So, do you see what other men want their fellow men to stop doing immediately? Those were just 20 of over 5,100 comments, so you can rest assured there are a lot of things men need to stop doing.

To summarize, an alpha male isn't one who acts carelessly because he thinks it's cool, but one who's careful, considerate, and responsible. It'll only be a matter of time before you repel people because you think you're too cool for everyone, you know?

Let's just step back and analyze this whole 'manhood' situation because 5,000 people can't be wrong! You're great the way you are, but what makes you a great person is when others think that too.
