So, in summary, if a male conforms to my personal desires and opinions he is praised with the socially constructed label of "Man". If he does not, he is shamed with the socially constructed label of "Boy". Sounds about right...

A man pays for dinner if he asks you out.

(And if you asked him out, he at least makes the gesture to pay.)

To me it depends on the kind of asking out. I think a person is only obligated to pay for full if the person said something like "let me take you out on dinner" or "let me get you dinner", something along these lines.

And please, we all know that 99,9% of women will never ask a male out. And why the fuck aren't you talking about the women offering her half to pay.

A boy will also split hairs about who ordered what.

Even though he ate half of your fries and was the one who suggested that you get an appetizer.

Because men are known for not ordering something to eat when they eat. /s

A man shows up on time.

Isn't this rather a stereotype for women, who make the man wait on purpose in order to seem hard to get?

A man thinks ahead and plans for his future.

A man thinks ahead and plans for her future, you mean?

Just wanting to invest in his future is a good sign. He doesn’t actually have to have a Roth IRA and a stock portfolio, though that would be nice.

Nice for them gold digging whores, I presume?

A man will engage with your friends and family.

Even if it almost kills him.

A man will let go of his integrity and will pretend to like people he hates and you are fine with that? Oh, boy.

A man knows how to respond to, “Do I look fat in this?”

It’s always “no.”

Why the fuck would you ask a question if you do not want an honest answer. Do you want a spineless chump?

I’m sorry on behalf of my gender.

Fuck you, no, you are not sorry on behalf of me, you cunt.

Lets change it around, right? I mean, two can play that game, right?

10 difference between a girl and a lady.

"1. A man pays for dinner if he asks you out. A man pays for dinner if he asks you out. And if you asked him out, he at least makes the gesture to pay. A boy will also split hairs about who ordered what. Even though he ate half of your fries and was the one who suggested that you get an appetizer.§

A lady will learn to respect a return of investment, and will not "lead people on". For a lady, if she is not that much into you, she will not go above "a coffee in the breakroom", and not wait untill you take her to see cats in las vegas to declare the state of her feelings towards you.

A girl will just think she is gods gift to all of mankind, and should be cherished and loved no matter how she behaves.

(That includes only ordering a small salad and then stealing ALL of my french fries AND my dessert. )

"2. A man shows up on time. And if he is running late he will let you know. A boy shows up an hour late, having lost track of time playing Call of Duty."

A woman knows how long her makeup takes, and in what she looks good. A girl will take forever, and can't decide

"3. A man thinks ahead and plans for his future. Just wanting to invest in his future is a good sign. He doesn’t actually have to have a Roth IRA and a stock portfolio, though that would be nice. A boy plans as far as lunch. And even those plans aren’t set in stone."

A Lady will have otgher plans then being a hausfrau, and her own interests. A girl just "wants to marry rich".

"4. A man is cool with you hanging out with your guy friends. A boy gets “jelly” when you do. He also uses the word “jelly.”"

A Lady can accept that you are not flirting with every female you are friendly to. She will use this to make her "claim" on you visible, and make you feel appreciated. A girl is so insecure in her own feelings that she feels the need to cry endlessly whenever you even look at an other female below the age of your mother, just so you have to tell her exactly what she wants to know.

"5. A man will engage with your friends and family. Even if it almost kills him. A boy says he “just isn’t ready for that, yet.” Other things he’s not ready for: settling down, getting a job, returning your box set of Arrested Development, etc."

A Lady will know that sometimes, a man may not be available or comfortable to be paraded around like one of these drowned carpet rats. That is what dogs are for. She will therefore give him his space, and follow her own interests, and if she really feels the need to have him show up alongside her, she will "make it worth his while", and in return, expect the same of him. A girl will pay endless respect to the myriad of magazines designed to break down female self confidence and ruin relationships, and try to be around her partner 24/7, clinging to him like a tick.

"6. A man has opinions on where to eat. Even if it is a simple, “Sounds good to me.” A boy says, “You pick.” Then proceeds to shut down every suggestion you make."

A lady knows what she wants, and will even be headstrong about it. She will however also know thze financial means of her significant other, and pick accordingly. A girl will be so insecure that she wants to shut down everything you say, only for the correct choice to remain as the last possible option.

"7. A man doesn’t take himself too seriously. A boy does and cannot take a joke. Seriously, not everything is a personal affront. Take a chill pill, OK?"

A lady does not amuse herself at her sihgnificant others cost, except when he can laugh with her about himself, or she is known to have a good sense of humor and he has confirmed it. A girl will make jokes just to gain appreciation and reward for "dating such a joke", while flipping out at the merest thought of someone doing the same to her.

"8. A man thinks farts are funny. A boy thinks farts are funny too. This one is sort of a wash. Although, farting on you he finds hilarious."

A lady will know that there is some intrinsical difference between the sexes, and that because she does not wants her weak points to be used against herm, she should not use male weak points against them. A Girl will just do as she pleases, and expect everybody to "check their priviledge" if they complain.

"9. A man knows how to respond to, “Do I look fat in this?” It’s always “no.” A boy suffers from foot-in-mouth disease. I’m sorry on behalf of my gender."

A lady will not ask questions she does not want an honest answer to. A girl will.

"10. A man is a considerate lover. A boy is considerately not."

A lady will be not afraid of her sexuallity, and of being vocal / active about it. A girl will just lie there and demand satisfaction, while acting like a fish.

A man is there when you need a shoulder to cry on. A boy is nowhere to be found.

A Lady knows that if she does her job right, a man will feel comfortable enough around her that he will let loose, and allow her to discover an entirely different side of him, and that these moments should not be shared with her friends.

A Girl will scream girl power, while multi messaging her BFF's about how her special someone really is.

crackinthewall · 2013-11-21T02:34:45+00:00

First picture in and I knew it was written by a man. It's so incredibly sexist (against men) and it enforces the dating status quo.

DownShatCreek · 2013-11-21T04:03:06+00:00

A man will write things of value to society. A boy will write content mill click bait shit.

pjwork · 2013-11-20T23:00:04+00:00

A man has opinions on where to eat. A boy says, “You pick.”

Sometimes I just don't give a fuck and I know my fiancee is a picky eater... Must be a boy.

/sadface

JayBopara · 2013-11-21T02:29:10+00:00

This is hilarious. Because all the PUA's will behave like boys, and ironically enough, it will give them a better chance to be with the girl. Ha ha. This is like dating advice from feminists! Except for the one where the man picks the place to have dinner!

IAmTheBauss · 2013-11-21T02:15:22+00:00

Prease don't link to buzzfeed. I had to click my back button about 10 times. Also this page is pretty shit.

Caesar914 · 2013-11-21T05:05:12+00:00

Top comment on the article. Love it:

"Does the author of this article also wear a fedora?"

Snoobala · 2013-11-21T02:19:42+00:00

So for 9... A man will lie (if the true answer is yes). Uh-huh.

ILoveHate · 2013-11-21T15:15:25+00:00

Is it just me or do most of these "A man" represent guys and "a boy" represent women? I'm getting that vibe. Like a man pays for dinner, a "boy" will always keep track of who ordered what (just go out with a few girls and you'll see this happening every time). Or a man has an idea of where to eat, a boy will say "you pick". I don't think I've ever dated a girl that picked a place for us to eat.

Ivan_Fackoff · 2013-11-21T06:04:05+00:00

wtf do you expect from boozefeed?

My Sides.

theskepticalidealist · 2013-11-21T06:37:55+00:00

Look but guyz, this is MEN'S fault. Obviously women don't really think this way.... all men have to do is stop it.

nwz123 · 2013-11-21T09:55:11+00:00

It's like everyone's laboring under one mass-illusion where the language we use to describe men, their role in society, and 'what' they are isn't dehumanizing and demoralizing....

MacroHacks · 2013-11-21T09:55:36+00:00

Well crap... I'm a boy on at least 3 or 4 accounts. Better go change my personality so woman will actually appreciate me as a human being... Wait... Did that sound familiar to anyone? It sounds to me like there are people out there that are sexist for each gender, not just woman.

5th_Law_of_Robotics · 2013-11-21T15:27:59+00:00

But remember: gender roles are created solely by and for men and against women.

KillJoy575 · 2013-11-21T15:57:48+00:00

Goddamn this list is fucking stupid.

OkamiKageteiru · 2013-11-21T17:56:54+00:00

Blegh, stuff like this is just stupid, I wouldn't take it seriously.

apathos_destroys · 2013-11-21T04:57:28+00:00

So this high-school level article is worthy of a r/mensrights post? Why don't we pick apart cosmo sex tips? At least they're funny. This is just sad and boring.

Le4chanFTW · 2013-11-21T04:05:04+00:00

Why editorialize like this? Even if it were an accurate summary of the article, it's not really necessary. People should read something first and draw their own conclusions based on the material present. Instead, they're greeted with a clickbait headline that causes them to dive head first into the article with preconceived notions about how horrible it is.

To the article itself, I don't see why you'd get so hung up on a garbage "Top 10" List like this. They're universally known to be trashy.

http://uk.askmen.com/top_10/dating/top-10-signs-shes-a-bitch.html

Take a chill pill when you read stuff like this, because I don't think they're always meant to be taken seriously. Letting yourself get so worked up over this is like decking that kid in elementary school who would always stick his tongue out at you. You're over-reacting to something that is meant to be intentionally provocative. They're trying to get your goat with this crap because it's what brings in ad revenue. Why do you think most of the askmen stuff is in the form of a click-thru? More page hits = more ad splashes = more money for the website. You're falling hook, line, and sinker for one of the oldest tricks in the book.

mrwhibbley · 2013-11-20T22:08:51+00:00

I read it twice and it appears to be more of a maturity/immaturity analogy than a sexism issue. Things like investment portfolios, arriving on time, not playing video games all day and so on are sign of maturity. They even mentioned that a girl should pay for dinner if she asks a guy out. Sorry. Not seeing it.
