What's something that men think is impressive, but really isn't?

[worldshottestmom]

Beep beep, come on traffic

Speaking of traffic, mine is when men (or boys, rather) rev their bloody engines on their cars that sound like they're about to explode. No, please, don't speed off, open the boot to your clapped out Corsa, I want to get in.

Also since going back to the gym, forgot how awful the men are there for showing off. There's this one in particular at my gym and idk if he's just mentally deranged or what but anytime he does any exercise he roars like a buffoon and I feel my vagina drying up a little more each time. It is so unnecessary. He will be easing his way through bicep curls, pretty much screaming and grunting for each one. Also has a horrifically embarassing habit of punching his chest, twice, every so often.

Give me your opinions and stories; what is something that men do that they think is impressive, but really, really isn't...

make my Saturday evening ✨

Omg I am dying to see the CCTV footage of this that is actually golden 😭😭😂

"Albino pepperami in a string vest" ffs hahaha I want to have a roll of stickers with this printed on, and covertly gift them to the public as I see fit

Its also always an incredibly basic dish. Like its never "my famous beef Wellington" or "my famous sole meunière" its always my famous chilli/curry/bolognese

Oooof, I want that comeback framed on my wall. What a legend you are for saying that hahaha mic drop. Yeah I find penises boring. Like yeah fun during sex but how cocky (punintended) they are over their actual cocks is ironically a turn off for me. Most definitely not impressive.

Can't say I know anyone who owns a yacht, or is a member of a yacht club, and now I'm so deeply glad that I don't lmao

Some sort of hilarious story of a prank or escapade from school/college. No I am not impressed by something incredibly juvenile you did 25 years ago!

Oh also: going out with someone younger.

Im currently going out with a guy 5 years younger than me but I don't see it as a reflection of my value or anything.
Men seem to think this means they're some kind of sex rock god

Flexing their 'sensitive' side and pretending to be feminists. Just to impress us. You are so transparent, Nigel.

100% spot on. I genuinely don't understand how someone who never cooks somehow ends up with a signature dish. My dad probably cooked fewer than ten times in his entire life outside of this. He wouldn't have known how to peel a potato or boil an egg (different generation, different culture). But every Christmas had to have "meat a la francaise" by dad (Soviet staple, known as veal Orloff otherwise, a very basic bake despite the fancy name).

Or reading/carrying around some weighty book that they think makes them look clever. Think gravity's rainbow or infinite jest. I did also walk in on a (male) colleague boring another poor (female) colleague to death wanging on about Ulysses. If he'd taken 30 seconds to talk to her he'd have known she was writing a masters thesis about that very tome at the time...

I don't think that's what she was doing, or anyone here, she was simply stating when men do this they think it's impressive but it really isn't lol

Burping is actually repulsive but have met a few boys who do this and think it's impressive!

Honestly I'm so relieved that not all of them do it for that reason. Some definitely do though!

Any man holding a fish in a photo is a no for me. It's just so cringe I get secondhand embarrassment every time.

Ah I do love motorbikes tbh, idk why but they are so hot. A guy once revved his at me at a traffic light once and its the only time a revving engine has done anything for me haha. Helps that he was hot, too, so far as I could tell with his helmet on. I feel like helmets can be catfish disguises sometimes

Hahahaha if im feeling ballsy enough im gonna say that next time lmfao

Ah god most of them would probably die in childbirth, a lot of them really are wimps at their core

They're always disappointing, aren't they

Unless asked for, yes, every time

Driving fast.

but why "men"?

One man they know possibly, but it's not something that MEN do and WOMEN don't?

A lot of the comments describe some weird unpleasant guy someone knows, doesn't apply to any of the men I know.

If you say "sending a dick pic" , then yes, that's a man thing! And no, it's not impressive.

I did have a good laugh recently with DH abd his motorbike. I was following him to the garage so he could drop it off for its MOT... and the worksvan next to him at the traffic lights actually wound their window to ask him about the bike.

So maybe motorbikes are attractive to other men. (The bike gets a bit of attention. Its on its last legs but apparently very cool. DH isnt cool.)

Expensive cars

Being an 'influencer'

Having big muscles is impressive in one sense, like the dedication and effort but it's not at all attractive to most women as I think most women would see it as indicating vanity and meaning a bloke will spend all his time in the gym and not have other hobbies. Not necessarily true, but that's the impression it gives.

Having a willy

Go over to him and ask if he’s ok.

Tell him it reminded you of when your DC had constipation.

Sfx Silvery laugh

this!
my husband actually seems to think (weirdly, unbelievably!) that no other male could have got me pregnant?!! (did he really find it that difficult 🤪)

Their obsession with boy racer type cars, complete with large, loud exhausts, obnoxious spoilers etc.

The insistence of recounting tales of their amazingly impressive, alcohol fuelled skills playing pool, never mind taking any opportunity presented to showcase them at every venue with a pool table.

Upon realising I’m interested in football, the automatically assumption that I’ll be falling over my own feet for them to magnanimously bestow upon me their obviously unique and insightful football knowledge. Which, usually much to their chagrin, tends to be limited and often far inferior to mine!

Their transformation into instant cavemen/viking style warrior Gods whenever they get in front of a BBQ and start grilling meat. Calm the shite down Dave….it’s a burger from your local Sainsbury’s, not an antelope you speared and skinned yourself on the frigging savannah! 🙄

Hahaha this would be me lmao

Realest comment on the thread tbh couldn't agree more. Massive cocks just hurt and they typically don't know what to do with it. Good oral over a big cock any day of the week

Cutting the umbilical cord.
