A man’s personality and character can be revealed by his behavior. It’s crucial to be aware of and avoid toxic behavior traits in men. A user asked the forum, “What screams “I’m a man-child” but nobody realizes it?”. Let’s read the top responses.
NOT VALIDATING OTHER’S EMOTIONS
“Their explosive emotions are valid (even when exaggerated), but yours are never, and you’re just dramatic.”
NOT APOLOGIZING
“Never apologizing. Never being wrong.”
IGNORING ALL THEIR MORALS TO DO SOMETHING THEY DESIRE
“They have extremely strict morals and principles, and citing them will get them out of doing something. They will drop all morals and principles when ignoring them will get them out of doing something.”
NOT PERFORMING BASIC DOMESTIC TASKS
“Not learning how to perform basic domestic tasks like laundry, dishes, etc. If they make an active decision not to learn those things, it just tells me they want a mommy and not a partner.”
LACK EMPATHY
“They talk at people without listening or sense of empathy and get quick to anger when called out.”
REFERRING TO WATCHING THEIR OWN KIDS AS BABYSITTING
“When he refers to watching his own kids as babysitting or acts like it’s a favor.”
HATING A PET
“I am currently moving out of the apartment I share with my boyfriend because he is jealous of my dog (the one I had for years before we started dating). It started off with little things and has escalated to the dog needing to be in a cage 24/7, or I get the silent treatment. Good riddance.”
LACK OF RESPECT FOR OTHERS
“Lack of respect for people doing things for them, even when paid. Being short or rude to servers/staff, not saying thank you and please, etc. Thankfully, this is usually easy to spot on first dates.”
NOT OWNING UP TO THEIR MISTAKES
“Everybody but the man-child in question will notice this. Never owning up to your mistakes, and constantly blaming someone/something else for them.”
NOT CLEARING THE GARBAGE
“Not taking out your garbage for weeks on end when you live in an apartment building, even when the weather gets REALLY hot and your trash stinks so badly that simply walking into the building is like being hit in the face with a decomposing corpse.”
AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR
“He breaks stuff and punches holes in walls over things, doesn’t even matter how big or small the trigger. The immediate signal is that he’s a man-child and incapable of regulating himself and his emotions.
Edit: I see some people defend this behavior or argue semantics. If a man is constantly showing aggressive behavior to the point of breaking things or is someone who defends this behavior, ya, I’d say both are massive red flags.”
SEEKING VALIDATION
“Constantly seeking the validation of multiple people that are the gender they’re attracted to. Nothing screams insecurity like needing a bunch of people to fawn over you.”
PUTTING OTHER MEN DOWN
“Putting other men down for liking books or video games while they obsess over sports, fast and the furious, and cars. Everyone has a hobby, and we all have things we enjoy. Liking video games or books doesn’t make you any less of a man.
Acting like watching sports makes you manly always seems like a projection to me. How is a guy sitting on watching football games all weekend any better than another guy sitting on reading books or playing video games all weekend? It’s the same thing.”
REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
“Refusing to take accountability and be responsible to your own family. Example: your children.”
BEING WORRIED ABOUT THEIR WIFE GAINING WEIGHT
“When they are worried about their wife/girlfriend putting on a bit of weight because it will affect how they look to their mates for ‘dating a fatty,’ while they are cultivating their third chin.
Edited for clarity: Many people seemed to think I was equating being concerned for your girlfriend’s health with child behavior. It’s not.”
