Men Share What Made Them Feel Like Alphas Today And The Bar Is Low

It's a man's world out there and we're proud of these dudes who are out here doing the bare minimum and patting themselves on the back for it. Even though there's a wage gap and you know, a bunch of other problems for women, it's important to realize that guys just don't have it all. Sometimes their toilet paper holders are a little bit wobbly and they gotta fix it.

These guys shared what made them feel like the big apex predators they are and we're happy for them. We're cheering them on as they fight the good fight of applying deodorant every morning.

Where can I literally get a man like this? Not only does he *gasp* clean the toilet, but he's humble enough to go on the internet and ask for praise for it. Does anyone know if he's on Tinder?

Men are really out here doing the bare minimum and asking for praise for it. His wife, who probabaly has been picking up after him forever, was probably standing behind him watching him type this and just fuming.

This man discovered deodorant and yeah, we're pretty impressed. No actually. Here I was showering twice daily and applying antiperspirant and a ton of perfume to rub away my internal shame about my body, but he's gone and discovered deodorant and wow, I feel out-classed.

Love a man who can deal with his emotions in a way that doesn't destroy people or things. It's like, top five qualities I look for in a mate, right behind "not an arsonist." No wonder a babe, who is definitely real and wasn't randomly staring in his direction at the gym, was feeling his vibes.

This man added that the soundtrack to this basic dog training that literally everyone has to do was "The Man by Killers, freaking righteous!" God, thank you for your story and the song recommendation.

I suppose it is, of course. Man discovered fire after all and protects the feeble women and children, so of course, nowadays he would be responsible for home improvement. There's no such thing as female electricians or construction workers.

Whatever *thud* keeps *thud* them *thud* safe. What's that sound? Oh, it's the audible thuds of him patting himself so hard on the back after doing this obvious and menial task. Somebody get him the key to the city.

I felt more manly reading this. A woman could never handle the whole "car" thing. I hear the word "steering" and I immediately swoon like a 19th-century maiden in any form of classic literature.

Wow, He Did A Whole Eight Pull Ups

The keyword is perfect, read that again because it matters. This stud of a human being didn't just do your typical "good enough" pull-ups, he did freaking perfect ones. Only men can do those you know.

I love when the guy I'm with sees a piece of beauty and gets the unexplainable urge to destroy it then burn it. Wow, that's so hot. No, it's actually hot because he's burning the house down.

This man either was the dude American Psycho was based off of, or he's modeling his life after the movie. Either way, I can practically feel his insomnia and urge to tell everybody about how perfect he is.

Not sure what this guy is trying to say. Normally you have to take pain meds or do a lot of stretching to manage sciatica pain and even then there's not really a "cure." So... did he take an Advil and blog about it?

This man is a hero who wants to make the world a safer place for us all, so he's taking chances out here starting with the fart stigma. Fun fact, a good half of the comments on this post were about taking a dump and farting.

This man doesn't eat, sleep, or drink water before doing anything. All he needs in this wide world is a caffeine pill and a multitool. You could drop this manly man in the middle of a desert and he'd be fine as long as he had his Dremel and some Adderall.

This intellect, Redditer slayer_mike and several others who replied to his comment, felt big today because he commented "you mean an Allen wrench" on the toilet holder post. God, like, imagine being a man and knowing the words for things? Glad this guy felt good spreading his infinite wisdom.
