We’re gonna get some REAL TALK today.
And we’re gonna get it from men out there who want to give their fellow guys some advice about the ways of the world…and we’re here for it!
Check out what the fellas of AskReddit had to say to their brethren.
1. Good one.
“The axe forgets what the tree remembers.
Be kind with your words and be careful with your temper.
People will remember your throwaway comments.”
2. Be kind.
“As a seasoned man…my best piece of advice is to be polite. To everyone.
It costs nothing and it’s one of the few things that people remember.
One more thing..listening. if you can give someone your undivided attention for just a few minutes…..you become a hero.”
3. Date night.
“Don’t forget to date your wife.
It doesn’t always have to be big or flashy like a fancy dinner or something either, just do things fairly often that let her know you’re with her because you love her and not out of convenience.”
4. Listen up.
“You’re not the main character in anyone’s story but your own.
What does this mean? Two main things: take care of yourself and your goals, because at the end of the day it’s your life; be patient with other people, because you don’t know what they’re going through.”
5. Own it.
“If someone proves you wrong accept it gracefully and don’t try to double down.
Admitting your mistakes is a sign of maturity; trying to defend a wrong position is a sign of insecurity.”
6. Absolutely.
“Comparison is the thief of joy.
Strive to be content.”
7. Get out there and do it.
“Don’t put off life because you’re waiting for a girlfriend.
I myself was guilty of this when I was younger. And I have a friend who was like, “I’d like to travel, but that’s something that’s more fun to do with a girlfriend.” Nah bro. Just go see the world. It’s fun going with friends, but solo travel you still get to have a lot of fun doing cool s**t.
Just live life without waiting for others. Learn to cook for you and your friends. Or just yourself. Discover nice restaurants by yourself or with pals. If there’s stuff you’ve been putting off doing in life because you’re waiting to do that with girlfriend, do it.
Go to the movie you want to see, take the dance class you wanted to take, tour that museum, take that cooking class, do that with your friends or by yourself. Don’t wait for others to be happy.”
8. Amen!
“Being enthusiastic, punctual, and ready to learn will open so many doors that it’ll make your head spin.”
9. For real.
“Get over yourself and schedule a prostate exam.
I knew 3 men, 2 of which were fathers who would still be alive if they had just had a poke up the a**…”
10. You look great!
“Give your friends compliments.
Are they wearing a new shirt that looks cool? Say it looks cool. They got a new haircut? Say it looks good. They got new shoes? They look fire dude!
We guys don’t do this enough but it can surely help a lot.”
11. Do your own thing.
“Women or romantic partners don’t complete you. They only add to your happiness.
So go out and be happy and don’t wait for someone else to fix you or complete you or make you better. That rarely happens. You usually end up still have to deal with your own s**t by yourself anyway.
So be a rockstar. Be the best version of yourself you can be. Do what makes you happy. Enjoy life.”
12. Avoid them…
“Be wary of self-branded “alpha or sigma” male influencers.
They don’t have your best interests at heart and most of them are lying about how much wealth they have and how they got their wealth.
They only do what they do because they want to capitalize on your insecurities to line their pockets.”
