What is the dumbest thing you've ever seen a man do to “prove” their “manhood”? (Reddit)
Some responses:
- I knew a dude who said, "Oven mitts are for [wusses]" and then proceeded to grab a hot pizza tray out of the oven bare-handed.
- Jump off a balcony onto an uneven, rocky hillside. The first time he did it, he only got a few scrapes. Second time, he broke his leg and wouldn’t admit he needed medical attention until 24 hours later when he passed out from the pain.
- Try to “ride” an alligator.
- Light his arm on fire, with lighter fluid. He had to have skin grafts.
- Refuse to say the word "selfie. Dude called it a "selfo" because "selfie" sounded too girly.
- Shoot a bottle rocket out of his butt crack.
- This one kid at my old school ate a bee to prove he wasn't scared of them.
- Snort paprika.
- I saw a guy snort a massive line of the freeze dried, instant coffee. He definitely regretted it.
- Staple his leg with a staple gun to demonstrate that he “doesn’t feel pain like normal people.” Spoiler alert, he does.
- My male friends and I kept trying to stick our hands in a deep sink full of hot, murky water to try to unplug the drain. We all tried for a while, keeping our hands in as long as we could while the others taunted them. Eventually, one of their girlfriends came in, looked at us like we were idiots, ran cold water into the sink until it was lukewarm, then reached in and unplugged it.
- I was at a bonfire with friends a few years back and the guys were all egging each other on. One dude throws on a hard hat and runs head first into a tree as fast as his drunken legs can carry him, and he falls to the ground, but says, "Bring me another beer." All the rest of the guys were praising him for being "so tough"... but the dude went to the doctor 2 days later and was diagnosed with a concussion. Dumbest thing I've ever seen someone do, I swear

This is a great story …Last year, 10-year-old Vivian Anderson of Tampa, Florida, was in the car with her mom when she saw a “Men Working” sign. Vivian asked her mom, “Why is there a sign that says 'Men Working,' but men and women are both working?” Her mom, Mary, suggested she write a letter to newly elected Mayor Jane Castor, and let her know her concerns. It took almost a year, but on September 30th Vivian received an invitation to City Hall to meet with the mayor and review the newly revised signage, which now states, “Workers Present.” She was also gifted a hard hat and a signed street sign that reads, "Vivian M. Anderson Way," which now hangs in her bedroom. "She was very excited," her mom said. "I think it gave her a lot of confidence that people will listen to kids. Kids can make a difference." (GMA)
Coronavirus has changed a lot of things … including our living situations. According to the Pew Research Center, 52% of Americans in their 20s are currently living with their parents – many having moved back home because of the pandemic. It’s the largest number of 20-somethings living with their parents since the Great Depression. (Insider)
