I’ll go first. My wife makes fun of me for aggressively checking the locks at 12 AM like a medieval sentry doing perimeter patrol: shirtless, in boxer briefs, fully convinced I’m the last line of defense against imaginary threats.
What’s your lone-wolf male behavior that feels primal and unnecessary but you absolutely must do it?

Looking for items that I can’t find. I lost it alone, therefore I must hunt for it alone
I don’t have any, I am not a wolf
Dude, that’s not lone-wolf behavior. That’s just anxiety.
Groceries…i dont care how many bags…this is a one trip one person operation
After so long I will have a borderline mental break if people are around, I need time alone. After alone time I’m fine.
I take my paintball ball gun and sweep through each room of the house aggressively to verify no spiders are lurking about
I actually have cameras set up that I check at night so I don’t have to get up like you do. I guess mine would be just going for an extra drive to clear my mind before I get home. When I’m working late at night and driving home at 2/3 a.m. the city is dead asleep and you can catch the occasion bunny, owl, raccoon, and sometimes even a coyote.
3, 4 am, everyone is asleep execpt me. Just the stars and I.
(I go to sleep at 8 😅)
No get married. Ever. Have my own place… crazy I know, I made pieces with the fact that ill die alone. I love women, just not commitment and need my personal space.
I’m lone wolfing it through life
it feels like i’m killing myself because humans are pack tribal monkeys but after my divorce I feel i’ll survive longer this way
I drive EVERYWHERE myself. With a couple exceptions of other drivers I truly feel safe with. Just did central Texas to upstate NY in two days….wife kept offering to drive…I just politely declined. Regularly drive cross country solo, sleep in car etc. dunno if this counts but…
I do the same. It’s my bedtime routine.
Running at night. Late. Clearing my head.
I can easily answer this for my husband lol
Similar to you, anybody who even walks NEAR our house… he’ll just stare out the window with a mean mug… like this 🤨
Lmao it was like as soon as we moved into our house and had kids… boom… he’s on patrol
I do the midnight shirtless boxer patrol too.
Suffering in silence
Not engaging with people until someone absolutely dazzles me. Dazzle is a harsh term. Show me you’re a living person with a brain. I’ll go wolf along with you .
Same, but I like to add a “twelve o’clock and all’s well!” call-out after my patrol 😂
Never pull out.
I have a nice tool, so I built a shed over it.
Being independent even at the expense of better alternatives.
I have an axe, a crowbar, and a kukri by my bed in case of home invasion.
I have a hammer and crowbar in my car for the same reason
Sometimes I’ll take the kukri into the yard and clear some brush as a little break from work
After any situation in which I’ve been required to be social at all, I need to get out on my own and just wander around a bit to wind down
I really love, once the sun has gone down and it’s dark out, putting on cozy dark pants and a dark hoodie and just sitting on the back deck to observe the comings and goings in our yard and on our neighborhood trails (we live in one of a couple houses at a large 4 way intersection of two of our neighborhood green space paths).
It’s usually nice and cool out, and peaceful, and super relaxing. But I also like the feeling of being able to see everyone and everything coming past our backyard without being noticed. It’s like a pretend stakeout I do in the middle of the night pretty frequently.
Whenever my wife notices she’s just like “there you are! What are you doing? It’s cold and dark out!”
Sorry babe, I have a primal need to watch for potential predators stalking our shelter. 😎
Take long poop breaks. I mostly just fart periodically and browse Reddit
My favorite way to eat soup is cold and directly out of the can.
My ideal mattress is best described as “the softest brick you can find.”
If I hear the skittering of cockroach feet, I must hunt them down and kill them. I’ll smack them with a shoe if one is close by, or my bare hands if not. I can always wash my hands; I might not get another good shot at the roach.
I cannot ignore people who need help. I can’t say what that ‘needs help’ is, but sometimes it will get triggered and I have to help. It happens with men and women and kids. More often with women than men, but it’s not exclusive. Some sort of protective gene. I don’t know though that it’s unnecessary.

Going for runs before anyone else is up or after everyone else asleep. It’s very refreshing to be alone with the entirety of all the “danger” we’re programmed to avoid.
3am runs in a downtown area, no headphones, no phone – sheesh. Ready to conquer the world after that.
Thousand yard stare into whatever fire I build.
I keep my hunting bow and a few broadheads under my bed. Also a tomohawk behind the bedside table.
Going outside when it’s storming super bad or there’s tornado warnings and watching it. Makes me feel like a bad ass
