13 Men Reveal Why They Secretly Think Their Buddies Will Be Single Forever

Men don’t always approve of the way that their friends are behaving. Here are some men from Ask Reddit admitting why they secretly think their male friends will never settle down with a woman:

“I’ve known quite a few men who believe they have to treat women poorly to get their attention and respect. I’ve tried helping them open their eyes to all of the healthy, happy, and normal relationships around them but these guys are usually pretty disconnected from reality. I’ve also known men who seem to think women owe them something. Like they don’t need to try to be a good person or a good partner they just need to check off the ‘I’m a man’ boxes and act cool then women should be falling head over heels for them.” — beehummble

“Immediately falling in love with any girl who talks to them. ‘That girl at the check out counter digs me, she said hi to me!’ No dude, that’s an actual part of her job description, to greet each customer.” — LoadNovel2929

“Always trying to be the toughest man in any situation. I have one guy I know in mind and he claims to have no fears, could take anyone on, and is just an absolute jerk.” — no_lemom_no_melon

“Making overt sexual remarks, at inappropriate times, to people they do NOT know well enough for that sort of banter.” — whitneywestmoreland

“Loudly telling women how to be more desirable to men. Usually without provocation.” — crowbag39

“Not engaging with women. They aren’t just going to fall out of the sky into your lap. And in this time of dating apps and social media, it’s not going to happen unless you try.” — watch_over_me

“Not taking responsibility and lacking any self-reflection. No one wants an incompetent man-child that thinks they are perfect and unwilling to grow/change.” — gmsteel

“I had a friend in college who was constantly batting out of his league with girls. And I don’t mean looks-wise. I mean the entire package. He wanted the perfect 10s (both brains and looks) while he was a solid 4 to 5 in both of those areas. On top of that, he was almost always interested in girls who had already found good guys. He was just completely unrealistic about it. I said it back then, and I’ll say it now 20 years later. He’s gonna be single forever.” — Ibringupeace

“Not taking care of their personal hygiene. Like come on man, I don’t want to smell your BO, why would any potential partner? Also, wash your god damn hands after using the bathroom you filthy animal.” — ThatGuyDannyStewart

“Lots of women blaming. I’ve know divorced men that all they talk about is the blame a woman has and how their life is like that because of them. It’s not flattering throwing blame around. It shows a lack of understanding.” — youngxsalmon

“Men who struggle with adapting and think everything has to be done a certain way because it was done that way in the past, or because the bible says so, or because their parents or grandparents did it that way. Sometimes the way things used to be done just doesn’t make sense in the present context, and you have to able to accept that and adapt.” — jonesssssssssssssss

“When they expect women to sleep with them only because they are nice to women, it‘s everyone’s responsibility to be a nice person, man.” — Neosincity

“This might be hard to hear but honestly it’s being under-confident. You can be an absolute piece of shit and still get a partner, because most pieces of shit still have or at least project a lot of self-confidence and that is what people find attractive. If you’re an otherwise nice dude but you don’t believe in yourself, you’re not gonna attract anyone.” — Obamas_Tie
