Women: How Do You Feel When A Man Is Being An Asshole To Another Man?

Women: How Do You Feel When A Man Is Being An Asshole To Another Man?

My answer to a recent question about "toxic masculinity" inspired this, which my answer was in turn inspired by real life events and experience. I originally wrote this out in question form but my details ended up coming out longer than I intended, so I decided to post this in Take form instead.

So tell us: how do you feel when you're in a group or chatting with 2 or 3 guys, and one of them is making it a point to joke about or try to make one or all the other guys look stupid to impress you? What do you think about that? Or when the one guy thinks he's cooler than the other and makes it a point to talk over him or completely disregard him period and dominate the discussion with you? Or if there's a physical job going on and the one guy is trying to show how strong he is to impress you - and he might even come over to the other guy and try to show his dominance by joking about how he needs to get some muscle, or he might even try to take over what the guy is doing to further show his strength?

As women, what do you think when you're in these situations? How do you feel about those guys being jerks? Often times - in a lot of what I've seen - the woman won't stand up for the guy the jerk is poking at even though she sees it isn't right, or she will even laugh along with it to appease the jerk, but then if the guy who is considered weaker actually stands up for himself and pushes back at the jerk and shows that he isn't really the pushover the jerk thinks, then the woman will think the guy who is considered weak is the one being a jerk.

Even worse, women don't like it if a guy is being an overconfident asshole in how he acts with her, but she sees no problem in it if he behaves that way towards another man in front of her.

I know there are women who are emotionally immature and underdeveloped in their sexuality and sense of what masculinity is and are sexually excited by men who are assholes, so I really don't need to cover them, but for all other women, what is your viewpoint on everything I stated above? How do you feel about men who act like assholes towards other men as trying to prove he is the baddest, coolest, or most masculine?

  • that is how they are to each other

    • Only sometimes. I've been helped out and protected and cared for by men who I didn't even know, just out of the goodness of their heart. Some men are assholes, but some men look out for each other and treat everyone the way best friends treat each other. I've also been helped out like that by guys who were assholes at first, but they dropped the asshole act and at least grudgingly helped me when they saw that I really needed help and couldn't help myself. Guys went from making fun of me to taking me under their wing and putting me on the right track while continuing to make fun of me, but more playfully and less asshole-ishly. Don't try to paint us all with the same brush, please. You really make yourself sound like the asshole when you do.

    • Bob: Hey Larry, I'm gonna' rape your mom Kent: Yeah and when Bob's through with your mom Larry, I'm gonna' decapitate her and then rape her head Larry: Dude that's not cool! My mom's terminally ill.. what the hell is wrong with you? Kent: We don't care Larry, we're gonna' rape her anyway TinyLisa's Friend: Whoah.. those guys are being assholes to Larry! TinyLisa: That is how they are to each other..

  • It all depends on if he's physically attractive to them.

    If he is, he'll be in the right no matter what.

    If he's not, he'll be in the wrong no matter what.

    Simple.

    • Sad but true point.

  • 🥊 🤕 😴

    • Hey sexy

  • Talking about women, the same way women talk about men amongst their own gender like lockrroom talk isn't the same as being a shiggle of a person to women.

  • Violence sucks.
    Aggression is stupid.
    Peace is good.

  • I don't like that kind of situations

    • You're from Azerbaijan? Wowwwww. Off topic, I know lol.

    • 😊..

  • Women don't care and the best ones will try to stop it but even then she will think of that guy as weak and its a turn off. Us men need to be assholes sometimes, of course not to the extreme, but just a little.

    • I agree that sometimes you do have to be a bit of an asshole - even I am. But it's never in situations of trying to one-up another guy or show dominance. It's usually in situations that warranted me needing to be one, with both men and women. My assholery doesn't discriminate.

  • Man's business not mine

  • I'm not into it and would never look twice at a guy like that.

    • Even if he was at least 6 feet?

    • @esova I prefer short men. I'm short myself.

    • Ohhh interesting.

  • When disrespectful to another person before eyes, it will make unfaithful way... But in long day goal, woman can help from that... But not just a quick one...

  • Fuck you dipshit.

    • *punches you square in the eye* Say it again, bitch! I dare you! Say it again!

  • If a guy is an asshole to anyone, I won't hesitate to beat the living sh*t out of him. I don't care if it's in public, and how muscular he is. I can kick his ass in no time. But of course that's just the case if he's messing with my male buddies.

  • I would like to think that women would call out the man on their antisocial behavior as they would if it were a woman.

    • I would very much like to see that.

  • I smacked the face of these type of boys. They ain't mature enough to act around women.

  • I think he isn't masculine at all because he is over compensating for his lack of masculinity.

  • Another person should stop bothering.

  • It's better than women being assholes to men

  • You have to defend one

  • I have noticed this happen quite a lot in my life. I think it has something to do with ego and to show his dominant to others. The man that wants to be the leader. Some guys I have noticed them constantly put other guys down infront of their friends, which I think is the worst kinda guys you could even come across.

  • I don't like guys who are jerks to others to try and impress girls, that's f*cked up, if you wanna seem better than be nicer. I would hope most girls would prefer that
