" I was hoping for women's advice here lol"
I'm not so sure women
CAN help you or know what to say in this matter!
Truth be known, we
men may not know either.
Oh, we might tend to crack a joke or pass this off rather flippantly, but it's pretty serious stuff, really.
Your bf apparently has become obsessed over not "measuring up". He's either looking at other guys who are bigger (whereby he's feeling even
less a man) OR he's looking at other guys who are smaller (where he's attempting to feel
more a man by comparing to them). Either way, this isn't healthy behavior
at all. (If truly honest, all of us would have to reach the same conclusion)
But before we become too quick to judge him, let's take a look around here at the LPSG ! --Aren't many of us (guys) doing the same doggone thing as we look at the pix ?
Men want attention paid
personally to them...to be appreciated. And they want their "maleness" admired too. And that includes
THEIR penis. This little male desire is tucked away...way down deep in our psyches. But it's there, nonetheless. Our "manhood" is powerful to us. We jealously guard it. Our penis "consciousness" is intrinsically a VERY important part of our mere existence. When our self confidence as a man is threatened or diminished, it can be incapacitating for many of us. We easily become crippled by it and yet, don't even recognize this impact on our lives!
If a guy's mindset is so damaged that he doesn't believe in the sincerity of the woman's compliments, then it might be time for some qualified
outside help. No woman's fondling, no amount of fellatio, NOTHING is likely to help the poor guy turn the corner into feeling better about himself. The mindtrap he is caught in ...
is a tight one. Releasing this trap... would best be left to some professional counseling.
It might take time to have your bf accept this kind of news! And, you as his gf must decide whether you want to remain with him or not. That journey where your bf finally becomes more accepting of himself just may have to be made
without you (because
you alone CANNOT help him )
If you do stay with him, you are to be commended because it will take time and patience on
your part. And likely, LOTS of supportive listening no doubt. Not every woman would be up to such a challenge.
Others might advise that your bf's checking out other men is somewhat normal. Okay. --That's a given perhaps. But if he knows this behavior upsets you and he still does it, THAT isn't being respectful of you! And, it lends even more cause to encourage you to think this matter through pretty thorougly--from several angles.
