We talk a lot about men disappointing men and the other way around. But what about experiences men can have only with men?
Here are the top ways a man can hurt a man
THROWN UNDER THE BUS FOR WOMEN
“Being thrown under the bus by other men to appeal to women or some petty stupidity. Not supporting one another.”
STANDING NEXT TO YOU AT URINAL
“The guy that stands next to you at the urinal when there’s plenty of other room, then tries to start a conversation.”
GIVING STUPID EXCUSES
“Trying to get all your guy friends together for an extended weekend, giving lots of notice and making well-thought-out plans…. Just for them to systematically bail one by one with some pitiful excuses. Hurts more when they were all for it beforehand too.”
SECRETS ABOUT ORIENTATION
“You find out that a life-long friend is gay and realize that he never made a pass at you.
… or, on the flip side, having to suppress your attraction to a friend because you know he’s straight.”
INSULTING YOU FOR BEING MACHO
“While I despise macho attitude and culture, I love insulting my best friends. We compete in who can come up with the most creative insult. It’s fun.”
PRIORITISING GIRLFRIENDS
“When a male friend you truly cared about and considered a close friend slowly starts to fade because he starts prioritizing his girlfriend. And then, before you know it, they cease to exist in your life as they slowly build their new life. Hurts, man.”
MAKE YOU “FEEL LESS THAN”
“Being made to “feel as less than” for legit reasons: you’re not successful personally or professionally; being short, unattractive, etc. Deep down, you know they’re right, so you feel powerless. We’re pack animals, and there’s a pecking order, and when you’re made to feel at the bottom, it cuts deep.
HOOKING UP WITH YOUR EX
“When you break up with a partner, and a few months down the line, your best mate hooks up with her…not cool, bro.”
MAKING YOU FEEL LIKE A THIRD WHEEL
“When you invite a friend to do something, just the 2 of you, and without telling you, they bring their other friend. Making u feel like the third wheel.”
NOT RESPONDING TO HANDSHAKES
“Not responding or not seeing the handshake offer.”
PARTICIPATING IN TIKTOKS
“When a male friend participates in his girlfriend’s TikTok dances.”
