Theree are some behaviors that some men exhibit that can be frustrating, annoying, or even harmful to those around them. Someone recently asked, “What things do you wish other men would stop doing?” And here are the top 26 answers.
Insulting Others In Front Of Women
“I know, right!? Proper etiquette is for the boys to prop you up, not to push me down. If his crush is nearby, you treat him like the funniest, smartest, coolest dude in the group.”
“As a girl, I agree; this is the most unattractive thing a guy can do. Please stop. It’s immature, embarrassing, and makes us want to run away.”
Macho Posturing
“Stop trying to be Mr. Tough, arrogant guy when an attractive woman is in your presence.”
“When I did tree work, nobody wanted to pick up any of the big chunks of logs, but when a hot jogger went by, all a sudden, all this heavy stuff started flying into the truck. They never even looked in our direction.”
Not Washing Their Hands
“I spent 30+ years in the restaurant industry. I’d be in the men’s washroom; how many men didn’t just not wash their hands after urinating but ALSO dropping a deuce was sickening. They would just go back to their food.”
“I’ve seen guys use the urinal, get pee on their hands and, instead of washing, they just get a paper towel and leave. Now I’m trapped in here because I can’t touch the door handle!”
Hitting On Women In Relationships
“The weird thing is; why would you want a woman whose done that to their ex if you do successfully hook up?”
“It’s extremely disrespectful to both guy and girl. You’re telling the guy you’re better than him, and you don’t respect his relationships, and you’re treating the girl like she’s some trophy to win away from someone. It’s a douche thing to do.”
Harassing Women
“Hitting on women non-stop, who are clearly uncomfortable. I hate it; it’s so creepy and hard to watch.”
Insulting Women That Turn Them Down
“If she’s not super rude, then really, why!? It’s not hard to be civil, and name-calling makes you sound like a pathetic sore loser. Have some respect and imagine your grandmother could hear you.”
“It’s so oddly hilarious. I witnessed a dude tell a woman how gorgeous she was; that he would marry her that very night. When she declined, he called her a fat, ugly tramp!”
Approaching Women Outside At Night
“Stop approaching women in parking lots! At night! My girlfriend mentions that way older guys ask her out while she’s carrying groceries. The worst was a guy who knocked on her window when she was sitting in her car.”
“I’ve heard the best place to pick up girls is the grocery store, but in the store where people are, NOT in the dead of night near their car. That’s rapey as anything!”
Not Smiling
“I have two looks; Vaguely Grumpy or Serial Killer. Pick one.”
“I know, but it’s legitimately difficult for me to maintain a smile. I always end up looking like I want to eat your pancreas or something, so I just don’t bother much.”
“You could even give me a little kiss to defuse the tension, my dude.”
Joining Pyramid Schemes
“They’re always really vague about what they do. I don’t want an exclusive chance to gain you as a mentor; I sat next to you in pre-algebra and know that the concept of math escapes you.”
“Hustle culture is incredibly toxic and grossly pervasive right now.”
Faking It
“Stop renting luxury vehicles for a weekend and pretending you ‘made it.’ If your whole plan is to just fake it till you make it, then I’m not interested in whatever you’re doing.”
“Those dudes on YouTube who rent a Lambo for a couple of hours and then hire an actress to pretend to be impressed by it are beyond pathetic.”
Unsolicited Genital Photos
“A man sending these is like a cat bringing in a dead mouse. We can see that you’re proud of it, but we’re going to throw that away without ever touching it.”
“Some guys think women will be attracted to these pics the same way they like boob pics. The two are not equivalent. The only group I know that like them are gay men.”
Peeing On The Toilet Seat
“You’re a grown man; lift the seat or sit if you can’t get all your pee dribbles in the hole.”
“Love that this was also one of the top answers on the Women’s version of this post too.”
“Or, at the very least, clean up after.”
Inability To Share Their Feelings
“Making adult male friends is such a chore for this very reason.”
“It’s tough, but as a guy, you have to make yourself vulnerable enough to be known without over-sharing or seeming weak or desperate.”
“And when someone does get you to tell your deepest thoughts, you get mocked for it.”
Hitting On Much Younger Women
“I heard a man in his late 40s hitting on the 16-year-old cashier, and he noted that she looked uncomfortable. He proceeded to mansplain that, as a female cashier, she would be hit on a lot and that she just had to roll with it. I was struck by how ridiculous it was that he knew that but, somehow, didn’t think he was the problem.”
“Please stop hitting on the female cashier that is less than half your age.”
Complaining About No Sex (When Wife Just Gave Birth)
“They cry, ‘I split with my wife one month after birth because our relationship tanked.’ Drives me nuts. Your child’s mother is going through hell with hormones and no sleep. Deal with it.”
Spending Money On Cam Girls
“But if I donate $100, she might say my name! It’s so embarrassing.”
“Do we need to rebrand not falling in love with a stripper for the modern age?”
“I found out he spent $1000 on a single OF girl over the last year and repeatedly tried to treat her like a therapist and sent her pictures of our cat.”
Lazy Dads
“Just because your infant calms down faster with mom doesn’t mean you stop trying.”
“The proud ‘I never changed a diaper’ so-called fathers and husbands. I’ve changed about 3000 diapers in my life. It’s the bare minimum, fellas. Help your partner and be a dad!”
“Infant would calm down if it actually got used to its own (loving) father.”
Sizing One-another Up
“This unspoken act of who is the more ‘alpha’ guy (barf). It happens a lot. You can feel it in their body language, tone of voice and implicit behaviors, and it’s awkward and exhausting.”
“Let me comfortably make my way through this space without all these pretenses and social hierarchy weighing me down, please.”
Distrust Of Other Men
“Being unfriendly towards other men in social situations is rife. I’ve said ‘hi’ to dudes at bars when I am alone, and I always get the cold shoulder. I don’t get it.”
“Sadly, the majority of the men I notice in social situations are stand-offish and very territorial. Can’t we relax and stop tensing our muscles?”
Not Teaching Their Sons About Emotions
“Emotions are physical. They are part and parcel of being biological creatures. Some dads train their boys to believe that having emotions is wrong. They describe women as “emotional” as if that’s a problem.”
“When they’re sad, don’t tell them to “man up.” Being tough is not as important as being honest with themselves.”
Using The Urinal Next To Mine
“That’s why I always compliment the guy on his wristwatch to put him at ease.”
“Especially if you’re an adult; don’t go stand right next to a kid. They hate it and find it super uncomfortable. Give the little guys some room; they’re still in training.”
“There’s an unspoken rule that you always go to the urinal that’s the furthest distance from everyone else.”
Inappropriate Comments About Women
“Talking about women they see in the nastiest of ways is gross. Chill out, bro; yes, she was cute, but I don’t need to hear the inhumane stuff you would do to her in bed.”
“I can’t have a conversation with my male co-workers without their eyes drifting away to ogle at every barely legal woman in the vicinity and making a comment about her.”
Defending Creeps / Rapists
“You suddenly realize just what a guy is like when someone he admires is involved in a sexual misconduct scandal.”
“They instantly flip from “If I had a daughter, I’d be in prison for murdering the first guy who broke her heart” to “Well, she was wearing quite a short skirt.”
Saying “A Real Man Would”
“A real man wouldn’t be a jerk, thinks before acting, and thinks about others. Sometimes that means NOT charging in and breaking people because you’re strong.”
“A man is an adult male. Whether he’s a respectful person or a murderous pedophile makes no difference to that fact. ‘Real man’ also has a sexist undertone, like men should be held to a standard that women can’t attain.”
Trying To ‘Teach’ Me To Be A Man
“I had friends that had an “I’ll make a man out of you” kind of mindset. Apparently, I didn’t live up to their misogynistic standards; they thought having ‘getting laid’ as your only life goal was a good thing, and being toxic as all was the way to get there.”
Aggressive Driving
“For most people, driving is the most dangerous thing we do on a daily basis; it would be nice if everyone on the road respected that fact.”
“I used to do this because a part of me hoped I would die in a fireball, and everyone would assume it was a tragic accident (rather than trying to impress people). Either way, it was an incredibly selfish thing to do.”
