pee right before the shower in the toilet, but the second the hot water hits me, my bladder says “It’s pee time.”
It’s not just certain behaviors that people have in common. Many men have very similar fears and insecurities. For example, ‘Fatherly’ points out that many menare insecure aboutdeveloping large breasts. Others are embarrassed about losing their hair or being too thin or too short. On the flip side, men who are taller than their peers might have issues with their height, too.For others, it’s their situation at home and in the office that haunts them. Guys are worried about the kinds of husbands and dads they’ll turn out to be. Others are scared that they’re not where they ‘should’ be in terms of their career just yet.

Nose picking is more common than anyone will admit
Another common insecurity among guys is the fear that they might not beadequate enoughin the bedroom, both in terms of performance and size. Meanwhile, many men who have an older understanding of masculinity might avoid showing any emotions or weaknesses at all. In their mind, any sort of vulnerability is ‘wrong.’This desire to appear extremelymachoat all times can have some negative effects on them and the people around them, however. For example, men who avoid talking about their mental health struggles or seeking the help of a professional when they need to can only worsen the situation.

Many men are also wary of getting in touch with a doctor when they have health issues. There’s a certaindeeply-rooted stigmathat men ‘should’ be strong enough to handle everything on their own and that asking for help is a sign of weakness. While having a stoic mindset is definitely helpful in life, health issues aren’t something you should be playing around with.Many men are unwilling to see a professional if they have issues that are particularly embarrassing. Others are scared of getting bad news, so they choose to live in denial, hoping that the problems will go away on their own.To put it bluntly, have the courage to be humble—see a doctor not just when you have health issues, but also for regular checkups. You’re not less of a man because you take care of your health. Quite the opposite!
