Guys may not readily admit it, but they’re adept at social media stalking. Whether it’s stalking an ex online or checking out their new crushes’ interests, the online investigation game is strong. I don’t think they can ever, however, be as skilled as us women are though!

2. Dancing in Private

While they may avoid the dance floor in public, guys might secretly showcase their dance moves when no one is watching. This includes some cringey background music (maybe a bit of Spice Girls) which they wouldn’t be seen dead listening to in public.

3. Morning Pee Mishaps

One of the less glamorous aspects of morning rituals is the occasional misfire during the early bathroom visit. Whether it’s due to half-opened eyes or unexpected morning grogginess, guys might find themselves dealing with the aftermath of a wayward stream.

4. Enjoying a Good Rom-Com

Guys secretly love a good romantic comedy, but you won’t catch them admitting it to their buddies. The cinematic gems, filled with heartwarming moments, become a private source of entertainment for guys who appreciate a good laugh and a touch of romance but prefer to keep it hush-hush among their pals.

5. ‘F
orgetting’ to Lift the Toilet Seat

We’ve all gone to use the toilet and seen bits of residue left behind. It really doesn’t take much effort to lift the toilet, does it? However, most men would disagree, leaving us with the responsibility to clean up their mess if we want to be able to use the toilet.

6. Undercover Cuddlers

In the private confines of personal space, many guys secretly crave the comforting embrace of cuddles. Despite the tough exterior presented to the world, the desire for warmth and closeness is a universal human need.

8. Like to Be Little Spoon

Despite societal expectations, some guys secretly harbour a desire to be the little spoon, revelling in the comforting embrace that this position offers. While they may not openly admit it, the allure of being held and cocooned in warmth holds a special place in their unspoken preferences.

Imagining Fighting Every Guy That Comes By

Depending on how testosterone fuelled up the guy is, some men claim that when walking past other guys they imagine whether they can take them in a fight or not. Even if they don’t physically fight the guy, they love to boost their ego by picturing a hypothetical situation of victory.

9. Fingernail Reminense

As guys embark on the routine task of nail maintenance, a peculiar aftermath unfolds – the scattered remnants of clipped nails. Let’s thank the world for hoovers which can take up the nasty responsibility of getting rid of the evidence of this horrible habit.

10. Body Dysmorphia

Bigorexia, an unspoken struggle characterised by an obsessive desire to achieve an extremely muscular physique. Social media creates a norm for how men should look to be perceived as ‘attractive’ today, feeding into distorted perceptions of how men view their bodies, creating a complex emotional struggle.

11. Tensing in the Mirror

Although these men do have struggles with their appearance, there is no doubt they still love a good stare in the mirror. This admiration will not be left alone without a tense in the mirror, to see how big they can really make themselves look. The joys of ego feeding in men!

12. Boys and Their Stickiness

In the scorching heat of summer, guys have a discreet strategy for dealing with the stickiness that comes with the territory. A vigorous leg shake becomes an unspoken ritual, aimed at liberating certain sensitive regions from the inevitable thigh adhesion, offering a momentary reprieve from the discomfort of the heat.

13. Having a Snot on Their Sleeve

When the cold and flu season strikes, guys often find themselves in a battle against runny noses. In moments of nasal desperation, the sleeve becomes an unwitting hero – a convenient and discreet tissue alternative. Let’s just hope they’ll at least wash this item of clothing!

14. Picturing False Scenarios

To our delight, we aren’t the only one filling up our days daydreaming about our crush. Men do this too, maybe even more so than us. And dreams? All his dreams are going to be about you. Once a man is in love, he falls HARDER than the majority of women.

15. Peeing Standing Abnormally Far From the Toilet

When you’ve got to pee several times a day every day, this activity can get a little boring. Men love to spice up their pee game with different distances and angles, with the aim of trying to make the activity that little bit more fun. Men’s urinals sound like a fun place to be!

17. The Roman Empire

Have you ever asked your male friends how much they think about the Roman Empire? According to TikTok, most men think about the roman empire on a weekly basis. Some men even daily. Fantasises involve how cool it would be to be a Roman and living in an era so different to now.

17. Checking Out Their Female Friend’s Boobs

In moments where a hint of cleavage catches their eye, guys might find themselves instinctively drawn to steel a discreet glance. Although they might try their hardest to not have a look, some men find it objectively too difficult not to have a peer.

18. Fancying Their Attractive Female Friends

Ladies, although you may not want to accept this fact, but, your guy friends would 100% try it on with you if you gave them the opportunity. It’s not uncommon for guys to find themselves secretly fancying their attractive female friends but admitting these feelings is too humiliating, leading many guys to keep their subtle crushes concealed.

19. Fantasising About Being an American Footballer

What man wouldn’t love to become a professional football player? Whether it’s imagining the thrill of a touchdown or the camaraderie in the locker room, the desire to be an American footballer occupies a special corner of the male imagination, even if it’s a topic rarely brought to light.

20. Wearing Jeans for More Than a Month Without Washing Them

In a silent battle against laundry days, some guys secretly embark on a denim durability challenge, wearing their jeans for an extended period without a wash. The unspoken commitment to pushing the limits of wear and tear becomes a personal experiment, testing the resilience of both fabric and patience

21. Peeing in the Shower

Although I am sure we can all admit to urinating in the shower once in our lives, men take to this activity almost all the time. I mean compared to most lazy activity’s men embark in, this one is not the worst – even though the toilet is in the exact same room.

22. Peeing in the Sink

Image Source: reddit.com
This one however, women most definitely DO NOT relate to. Most men cannot be bothered for the commute to the toilet, so for those that have a sink nearby, say those with one in their bedroom, will just enjoy a pee from the comfort of their bed. Ahh the laziness of the male species hey?

23. Hand Hygiene Excuses

In the realm of bathroom behaviours, there exists an unspoken confession – some guys forego the hand washing ritual, insisting they ‘didn’t touch anything’. This common but rarely acknowledged practice becomes a discreet justification, allowing for a quick exit from the bathroom.

24. Sniffing Their Armpits to Determine If They Need a Shower

Too add to the male laziness, guys have a discreet method for determining the optimal shower time – sniffing their armpits. This olfactory self-assessment serves as a pragmatic gauge, silently guiding them in the delicate balance between casual freshness and the undeniable need for a shower.

25. Unspoken Insecurities

Image Source: reddit.com
Despite projecting an image of confidence, guys often harbour insecurities they prefer to keep locked away. Whether its concerns about appearance, career, or personal relationships, these doubts can lurk beneath the surface. The unspoken nature of these insecurities adds another layer to the complex tapestry of the male experience.

26. Masturbating, Then Wiping Up With the First Thing They Can Reach

Image Source: reddit.com
Instead of investing in a toilet roll or wipes to store in their bedroom, men’s logic assumes that using a dirty sock or anything that’s closest to sight seems the most efficient thing to do. I would hate to know how many times the same sock has been used for this purpose.

27. Itch Management Ritual

Image Source: reddit.com
Performing a sort of massaging motion on their t*sticles because they itch badly and it’s the only way to scratch the itch without hurting themselves. When an intense itch strikes in a rather sensitive area, guys resort to a discreet and specialised technique – a gentle massaging motion on their testicles.

28. Blowing Their Nose in the Shower

When nasal congestion strikes, guys adopt a subtle strategy for dealing with it – a discreet nose-blowing session in the shower. The combination of warm water and privacy transforms this everyday act into a part of the shower symphony, where the unspoken battle against a runny nose takes centre stage.

29. Ignoring Health Issues

The reasons behind this silent battle can vary – form fear of acknowledging a potential problem to a reluctance to disrupt the status quo. This silent narrative often plays out in the shadows, where concerns are pushed aside, creating a complex interplay between physical well-being and the art of denial.

30. Being Friendlier to More Attractive Women

Maybe because they want to flirt with the girl, but most men will put in a lot more effort with women they perceive as more attractive and ignore the girls they deem as ugly. While unintentional most of the time, this tendency can contribute to nuanced social hierarchies and shape the unspoken dynamics within social circles.
