Men...Just Who Exactly Are You Trying To Impress?

horndave · January 2012

Me personally? No one but myself and the people I love. I have reached a stage in my life were I honestly don't care what people other than that think of me.

The behaviour you describe however isn't a facet of being a man more than it is a measure of being immature or unsure of yourself. Only under confident people feel the need to put others down in order to make themselves feel or look better.

This, you are hanging out with boys. Men don't do that.

I've been married for 10 years so I'm beyond trying to impress anyone...except clients. However, I have a daughter and one thing I will tell her about any potential SO is watch how they treat people in general. Of course they'll be nice to you. However, if they're a jerk to a waitress, air cap, stangers in passing etc, chances are their true colors will eventually be turned on you. And if I ever hear of my son acting like that. We're going to have a talk.

MEN don't act like that. And as I get older I catch myself telling boys that they're not behaving properly...regardless of their age. Yes, I'm going to be THAT old guy.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic, funny, or serious. Hard to tell with text :huh: But the truth is, I am sad to say, yes, some women do like guys like that. I am ashamed that women have become portrayed like that, but I suppose it's our own fault.

Sarcasm. I was always the nice guy in the friends zone behind the *kitten* getting the girl! HA!

I don't know how to explain this, but "Most" guys do not act that way.

You could say "Many" guys act that way, but you specifically stated a majority.

Perhaps if you had been a little more careful with your wording less men would have been offended.

By the way, with all of the trouble that you have gone to in this post, I have to ask, "Just Who Exactly Are You Trying To Impress?"
