Not taking accountability.
Having stupid world views (i.e racism) or forming an opinion on things he doesn’t know shit about
Having a side piece or talking about cheating.
A bully or that kind of guy who would make fun of you to make a girl laugh
Fucks his friends exes
Being too much of a whipped pussy. One time, this guy I used to know didn’t go see his dying father (whom doctors told had a few days to live) because his gf was sick. Poor man died all alone two days later.
Not fully paying back money he borrowed from me.
I have a friend who does absolutely nothing to help his wife with their young kids when they visit. Â Even when asked. Â
“Honey, I could use some help over here”
“In a minute, this is an important drive in the game”
Cat calling women, being a toxic friend to me, saying really messed up shit about others (but can’t handle any form of criticism), always playing the victim card and never takes accountability
Just being a dick. Always needing to get the last word and dismissing whatever anyone else says even though they had valid points.
Finding out he’s cheating on his partner.
White knights who are so obviously just doing it as intrasexual competition.
Putting his vices before his family – hard drugs / gambling / seeing prostitutes, while having a fiancĂ©e and a daughter.
Talking down to workers. Janitors, wait staff, health care, cashiers. Doesn’t matter.
No desire to learn and improve.
Hitting on my wife and acting all cool when I see him, thinking I don’t know about his behavior. Asshole is married with kids.
Constantly one upping people on everything. For example if I have a motorcycle he has a better one, if the conversation is about car maintenance he’s built custom cars, but has zero proof to back up his stories. So it leads you to believe that he’s lying.
Recently? Infidelity
A friend who wanted me to move in with him, so his girlfriend and I could support him indirectly while he grew magic mushrooms ordered off line in a rather large size, because he was a selfish person and in no way, could that impact my career at all.
He ended up hitting her too, after that. She left, shortly after I did.
they cheat on their SO. i can’t trust anyone that would cheat and lie.
i had a friend that did this and then tried to get me to lie for him. i wont lie for anyone so i basically just stopped hanging out with him.
Arrogance, especially unearned arrogance.
Also dudes who refer to themselves as “a god.” Cringey as fuck and no, you’re not that cool man.
Cheating on a partner. If you cheat on a partner that you are committed to, which should be your highest from of friendship, then what is my friendship worth?
Always playing the victim for something he started.
Someone who mistreats children, women, servers/waitstaff, or animals.
Hitting pets
Not cleaning up after his own mistakes. Dude made a fucking mess at the worksite and didn’t lift a finger to clwan up. Fucking take responsibility for your bullshit. Was releieved when he got fired 2 months later.
I had a friend and we went camping and he forgot his weed and he was the biggest bitch about it and ruined the whole trip like a little baby it was wildly annoying. Can’t even go a day and a half without it I stopped being his friend after that
He made a racist comment not realising I was the race he was vilifying.
Sometime last year, I was at the bar. I walked in and there were the usual regulars except for one guy. Guy starts talking to me and come to find out, we shared a lot of the same interests. Same music, same video games, same hobbies, etc. Seemed like a chill guy. Until he hit on a woman next to him and when he got rejected, started blabbering off about how “woman are only good for 3 things, this is exactly why there’s never been and never will be a woman president, how they’re physically, intellectually, and emotionally inferior, etc etc.” Instantly lost all respect.
Playing an online game and hearing another guy yelling at his young child for bothering him.
The fact that he cheats on his wife. But also at her expense. Because he doesn’t work anywhere.
Acting holier than everyone publicly, judging them for their beliefs and behaviors while portraying seemingly impossible standards, but having disturbing thoughts and wishes to be with younger women 30+ years younger with unrealistic expectations.
Major victim complex. EVERYTHING bad in his life is because other people are fucking him over. He has NEVER done anything wrong.
Just pissing on the street, downtown, daylight. No bush, no alley.
A guy I worked with desperately tried to get me to cancel my plans on my day off so him and his girlfriend could spend time together since they had both been working so much. I almost cancelled it but I found out a few minutes later he was lying to me so I told him no. He proceeded to throw the biggest bitch fit I’d ever seen and refused to talk to me much less look at me for the rest of the time we worked together
An asshole I worked with a few years ago got to work at 6:00 in the morning. We can’t have cell phones out when we are working and this guy forgot his at home. He calls his wife at about 6:15, waking her up, and tells her to bring his phone. She tells him she will when the kids are awake, a toddler and a new born. He says “No, I need it right now”. He made her wake up his sleeping kids for her to make a 1 hour round trip drive just to take him his phone he is not supposed to be using anyway. What kind of prick wakes a sleeping baby just so he can have his phone to fuck around with because he’s bored? Fuck you Rich, you complete piece of shit.
Guy thought that it was awesome to brag about going 100mph while wasted. It fucking isn’t.
The grown ass men who still act like playground bullies
Dudes who show people nudes of their GF.
I know a guy who showed everyone with eyes absolutely *every* angle of his gf at the time…they are now married with kids…and those pictures are the first thing I think of literally every time I see her.
It just shows a total disrespect and a breach of trust with your partner.
Men who put down other men to either feel good about himself or impress a girl/woman.
Finished a first date that went pretty well, he dropped me off at home and he made fun of my Mom who was sweeping the driveway with her pants pulled up to her belly button.
Date: “who’s that?”
Me- my Mom (I’ll admit, slightly embarrassed that they would meet on our first date)
Date: no way, you can’t be serious?! That’s your Mom?! Wow! Whats she doing sweeping the driveway looking that?!
Me- looks back at my Mom, gives the guy a smile, got out of the car, and ghosted him after he persistently called me for weeks after asking for another date.
Never talked to him again.
“I’m an Alpha male” shut up
My dad, when he said he disowned me. I never really hated the guy, I kinda looked up to him, but after he said that, some sort of hate grew within me that day. I vowed to myself to never be like that guy. I lost all respect for him. I wouldn’t treat anyone the way he treated my mom, or me. Dude was a real shit-hole, and I didn’t see it till it was too late.
Anyone who cheats on their wife generally makes me lose respect for them.
Cheating is bad enough in general, but if you’ve made a vow – a promise for life – and you break it, then you’re not only betraying your wife, but worse you’re betraying your own word.
Why should I respect a man who doesn’t even respect their own word?
It suggests they aren’t honourable, aren’t trustworthy, and don’t have enough self respect to keep their own commitments they made in front of everyone they likely cared for.
Obviously there are some exceptions, but it’s generally a good indicator.
For my husband, it was when his life long best friend (mid 50’s) started messaging our daughter as soon as she turned 18.
A guy who tells another guy he is pussywhipped because he goes pumpkin picking with his kids and misses the regular season football game.
I found out my friend who’s married has a girlfriend he sees when he travels for work.
I can’t hang out with him anymore.
Since this is a dark thread and I already commented on the actual answer, I’d like to add one where I *gained* respect for another guy. When my girlfriend and I split after 7 years he gave me a house key and said stay as long as you need. No questions asked, no money asked for. I was out in a few months and left him $1500 when I did leave.
When they scream at the tv in a bar. I don’t care what sports ball game it is. Keep your testosterone to yourself.
The “Alphas”, Andrew Tatists, the Sigmas, whatever they call themselves honestly.
Just be a good fucking person. Be kind. We need more of that.
