Our society has an imaginary handbook of cultural guidelines that are understood and followed by most. You won’t ever find a physical version, and the rules are rarely mentioned in a casual conversation – however, every human is aware of its existence. There are unspoken rules for literally every aspect of your life: a friendship, relationship, parenthood, etc. – yet today, we’ll be strictly focusing on the rules that hide behind manhood.
“Men of Reddit, what are some unwritten rules we have?” – an online user took it to one of the most famous and well-liked online communities to find out what unspoken manhood laws are there. The question received over 4.4K upvotes and 3.7K worth of comments revealing the rules that every self-respecting man will follow to the end of his days. Make sure to comment below if there’s something that members of this online forum missed!
