Being kind, treating others with dignity, and respecting others’ boundaries—this sounds like common sense to many people. It’s how any civil and self-confident individual ought to behave. Unfortunately, common sense is in short supply at times… as is basic politeness.

One internet user asked the men of the r/AskReddit online community to open up and share the obvious red flags that they’ve noticed in other men. The question started an in-depth discussion about toxic masculinity, and we’ve collected some of the most egregious examples of it. Scroll down for a crash course on how to never treat other human beings.

#1

Being a modern day Republican in the US. If he votes in favor of diminishing human rights, how do you think your relationship will go? Does he truly respect women if he is Ok with the removal of bodily autonomy? Will he respect your future kids if they are homosexual or transgender? I get that people change, but I would never set a girlfriend of mine up with someone I know to be republican.

I haven't voted for any Republicans in a long time. I always considered myself a right of center independent. Which means I am a full blown leftist now. For all the talk of liberals being communists I don't see a lot of soviet flags or Mao banners... on the right I do see a lot of nazi flags, confederate flags, etc. If you can march or align yourself with them, you are not on the good side.

Get real ... Democrats and Republicans both suck. They're two different sides of the same filthy coin, and to think otherwise is to expose your own biases. We need the rise of a 3rd party ASAP!

Stop with both-isms. Democrats policy platform is to help EVERYONE (aside from the elites who already have enough everything). The republican side meanwhile wants the US to become a dictatorship to Trump. One side literally tried to overthrow the government. The worst thing Dems have going for them is their disorganization (which they have slowly been fixing). If you truly think "both sides" are just as bad, then you are just plain ignorant of facts. Facts don't care about your feelings or political views. Remember when on Live TV Trump asked Russia to interfere in the election? Remember when Trump refused to condemn white supremacy/Nazism? Remember Jan. 6th? Remember the fake elector plot? Remember the 4 years long congressional committee Trump created to look into voter fraud? They spent 4 years and millions of dollars to discover Voter Fraud is basically non-existent. And yet he still went/goes on about "voter fraud"! The man LITERALLY had the vocabulary of an 8 yo. Look it up!

The polarization has affected USA like cancer. About half the country votes Democrat, about half votes Republican. If you can only think of the other side as "communist" and "nazi", then the social discourse has broken down. Stop spreading hate and talk to the other side. Ask them about their believes and motivations. You might find them more rational and compassionate than you give them credit for (at least most of them). If you flee to your own camp, there is only one outcome possible; violence. Stop this madness!

"Half" the country doesn't vote Republican considering there's both significantly more registered Dems AND since '92, the only time the GOP won the popular vote was in '04 which was more about Kerry's weakness than Bush's strength, plus that's still not counting the ex-GOP who became Independents since at least '08 out of disgust for what the GOP's become. That "Both Sides" c**p only made too many people unprepared/complacent for the Trumps, DeSantises, etc. that both reflect and reinforce said toxicity and Trumpers have made it ADAMANTLY clear the GOP is becoming/already *is* a white supremacist/fascist party be it the Tiki Torch Boys, hosting Orban, the book bans, the anti-voter measures and literally trying to LYNCH the VP for not doing what he legally wasn't capable of doing as the Trump-led mob tried to kill the entire line of succession! Trumps have been given PLENTY of opportunities to express their thoughts, beliefs, etc. so there's no "mistaking" what they're about 🙄

I'm reminded of Charlotte Clymer at a party when a guy randomly came up to her insisting, "I vote Republican, but I'm liberal" as he *clearly* wanted her to "absolve" him of his guilt as a transwoman despite the obvious fact that he's explicitly voting for the policies and politicians who see her very human rights and very existence as invalid. And TOO. MANY. people here are falling into the same weak "Both Sides" narrative that's a big reason why we're in the political mess that we've been in for years now as Republicans are removing human rights right and left, banning books, caping for a mob that LITERALLY TRIED TO KILL THE ENTIRE LINE OF SUCCESSION and more yet, "bOtH aRe bAd!" 🙄😒🤨

What am I supposed to say to you when you vote for a person who thinks a 10 year old who was raped by her father should be forced to carry the child to term?

All these people that are downvoting everyone for saying that both sides suck, or that there needs to be a third party (when really there should never have been parties to begin with) or that people can identify as republican or democrat and not agree with all the stereotypical beliefs... Y'all realize you're part of the problem right? There was a time when most people identified as moderate, and people could exist happily as friends with someone with an opposing view point. But social media, the government and the news have us so polarized that we consider everyone to be all or nothing and hate each other for beliefs that the other may not even have. Fact is all politicians, especially at the federal level, are corrupt. And both sides are plenty happy to see us at each others throats and not actually doing anything to stop the corruption because the "opposing party" is a perfect scapegoat. But sure, keep the status quo with your self-righteousness.

    The best part? The whole 'alpha' thing is based on incorrect data. The alpha wolf myth was based on studies of wolves IN CAPTIVITY. So it was basically wolf prison behavior. In REAL wolf packs, the alpha is the father. His job is to make sure his pack (which are all family) is fed and safe and happy. So that guy with the waistpack full of snacks making sure his kids and his friends are eating and drinking enough? That is the truest alpha male.

    Exactly. If you call YOURSELF that it's just 😬, but if a woman who is kind, compassionate, and tolerant, and probably liberal, calls you an alpha male, the "Father of the pack" kind of behaviour is what is meant.

    The blame goes right straight to the heart of the 'modern' definition of "dating!' To date is to court , to get to know someone as a person. To find out that persons beliefs, culture, likes and dislikes. To learn all about that person as someone you may want to love, spend your life with to maybe raise a family together ... not a forgettable, one time, sex object. Todays youth are showing great disregard for their own well-being and futures, by using sex as a casual, feel good toy. That shows ignorance, foolishness and a very destructive, dangerous lifestyle. If you want nothing but sex, go buy it! Never make promises of 'love' just to get sex. That's selfish, cruel & heartless.

    The redditors revealed some of the most hurtful aspects of toxic masculinity they spied in other men, whether they were their friends or casual acquaintances. It’s the kind of behavior that is very obviously a red flag and would make practically anyone think hard about whether that’s the kind of company they’d like to keep. 

    Some of the most awful examples included guys who would constantly criticize their family, men who’d make fun of others (but couldn’t stand being the butt of jokes), uncontrollable flirts, and anyone not in control of their temper. Other red flags that caught people’s attention included guys who would never apologize, were arrogant, and trampled over other folks’ privacy and boundaries.

    For one thing, it's a numbers game. If you get obsessively focused on one woman you will miss the subtle (and not so subtle signs from others). And that's assuming they aren't turned off because you're ignoring them in favour of whoever your unattainable crush happens to be. If your crush doesn't reciprocate, get over it, move on and try to find someone else. Sooner or later you'll find someone you mesh with.

    And any other gender????

    At its core, toxic masculinity is the dark side of manliness and negatively impacts other people. According to WebMD, guys who embrace toxic masculinity are often homophobic, sexually aggressive toward women, violent, and promiscuous.

    Moreover, proponents of toxic masculinity have a deep need for control and ‘dominate’ everyone around them, including their romantic partners. A 2017 report ‘The Man Box’ found that 46% of men ‘deserved’ to know where their partners were at all times.

    We had a guy who brought his dates to our restaurant. He was a barfly that was always there. Anyway, his power move was to complain and send his food back. We would then put it on a new plate and send it back out... he never noticed. What a douchebag.

    It’s simply because it’s quite strong drink if made properly and even if not made properly the list of ingredients lean towards tough guy masculinity type of person. You’ve got the 5 white spirits and people think “Yeah! That’ll get me twatted!” And quite often if they don’t know what they’re dealing with they will be legless sooner or later and on their way down they will definitely have at least 30 minutes of being an unbearable plonker. I used to order LIIT as a shot, a bit like tequila hold the coke and give me a slice of lemon. My memory is hazy but I am probably guilty of being a plonker every now and then. Not touched a drop in years though thankfully. Hasn’t change my life but at least I know if I’m being a plonker.

    Fireball is associated with college students. Hennessy is a cheaper whiskey that sounds expensive. Patron is name dropping, and a LI has every clear liquor in it so it's just a way to get drunk fast. I'm guessing at these.

    Personally I don't refer to any of my exes that way, however I used to be exceptionally good at attracting crappy people. Probably the kindest thing I ever did for myself was to stop dating and start working on my self-esteem. It's really lonely sometimes especially because I'm at the age where people's children are getting older and hitting milestones but since my last one ended with me contemplating a restraining order and self-harm due to his behaviour giving me panic attacks, I know it's for the best. So if you know someone who is generally super quiet or a pushover/ struggles with mental health issues and they are repeatedly complaining about their relationships, try and encourage them to see if the problem might be that they are getting with anyone willing to ask them out.

    Toxic men also often refuse to help out with the housework because they think it’s unmanly. Instead, they view household chores as something that only women ought to do. Around a fifth of American men believe they shouldn’t have to help out at home at all, according to ‘The Man Box’ report. The same report noted that just over a fifth of men thought that they should “use violence to get respect.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Some guys also frown upon men who show their emotions because they consider that to be a sign of weakness. However, this is a very dangerous perspective because it makes men less likely to ask for help if they’re struggling with mental or physical health issues. 

    Meanwhile, a man who is perfectly comfortable in his own skin and an example of healthy masculinity is someone who embraces his emotions, isn’t afraid of his own feminine aspects, and self-reflects on his actions. He’s also respectful of other people’s boundaries and doesn’t mind other people challenging his opinions.

It's all well and good if he's polite and nice towards a waitress who's attractive but try pay closer attention to how he treats those he doesn't see in that same way and see if you can spot a stark difference!

    It entirely depends on the woman's age at the start of the relationship. A 40 year old man dating an 18 year old girl? Definitely questionable. A 50 year old man with a 30 year old woman? More likely to be an equitable, balanced relationship.

    This one is massive generalization. Beware of people who ONLY date significantly younger girls/boys. Like I've almost exclusively dated older woman. But by your logic, if I was to date someone much younger, that suddenly means I'm controlling?! There are much better red flags to look out for, for controlling/manipulative people. Like not letting you see your friends, or be alone ever. Or they have to snoop through your phone constantly. Those are much more realistic flags to look for, as opposed to the age difference between the two (or three if they Poly... Lol). That gap is quite literally just a number. What's wrong with a 60yo and 90yo dating each other?

    This obsession with age gap relationships is incredibley sexist against women. Imagine telling a 22 year old women she is too young to commit to being a mother or buying a house; everyone would rightly call you sexist. But if she decides to date a 50 year old man, immediately she is too young and immature to choose that so he must be taking advantage of her...

    2 consenting adults deciding to have a relationship? This is not something anyone else should judge. If there’s an age gap, or they’re from the same sex, or they are mixed race or whatever. It’s not anyone elses business. Maybe we sholud start evaluating our relationship in regards of how people treat, love and respect each other and leave our judgements aside. Let people be happy the way they choose.

    Joe Rogan is not even on the same planet as Tate. What the heck is this comment? I agree with the other poster that most criticism comes from people who NEVER listen to his podcasts. Sure he has some dumb views on vaccines, but that is such a minor thing that he actually talks about and some very interesting guests. And he does a great job of helping to dissect some complex topics for people and asks very good questions. And at the end of the day he’s a comedian with opinions. Some are dumb. It doesn’t make him toxic mysogynist rapist like Tate.

    This is absurd bias against Joe Rogan. Obviously works at CNN. I don’t agree with everything he says. No one does about anyone. But this is so absurd and clearly bandwagoning form months ago. I don’t know who Andrew Tate is. Nor do I care. But I regularly listen to Rogans podcast. Everything negative I see printed is utter nonsense. And clear they don’t listen to the podcast at all. But instead just assumes what they’re reading or hearing is true.

The lioness is the boss, she hunts for food, gives birth, raises, feeds & protects her cubs… Leo is lazy … unless he's threatened. He just waits around for the lioness to provide, then come in heat again… then the circle of life begins all over again. Leo lives longer than his lioness'… then he just gets a new one.

    I think this is contextual, for example if you're the new guy (or girl) in an office you'll need to earn respect and tend to get the grunt jobs to start. Calling that the natural order is not unrealistic or unreasonable. It's only problematic if it's used to justify some form of bigotry or discrimination. Like if two new people start in the office and the girl has to "get the coffee" while the guy gets groomed for a sales role.

    Trying to break your hand with the handshake when they meet you. I prefer a firm handshake, but when they're squeezing so hard you can feel your bones and tendons move and your hand hurts afterward, that's just ridiculous. It's just machismo b******t to exert dominance by way of physical pain. Last guy that did it to me (it was at work) I just straight called him out right there. "Oh, so youre one of those hard handshake guys? Why do you do that?" As I shake the pain out of my hand. Was a very awkward professional relationship afterward but he never f****d with me.

    I (60f) was taught by my Dad to always have a firm handshake so men knew I wasn't someone to be taken lightly. It came in handy since I worked in male dominated industries most of my life. Men are always surprised when I give them a firm grip instead of some wimpy little "woman" handshake. Almost all of them commented on it. And almost all of them showed me respect as a result.

Really struggled to deal with guys I thought were my friends doing this when I was younger. It’s like a switch goes off in them when attractive women are around and all bets are off. Also not making an effort to be friends or even just nice be to people that don’t have anything to offer them. There are plenty of guys at my job that only talk to guys their age or attractive women, like if they can’t hangout or date them they’re not worth interacting with.

    That last part needs some context. We don't have unlimited free time, we can only talk with so many people in a day. So it would make sense to prioritize people similar to you, or that you are interested in. Now if you mean that trash talk them, and blow off when they say hi to them in the halls, then yeah I agree. Just because someone doesn't talk to you, doesn't mean they are bad people.

    I wondered if this one was going to come up. As a guy it's a pet peeve when you have a male friend that actively hinders your attempts to interact with a woman. They don't need to be a wingman, but when you've told them you're interested in a woman and they actively try to sabotage you in front of her it's disgusting. Maybe it'd be acceptable if they told you she was wrong for you and they were trying to stop you making a mistake, but usually it's because they can't stand another guy getting attention, even if they have a wife/girlfriend of their own.

I remember a few nights out that ended early for me so that he could spend time with them. He also went through a Tate phase though this was before Tate was a thing. At least now he's changed a lot and isn't the same person at as before, even if he's still single.

    It also means he pribably has no sense of responsibility, in anything. My ex-husband was like that. We've been divorced for 28 years now, and since I never changed my last name back to my birth name, I still get occasional phone calls from attorneys/collection agencies about loans he owes money on. Way back when we were first divorced, and I got one of those calls, I would get on his case about it. He always had an excuse......even used the passing of his great-grandmother once to distract me from the discussion that was about him not paying things he'd agreed to pay for. Now he's completely off the grid, no doubt in an effort to avoid bill collectors. Hopefully calls to me will not be a thing anymore, either, but I'm not holding my breath. It isn't just the negativity that will drain you!

    There was a guy wearing a "lions not sheep" shirt at a concert. I went up to him and said, 'man you must be the only one with this shirt, right?' He didn't get the joke

    A bit subtler but it's an inability to talk about their positions in any depth. Like a lot of guys know that their opinions turn off women, but instead of changing them or asking why, they just spout off some rehearsed line. If he can't explain why he's pro-choice in any meaningful depth? Likely a red flag.

    Inability to even playfully be mocked. In a weird twist of fate, some of the most serious people out there are the easiest to laugh at. How they don't realize the levity involved in talking s**t is incredible. These types are often first to swing, too, which is a disgusting attribute IMO.

    My friends and I are constantly lightheartedly teasing each other. If it gets too intense, we communicate. Otherwise, I'll make fun of them and they'll make fun of me and it's all chill. A lot of it is just us pretending to be Andrew Tate stans or stereotypical far rightists/stereitypical gay people and imo its actually hilarious

    I wouldn't necessarily consider this a red flag, but women should be cautious around men who receive a lot of attention from women. The more attention someone gets the more likely they are to be narcissistic. Though one that's a clear red flag is if he's just never single

    I was narcissistic long before I started getting a lot of attention from women. In fact, it was the attention from women that considerably humbled me. Turned the narcissism to self reflection, and later self acceptance.

    Do you realise that even using "gay as f**k" in that context is already being disparaging and insulting? As is the idea that you'd 'joke' about someone being gay in such a way as to challenge them. No Adult Man should really give a toss is anyone is or is not gay, least of all be upset by the idea that someone is 'accusing' them of it.

However, I’m assuming they’re not talking about real pit vipers, so instead I shall jest and say it is very tragic that all these snakes are needlessly suffering. Don’t attack the people wearing dead ones! Attack the ones torturing live ones!
