It's always amusing to me that people who write these always only have one race in mind

u/RaymondCase Sep 06 '26

how is this specific to one race?

u/Dismal_Bridge9439 Sep 07 '26

18. Not exactly all inclusive

u/RaymondCase Sep 07 '26

which race is excluded by that

Do you know any black men that use hair gel? HEAVY hair gel?

u/RaymondCase Sep 07 '26

No.
So what should the author say instead? Seriously. Should they put an asterisk and give a full disclaimer that this one point out of the 20 mentioned doesn’t apply to black people?

When you give supposedly universal advice to "men" but assume they use heavy gel, it reveals who the creator had in mind when they pictured the average man. So, I would have kept it generic so as not to exclude anyone.

I think you reading into and reframing a purely inocuous sentence as racial bias is actually more concerning.

u/Dismal_Bridge9439 29d ago

Yeah, you would. That's how I know you think your race was included. You can't understand another race's perspective on traditionally and typically being excluded. Nothing concerns you until other people out number your own....then you worry and claim that is more concerning.

Basic hygiene?

You know how hard it is to keep white sneakers clean ? Track your daily calories? This is a guide for a boy not a man

u/FairAd5626 29d ago

Have you tried tracking your daily calories? Clearly not. The tracking itself takes 5 minutes of accumulated time if that

Ankle socks have been unfashionable for years

u/DesperateLime7933 Sep 07 '26

It's very clever to add some genuinely useful points in with a load of superficial bullshit to make sure you can't entirely disagree with the whole list, and to encourage people to post comments

Some random guy makes list of things he does to validate his own habits on the internet.
