The 7 aesthetic fears of men

Today, on the eve of the Great Horror Festival, Halloween, we're getting honest and sharing those aesthetic fears that every man has in his head. Monsters that haunt us around every corner and make our legs and our hearts tremble.

Halloween is all about scares

What is Halloween about? Well, it's scary.

It's not just a party full of fun and debauchery. It's not all that. 🎃 Decorated pumpkins, sexy/sexy costumes, sweets (children's or… not) and the trick-or-treat ritual going around the neighborhood (physically or digitally with a Tinder post well into the night).

Beneath all that (dark) sugar and zombie costumes lies a genuine declaration of principles: for one night, we laugh in the face of everything that terrifies us. And that's why today seems like a wonderful day to list the most aesthetic fears that haunt us as men and to openly share what terrifies us in silence. A true exercise in research, journalism, and compilation of surveys from Quore, Twitter, and those we've invented. Let's see how many of the following list you share:

Top 7 most aesthetic fears of men

1. TO GO BALD

When we run our hand through our hair and find hairs between our fingers, we believe that our destiny will be more like that of Juan Cuesta or the bad guy from Austin Powers than that of The Rock or Vin Diesel.

And there is no greater fear for any man, nor any economic activity that contributes more to the GDP of TürkiyeEven dreaming that you stay baldIt's a sign that you're feeling down and a bit depressed.

2. A little belly that just won't go away

Fofarte.

It's not strictly about gaining weight... although that too, but that slow process by which your once-fresh body, which could eat whatever it wanted, begins to develop permanent flabbiness in strategic places: a muffin top below the abdomen, love handles that hijack the waist, a sagging forearm... multifaceted terror in all its splendor.

3. WEREWOLF 2.0

Or to have hairy ears.

We can also use the vines that grow in the nostrils, the velvety eardrum, or the clumps of isolated hairs that start to appear in areas where there was nothing years ago. Rumor has it that Gloria Serra's next documentary is titled: Swimmers Who Wax Like Ken; Is it a trend to gain milliseconds in the municipal pool? Or is it a covert marketing campaign for the No+Vello franchises?

4. Gray hair

“Gray hair makes mature men sexy”

We agree… but the journey… is a drag. First you see a thin white line through your Samson-like mane. Then they multiply…

Then you get your first gray hair… on your body…? …on your chest?

The final milestone: your first gray hair on your testicles. 😱 Melanin doesn't lie and it's democratic... we all run out of it.

5. WRINKLES

Crow's feet are his main feature, but those two creases around his mustache or his permanently furrowed brow also creep in.

As we know, there are many ways to cope with and alleviate these terrors (and Accepting them is the healthiest of them).

6. TO FAIL TO COMPLY

Not even getting an erection. Because we already know that being a macho stud is deeply ingrained in our minds, and in sex we've been taught to be cum-centric.

Premature ejaculation is one of those things we all understand as more normal in life (due to stress, mental issues, just because...) but the day it happens to us... it's a real headache.

7. TO NOT BE SEEN... HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE SEEN?

Fear of making a fool of yourself. Of breaking unwritten rules. Of standing out too much and not being discreet. Of not fitting in or not fitting in. Of seeming insecure.

To feel insecure… To be insecure.

Laughing in the face of fear

All these fears… and many more that we surely forget… can be summed up in one: fear of being vulnerable. Of being 'less' for stepping outside of what we believe is "right".

From what we've been told and what we've told ourselves is "okay." Because sometimes, we ourselves we have told each other The most intense horror movie ever seen, and we've been a little bit trapped in it.

That's why, at least for tonight, it's also "okay" to open ourselves up to a world without hang-ups; without self-consciousness. And to dress up as a creepy clown, and hook up with a crazy vampire... and to act; to exaggerate and get attention... embracing your fears (even if they terrify us).
