Every guy has met “that guy.” You know, the one who can’t help but make you cringe with his questionable behavior. While we’re all far from perfect, there are some habits that are universally annoying among men. So, here’s a list of 18 things that men can’t stand about other men. Let’s dive into these cringe-worthy habits and see if we can all agree to do better.
The Relentless Braggart
There are few things more obnoxious than the guy who can’t stop talking about himself. Constant bragging makes you seem self-centered and arrogant. It’s no wonder that people don’t want to be around you when you act like you’re the most important person in the world. Modesty is key, so instead of talking about how great you are, show some genuine interest in others.
The Unapologetic Cheater
Some guys seem to think cheating is a badge of honor, something to brag about to their friends. But cheating is a betrayal of trust, and it’s not something to be proud of. Asking other men to keep your secret because of the so-called “bro code” is just as bad. Ultimately, honesty and respect in relationships are far more important than trying to impress your friends.
Always Angry on the Road
Road rage is a serious problem, and men are often the culprits. Getting angry at other drivers, yelling, or making rude gestures won’t make traffic move faster. Everyone has places to be and things to do. Instead of getting frustrated and aggressive, stay calm and patient on the road. You’ll find that your driving experience will be much more pleasant.
Thinks He’s an “Alpha”
If you’re the kind of guy who feels the need to declare yourself an “alpha” or a “nice guy”, chances are you’re neither. It’s far better to let your actions speak for themselves. True confidence doesn’t need to be announced; it’s evident in how you treat others and how you handle yourself in different situations. So, forget about labels and focus on being a genuinely good person.
Who Can’t Take a Joke
We all know that guy who can’t take a joke and always has to be the tough guy. They see every playful comment as a challenge to their dominance and respond with hostility. They can’t seem to understand that letting loose and having a laugh is okay. Instead of ruining the mood for everyone, try to relax and enjoy the moment.
The Guy Who Makes Everything a Competition
There’s a time and a place for friendly banter and competition, but not everyone is in the mood for it all the time. Especially not when it’s coming from a stranger. If you don’t know someone well, there’s no need to try and one-up them with competitive banter. Be polite and respectful, and you’ll find that people are likelier to enjoy your company.
Can’t Respect Boundaries
No means no, period. Whether it’s on the dance floor, in a conversation, or in any other situation, if someone says no or shows that they’re not interested, respect their boundaries. Nobody likes the guy who keeps pushing and trying from every angle when it’s clear they’re not wanted. Show some respect and move on.
Emotional Openness Equals Weakness
Some men seem to think that showing emotions is a sign of weakness. But the truth is that everyone has emotions, and it’s okay to talk about them. Just because a guy is emotionally open doesn’t mean he’s any less of a man. Let’s support each other and break down the stigma around men’s mental health.
The Guy Who Only Wants to Talk About One Thing
It’s frustrating when you have much in common with someone, but they only want to discuss the one thing you disagree on. It’s like they’re trying to find a reason to argue. Instead of focusing on differences, why not appreciate what you have in common and enjoy a pleasant conversation?
He Needs to Be a Jerk to Get Women
Some men think they’ve got to be rude or arrogant to get women’s attention. But that’s just not true. In fact, being good at something, being funny, or simply asking questions can go a long way. There’s no secret formula to getting women to like you, so just be yourself and treat others with respect.
Only Values Women for Their Looks
It’s disheartening when some men only seem to value women for their looks or physical attributes. Women are so much more than just their appearance, and they deserve to be treated with respect and consideration. Get to know them as people, not just as objects of desire.
Obsessed with Discussing Intimacy
While sex is a natural part of life, but it shouldn’t be the only thing you ever discuss. Constantly bringing up the topic can make others feel uncomfortable and put off. There’s so much more to life and relationships than just physical intimacy. Focus on building real connections and having meaningful conversations.
Who Thinks He’s a Relationship Expert
There are many self-proclaimed “dating coaches” on YouTube and Twitch, and it’s hard to know who to trust. Just because someone calls themselves an expert doesn’t mean they have all the answers. Instead of blindly following advice from strangers online, trust your instincts and do what feels right for you.
Disrespects Women When They’re Not Around
There are men who think it’s okay to make derogatory or overly sexual comments about women when they’re not around. But respect for people should extend to when they’re not there to listen. If you wouldn’t say something to someone’s face, it’s probably best not to say it at all. Keep that motto in mind.
Making Misogynistic Comments
It’s hard to be friends with guys who only make misogynistic comments about women and act like “getting intimate” is the ultimate goal in life. There’s so much more to life than just pursuing physical relationships. Look for deeper connections and more meaningful goals than simply chasing after the next hot thing.
Hobbies Are Unmanly
It’s time to stop criticizing men for enjoying hobbies like knitting or baking. Just because a guy likes something traditionally seen as “feminine” doesn’t mean he’s any less of a man. Let people enjoy their hobbies without judgment, and you might even discover some new interests yourself.
Gets Aggressive Over Small Things
Accidents happen. If someone bumps into you and apologizes, there’s no need to get aggressive and start a fight. It was just an accident, and there’s no harm done. Instead of getting angry, try to stay calm and accept the apology. This way, you’ll find that plenty more people want to be your friend!
Hypocritical About Men’s Mental Health
It’s frustrating when some men talk about the importance of men’s mental health but then turn around and make fun of others for showing emotion. Let’s be consistent in our support for each other and stop the hypocrisy. Men’s mental health matters and it’s time we discussed it more.
