By now, you may have already heard about ‘Not How Girls Work’ — the online group that collects the most ridiculous and infuriating takes about women you can find on the internet.
But men aren’t immune to stereotypes either. Whether it’s thinking only about sex or not being able to express emotions, society has come up with plenty of strange ideas about how they are supposedly programmed to think and act.
And there’s a community dedicated to calling those out, too. The subreddit ‘Not How Guys Work’ isn’t an opposition to ‘Not How Girls Work’—it simply recognizes that people sometimes get men wrong as well.

I know that you can train things like grip strength, but that won't exactly grow your hands. I'd like to tell OP to grow bigger títs and see how that works out, but growing a brain would be far more beneficial.

I do find it amusing that these men think that they can generalise for all men when they’re so clearly wrong. Some men find confident, ambitious women very appealing. Oh, and the idea that a woman is going to turn down a Nobel Prize in case a man won’t find her attractive is also hilarious.

Weird Guy Claims He Can Consciously Smell When A Woman Is Ovulating. Not How Girls Work Poaches The Post
Bonesko 3 hours ago (edited)
So not totally related to the post, but a couple years ago I was in line at the gas station and this guy behind sniffed me! Sniffed me very loudly! Then whispered in my ear "I like your smell". I wouldn't have done this when I was younger, but I decided the best response was to sniff him back like an animal and growl. Can't remember if I was ovulating or not, but it was definitely funny.

Is It Gay To Love Your Female Wife?
Gaerwing 5 hours ago
He just really hates that despite all his posturing, and working out, and "looksmaxxing" and all the effort he has put into making his entire life about women (while pretending he isn't completely ruled by his little cocktail sausage), despite all that... Women still don't want anything to do with him.

but the story in bloodborne, and all soulsborne games, is intentionally vague and needs to be pieced together using external media. it's like saying "this stupid man couldn't take in the story of Finnegans Wake, I had to explain it to him". pretentious as all hell.

As a sixty year old man . . . . .d**n but the last two generations of the male population have produced some utterly bizarre, pathetic and mind numbingly stupid 'men' . . . .we still have schools right? im SURE we still have schools where kids go to learn stuff so how come we have so many 'men' that are utterly baffled by the female body and see women as a seperate species and what's with this bizarre fascination, obsession almost, with being secretly gay? Just go and be gay and go be the real you: it really is super okay to be gay. Go, go find some d*** and ENJOY yourself, have fun and stop being so annoying . . . . .its the 21st century: have fun.

Thoughts like this have always existed but were in most cases bar room banter. Sadly the village idiots have found their plattforms on the internet and are annoyingly loud, because they are a******d to attention.
