    Bragging about their prowess or conquests. Dull AF.

    Making a relative’s wedding reception all about himself. He ran around like a maniac on the dance floor, a few people fell down, jumping up and down while a handful of people encouraged him, and when it came time for the garter and bouquet toss, he had to catch both of them by running across the room with the garter, and shoving a woman to the floor.

    The guys who go through one bad experience and make it their whole life and personality. They act like no one else can understand what they’ve been through even though most people have their own trauma. Like getting rejected and having your heart broken is just part of life, it doesn’t mean you need to hate women forever and pretend you’re batman

    Not sure how to phrase it. But the way some men act when they know a woman is watching- like, trying to emulate what they think are the mannerisms of a super tough guy.

    Really any sort of tough guy bravado is very cringe, whether it be Tate-speak, bar fights, roid rage, loud car revving… ugh.

    One of the guy on our group is really chill when we are all together but as soon as another girl comes around he’s just too good for us and talk down about us. He acts really goofy almost like the mask. Doing weird voices and trying to show off. I don’t get it. Not once him doing that got him the girls number.

    When they always attack under the guise of a joke or prank, but they get bruised when someone does it back to them. If you don’t like getting punched then stop initiating the punching. They always want to come across as the toughest meanies out there but they’re so insecure about how weak they are that they can’t take it back. IDK anybody, male or female, who likes this in a guy.

    Toxic masculinity in general. They need to beat things (people or objects) up, or do the most drunk risky stunts to be the life of the party. I do condone, however, a random person not in the altercation knocking out a dick who is preying on someone weaker than them.

    Putting down another man in order to try and make himself look better towards another woman in the group. Theres a word for this, I forgot what it was though, happened a lot to me in middle school because I was a gamer that got a lot of girls and there would be the odd guy who couldn’t make a girl laugh so he would try and put me down for whatever reason to get her attention.

    Probably the fact that, fundamentally, we’ve revealed ourselves to be so similar in such a way

    Like, historically, the attitude of men has been to disparage women and femininity as a lesser form of the human experience

    Then, you get to modern days? They make more money, men hoe themselves out at least as much, if OnlyFans had a market for it, we’d be twerking in skimpy bikinis too, etc.

    At the same time, women are taking more of a no-holds-barred approach to life that harkens back to masculine roles

    It’s kinda humiliating but it’s to be expected. Nothing in life is more similar to men than women. And vice versa.

    It kinda seems like modern life is just a massive “see? I told you so” between both genders.

    Acting too cool to be polite. We had this guy in our friends group who it was so clear he only talked to women if he thought he could sleep with them. So when he found out I was sleeping with(and now dating)another guy in our friends group and that my best friend had zero attraction to him he stopped being cordial with us. Which was fine, we didn’t love his company anyways.

    Well something really funny happened in the group and ms and my best friend were talking about it and he was standing next to us, the guys in the group were smoking or something. He interrupted us talking and said “I really don’t care about any of this” and we said “that’s fine, you’re allowed to leave”. About 30 minutes later, when the guys were back they started talking about said funny thing and the guy from before asked us why we didn’t tell him about it. We told him we tried to, but he interrupted and we didn’t care to any longer.

    I’m so very happy my bf has made comments that his sexism has just gotten too much and he doesn’t enjoy his company anymore cause hanging out with someone who just shows contempt unless you show an interest in his dick is miserable.

I have muscles, and I’m kind of shy. Licks their lips and gives doe eyes to the camera. I mean, don’t get me wrong, most of them are fine as hell, but that shit is so cringe to me.

    When they are too nonchalant. Like you’re telling me you don’t get excited about anything? Nothing is important to you? No opinions?? And you don’t say anything except “nah” and “yuh.” You don’t look as cool as you’re trying to be, everyone just thinks you have some kind of mental handicap.

    Talking about all the women they have slept with like its a contest to make it seem as though they are desirable. IMO it just makes them look trashy and rapey as well as super insecure.

    Peacocking

    Male here but this makes me cringe endlessly. When men change their personality and peacock in the presence of a woman. Then when the woman leaves everyone’s presence, they all change back to how they were to begin with. I see guys get super friendly with each other and act out things in order to draw attention to themselves when a woman is present. The entire dynamic changes. People who normally have nothing to do with me otherwise suddenly become my best friend for a few minutes. It’s sickening actually. Im one of the only people that i know of that doesn’t peacock or change when a woman is around. I act like they don’t even exist. But I’m also happily married and I’m always myself anyways at all times. I’m secure in myself and i think that’s one reason why i don’t act this way. But man i notice it. And it tells me alot about a person.

    I see this at work all the time. I work in an alpha male dominated environment, and we rarely have women around. But when we do, people lose their minds over it. They act like best friends suddenly and start making jokes outloud to be funny and a reason to smile. It’s so over the top. It’s a black and white difference.

    Telling you you’re not like other girls 🙄.

    Having anything to do with that alpha/high value male crap.

    Thinking any podcast bro is worth listening to (exception for the basement yard).

    Bragging about money/being a finance bro.

    Whinging about gold diggers when they have no gold to dig.

    Ridiculously loud cars and music.

    Playing guitar at you and/or writing you a song or poetry then reading it at you.

    Mistaking controlling behaviour for protectiveness.

    Being self-deprecating to fish for compliments.

    Baby talk. Ever. Seriously, ever.

    This one is real specific but there’s been an upturn in men reading romance/romantacy then making it their entire personalities thinking it makes them irresistible. It’s so embarrassing. See also: men who cosplay as fictional characters, specially from romance books.
