‘I’m a guy, but in general I’d say ANY flex makes you look dumb. Nothing is cooler than being humble about your success, skill, etc.’

‘Talking about how easily they could ‘fuck someone up’ to show us you’re a protector. All it telegraphs is that you 1) probably can’t and 2) are the kind of dumbass who will unnecessarily escalate situations. A protector carries themselves in such a way as to never make talking it necessary and is also intelligent enough to get us out of the situation before violence becomes necessary.’

‘Acknowledging their own body count as if it’s a badge of honour. I’m a man, makes no difference if you slept with 100 women. You just look like an asshole with no respect for who gave you their time.’

‘Not knowing how to do basic tasks like cooking or cleaning. You don’t look like a masculine alpha, you look like a dependant child.’

‘Driving recklessly, and road rage. Sorry you’re not impressing me, you’re embarrassing and gonna get us killed.’

‘How much they can drink before passing out. Why would you even do that?’
–GYUUSE

‘Acting like you’re less of a man if you dress nicely and fix your hair and overall appearance.’

‘Trucks that you need to jump to get into, that are good for nothing but plowing into smaller cars, animals, and children. My uncle had a literal extending stepladder installed on his truck that he might take to WalMart once or twice a week. It’s embarrassing.’
