Ladies, you aren't the only ones with insecurities about your appearance . . . GUYS have body hang-ups too.  Here's a list of three thing guys are insecure about . . . and some tips on how to get past whatever YOU'RE insecure about.

#1.)  Hair Loss.  Women have bad hair days, but men have to deal with going BALD.  And there's not much guys can do about it that doesn't involve expensive treatments or medical procedures. 

#2.)  Weight and Fitness.  For the most part, guys don't obsess over their bodies as much as women.  But even if a guy isn't overweight, he's probably insecure about SOMETHING on his body, like a beer belly, small arms, or undefined calves.

#3.)  Aging.  Women at least have the luxury of makeup.  And sure, society doesn't place the same emphasis on youthfulness when it comes to men.  But one of the fastest-growing groups of Botox users IS middle-aged businessmen.

Whatever it is you're insecure about, here are three tips to help you get over it . . .

#1.)  Be Honest with Yourself.  Don't overestimate the importance OTHER people put on your appearance.  Let's face it:  They're probably more worried about THEMSELVES.  Just be healthy, and work on what you can change . . . if you want to.   

#2.)  Stop Being Negative.  Try to keep things in perspective, and don't be too hard on yourself.  Maybe you're NOT the best looking person in the room.  But you can still focus on the positive things in your life.

#3.)  Realize That Others May Find Your "Flaws" Attractive.  You may hate your big feet or curvy backside, but other people might not notice or even CARE about the flaws you hate so much.  In fact, they might even LIKE them.

Would you rather have a mattress that's decent to sleep on but GREAT for sex . . . or a mattress that's bad for your sex life but amazing for sleep?

--More and more Americans are saying . . . sleep over sex.

--Memory foam mattresses keep getting more popular.  And while they give you a great night's sleep, they're not so great for getting-it-on.

--In the last eight years, they've gone from 14% of the market to almost 20%.  Even though people know memory foam is great for sleep but not relations.

--And . . . we don't really mind.  40% of memory foam owners say the sex isn't great on them, but 80% say they're happy with memory foam.

According to a survey by a British clothing website called Very.co.uk, women want to know the TRUTH when they're trying on clothes.

--82% of women say that when they ask if something makes their butt look big, they want their significant other to be honest.  And 70% think that their man actually WILL answer truthfully.

--But most men KNOW BETTER.  64% of guys admit that they've LIED to their wife when they were asked that question, and, quote, "said the right thing."

--68% of men say that they think telling the truth would make their wife upset . . . and 11% think telling her how she really looks would ruin an entire weekend.

--Of course, women eventually find out how clothes really make them look, and the average woman has $160 worth of clothes in her closet that she's never worn.

A new documentary called "Mansome" comes out in limited release this Friday.  It's by Morgan Spurlock . . . the guy from "Super Size Me" . . . and it's about the rising popularity of "manscaping".

--A lot more guys are willing to do it now, because they know women like it.  But they still tend to be pretty clueless about HOW to manscape.  So ModernMan.com asked WOMEN what men should shave and what they shouldn't.

--Here are the five rules they came up with.

#1.)  Shave or Wax Your Back, but Keep It a Secret.  Basically, they want you to do it if you have a lot of back hair.  But they'd rather not know about it. 

#2.)  Don't Shave Your Chest Hair, but Trim It if It Gets Out of Control.  If you need to clean it up a little bit, use trimmers.  Don't shave everything, and don't get it waxed.

--The only time it's even ACCEPTABLE to shave all your chest hair is if you're in outstanding shape.  Otherwise, leave a little.

#3.)  Never Completely Shave Your Package.  One woman said it best, quote, "It makes me think he's trying too hard, or [he's] a weirdo who loves staring at his naked crotch."

--On the other hand, don't let it get TOO crazy down there.  They say to use scissors or trimmer . . . never wax . . . and be VERY careful.

#4.)  Don't Shave Your Face on Weekends.  If you HATE having facial hair . . . or SHE hates it . . . then by all means shave.  But apparently a lot of women like it when you're scruffy sometimes.

#5.)  Don't Shave Your Arms or Your Legs.  Again, one of the women they talked to nailed this one.  She said, quote, "I would find it very, very odd if a guy waxed his arms and legs and wasn't a cyclist or a swimmer."

--We assume the same thing goes for the hair under your arms.

There's a VERY tight battle between the top two things women REALLY don't want to talk about with you.

--According to a new survey, women are SLIGHTLY more uncomfortable talking about SEX than talking about THEIR BOWELS.  But it's close.

--30% of women said sex is the most uncomfortable conversation topic, 29% said constipation and other things related to their extended time on the toilet.

--When women DO talk about their bowels, they're more likely to talk to other women than men.

--Only 7% of women who would talk to a man would tell anyone but their husband or boyfriend.

Want to confront your husband because you think he's cheating on you?  You should know this going in.  There are TWO WORDS he might say that are the single biggest giveaway that, yes, he's having an affair.

--And they are . . . "You're crazy."

--If you accuse someone who's not cheating, he'll be hurt and mad . . . but his instinct won't be to say you're crazy.  His instinct will be to figure out why you thought he was cheating and reassure you that he's faithful.

--When someone IS cheating, they want to make you doubt YOURSELF instead.  So by saying "you're crazy" over and over, they're trying to make you question your own judgment.

This is the kind of government insanity and wastefulness that makes you want to slam your head into a wall.

--Back in 2010, the Pentagon felt it was overrun with studies.  So to find out if they were running too many studies . . . yep, they commissioned a study on whether they were running too many studies.

--It gets worse.  Now it's two years later and the Government Accountability Office wanted to review that study on studies.  But they felt it needed a deeper investigation.

--So THEY ran a study on the study to see if we run too many studies.  Which REALLY should've answered their question.

--Their conclusion was that the Pentagon's study on studies was incomplete and poorly executed . . . it only reviewed nine studies, lost the findings on six of those, and didn't actually figure out the costs behind the studies.

--The GAO didn't release how much money has been blown on studies or studies on studies . . . but, like everything with the government, you can assume it's nauseatingly high.  Ladies and gentlemen, your tax dollars at work.
