    Eating out alone is great. You get to be adjacent to people without actually needing to interact with them.

      It does suck when there’s a bunch of stuff you want to try on the menu and itd be way easier if there were other people so you can share. Or when it’s a type of food that’s better for a group like hot pot or Korean bbq

    As a dude, drinking sweet cocktails instead of beer and not having more than one or two drinks. First of all, I have the asian flush so I get red very easily. Even if I’m not drunk at all, I look like it. So I nurse my drink and sip slowly. I also usually don’t have more than 2 in a night. And if I’m gonna nurse a drink, I might as well have something that tastes delicious.

    Breaking the “rules” of masculinity.

    Many years ago I worked for a medical company. A coworker (Boomer dude) and I were demonstrating a lift mechanism when I made the joke: last time I got in a harness, there was a safe word.

    The joke killed, but my coworker was mad for weeks because in the joke, I implied we were going to have sex.

      I think it’s totally reasonable to be mad at someone for being sexually suggestive, especially in a work environment.

    Being wrong.

    I’m wrong sometimes, no big deal. Finding out what is correct is just another learning experience.

      On the same note, going to the cinema alone or eating out alone. If you want to go with someone and can’t find anyone, that’s sad, but I only bother with a movie ticket these days when it’s something I really want to let soak in. That works just as well alone, if not better, and my family doesn’t have the same taste in movies as me. For eating alone, it could get old if it were all the time, but sometimes just a book and me and some food that’s better than I could easily manage, it’s really nice.

      Tbh it’s moreso safety concerns than social embarrassment that keeps me from going to shows alone, but if I lived closer to my venues and didn’t have to drive an hour across town I’d probably go alone more often too

    I don’t care if people - even strangers - see me naked. I don’t walk around nude or anything, not because of shame or embarrassment, but because I don’t wanna inflict such a visage on anyone against their will. But someone having seen my dick doesn’t make me embarrassed at all. For example, if someone walks in on me changing, or if someone yanks my pants down as a prank out in public, none of that bothers me in the slightest. In fact, I sometimes feel like I have to pretend to be a little embarrassed just because I worry that people will think I’m into public exhibitionism or something. It’s better for the other person if I pretend to be shocked/panicking. It’s weirder for them if I just stand there with my shlong out and start talking to them like nothing is out of the ordinary. But I really don’t give a shit.

    Poo. Everyone needs to do it. Some people have bags instead of bumholes. I have a condition which means I need medication or I’ll shit myself into a serious illness or injury. How many people would be saved if they weren’t so hung up on talking about their poo?

      I have a girl friend who has some of the loudest shits. They rival dad shits. It always impresses me because I’m still pretty shy about loo tooting.

        I didn’t know how old you are, but I’m at an age when I’ve realized that I likely won’t outgrown laughing when I hear someone else in a public bathroom rip a fart while taking a dump.

        Made for a very awkward video, wherein a ton of people shat themselves in their cars and then got out and wandered around, looking for a bathroom.

        We’ve all done it, but we didn’t mingle with each other afterwards.
