Negs aren't always obvious but men tell on themselves so here are some more recent ones i have heard:

(Me on the left, scrotes on the right)

Mentioning I travel - "you get around a lot" "that's a lot of moving round for someone your age"

Mentioning my age - "really?" "You look young /good for your age"

I'm getting in shape again - "I am a tubby fatty too" "yeah I like to eat too" "nothing wrong with that" "you're not fat you're thicc" "have you tried insert crash diet gimmicks and him trying to educate me"

I have a small business - "Really?" "OH so you know all the tax loopholes" "that can't pay much" "I prefer my cooperate job I wouldn't want to do that"

Mentioning my favorite types of food - "you like that stuff" "but why go there when you could go to other restaurant I only get it from that other restaurant"

Mentioning meal prep - "that's so much work. Ugh" "I would rather get fast food"

Mentioning I used to repair phones/code in college and that I don't do it anymore (I would fix my own stuff and friends) - "really" "I only take my phone to a professional if it has an issue" "you need to have small hands for that"

If he has a certain hobby or skill even if he's not good at it and he thinks you don't know enough about it he will try to lecture /peacock to you and make negs about how he knows more than you. It's not cute its not helpful it's him being malicious and wanting to make you feel less than him.

Also if you meetup in person and he makes fun/negs you about your height. I'm shorter I've had some guys see me and immediate squat down and giggle or say ohhh you're a shortie. Others if we are out somewhere will reach over me to grab something and the point out boasting how tall they are and how easy it is to reach. A hvm would grab something you couldn't reach and not even mention it or neg your height.

He often will say these things in a spiteful manner and other times will try to act like it's "friendly conversation" when really these types of things are really negs. Him acting surprised you have a skill and going "really" implies he thinks you're top stupid to do it. Commenting on your body is not okay. Educating you about crash diets, stocks, flipping houses, etc especially when you did not ask (and when you don't know him well) is a huge neg. You don't deserve to be with someone who already hates you and is trying to cut you down. Next!
