People have a lot more in common than you might think. Sure, we’re all unique in our own small special ways, but many of the things that we do aren’t exclusive to us. You might be surprised how similar you are to the strangers you pass on the street every single day.
That’s where redditor u/Miguenzo comes in. They asked anonymous internet users to share the things that most (possibly even all) guys do but that they’d never admit to. From indulging in power fantasies to crying when sad, you’ll find these men’s honest thoughts as you scroll down.

We love being cuddled. I look like a stereotypical tough guy and know some martial arts but damn, a cuddle from my girlfriend is just the best. Personally, I don't mind revealing that I love cuddles but I know a lot of dudes don't wanna admit that
As a woman, I prefer to be the big spoon so my husband isn't annoyed by my hair
Load More Replies...Cuddles are awesome. Sometimes my husband is the little spoon, but I'm much smaller than him - so really I'm more of a backpack. 😂
Broooooo nothing is better than being little spoon :3. I'll say it loud and proud, CUDDLE MEHHH
Cuddles are the best. Some of the biggest, macho, "manliest" men I've ever known are also the biggest cuddlebugs as well.
Sadly my mother stopped giving me cuddles when I reached 14 yrs of age. I feel like a piece of my soul has been shut off. Funny however my father will try his best to hug me and tickle me like my mother used to do but it feels weird as hell. No offence to my father I love him tons but it just feels weird
Btw to the dirty minds out there, when I say cuddles I mean how every parents act towards their child. Bombing them with kisses, hugs and the random playful wrestles.

Load More Replies...Repeating what others have said, this isn't unique to men and it's certainly not common to all men. If you experience suicidal ideation on a regular basis, please seek help from a mental health professional.
Me too, Frog. It's a way to feel like you're in control of one thing (our exit plan) when everything else is out of our control. Don't feel guilt about this. I'm glad you have ppl you love and that love you back. 🥰🥰🥰

That little knee bend/stretch to get your balls unstuck from whatever position they magically aligned themselves Its not for our legs/knees/hips its 100% just for the balls to reposition
"Balls stuck to thigh" is legitimately one of the most uncomfortable situations ever.
Personally I don't understand how you guys put up with the entire package. But it's no wonder you guys walk different.
Load More Replies...Girls adjust their boobs and boys reposition their balls, it's just about comfort.
Don’t tell anyone but I sometimes have to do something like that when my labia get stuck outside my underwear, it ranges from a little uncomfortable to very painful when that happens.
Or when the pad adhesive wingalings get flipped around and start trying to depilate you with every step D:
Load More Replies...With 2 inches long legs, that must be a real problem for you
Load More Replies...I once had to reposition during a wedding,DURING A WEDDING AND I WAS A GROOMSMAN. I'm sorry but it had to be done and thankfully the bride thought it was hilarious when she saw the film..
That and the one foot stomp and shake. Also useful for getting your pants leg to fall back down over your boot top.
Some underwear does. Like,they have a ball-pocket built in. But if they don't or they are loose,like boxer shorts, things can wander and get out of place.
Load More Replies...Ha! Thanks for that. Now when I see a guy do a little knee bend or shimmy, I'm gonna wonder if his balls are stuck.
By far the most annoying and uncomfortable things to happen to me is my balls getting stuck under my leg/thighs or the hairs get intertwined and start pulling on each other
If nothing else, the r/AskReddit thread is bound to give you a sense of relatability. Even if someone seems like a complete stranger to you, you can be pretty certain that they behave similarly to you in their daily life.
Even if you have different lifestyles and habits, some behaviors are simply extremely human and it’s hard to avoid them. Whether that’s sinking into your daydreams, crying when you’re upset, or singing along to a song that you adore. It’s these little behaviors that unite us.
Daydream about insane scenarios that will never happen where you're the main hero that swoops in to save the day.
Common examples include things like thinking you could figure out how to land an entire airplane in an emergency, thinking about "What happens if there's a robbery and I stop the bad guy", thinking about saving someone from a burning building, thinking you could save someone's life if there's a random medical emergency, etc.
I've done this since I was a little girl, I absolutely have a savior complex. Why would anyone be afraid to admit they'd like to be a hero?
Same! I used to even draw pictures where my mom was getting her purse stolen (burglar-person in striped shirt and "raccoon"-style mask and all!) and I was saving her by... swinging my beloved stuffed German Shepherd by the tail like a flail, with the intent of apparently knocking out the mugger with a plush toy XD 35 years later, I still have that stuffed German Shepherd... haven't gotten the chance to knock out any bad guys with him yet, though XD
Load More Replies...I have to admit my daydream involves a lion. I have n't go to the zoo in nearly 12 years. But if I went, I know I'm prepared.
Jeez, can't you ladies let the men have this one? These are men's secrets.
I've daydreamed my entire life, and I've learned to express my fantasies in Garrys mod through comics and animation
I do this, but the biggest one is what if I lived in (video game)
Try to clean the toilet bowl with your pee stream
Which is the exact opposite of what you might call the person doing it.
Load More Replies...Sorry guys, but just because it's liquid doesn't mean your pee is cleaning anything.
I'm thinking that maybe they're "cleaning" poo remnants. But yeah, wrong type of ammonia for cleaning 😂
Load More Replies...No. That's not it. We we first start we have no control over where the stream is going.
Load More Replies...Hate to tell you this, but 1) body waste is not an effective cleaner (yes I know Pete contains ammonia, but that ammonia needs to be extracted and cleaned first), and 2) most guys just aren’t able to aim accurately enough to keep from making a bigger mess if they try to “clean” the bowl with their p**s, and 3) ewwww!
Surely 2) above indicates the need for more practice.
Load More Replies...I know urine is sterile, but for crying out loud DO NOT use it as a cleaning solution. Good grief
I did it for a while until my toilet started to form yellow streaks of p**s so not anymore
Pee in the shower. I could pee right before the shower in the toilet, but the second the hot water hits me, my bladder says “It’s pee time.”
I have peed in the shower all of my life (also female here.) My boyfriend is horrified that I do this. I don't understand why it's so "gross"... I'm peeing in running water, ffs XD
Load More Replies...There are two types of people. Those who pee in the shower, and dirty f*cking liars.
I actually don’t do that, but yeah I get what you mean XD
Load More Replies...There is nothing wrong with peeing in the shower and I will fight to the death on that hill, my wife lost and now does the deed...BUT one cannot poo in the shower! There will not be any waffle stomps!
That... that can't possibly be a thing, right?? I mean no judgment, but damn...
Load More Replies...When I did free diving we learnt that it’s the body’s way of naturally decompressing to adjust to being fully submersed, I had to and was encouraged to relearn how to pee in the pool
I'm afraid it doesn't (just realised I've outed myself as a shower-widdler with occasional athletes foot...charming)
Load More Replies...This sounds like something that someone who secretly pees in the shower would say.
Load More Replies...Do you put a fan on and a windiw open whenever you shower?
Load More Replies...It’s not just certain behaviors that people have in common. Many men have very similar fears and insecurities. For example, ‘Fatherly’ points out that many men are insecure about developing large breasts. Others are embarrassed about losing their hair or being too thin or too short. On the flip side, men who are taller than their peers might have issues with their height, too.
For others, it’s their situation at home and in the office that haunts them. Guys are worried about the kinds of husbands and dads they’ll turn out to be. Others are scared that they’re not where they ‘should’ be in terms of their career just yet.
Imagine your entire life with a girl you just met.
"Guy I just met" in my case... Guess us gays and straights are still alike after all.
*big breath* Got her pregnant and we're happily married with a little gremlin running around!
I'm a guy and I don't do this because I'm gay. This "all guys does it!" stereotypical b******t is so stupid.
So wait... You don't do this because you're gay? I feel like your orientation makes no difference. Like being a guy is about anyone who identifies as a guy...just chill. It's all ok.

Try to use the force. It hasn’t worked yet but maybe one day..
Every time I walk up to an automatic door, I wave my hand to use the Force to open it. Makes me giggle a little.
As a woman, same. So far it only works on doors and paper towel dispensers.
My husband does this at every single automatic door he encounters!
Nose picking is more common than anyone will admit
The nose picking is no secret. The secret is what some men do with the buggers afterwards.
Believe me, it's worse when they're not so secretive about it.
Load More Replies...LOL that nose pick first thing in the morning, freeing up your nose and finally being able to breathe. Yes :)
And score a long stringy one that cleans out the whole nostril! Glorious success!
Load More Replies...The secret is to not pick early in the morning while sitting on the toilet. Picking and wiping can be confusing while in an altered state.
Do you have some kind of trauma you'd like to share?
Load More Replies...Seriously, it's much easier to clear things up with a picking vs blowing, at least for me. But, please people, get rid of your pickings with a kleenex or something, and wash those hands afterwards.😏
When you have bad allergies (so on meds that dry up the mucous membrane) there are very seldom times when you can blow your nose at all!
Load More Replies...It’s like farting or burping. Everyone does it. Everyone poops and everyone pees. It’s OK.
Snots and clowns my two biggest, well not fears, i just can't cope with them. It freaks me out. I'm fine with baby or toddler Snot just not adults. I couldn't pick my nose if anything got on my finger I'd puke
Hey Kari, every see some one "farm it"? Plug one side and blow the other onto the ground? Grrrross!
Load More Replies...Also deeply satisfying. Just have a hanky ready. Otherwise you have to eat them
Without admitting to anything, I will say that I have read multiple studies that show people who pick their nose live longer (because cleaning it makes it work better and a finger does a better job than a tissue); and that eating it makes you love even longer (because your body gets small amounts of toxins and build immunities). So I tell my kids to try and not let people see, I don't tell them not to do it
Another common insecurity among guys is the fear that they might not be adequate enough in the bedroom, both in terms of performance and size. Meanwhile, many men who have an older understanding of masculinity might avoid showing any emotions or weaknesses at all. In their mind, any sort of vulnerability is ‘wrong.’
This desire to appear extremely macho at all times can have some negative effects on them and the people around them, however. For example, men who avoid talking about their mental health struggles or seeking the help of a professional when they need to can only worsen the situation.
Be straight but able to recognize when another guy is a good looking guy and say it out loud.
Ya know, it's funny. I've had a bunch of straight guy friends be like "I know you're gay and all, but that girl is HOT". I always try to explain- dude, I can recognize a beautiful woman when I see her, even if I don't find her sexually attractive. A landscape painting can be beautiful to me, doesn't mean I wanna put my d*ck inside of it. Beauty is both subjective and universal at the same time. Anyone who can't appreciate beauty due to societal norms is lying to themselves.
This! Thank you for saying it. I’m a straight woman, and I am very much capable of recognizing when another woman is beautiful. Same with men I’m not attracted to. They may not be my type, but if they’re handsome, I can recognize and appreciate it. Same goes for landscapes, animals, buildings, etc. I can see and appreciate their beauty in a non-sexual way.
Load More Replies...I usually say to my wife "damn I'd like to look like that guy!" and it's fun because it's the rare time she agrees with my opinion. 😸
I've noticed that a lot of younger people now aren't as afraid of going 'oh hey you look good today!' to their friends. Also, one of my guy friends met one of his best friends at a party by going 'Sweet baby Jesus you're straight up BEAUTIFUL! LOOK at this dude!' It's all in delivery. Compliments are compliments.
My wife will say someone in a movie is attractive and I have very little idea of what actually is the difference. I mean person a and person b look similar to me and I've is attractive? I don't find the same for girls, it seems that what we consider sexy is universal for girls. If I had to pick the winner of a make beauty contest, I'd base it all on the talent competition. You cook and fix computers? That's a 10!
I'm a guy and I have no problem saying a guy is good looking or handsome. Doesn't mean I'm sexually attracted to him. I'm not gay btw.
Beautiful is beautiful regardless of gender, age, ethnicity or size .... just saying x
I honestly struggle to tell the difference between a good looking guy and an average looking guy, it's not even about trying to be masculine, I just can't tell. I think maybe 3% of men are noticeably good looking, 10% are ugly and the rest sit in the middle. It's very different from judging women's looks.
Crying like a little girl when their pet dies.
Little boys can cry too, and by experience, louder.
Load More Replies...Ignoring the stupid dig that crying is "girly" - of course I cried when our pet died and I don't have any issue admitting that.
And nor should you. Your humanity is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, nor is the love of a pet.

This big muscular hairy man will cry and I don't care who sees, or if they make fun. They are family!
Yeah bro same here.....when ppl see me see a tough guy, but the fact it's I'm tender like a Twinkie. Bored to see ppl that I'm only a tough guy, I'm i, but also I cry a lot and I don t care . In school I demonstrated I was tough while crying and man o man don t wanna be the ones I demonstrated hahahahahh

If you're single; Having feelings/Attraction to almost every female friend you've got.
Doesn't gotta be strong feelings. Doesn't have to be romantic.
But you've thought about it. At least once. Maybe three times.
It is. I never had such feelings to my female friends until I reach 16 yrs of age. It sucked cuz I just got awkward around them 💀
Load More Replies...Weird. As a gay man, I definitely have male friends who I would just straight up never sleep with. Not because they aren't good looking or they're overly promiscuous or anything... We're just friends, and it pretty much ends there.
As a heterosexual woman, I agree in that I have male friends in which I have zero romantic interest.
Load More Replies...I'm a single woman, and I do this. I wouldn't call it 'feelings', it's more assessing if I'm interested in them as more than friends.
That's what I think it is. At least for me. I mean I'm not getting any younger and I don't necessarily want to be alone forever, but I'm not going out of my way to meet anyone new. So sometimes I evaluate whether or not I am missing something more with the people already in my life.
Load More Replies...I can be willing to defend someone, verbally, financially, or physically, without expecting anything in return. It’s called being a decent human being.
False. I've been single for a long time, and I have many female friends that I have absolutely no attraction to. We are compatible as friends, and that is it.
Cuz if your attracted to them, you wouldn't put them in the friend zone, right?
Load More Replies...You can be attracted to someone because of how much you click on an emotional level. And I think that’s where men get it confused.
Many men are also wary of getting in touch with a doctor when they have health issues. There’s a certain deeply-rooted stigma that men ‘should’ be strong enough to handle everything on their own and that asking for help is a sign of weakness. While having a stoic mindset is definitely helpful in life, health issues aren’t something you should be playing around with.
Many men are unwilling to see a professional if they have issues that are particularly embarrassing. Others are scared of getting bad news, so they choose to live in denial, hoping that the problems will go away on their own.
To put it bluntly, have the courage to be humble—see a doctor not just when you have health issues, but also for regular checkups. You’re not less of a man because you take care of your health. Quite the opposite!
Sneaking a peak at some cleavage. We don't even have to be attracted to the women but we still gon look
Hehehe I'm gay as the day is long, and even I find it hard not to notice cleavage when it's like... really out there. I don't get any sort of charge out of it, but c'mon, it's like... right friggin' there. Hard not to see when it literally jumps out like that. I've heard lesbians say the same thing about guys wearing speedos- like "woah! you're uhh... well, there you are" lmao
Woman here, totally straight and yet some cleaveges feel like they are yelling your name out loud
Load More Replies...Just don’t try that when shopping for a cell phone. You won’t see any cleavage since they all claim to have the best coverage
I was on a bus with my fiancé going back to satellite parking from the state fair. We'd already been naked together but I still had her sit while I stood and looked down her blouse.
Hate to admit this but I do sometimes but to be the better man I just look in the opposite direction. Don't wanna get caught like a creep
'hardwired' -- exactly that! T&A, how 7.8 billion of us got here!
Load More Replies...We look at everything nice the world has to offer. Could be interesting architecture, a particular well made weld, a cat, a beautiful face or some displayed cleavage. There is nothing to be ashamed for.
Yes you should be ashamed. You do not get to excuse looking at women by saying it's something pretty and deserves being looked at.
Load More Replies...It's fine if you're not gross about it, we'll never even know. Tbh, we check out guys' bodies too. No, we don't always want to have sex with you, but there's nothing wrong with "noticing" someone. We were at the beach not that long ago and this girl walked by with her group of friends and shouted "Damn girl!" & we high-fived because my partner was standing there with his shirt off (he's really fit) lol. So, I guess we gon look too 😉
Listen, I’m a woman, and I admit I will sneak peeks at, well, “packages”. There. I said it. BUT I try my damnedest to be discreet about it. That’s the key. I am not obvious about it, and certainly do not stare, wide-eyed, at men’s crotches, FFS. That should also apply to men looking at cleavage. Be discreet about it, guys. When you stupidly obvious, it embarrasses us. Well, at least most of us. Because from the moment we start developing, and especially if we develop early, they become the only thing boys—-nd grown men who should know better—-seem to focus on, and junior high (or middle school nowadays) age boys are not at all discreet, and make the loudest and filthiest comments about it that they can, right in front of everybody. Any idea what that does to a girl’s psyche? Any idea how it becomes a lifelong memory, and makes our bodies a source of shame to us? The old saying should be changed to “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will break me forever.”
Sniff our armpits to be sure it don't stink or we enjoy the smell.
My advice would be to just use 2 different deodorants. But then again that’s just my two scents
Harley is the hero we need AND the hero we deserve
Load More Replies...I do it, I actually like the very faint smell, it's not a dirty smell.
I am not ashamed to say I sniff my armpits but that's because I really worry about being wiffy. I am female so maybe that's why I don't worry? Very rarely do I smell, but I do worry about it.
One sniff to check for stinkiness. Unlimited sniffage if you smell of sandalwood
When in doubt, wash your pits. Most women shave theirs, but men don’t, and the hair hangs on to sweat and odor, so just wash them thoroughly every day.
To be honest as a woman, I love the raw smell. My man comes home, and he smells like work and that is the sexiest smell
There are some that like the smell of theirt own farts so there is that...
Kicking ice cube under fridge when falls.
This doesn't apply if you have a wolf. Wolf grabs it before it hits the ground, cat looks in disgust lol.
So that's why you find that disgusting scum under the fridge when you have to move it out once a year.
If it wasn't for my ice-maker's psychotic/spastic dispensing, my kitchen floor might never get cleaned! 8-)
When I was in college, a guy on my dorm floor swore he had never masturbated. He was 19. I'm sorry, but I refuse to believe that.
Could be religious thing. Most religious people don't really know about sexual stuff until they're married. It's possible he doesn't even know what masturbation is, just knows it's something sexual. It's really easy to keep away from things that you're not taught about or see as taboo.
Religious people do it too, they just feel guilty about it.
Load More Replies...Men and women exist who aren't interested in sex and more people need to acknowledge it.
The joke I heard was "99% of men masturbate, and 1% don't have any arms"
Load More Replies...Why anyone, regardless of gender or orientation would deny themselves such a basic pleasure of life is beyond me. I get religion makes people weird sometimes, but if Jesus was a real person I bet even he rubbed one out now and then ><
I’m aroace, and I’ve never masturbated. He you don’t feel sexual attraction you might not masturbate.
Load More Replies...Could be culture also. My african Ex husband had never mastrubated. He was cut, but it was the shame and "uncleanliness" about it that stopped him.
Oh, I do hope he was able to get past that. That's horrible to be ashamed of your body instead of being able to take even a little delight in one of the most natural functions of any mammal.

Morning pee's sometimes goes sideways and there's annoying cleaning up to do
Honestly, if I'm half asleep (or drank enough beers), I'm sitting down. F*ck what anyone says.
I was taught to pee standing up. Then, at some point in my adult life, I realized, "This is stupid. Who's idea was this? I'm going to sit." And I've never gone back.

Load More Replies...At least you’re considerate enough to clean up after yourself, and not just leave it for your partner to do.
That morning wood too, it's like you need to hang from the ceiling to get the trajectory correct
Ah, yes. I remember when I was young and sometimes had to sit down, scooch way back, and lean way over from the hips to get enough downward angle.
Load More Replies...When my son was 6 years old, he had a friend over who was using the bathroom. I hear him yell, "Becky, I could use some help in here!" I walk in, he's at the toilet with pants down and I see pee all over the shower curtain and wall. He says, "I thought my penis was going this way, but it went that way!" I could barely contain my laughter and wanted so much to say, "You have to watch those things - they have a mind of their own. You may as well learn it now!"
Your 6yr old calls you Becky? The story is hilarious though 😉👍
Load More Replies...I sit. It's just more hygienic. There's no such thing as perfect aim when you're really micro-spraying the whole area from the splashes. And yes, I know about peeing in as tangencial trajectory to the bowl surface to minimize splashing. I am a man and we've all done it. Minimizes but doesn't eliminate pee-spray. Just sit down, really.
Goes sideways after intercourse for a split second too. Perineal care is important.
Dreaming about owning a sword.
I did own a sword when i was in the Navy. At a ceremonial occasion - question: where are Sub-Lieutenants Gallifrey and Bloggs? Answer: around behind the shrubbery, choreographing Errol Flynn sword fights.

Struggle severely with existential levels of mental health
My doctor asks if I ever considered suicide and I tell him, doesn't everyone?
My friend and I when we were 17 and doing LSD decided never to commit suicide because we saw life as an interesting Russian novel and we just have to see how much suffering we go through all the way to the end.
Load More Replies...I've suffered suicidal depression for over 40 years. I was in therapy for a very brief time when I was young, following a rather dramatic suicide attempt, but haven't been back in decades. Finally, FINALLY, decided to open up to my doctor. I said "Doctor, I've suffered depression since was really young, but recently it's been really, really bad. I'm having a hard time managing it recently" and he laughed and said "Yeah, a lot of people have been feeling that way recently." The end.
In my experience, the concern should be "Do you have a current plan for how to commit suicide?" When life sucks, I think a lot of people have passing thoughts of suicide. It's when you're actively planning out how you're going to do it, that you urgently need to talk to your doctor about your suicidal thoughts.
My doctor once asked me if I'd ever considered harming myself. I said no, but I'd had some vivid thoughts about harming Boris Johnson. She said: "Oh, that's perfectly normal and rational."
It’s OK. Everybody has a struggle. Think about it women have their period. That brings extra hormones and you guys deal with it. You do you
I don't think monthly discomfort can be compared to suicidal thoughts...

Being friendlier to attractive women.
I once saw a beautiful woman heading for a door, so to be nice I opened it for her. Instead of thanking me, she, and everyone else on the plane starting screaming at me.

Crying.
This!! Like... is that a guy's very loudly patterned pajama top? A horse head? A bouquet of flowers? THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW
Load More Replies...crying should be normalized, goddamnit. crying is just a natural response to fear, mourning, pain, etc. When my dog had cancer, I cried. I am 15. that was just 2 or 3 months ago. Crying is also healthy. It can release endorphins and oxytocin, which can actual ease both emotional and physical pain. let the onion ninjas do their work!
We all cried as babies for sometimes no reason, why not now as adults for a reason.
I like the song Boy Don't Cry, because it actively describes how I feel about crying, just that phrase
Looking at houses and cars I can’t afford everyday
I snap myself back to reality thinking about taxes, yard maintenance and I'm not gonna clean all those windows!
If the house is big, with many rooms my first thought is who's gonna clean it? Cos it sure as hell isn't gonna be me!
Load More Replies...My husband and I played a game that we had any kind of money, and pretended looking for a house we both wanted. It turned out, that money didn't necessarily mean there was such a house to be found.
The trick is to keep it in the realms of "wouldn't it be nice", without placing it in the entitlement/bitterness basket.
Never. My house is big, etc. I don't have to look for something I can't afford. Cars are simply things with an economic purpose, I already drive as optimally as possible, as if I am afraid of not making it to the next charging station (normal petrol car).
Ummm, jewelry, yes. Houses or cars? Not so much. (but then I'm an antiques dealer and specialize in costume and estate jewelry. I can always call it research).
Every man has tucked his d**k back between his legs and gazed upon his mangina in the bathroom mirror.
A mangina. It's a slang/slur term usually used to insult a man who is perceived as effeminate.

"If I have to look at my character's bütt all day, it might as well be a NICE-looking bütt!"

Check out women (or men if they prefer) they find attractive in public when with their partner
We both appreciate beauty in many forms. My husband and I point out good looking people to each other especially if they're "your type", I like bald men, my husband makes sure I see them all. He likes tall women, I make sure he sees them.
The day my wife left her old job we went to the pub with a load of her work colleagues. On the table there was a magazine with an article on the best looking men in the world. There was about ten pictures per page and I commented that I could pick the guy my wife would like the most on every page. Loud mouth office boss bet me a pint I couldn't. Easiest pint I've ever won.
My wife is cool enough to point out women she thinks I might find attractive so I can look. She knows I enjoy the beauty of God’s design for women, but also knows I’m absolutely faithful to her.
The way I (an old, married dude)think of it is this...Why look in the window of the Krispy Kreme when you know you can't have any donuts...and why go looking at hamburgers when I already have steak...
Nice thing about my sexual preference... when I've had partners we usually check em out at the same time and compare notes lol
I'm in an 11 year long gay relationship that monogamous and yet him and I always say, "just because we're on a diet doesn't mean we can't check out the menu." We're not insecure people at all.
i know it's natural todo that and sometimes it happnes subcousnily - but don't be upset when it gets pointed out to you and try to be in denial - own that s**t and just fess up to it - you will look less of a d**k that way
The truth is drinking too much. It is common for men to lie about how much they drink to their doctors and when taking surveys.
I never had to lie about that, because I don't drink alccohol at all
Dammit Satan. Another thing you've made me see that I cannot unsee. Fair play to ya.

Never had to lie about how much I drink, because I don't drink that much. Special occasions only, but otherwise, I have no need to drink. I am more than capable of having a good time without needing a mind altering substance to do so.
I don't actually lie to my Dr, but I do forget about the difference between doubles and singles
Never lie to your doctor. They are there to help you. Anybody else yes
Singing along to a song that they shouldn't like, but do.
Why should anyone feel like they "shouldn't" like a song? This is just bizarre. There's plenty of songs I don't like... but to like one and feel like doing so is somehow taboo just seems... I dunno. Not healthy.
I struggle with that sometimes, and I think it's just peer pressure. Certain genres or types of songs get judged as "bad" or "cringe" for whatever reason. It sucks, but it can be a strong demotivating factor in listening to the types of music you genuinely like.
Load More Replies...This is one of the million things I love about my SO. He gives no f***s about what society thinks men should or shouldn't like. He will happily belt out any song that he fancies. Taylor Swft✔️ Disney princess songs ✔️Spice Girls ✔️ Yeah, his brothers & friends might give him a bit of s**t for it, but his whole philosophy is "If you don't like it, or think it makes me 'less of a man,' then that's a you problem."
Noooooooooooo! That'll get stuck in people's heads! Bad Jeremy
Load More Replies...47 here and semi-metalhead here, but I still sing along to Taylor Swift’s “Never Grow Up” and “Love Story.” Then I put on “war pigs” by Sabbath and pretend nothing ever happened.
I hate it. I genuinely do hate it but I sing along to most Bollywood songs
I do this with songs in my native language. I hate most of them but I still sing along, especially if they're catchy.
Load More Replies...May be worse to sing along when you know you can't carry a tune if it had handles...
Well I guess it's a brand new day after all Every time we hear the curtain call See the girls with the curls in their hair The buttons and the pins and the loud fanfares Tonight! Tonight!!!
"Bootylicious" by Destiny's Child is a song I like to shake my butt to... and enjoy watching others shake their booty too.
Every time taylor swift comes along. From the first beat. I love her music. And yes i am a guy. I just don't care
Sometimes when we shave we try and see how we’d look with the moustache of a certain Austrian painter
But if I wanted to look like Gustav Klimt I wouldn't be shaving in the first place!
I actually think that might just be you, and you should probably stop admitting that!
I find it sad that because of him this style of mustache is gone. No ideology or other beliefs. Its just that some people do look good with this kind off mustache

Singing along to Barbie Girl by Aqua.
Barbie girl nah... I think we're alone now by Tiffany? Absodamnlutely.
I just do it to annoy my brother who absolutely despises the song. Even when Ava Max sang it 😂
There’s a Dutch (or maybe German) version of it I’ve found online but it had English transliterations of what they’re saying and it’s hysterical.
I still have my cd single from the 90's. That song is one of the greatest cheesy songs of all time!!
This is the song the girls I teach put on when they want to annoy the boys :)
not sure if this is for all guys, but my bf will never ever admit that he prefers to be little spoon 😭
I am not a spoon, I am not a 6, and I am not a 9. I am a 1.
Load More Replies...My SO did not know that it was called "spooning" so he would ask if I would do that thing where I cling to his back like a little rhesus monkey. Now when he wants to be cuddled & the little spoon he will say "monkey me" 🤭
This big hairy man wants to be little spoon. Every. Damn. Time. Don't care who wants to judge...
We are allways spooning. And I am not “Little spoon”, I am carrying her on my back into the safety of dreamland 😴
My partner loves to be little spoon too, I prefer to be big spoon so it works out. He's alot bigger than me but we both love it
I get off on female domination! Men, take the silver medal and come in second for a change!!
Watch and enjoy rom-coms.
not sure on this one...my mind is now having a quick run down of every Richard Curtis movie now.... nope, nothing, except for "Shawn of the dead" (zom-rom-com) I also don't mind "Mama Mia" 🤔😁
Shaun of the Dead is not a Richard Curtis film. 😉
Load More Replies...I haven't watched anything new in this genre for a long time, but movies like "As Good As It Gets", "What Women Want", "Pretty Woman"...classics.
My ex boyfriend is the one that got me into them. He introduced me to many that I would have never watched otherwise since I prefer horror.
How could someone not like rom-coms? One of humanity's greatest inventions
For me it's the corny Christmas romance films that start to come out in September me and my dad watch like 6 in a day sometimes
My husband loves them! I think "The Devil Wears Prada" is his favorite.
ugh haaate them ... they give women totally inaccurate views of how relationships pan out.
I love posts about mens mental health. Anyone saying they don't like hearing stuff like this, I hope you ask yourself why. If it's because "oh well women go through this too, so it's invalid" that's not a good reason. I know this is a heated opinion but I'm just so sick of people invalidating others because "I have it worse", or "I want to spend more time focused on my problems". Men have to deal with so many things alone because not enough of us care to listen.
I agree. Telling yourself others have it worse can be a useful tool for self-reflection. Telling someone else others have it worse makes you an a-hole who is trying to invalidate other's experiences and feelings.
Load More Replies...Yes, humans. Humans with these weird chicken-skin bags of crazy marbles we’re cursed to drag through life.
Load More Replies...So many of these are specific to individuals. Half of these I never do and I will testify under oath to that fact.
I can't imagine someone fessing up to some of these, even as an anon.
It's not fair to say "what ALL men do" since not all men are the same. Just like not all women are the same. We're all individual people.
Well then, more that 50% of men do, good enough.
Load More Replies...If these are all "Something All Guys Do" then I can safely say, "I'm not like other guys".
Agreed. Much love to the male Pandas who are in a rough spot.
