I’m not talking dark secrets or anything. Just small habits, thoughts, or routines that are lowkey universal but never really said out loud. Curious from this other side.
What’s something you think most men do, but almost never talk about?

Think about the Roman Empire.
Thinking about their GF/wife having sex with somebody else. For some of them it is kind of a nightmare scenario, for others a turn-on, but neither group is willing to acknowledge that.
Pretending to be in a music video while listening to sad songs alone 😭🎧
If robbers broke in right now at the coffee shop, how you could kick all of their asses and save the day.
Endure abusive relationships but don’t talk about them with other men.
Walking around gardening / hardware store and think ‘best weapon for zombie attack’.
Pinch and roll, maybe a sniff
Pinch and roll…. Never EVER scratch.
That one guy’s dead wife
Imagine most hot women I meet would look(and sound) in my favorite sexual position.
Cry in the car. I mean I heard that anyway 😀
Pinch and roll.
Kick your underwear up and catch it with your hand.
Wee in sinks
Hey, noone said it’d be easy to be trans.
Pee in the yard instead of the toilet.
I spent a lot of time living like a caveman overseas (OEF), not showering, peeing everywhere, anywhere, anytime.
Most men have their eyes on the door at all times.
Just in case some bad guy comes in or breaks in trying to hurt people or start something you had that extra reaction time because you had your eyes on the entrances and exits.
The helicopter. Every guy has done this at least once lol.
Check their ass in the mirror check their naked body in general
Look at everyone’s butts walking in front of me. Not always in a sexual way. Kinda hard to explain lol
i think most men have been sexually assaulted by women but very few say anything. its why i will never ever believe any sexual assaulted statistics – all ten of my male friends from college have been sexually assaulted by women and exactly zero of us are included in those stats.
my SMOKING HOT take it is that women sexually harass men more than men harass women but i dont think reddits ready for that discussion
Try to suck themselves off at least once in their life
Sit down to pee
I lived with 8 guys in a co ed situation in college, many moons ago. One of them was excited about a date, he had been crushing on a girl in one of his classes, asked her out and she was in.
We were all hanging out in the shared space when he came home from his date. We asked how it went and he was like “she ate some of my food.” And that’s it, that was the full report. the others were like “awwwwhhh bummer.” They didn’t even discuss it further. I just sensed it was like “welp, that’s that, never goin out with her again.”
I was like damn, is that some unspoken consensus?
A kiss good night and a I love you
Everyone’s boofed something at some point
Suffer in silence.
Go and work on something so we hopefully don’t have a full mental breakdown. I’m just saying we know everything we say can and will be used against us so we channel it to other things. I’m a killer cook and handy with electronics just so I wouldn’t have to hear the “oh..ok” from any of the women I’ve dated as everytime I believed the it’s ok to voice your feelings line I’m apparently a monster. Like oh ot bothers me how your friends actively shit and diminish my role in our relationship or and this one is a classic very early one for me I don’t feel comfortable going to your dad’s house after he brought out his gun and threatened to blow my brains out. I was 16 and just taking her out on a valentines day date and picking her up. Apparently I was the unreasonable one to feel uncomfortable by that. Yeah so I ll keep my emotions in therapy and any hobby or project I find myself doing instead of giving people the ammo they want to blow my brains out I rather have my peace of mind.
Drink pink gin and tonic indoors, well I do anyway
Nose picking
I absolutely could have played (insert chosen sport here) for my country.
Cringe when someone comes into the room or area to disturb my quiet space.
Be it if I’m sitting quietly or working on a project, most times I just want to be left alone, but you can’t say anything because then it’s a discussion of how we are trying to get away or just don’t want to be around her.
I think most men want to finish one project before starting another one. With too many projects at the same time, you can never get anything accomplished.
I think about where I would sleep if I became homeless. When I’m driving around I think to myself.m “that’d be a good spot, or “why isn’t a homeless person living there?”
Imagine myself in a zombie apocalypse, saving all my freinds, holding hands of my crush, beating asses of motherfucking zombies……
Wandering around the house naked or comando
Imagining entire lives with random girls we pass
Always go for the most strategic table possible at a restaurant in case trouble comes knocking.
Skin care routine
Using the roster as a towel rack.
Room clear the house. Always check your corners.
Feel greatly embarrassed when you gf leaves you for another guy. As in, not even be able to form a complete sentence about it.
Bonus points if you’d rather be thrown down a flight of stairs than run into said ex.
Cry
Look there are two types of men: men who pick their noses, and goddamn liars.
I actually use the same joke for all people, but I feel it’s more true for men, lol.
Abuse women
I was told that all men tend to eat the same way. They like hunch over and it looks like they protect their food as they eat.
slapping the top part of the door frame
Cry.
