25 ‘Manly’ Things Guys Do That Are Actually Really Annoying

6.

My most recent boyfriend would be loving behind closed doors, but in front of his friends would tease me and would joke around in a hurtful way (but he’s just kidding HAHA…) because he’s a MAN and bitches ain’t shit or whatever he was trying to demonstrate to his boys. I brought it up multiple times but he continued to act disrespectfully toward me and I eventually broke up with him. Like, wouldn’t you treat your girl like she was somebody you were PROUD to be with? Even his friends seemed embarrassed for me, and don’t get me wrong I can take a joke, but at some point it’s not joking anymore.

“Bro, you call those burgers? When I was snowboarding down the volcanos of Hawaii with Chuck Norris, we cooked burger four times that size.”

8.

Bragging about wealth. It’s very lame when you hear a dude bragging about being “upper middle class.” Especially when they’re just the typical broke college student pretending for attention.

9.

When they argue over something they don’t know about. I don’t understand how can they sound so confident even if they have no clue, and it makes them look dumb AND stubborn.

10.

I have an ex that would make me walk a few paces behind him because “he was the man, and was leading me.” Also if I would speak up about something in public he would shoot me dagger eyes to quiet me. Fuck that guy.
