Men can be the most accommodating of each other and can also be each other’s best critique. In the men’s world, some habits go against the bro code, habits many men wish other men would just stop engaging in right now!
Not Cleaning Up After Themselves
It is sometimes understandable in men’s space that another man has some badly arranged clothes somewhere in the living room, and his kitchen isn’t sparkling neat. These occasional badly-arranged-house moments are permissible. But when you’re always the one whose house is unclean and unkempt whenever the boys come over is unacceptable.
Showing Off Excessively
We know that men have egos…as they should. But whatever ego you have as a man doesn’t apply to you showing off amongst your friends and brothers. Nobody is saying to become a hermit crab and do nothing. But showing off excessively and too frequently is not acceptable. Know when you show off and when you stay humble. Showing off at every chance you get makes the other men uncomfortable around you, and they’ll send you out of the circle. Plus, excessive showing off robs people of the wrong way.
Invading Personal Space
Men are very accommodating; they can have their friends over to spend the night and not mind if the friend uses all the groceries and snacks in the fridge. But when another man is used to invading people’s personal space, both physically and psychologically, the man becomes a pest and unwanted nuisance. As a man, know when you back off and allow people to be in their personal space and they should only allow you in when they want to.
Not Respecting Other’s Opinion
One of the unspoken rules in the brotherhood of men is that everyone is as smart and strong as the next man. Disrespecting people’s opinions and always trying to sound smart and informed is unacceptable. Respecting other people’s opinions proves you to be a gentleman.
Not Taking Responsibility For Your Actions
As a man, not taking responsibility for your actions makes you look weak, lazy, and irresponsible. Taking responsibility as a man earns you the respect of your fellow men, and puts you in the class of men who are ready to conquer the world. It also makes you attractive to your woman and family.
Constantly Checking Oneself in The Mirror
Although some would call it toxic masculinity, most men find a man who’s overly conscious of his physical appearance annoying. The habit of constantly checking out oneself in the mirror is a habit reserved for women, not men.
Being Excessively Picky About Food
Although no one is asking every man to eat anything he sees, other men find men who are overly picky about the food they eat irritating and weak. Due to the societal pressure men have to deal with, and how being able to adapt to anything is a trait for strong men, men who are too picky with food are perceived as weak.
Making Fun of Other’s Hobbies
It is fine to make fun of your friends now and again. That’s what makes men’s gatherings hilarious: they’re not afraid to roast anyone with a joke. But such jokes should not cross the line of disrespecting the other’s hobbies, especially when they’ve talked about how important the hobbies are to them. A man who constantly makes fun of another’s hobby to the man’s detriment doesn’t understand how to respect his brother’s feelings.
Not Following Through On Commitments
It is perceived, in men’s spaces, that a man who keeps to his word is a man who can be trusted. When a man has a penchant for not following through on commitments, it makes other men trust him less.
Being Overly Competitive in Trivial Situations
Men are highly competitive people. But when men gather to have fun, they just want to have fun and not compete. It becomes irritating and unbearable for many men when other men seriously compete in trivial things like playing video games and cards. While there is the place of having fun and trying to beat the next man, being so competitive that others notice is unacceptable, and a bad habit that should be changed. Have fun!
Always Checking Phone During a Conversation
Men don’t like other men who can’t stay present in a conversation. Staying present in a conversation means turning off your phone, if need be, and paying rapt attention to the other person. While there are times when a man can share his attention, it becomes nauseating when a man can’t stay concentrated for long. The constant up-and-down movement of the head to check your phone is disrespectful to the person (or people) you’re talking to.
Always Needing to Be the Center of Attraction
Any man who has the main character syndrome, and wants everything to be about him isn’t liked much within the men’s community. When you’re with other men, the goal is not to be the center of attraction. The camaraderie of men’s gathering is that everyone is equal!
Pushing Their Beliefs on Others
Men are known for respecting other men’s beliefs. What makes a man mature is how well he can hold two conflicting ideas in his head and respect both equally. When a man tries to impose his beliefs on others, he’s seen as weak.
Not Contributing During Sports Activities
When men gather, they want everyone to feel like a family. So, if there’s a man who is always keeping to himself and not talking in men’s conversation, he’s seen as an outcast and unwelcome in the community of men.
Sending Unsolicited Pictures
Except the picture is that of a massive win, sending unsolicited pictures to other men is a no-no for men. If you want to send unsolicited pictures, send it to your woman!
Taking Credit For Other People’s Work
Most men believe every man should earn his pay. When a man doesn’t earn his pay manipulates, gaslights, and power over another man, taking credit for work that isn’t his original, he is often socially ostracized from other men. They see such behavior as manipulating and dangerous for the group.
