Historically and biologically, men seem prepared to handle any kind of situation, whether it's a flat tire, a flying cockroach, or a hard work. It is clear, however, that the opposite sex has its concerns there. Relationship expert Charles Orlando has compiled a list of the top six fears of men.
1 ? Not make enough money
Gone are the days when the responsibility for the financial maintenance of the house was solely with the man. Today, with women in the labor market and taking care of their own finances, this responsibility is shared between the couple. Even so, it is possible that men feel pressured to collaborate more effectively than women in money.
2 ? Lose the job
The moral background of this fear is the same as that related to money. The man feels that it is his obligation to support himself and his family, even if the woman already participates more in the couple's financial life. Losing his job, then, is a threat to the smooth running of family or personal life, so that man fears having to go through this situation.
3? Age
It may not seem like it, but men are afraid of getting old. Those jokes about white hair or hair loss are actually a way of laughing at one's own fear. Growing old scares because it is a matter directly linked to virility, physical disposition and even the attractiveness of men over women. Many men believe that as they get older they will lose these characteristics.
4? Lose health
Unlike women, who often go to doctors' offices, men run from these periodic visits, even if they have some unusual symptoms. This resistance does not mean that they are not concerned, on the contrary. In part, this kind of attitude is a way of not knowing if something is wrong. At this point, men follow the maxim of "what the eyes do not see, the heart does not feel," and prefer ignorance to awareness of some serious problem.
5? Not sexually satisfy your mate
The old male fear of not being enough in bed is still in vogue. This fear is related to man's ego: knowing that a good job is being done in this regard is almost a necessity. On the other hand, they tend to be offended when they hear they are not pleasing.
6? Not be a good father
When it comes to children, the man has as many doubts as the woman. Fatherhood can be a frightening experience at first because it brings back a series of memories man has about his own father. Being a strict yet fun parent is a major concern. The man, in general, also wants to avoid repeating with his children the bad experiences he had with his father during childhood.
Of course, a woman can help her partner ease her fears and insecurities. Cultivating the complicity between the couple is important for this: both can use the relationship to work on these insecurities. Being willing to discuss these fears and reassuring them about them is the simplest way to help your partner deal with them.
