29 Revealing Answers To “What Is Something That Men Do That Lets You Know They’re Insecure About Their Masculinity?”

First sign of a toxic relationship.

That is controlling behaviour. He’s more than just insecure.

Toxic

No woman should put up with it. It's a massive red flag.

Any kind of controlling behavior is abuse. Shortly after the ring went on my finger my ex suddenly decided it was inappropriate for me to hug any male who wasn't a blood relative - my best friend was a guy and I'll hug him any time I f*****g feel like it, thank you very much. Also, I apparently laughed to loud (??) and my skirts were too short. Um, what? I have always dressed conservatively, but I guess showing your knees is considered "lewd". WTF? I was like HAVE YOU MET ME? He lasted less than a year.

Any man using the term 'Alpha Male' to describe themselves needs to be avoided at all costs. I refer to myself as an 'Omega Male', then I've no expectations to live up to. I just get on with life.

Yes, its crazy how many people mispronounce MUPPET and say alpha

I saw a fellow panda say a few days ago that Alphas don't actually exist in wolf packs, and they're just the parents of the group.

Same for anyone talking about how smart they are. Smart people don't brag about it.

What does it mean if I tell my husband he is an alpha male when he brings me soup when I am sick dressed up my old Halloween nurse outfit?

My wife and I do this, but as a joke.... When the bill comes one of us will usually say "don't worry, I got this" even though we have a joint account.

Lmao.... as if the server wouldn't see name on card and figure out its her card and not his

Oh yeah, that's an instant dumping. Not only so insecure about himself and his role in the relationship that he has to publicly assert 'dominance' but does it by lying rather than by, say, actually getting a better job if salary means that much to him.

My wife and I share everything. Including our bank account. Doesn't matter who pulls their card out, the money comes from the same place.

I make about three times what my husband does so I pretty much always pay. My dad got upset and was like "He should be paying for things. Your money is your money." Like sure, let me down grade my house, car, and favorite venues so we can live off my husband's salary. Every time the check comes they give the bill to him. My husband isn't insecure about it though. Our difference is salary is largely because I got very lucky early on and landed a job in a department where I was able to move up very quickly while I was still in school. He was working through school too but at as a cook and so he was taking entry level office jobs while I was already in management.

What happened in the last few months... so many people posting stupid comments and so many downvotes everywhere

@Anthony, So being a "simp", in your words, is just respecting women and giving them the same rights they we deserve? I pity you.

that's dumb again depending on situation but most of the time why not

Males who act this way are referred to as "boys" by the way. Not men.

simp alert

For me this is all about intention. I believe that couples (whether they are sexually active or not) should be able to have an open discussion about their sexual past for a great number of reasons. However if it is done with the intention of shaming someone, again, that's abuse, not insecurity.

It's never his business, and this is not an appropriate question to ask another adult, ever. Unless a person is a virgin, it's a safe bet that they have had sex in their prior relationships. A guy asking this is a creep with double standards. He will be fine with his prior sexual experience, but not yours. Throw the whole man away.

I agree with elStiJneriNO, this is not a red flag, this is being responsible with regards to STD's, STI's and VD's.

I never give a number and I never will - If my now husband had requested I get tested, I would happily do that - but what, who and how many I have done prior to meeting him is none of his goddamned business...

Not be his concern. Dump him like the load he is.

A lot of people are confusing abuse, sexism, stupidity and ignorance for insecurity.

Similar to when the girl earns more. If he insists on being better at everything and can't stand it being different in at least one aspect of life ... run

Because everything is about HIM.

I get jealous.

That is 99% of men isn't it?

true no just kidding lol

black male mantra. ALL Black Women are responsible for bm problems, not bm.

What if my husband always blames me? He broke a glass the other day, looks up at me and goes "Your fault." I asked him how it way my fault and he said, "Because you put it in a place I was likely to break it." I responded "I put it on the table.". He said "Yeah, you have to put things where I can't reach them, like on the ceiling, you should really be more responsible."
