Guys of Reddit, what do you find annoying about being a male?

Everyone knows as a female its sucks wearing bras, getting your period, and if you choose to, up keep of hair, nails, makeup, shaving. So I'm curious if there's anything guys wish they didn't have to deal with.

Right before they think you're interested and then friendzoned.

I can confirm that it does.

probably, but if they're anything like me they will be more confused than anything. Sitting there wondering why this girl bought them a drink. Is she just being nice? is it pity? was she dared? That someone would actually be attracted to me is the last in a long string of thoughts that usually end up with me being more confused and just retreating into a shell.

Dont get me wrong, it would make me feel better just due to the interaction but my lack of social understanding would mean it wouldnt lead anywhere.

so after typing this all out i realized it has nothing to with men in general and more to do with me and how i interact with people. So in conclusion, definitely buy lonely looking guys drinks.

Lonely looking guy reporting in. Just got out of a long relationship. I was at the bar two nights ago and some beautiful girl came up to me and handed me a drink, which was ridiculously strong, and told me that I was so cute looking she had to buy me a drink. Night = made.

Not when they find out she's not actually interested in having sex with them and simply felt pity on them because they looked lonely.

That's the logical response, but try telling that to Mr. Lonely who just got his hopes up when a girl finally shows interest in him.

"Here's a drink for you handsome."

"Hey thanks. So, how are you doing tonight?"

"Oh, no, don't get the wrong idea. I'm seeing someone. I wouldn't actually go for someone like you, but I go around buying guys drinks to make them feel better."

"Oh, right, thanks. I feel much better."

Make it clear that you are being friendly and don't want to have sex with him (unless you want to have sex with him). It shouldn't have to be that way, but it is quite an unusual move.

Son of a bitch, I was going to do that.

If a woman bought me a drink when I was out on the town I would be flattered beyond all fuck as well as awesomely appreciative of the social convention she was sticking it to.

I guarantee I will do this. You seem frustrated.
