My friend Darla met someone at the gym recently and she is interested in him. After a couple of dates she has noticed that he makes self-deprecating comments about his size. He isn’t even that large and he does work out but she believes he has some hang ups about his body.

We all have parts of our body that we may want to improve but some people really struggle with confidence about their image. How does that impact their dating life? Have you ever met someone who seems to lack confidence in their appearance? Even when you show interest in them, they don’t see what you see. How can you be supportive of them?

Ladies, is it a turn off if a guy lacks confidence and has body issues?
