It's not just women who have body hang-ups, it seems; men do too but they often don't feel comfortable talking about them.

Hundreds of men have taken to Reddit to make frank admissions about their biggest insecurities - many of which they believe women fail to take into consideration.

From being too skinny to balding prematurely and struggling to talk to the opposite sex, men anonymously addressed the concerns many wrestle with but few discuss.

Men seem a lot more closed off than women about their insecurities and body hang-ups, after somebody took to Reddit to ask men to talk about what insecurities they had

One Redditor admitted that they could be just as shy or nervous as women, and said even if they don't make a move, it doesn't mean that they aren't interested.

Another revealed that weight is an issue for men too, and that being skinny is an insecurity.

User not_athletic said it isn't the Hollywood actors that make them insecure about themselves, but ordinary men their own age who have a better build than they do.

One poster said men under 5ft8ins had to deal with being patronised by strangers, while another said men often struggle to afford to foot the bill for dates - but are uncomfortable saying so to the woman they're seeing.

One man admitted that sometimes they don't have the money to pay for dinner and drinks on every date but are too embarrassed to ask women to split the bill

Another man took to the forum to say that they feel insecure about their balding and admitted that receding hairlines are a big concern for most men
