Another thing that disturbs me about these "Superheros" is that when a random man and woman are in an argument, these men always want to step in as "Captain Save A...".
I absolutely have no respect for white knights and men who think violence (by women) against their own is funny.
Male pride and male ego is a very strong force. What you are saying is easier said then done. Im just being honest about how I felt about a random man challenging me like he is a better man. Cause in my book someone could get hurt or killed. Millions of men are dead and in prison over the power force none as the male ego. You have it, I have it. Its a skill to master it, but when the heat is on...what can you do.

I know you're older and this is not to diminish you but the concept is the same. Sometimes I'd get some kid in my class who wanted to challenge me and I'd be getting ready to send him to the office but I always wanted to give him one more chance before I did. So I'd fix him/her with my special, over the reading glasses, hairy eyeball and say, "Am I worth it? Am I worth throwing away your school career and thus your future just because you wanted to challenge this little substitute teacher?" They usually backed down and got to work or at least went to sleep because they realized that I was totally not worth it to them.
By the same concept, is it worth it to go to jail or lose your gf or your job because some idiot said something stupid to you? I don't see a man who walks away from a stupid fight as less manly--I see him as someone who doesn't bother with fools. As you said, it's a skill to master it and we all have challenges. Apparently this one is yours.
One time I was at a gas station helping my sister out with car. She didn't need my help at the moment and when needed, I would help her out. But then a guy with his woman comes over and asks me "Aye man, why ain't you helping her out? Don't let her do all the work." I wanted to curse him out like and say "She didn't need my help at the moment. So mind your own business!"
I know many of you are going to say I'm whining or have anger problems, but I personally cannot stand men who feels the need to shame or embarrass another man, just to please his woman and prove that he's better than the other man. At the same time, I can't stand any man who randomly harasses any random guy with other people (especially women) around. My sister actually agreed with me that the man should have minded his own business and not embarrass me like that.
What do you think of a man who front themselves in front of their wives or girlfriends and feels the need to shame other men at the same time?
If I had a girlfriend and I saw that another man wasn't helping another woman for whatever reason, I would basically mind my own business and give no thought. I don't need to shame another man to prove to her that I'm better than him.
A situation as you described, I would mind my own business. Who am I to tell some other guy he needs to help his spouse out of the car. I do cringe when the guy hides under the bed and makes his wife open the door though. Send her down the hallway first kind of thing. C'mon, are you a man or a mouse? The same for the dude steering and his wife is pushing. Pathetic, and I will never look at that guy the same again. He's a wuss!
What ever happened to laughing off and letting it roll off? See it for what it is and tell him simply as you laugh..."Keep it moving" "When I want your opinion I will give it you"...and smile...

I wouldn't even say anything. Guys who always get bent or butthurt over piddly things seem to have other issues. Why are you jealous of other men? That guy shouldn't have opened his pie-hole but it wouldn't have bothered me enough to start a freakin' thread about it!

A man can't start a thread to vent his frustrations on the matter? Tell that to women who might have experienced the same thing from other women.
I'm not jealous of other men, boy. I just can't stand guys who shame their own.
F int Superheroes.....Hate em hate em hate em!!! They feel they can save every woman in the world. Superheroes are the lamest men ever. Ive had a few try me in my life and I didnt hesitate to start the physical challenge...girlfriends can **** you off enough, but when random Superhero steps in all I see is blood. Older guys like my dads age are normally the ones to do it, but there are reactions to bad actions.

I agree, those type of men are pretty much the wannabe alpha macho type guys... its just pathetic. Note I said wannabe because thats all those guys are. They want to seem tough... But when they do stuff like that they really just look like insecure jerks.
REAL alpha men are the strong silent types, think Gary Cooper.
Combination of that and captain save a ho syndrome. Ugly combination.
