10 secret habits and behaviours men have but are too embarrassed to admit.
Love them or hate them, the world can’t function without men! Over the years it seems like their roles have changed a bit, and being in touch with their femininity isn’t as big of a deal. Many men are starting to enjoy the girly side of life, whether it’s gossiping with other guys, or getting a manicure, these are 10 things all men do, but won’t admit.
How do societal norms around masculinity affect men’s ability to express their emotions, including through crying?
It is no secret that there are certain things that guys do but are too afraid or embarrassed to admit. While some may see these habits as peculiar, they are, in fact, perfectly normal behaviors that most men exhibit. Here are ten things all guys do, but won’t readily confess to.
1. Admire Their Reflections:
Most men, if not all, have taken a quick glance at their reflection while walking past a mirror or store-window. It’s a way of paying attention to how they look, and every guy does that, no matter how modest they may seem.
2. Scratch Their Private Parts:
It’s something most guys have done—a quick scratch, a discreet adjustment or two, but never in public or in the company of others.
3. Cry:
Yes, guys cry, but typically only when they’re alone or around close family and friends. Unfortunately, societal norms have led men to think shedding tears is a sign of weakness, which simply isn’t true.
4. Secretly Watch Romantic Comedies:
Many guys secretly enjoy watching romantic comedies or teen dramas, but they won’t openly admit it. Fearing being judged, guys tend to keep their predilections under wraps.
5. Spend More Time Getting Dressed Than They Admit:
Most guys pose as those who don’t take much time to get ready, but the opposite could be true. Men will take their time and change outfits repeatedly before going out, but they won’t admit it.
6. Follow Their Ex-Girlfriends On Social Media:
Even after break-ups, guys will still check out what their ex-girlfriends are up to on social media. It’s not always due to jealousy either, but pure curiosity.
7. Compete With Other Guys:
Men are naturally competitive with other men, whether that’s in sports, business, or other fields. Many guys won’t admit to this, usually to avoid appearing arrogant, but it’s a common trait.
8. Pretend To Know Everything:
In social settings, some guys feel compelled to have an opinion on everything or know all the answers. This behavior is often linked to the need to be respected, but in reality, they don’t know everything.
9. Manscaping:
Men too, groom their bodies, but many of them will never spill the beans about the lengths they go to keep their pubic areas trim or chest hair neatly shaved.
10. Think About Their Crushes:
Most guys have a crush on someone, and they think about them more than they admit. It’s not uncommon to see guys daydreaming and mulling over their oftentimes-requited crush.
In conclusion, most guys have some peculiar habits that they’d rather keep quiet about. These behaviors, while seemingly taboo or embarrassing, are still a part of being human. It’s important to celebrate our individual quirks and accept them as a manifestation of our unique personalities.
