21 Things That Make Guys Feel Like Less Of A Man

The definition of a being a man has changed over the years and it seems to always be changing. Nowadays guys take more care of how they look, but one thing that hasn't changed is how we feel when our manhood's being questioned. Guys like to keep up this facade that they're a man's man, but there are some things that break it and make us feel like a little boy. Here are the things that make guys feel like less of a man.

21) Being called by your embarrassing nickname

Guys usually have nicknames for their friends and there is nothing worse when you're chatting up a girl and one of your friends reveals your embarrassing nickname. You knew that one day it would bite you in the ass and now she sees you in a completely different light.

19) Not being able to open a jar

It's usually not a question of strength, but of technique and when a girl ends up opening it for you, you feel stripped of your manhood. You should be able to do this sort of thing, so next time you will know how to.

18) Standing next to a girl that's taller than you

There is nothing you can do really which makes it worse, if you're vertically challenged you have to live with it. Guys are meant to be tall, dark and handsome, so that's one of them ruled out.

17) Getting scared watching a horror movie

Now I don't get particularly scared watching scary movies I just acknowledge that it's scary. Some of my friends shriek like little girls when they see the smallest thing move. For gods sake pull yourself together there wasn't even anything there.

16) Struggling to lift heavy things

Guys are meant to be good at physical labour so when they're asked to lift something they are meant to be able to perform with no fuss. Sometimes it can be a bit too heavy and you struggle to try and lift it, you have to power through and you come out with some horrible faces.

16) When some0ne belittles your beard

"Ha, nice subtle," there is nothing worse than hearing this when you have spent a lot of time working on your beard. A beard can cover up a lot, so if someone ridicules your beard your ego get's bruised.

15) Screwing up the barbeque

The barbeque is always a man's job and their responsibility, so if you happen to mess things up and burn the food it's all on you. No one likes burnt burgers, so make you're sure you keep checking on them.

14) Drinking Blue Wkd

There are drinks made for men and there are ones made for women. Guy's really shouldn't drink alcopops, they should drink manly beers like Ale and Lager and if you're not into that maybe cider.

13) Crying when watching a chick flick

So if somehow you end up watching a chick flick there is literally nothing more unmanly that crying over it. They're not made for men so it is kind of weird that you're crying over one.

12) Crying in general

Guy's aren't really good at expressing their emotions and it's quite a harrowing experience to see a grown man cry. It's good not to let your emotions get bottled, but it's worse when everything just comes pouring out.

11) Knowing all the words to" Drunk in Love"

We all have our guilty pleasure, but there are some things that go a bit too far. There's no problem in liking a song and knowing the chorus. If you know every single word and aren't afraid to sing them out loud then it's more than a guilty pleasure I'm afraid.

10) Daydreaming like this

9) Being afraid of spiders

A lot of guys have Arachnophobia for some reason or another which is ok, but it's their reaction when they see a spider that is incredibly unmanly. They shriek in the presence of one of them and act like they are going to be killed...

8) Asking for directions when you're lost

It really hurts a man's pride when he has to ask for directions when he's lost. They're the ones who got into this mess so they will be the ones to get out of it. Even if that means driving in circles for an hour before realising where to go.

7) Wearing a man bag

It's ok if you have a briefcase or a laptop bag, but when you have a "man" bag then things get called into question. They are meant to be functional not fashionable so if you think your bag is trendy then it's a purse.

6) Someone questioning your maturity

We all know men are more immature than woman, but we don't need to be confronted about it.Guys are really just little kids inside but we don't want people knowing.

5) Having a bubble bath

If you're going to have one do it when no one is around because the last thing you want is someone walking in on you in the bath.It's not a very manly thing having a bubble bath with your rubber ducky, you should have grown out of that already.

4) Shaving off your beard

Is there a more unmanly thing possible then shaving of your beard, the one you have grown physically attached to over the last few months. You feel naked and worst of all you feel like you're about ten years old again.

3) Wearing a face mask

It's one thing to shave off your beard, but wearing a face mask is a whole different ball game. There is a reason men don't do it, it's good to take care of your skin, but this is a step too far.

2) Man crushes

All guy's seem to have one or two guys that they think are handsome, but if you have numerous ones it's a bit weird. There is no problem with having a man crush it's more the fact that you feel the need to tell everyone about it. Although, Australian comedian Steve Hughes does have a great point about liking men.

1) Not being able to get it up

Is there anything more soul destroying then when it's just not working down there, a lot of the time you don't know why, which makes it worse. It's your time to shine and you get stage fright, it happens to the best of us. One thing is for sure there is nothing that makes us feel like less of a man than impotence.
