Men are assumed to be strong and macho all times. We believe that a man who shows the slightest of emotions is generally weak. Also, women prefer men who are strong and can protect them all the time. A man who fears or shows emotions openly is considered as sissy. We at Born Realist are totally against the fact of stereotyping and discriminating against gender roles. We believe there are still a few men who fear 90% of the time but are too scared to talk about it. Here is a list of 10 secret fears that men never talk about.

Dieting is a common topic of discussion among women. You would rarely find a man talking about his diet to other men. That is because most men fear that talking about their diet and food schedules might make them sound feminine.

Often people take men as insensitive and brutal in a relationship. However, the fact is that it takes a man more time to get over a breakup than a woman. Your boyfriend may not show it to you all the time, but he is equally worried about the relationship and you too.

We often hear everyone telling boys from a very young age, not to cry and act like a man. This is us telling them to suck up their emotions and deal with them. These same boys when they grow up have a hard time expressing grief or their emotions.

They consider expressing their emotions as a sign of weakness. We as a society need to stop pressurizing men and allow them to openly express their feelings without humiliating them.
