50 Times Men Tried To Assert Dominance But Made Fools Out Of Themselves

Recently got my first tattoo. It's a small, minimalistic one. A guy at a party keeps making fun of it when I throw the ball in beer pong as it's on my right arm I use to throw. Reason he's making fun of it is his arm is filled with big, detailed tattoos. He clearly felt I was somehow inferior due to my small tattoo. Didn't bother me too much, but that, along with other things he'd brag about, convinced me he's not a person worth caring about.

Talked about the MBA program at his Alma mater was superior to where I was getting my MBA.

For clarification, he doesn't have and isn't working on an MBA, but wanted to be sure I knew he was better because he went to a school with a perceived better program.

The people that try to act like a psychological genius and try to analyze you and figure out what kind of person you are. My friends dad does this constantly with me and misses the mark every time and it just makes him look like an idiot.

There was this sergeant I had the misfortune of working with who was one of the worst people I've ever met. He was so toxic and "alpha" that people wouldn't ask questions because they didn't want to be put down in front of their peers. He would actively go out of his way go shame what were essentially kids for not knowing something. I had zero respect for that piece of work.

My best female friend’s boyfriend, who is 100% jealous/threatened by how close I am to her, will constantly try to one-up me in conversation whenever I talk to her. He keeps an eye on me the whole time that I’m with her and as soon as I make a joke or tell a story, he jumps right in with his own thing to try and top what I said. Like, Every. Single. Time. That I speak.

Oh, that and he’ll roll up his sleeves and sit with his elbows on the table in a not-so-subtle effort to compare his biceps to mine.

So when I was in the 8th grade thre was this one kid who hated me for no reason, I was really big for my age, so there was no way this 5' 1" guy was going to fight me, so he did something so cringy I have no idea what he was going for.

I was sitting at lunch with my friends, and this kid walks up to us, and spits in my glass of milk and says in a very commanding tone: "drink", I just stood up and the kid bolted, got a good laugh out of it with my friend though.

Edit: to all asking what it tasted like, I did not drink the milk.

Edit 2: The kid bolted bolted because he was a huge chicken, never wanting to get in trouble, I'm not flexing by saying that.

I was sort of seeing/fwb with a girl a few years back. We agreed to be exclusive, but nothing serious. She was hosting an event at a bar, roughly 50-60 people in attendance, I knew maybe 20 of them, so I was making my rounds. I see her at the bar being chatted up by another dude. No worries, I trust her, I'm not a crazy protective guy either. About 15 minutes later, I go over to ask her something about the event since she was using some of my audio equipment for it. I didn't mention or even imply that we had a thing in front of the dude .

Guy says "buddy, what are you doing. We're busy chatting here." I start to reply "hey man no worries here, I just need-," and he cuts me off. "Listen man, I really don't care. If I give you a $20 bill right now, would you get lost?" I crack a smile. "Sure man." The dummy gives me a crisp 20, and I leave them alone. Spend the next half hour or so chatting with friends, girl joins me later after leaving the guy at the bar. "He was interesting, eh?" I asked her. "Yeah, I told him I wasn't interested but he told me he just wanted to meet someone new and buy me a couple of drinks." Turns out (to the surprise of nobody) that he was trying to take her home.

Anyways, hang out for the rest of the night with our friends, girls a little tipsy from her free drinks and asks me to come back with her. Just to be petty, I used that crisp 20 dollar bill to pay for the cab back to her place. Fare was something like 12 dollars, told him to keep the rest.

Thanks stranger.

TLDR; Guy gives me $20 in front of girl I was seeing so I'd go away.

When I was on a trip to Iceland my friends and I were out drinking at the bars and I met a local guy outside and as we were talking he kept trying to get close enough to me so he could put his foot on my foot. The first time he did it I just thought it was accidental. Then I could see it was what he was trying to do. I ended up telling the dude to f**k off and the situation de-escalated from there. Other local guys told me after that it's a thing they do there in Iceland to show dominance/start fights with tourists.

A guy in my uni got jealous because i was close to the girl he likes. it was really obvious, and he would always stare at me whenever i was with her.

couple days later he would show up to uni wearing tuxedo, fedora, AND AKATSUKI SCARF. walk along the hallway like it was a fashion show and proceed to give me " the smirk " everytime i saw him.

I was at this tavern in my hometown quite a few years ago. It was known for being kind of violent from time to time, and the nearby highschool was full of kids that seemed to love to a good fight, according to my then-girlfriend. I was oblivious to this fact at the time and was just out for a good time. Dancing, drinking, smoking.


I noticed this guy on the dance floor that looked like he could've been Dave Grohl's twin. So as I was dancing around, I yelled that exact thing at him. "Dude you look like Dave Grohl! That's awesome!" And his immediate response was to scream out "I hate Dave Grohl" and stop dancing completely. With this sincere rage in his eyes.


I couldn't help but laugh at his response, which definitely didn't make the situation better. I had seen someone getting choked out by the bouncer maybe 20 minutes prior. Yes. Choked out. So who knew what this random high school kid was willing or wanting to do but thankfully a few friends were nearby and seeing my obvious confidence he just glared and walked away.

Who hates Dave Grohl? The man's a gem.
