The need to make everything into a competition or to one-up any story or anecdote.

I know plenty of women who do the same

Case in point.

Were talking about the fellas, why even bring this up besides as some weird defensive thing?

[-] Pothetato@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

I'd say because if we're trying to find things unique to guys it's relevant to point out when it isn't unique.

[-] JWBananas@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

That's the joke.

I hope.

That’s nothing!

Ever seen a group of guys stuck in a terminal one-downsmanship spiral of mutual unaccountability?

It’s epic bro. Totally blows the doors off your example.

That reminds me of a story, buddy and me fell overboard and when someone threw us a lifesaver he bet me I couldn't lap the boat before getting rescued. Long story short we did six laps and we're both dead now.

Oh yeah?? Well, when I fall overboard, I drown! (Because I can't swim)
