Unwritten rules that every man should abide by no exceptions!!!

[BoomStronk]

12. Learn what "unwritten" means. Then, delete rest of list.

Hell no. If I'm defending myself, I'm doing whatever it takes to end the fight as quickly as possible. If that means hitting the guy in the nuts, he's getting hit in the nuts. Thinking that there's such a thing as a fair fight on the street is a good way to get yourself killed

I dont know about this, you get into a squabble with a dude doesnt mean you're willing to murder the guy

#12 If you give your word, fucking keep it.

#13 If you borrow money, you pay it back, it doesn't matter if you go without food for a week to do it, tough shit.

It must suck being in the 1% of people. At least from my own confirmation bias.

I like your list, except the tag ons for number four.

Some of the best beers of my life have been warm. Real men don't whine about drink temperatures.

And extra cheese is not necessary and often make things worse. Pizza, good pizza, doesn't need extra cheese and it can definitely take away from the pie if it's just a cheesy, greasy, soft mess.

maube this can be summed up in another rule:

Appreciate food and drink offered to you, do your best to enjoy it in it's best form but a warm beer and a slice of decent pizza eaten with still dirty hands around the back of a truck is awesome if thats what you've got.

In my 20s I would regularly drink hot budweisers at the beach because I was either too poor or too lazy to go get ice and a cooler. You get used to it pretty quick.

this is fine unless you happen to live in a society.

The context of the thread is unwritten rules you must abide by as a man, as in this is how to be a man.

We're not talking about the greater social contract here.

I have to assume the greater context is as a man in society, otherwise where do these "unwritten rules" come from?

1. If a friend buys you a drink, you don’t pay it back. You just buy the next round.

2. It’s essential that we pee away the small bit of poop on the side of the toilet bowl. Because nobody wants to be the guy who left a poop surprise for the next visitor.

3. Don’t hit another man in the balls — just don’t. Unless you’re in a self-defense class, and even then, only if he’s wearing a cup.

4. Beer and pizza/BBQ is acceptable payment for helping another man work on his house or vehicle. Just make sure the beer is cold and the pizza has extra cheese.

5. Don’t throw a friend under the bus to impress someone. Ever.

6. Don’t use the urinal next to an occupied one. It’s like standing in line at the DMV — nobody wants to be that close to a stranger.

7. You can have a beer. But not if it’s the last one. Unless you’re the one who bought the case, then go wild.

8. Don’t roast a man in front of their kid.

9. The unspoken ‘Man up and deal with it! “Real” men don’t cry’ rule is bullshit. Real men express emotions, like when their favorite sports team loses.

10. Stand when you shake a man’s hand or a woman comes to the table. Unless you’re at a rock concert, then just nod and smile.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

Don't mess with a friend's ex

If you give your word do not break it

If someone comes to you and they need help and you can help , you help. Not for any kind of gain but because it's the right thing to do.

You can be anything on earth you want to except a pussy.

You can pick your games in life but you have to follow their rules.

Stand up for those you know can't stand up for themselves.





Yes honor is important to me lol.

So which society is this important to?

How does this respond to my post?

11. After securing something with a strap, you must check the tension and speak the incantation:
"This sucker ain't going anywhere"

I failed the last two days when I strapped my kayak on my jeep and I said “boy, I hope the wind doesn’t knock it loose” despite using so many straps. The wind up here is brutal

I go out of my way to avoid trouble. For every fight I've been in, I've walked away from at least a dozen confrontations without getting physical.

So if the other guy forces me to fight, anything that happens to him is his own fault. FAFO.

 

[Berserker13]

And I'm going to wake up tomorrow and deal with the exact same stupid crap becasue they can't do simple things

 

[Berserker13]

I have legit wasted ten years because they can't do simple things properly

I see you never responded to me yet came back and edited your post. The very idea of a set of rules men should follow come from society itself. So once again, how have you answered my post?

I edited my post before you posted or at the same time that you posted. That's why it doesn't say edited. I'm sorry that I didn't pay attention to you quicker.

And I'm saying, live by your own rules. A lot of them are just don't be an asshole rules. If you wouldn't follow them naturally, society telling you too wouldn't help. Also, society is not one thing. Some societies say kill your sister or daughter if she shames the family. So should you follow those rules.

Watch "A Girl in the River" and tell me that men should just follow their society's rules.

I don't care to have some debate about multiple societies in the same geographic area or some chicken vs egg debate about my own rules coming from society itself. But have it with yourself if you want

When you live in a society, you make concessions. Of course be yourself, as much as you can be in the greater context that you share your life with and participate with those around you, ie society. If "yourself" is a raging asshole, your life in society will be difficult unless you make some concessions. Ultimately up to you though, of course.
You have taken this so far beyond my simple statement. It's ruly amazing the lengths people will go to in order to feel that they are "right." Well done sir.

You seemed to want a reply or maybe ending with a question means something different in your society....

What I really expected was a concession that yeah, there are limits to "being yourself" in a society. But I will accept being entertained as well. Carry on.
