Customers hitting on people at their job.
Was eating lunch at a bar one time when three dude bros came in and started hitting on the bartender. They weren’t overly aggressive but it was obnoxious.
She handled it really well. She looked each of them in the eye, smiled, introduced herself and shook each of their hands in turn. She stated she was a professional and appreciated being treated like one. She was friendly but firm.
Shut them right the fuck up. They behaved much better after that.
She has done countless subsequent women a huge favour.
Honestly, not checking in on each other.
There are a lot of stereotypes in this thread, and some I’ve encountered, some I haven’t. But I do know that there is an epidemic of loneliness among men, and it is very real and sometimes deadly.
Damn, this needs to be at the top.
Of mind. Seriously. Reach out to your buddies you haven’t heard from in a few weeks. And don’t stop doing that. They’ll appreciate it, and so will you.
The need to make everything into a competition or to one-up any story or anecdote.
I know plenty of women who do the same
Case in point.
Making fun of people for admitting they don’t know things.
I wish more guys just said they didn’t know something instead of clearly not knowing what they’re talking about and running their mouth based on vibes
A friend of mine keeps doing this. He’ll pretend to be an expert of fucking anything, and you can generally tell immediately that he doesn’t know shit. When he goes on about things that I actually do know things about it’s unbearable, and of course his ego is too fragile to handle being told he’s wrong.
We have a lot of impressive common friends with awesome general knowledge, and I frequently wonder how the hell we have the patience to keep him around. My general knowledge is shite, but at least I’m quite open about being ignorant.
He’s hyper sensitive about social situations, yet introducing him to new people is almost always embarrassing.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, he is a professional psychologist.
Your friend is Jordan Peterson
Thank god he is guaranteed to hate Jordan Peterson - he has redeeming qualities as well. But reading back my comment it’s uncanny how much it sounds like him.
I know one of these. He’s extremely insecure and has other issues but he will talk about ANYTHING as if he were an expert
Bragging about sexual conquests.
If I wanted to know about your sex life I’d ask for your Only Fans.
Needing to be not just right but the most right person in the room about everything
2 former coworkers of mine who always the smartest person they know. One of em lives alone and you can tell he’s never lost an argument (with himself in his head) and anytime he tries to back up his opinion it’s always the same “it’s dumb, it’s stupid, it doesn’t make sense it’s not LoGiCaL”. But anytime you try to chime in…he talks over you.
The other is one of those “I read both sides of the story so I know far far more than you”…who was a one of those reddit knowitalls.
There can only be one
I have a coworker who is walking checklist of toxic traits and red flags. Here are the highlights:
- only helps attractive younger women or men who can do favors for him
- sticks his nose into situations that he has no business with
- tends to work on high visibility projects while ignoring his actual job
- has a BT speaker that requires wheels and extended handle and plays his shitty music loudly
- honestly thinks he’s all that and a bag of chips
wtf @ the bluetooth wheelie
- honestly thinks he’s all that and a bag of chips
ಠ_ಠ
Naturally, you are the one and true Bag of Chips
Factory standard self-centered douchebag™
This is a pattern I’ve seen repeatedly.
Guys find themselves desperate to get laid, and that desperation comes across in all of their interactions with women, who don’t like feeling that they’re being treated like a vending machine, which leads to the guy being rejected for reasons that he doesn’t entirely understand.
He gets in a relationship with someone, finally, and everything is great for a while. Then he realizes that women are talking and flirting with him more than they ever have before, and isn’t sure why, but he enjoys it. He doesn’t understand that, because he is in a relationship, he has stopped being desperate and weird, and is now actually having real conversations with women about mutually interesting topics.
Surrounded by women that are (seemingly) available, he either breaks up with his SO, asks for some sort of open arrangement, or tries to cheat. Unfortunately, for reasons that he still doesn’t understand, as soon as he’s available for sex, women start being turned off by him again (if not to quite the degree they were before) and, again, he finds it difficult to get laid.
From here, guys often fall into some incel-style evolutionary psychology explanation for things, regularly cheat on everyone that they’re with, or gradually becomes aware of the pattern.
If they become aware of the pattern, they can begin to manage it and reduce the desperate, salesman vibe that they give off. As they become more confident and relaxed, it becomes clear to women that they’re perfectly comfortable going home alone or just being friends, which allows them to have more meaningful relationships and, incidentally, more sex with people they like.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk on the origin and mating behavior of the involuntarily celibate.
Problem # 2,846 that would be solved if everyone wasn’t so hung up on monogamy
I think you’re confusing incels with dudebros
My uncle who asks which peloton instructors I like informing me that he only picks the hot ones.
Like, you’ve been married to a woman for 30 years. I get it, you’re straight.
Not really exclusive to men; women thirsting after hot fitness instructors is a whole trope
An egocentric attitude, like they’re the main character. Super fucking annoying.
Constantly questioning other men’s sexuality.
Bro its 2024, MIND YOUR DAMN BUISNESS.
The only emotion men are allowed to express is anger. Being angry all the time is extra manly.
And if you’re not being angry, being an emotionless robot is also super manly
That the most manly thing you can do is be intimidating. Big muscles, big car, loud car or bike, acting angry or tough. None of these things make you more of a man, in fact offten than not they make you look insecure and less of a man.
I think the most manly thing I do is wear pink, I recently got a custom make shirt,bright pink with a big honkin “I love cowboys” printed on the front. Teenage me would be cringing but my thought is, “if you’re manly, you can handle the color pink”
Side note is old ladies love it
They definitely want to talk to you about your favorite Western romance series, just fyi
I mean my girlfriends super into that stuff, so I wouldn’t be too surprised
Being creepy to women. Or worse than creepy
Some guys never grow out of The Badass Persona that a lot of teenagers like to portray. It’s extremely annoying from a guy in his 50’s.
