This is really the heart of the issue: men and women have different problems and it takes effort to see a point of view other than your own. The main reason men don't feel OK in their own skin is that the only problem they can't manage fairly effectively is the trouble they have attracting the opposite sex and they don't see why anyone who didn't have that problem wouldn't feel OK. Women of course, DON'T have that particular problem, at least not in the same form, and so they refuse to believe that men do either, or that if they do it is their own fault, not really a problem, etc. etc. and they refuse to belive men when men tell them that if men could fuck anyone they wanted anytime they wanted they SINCERELY would not care whether everyone hung on their every word or not.
