While there can be little doubt that males have it easier than their female counterparts in general life, there are still some added pressures that come with being a man. You are expected to look after those around you while also looking after yourself and staying "strong". Arguably this model of the man is more prominent in relationships than anywhere else. Despite gender roles in society changing drastically over the last few decades, there is still an undoubted expectation for men to foot the bill at the end of a meal, to open doors to people and just generally remain chivalrous.
While some men struggle in this role, others prosper. The men below are absolutely smashing the boyfriend game out of the park and putting the rest of us to shame. Take a look at the below and be prepared to step up your romance game.
1. Netflix and Chill has just got a whole new meaning
2. He will always be with her, wherever he serves
3. Life goals = bacon roses
4. Crafted with love
5. This guy made an engagement ring with a quarter from the year his fiancé was born.. show off
6. Hand-crafted Harry Potter books? Urm, yes please
7. The perfect hangover spot
8. The sweetest remedy for the sighs
9. WELL, THIS IS THE GREATEST GIFT EVER, ISN'T IT?
10. Yeah, but how much do I weigh though?
11. "I lov UE"? Joking, what a lovely thing to wake up to.
12. Nice shelf! But shouldn't there be some water in that bath?
13. 7,000 post-it notes later...
14. And this guy, who is representing for the rest of us!
If you ever feel like you are underachieving in your relationship, you are. Buck up your ideas and think of a creative way to show your loved one how much you cherish them. Or, y'know, you could make them a mutilated pug cake... that should work as well.

Ah, dating. That nightmarish experience where we try as hard as possible to hide who we really are from someone in the hopes of coming across really cool and not seeming like a goofy idiot. Then one day you meet someone who, right from the off, makes you feel able to indulge in all your worst, stupidest, goofiest habits right from the off, even if it means staging ridiculous pranks that would annoy most people.
The best relationships start when you've finally found someone with the same sense of humor as you, who accepts you even when you're at your stupidest. These 30 boyfriends have staged ridiculous stunts that, yes, could be seen as irritating or attention-seeking or just plain dumb from a certain light, but also show that these must be some really fun relationships to be in!

The girlfriend who took this picture was very excited at first because her boyfriend had said he was going to make a bed frame. She naturally assumed it was so they could sleep together in a handmade bed.

[post_page_title]#2 This Big Night In With The Dog[/post_page_title]
This guy was left looking after the dog for the weekend and told to send his girlfriend updates on how it was going. This was the first picture he sent.

I sure hope he allowed for at least an afternoon to tidy up before she got back. It looks like it was one hell of a party.
[post_page_title]#3 This Guy Photobombing His Own Wedding Photo[/post_page_title]
Wedding photos can be very formal, serious things, and that's understandable - a lot of money and planning goes into weddings, and you want the photos to be just right. This guy isn't bothered and has decided to just be himself.
[caption id="attachment_4582" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

Personally, I think all wedding photos should have this much silliness in them. I think this is great.
[post_page_title]#4 This Unusual Christmas Lights Display[/post_page_title]
This guy's wife had been getting upset that their house didn't look very festive and saying they should put some lights up. This is what he decided to install on the front of their house.

To be fair, it's hard to get around every single chimney in the world without stopping for a toilet break at some point.
[post_page_title]#5 This Inventive Use Of Candles[/post_page_title]
This guy obviously put so much time into making a tasty-looking birthday cake that he forgot to check if they had the right candles to mark his girlfriend's 39th birthday.

His quick-thinking maths is impressive, though, as he manages to find a solution just with what he has to hand.

The baby had finally fallen asleep by the time he took the picture, but he wanted to give an impression of what he'd been like up until that point.
[post_page_title]#7 This Tinder-Chat Blanket[/post_page_title]
This guy has come up with one of the most over-the-top, and one of the sweetest, anniversary presents ever. To celebrate one year of marriage to his wife, he gets their first-ever conversation on Tinder printed onto a big blanket.

I just hope he's also this emotionally tuned-in to his girlfriend herself and not just to her cat.

This guy had to drive his toddler to the babysitter's house, but he realized too late that his wife had left with the car seat. When she asked how he was going to resolve the problem, he sent her this...

[post_page_title]#13 This Toast Origami[/post_page_title]
When you're sick, the one thing you want is for someone to just kindly go and fetch you what you want. Even better if they do it and incorporate a high-effort, low-return pun into the proceedings too.

Looks like all four teams have fairly equal control of the board at the moment, so the babies are doing very well for their first game.

Everyone's ended up having to tag along on an unwanted shopping trip at some point, whether with a parent or a partner or whatever. Not everyone has found it so terrible that they've had to resort to outside help to get out of it like this guy, though.
[caption id="attachment_4595" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

I wonder if he got picked up by anyone and hitch-hiked his way out of there?
[post_page_title]#17 This Incredible Christmas Outfit[/post_page_title]
This guy was told by his wife to dress up for a professional family Christmas photo shoot. I imagine she was thinking of a general smart-casual vibe with perhaps a festive twist. He was thinking of this...
[caption id="attachment_4596" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

It's a strong look, but hey, if you can't wear it for a professional Christmas photoshoot, there's literally no time you can ever wear it, so good on him.
[post_page_title]#18 This Gender Reveal Cake[/post_page_title]
Gender reveal parties are an odd recent fad, but the dad-to-be who went and got this cake made at least seems to understand that they're inherently a bit silly and has certainly gone with that vibe for the message.

I wonder if there were any more elderly relatives here to celebrate the imminent arrival of their grandchildren who found this less funny than others?
[post_page_title]#19 These Herb Puns[/post_page_title]
This guy decided to be helpful by labeling some of his wife's herbs. But rather than give in to boring tradition by just labeling them with their names, he's decided to incorporate some excellent puns.

[post_page_title]#20 This Tree Topper[/post_page_title]

A total failure, as far as I'm concerned. This bit of King Kong is very dramatic and emotional and not funny or silly at all. What was he thinking?
[post_page_title]#21 This Goat-in-the-Bed[/post_page_title]
This picture was taken by a woman who was woken by her husband late at night texting her and saying: "Wake up or I'm bringing the goats inside!" She ignored the text and went back to sleep and then was woken by this...

There must be more context to this story that explains it. They must have had a pet goat in the garden, right? Surely. Or did the husband steal a goat? It's an odd one, this.

To be fair, in this context the mustache does look pretty good. But it's a fairly specific context, I suppose.
As men, I have no doubt that we do plenty of things that wind women up/make them cringe. While we may think that being a macho-man and an alpha male is the key to every woman's heart, this couldn't be further from the truth. Although there is no set in stone way to attract every woman that walks the earth, there are a host of things that men could NOT do in order to make themselves a little bit more appealing.
Thankfully for us the women of Reddit has come together to reveal 14 things that guys think are attractive when they're really not.
1. I ain't sayin she a gold digger
Flaunting your money. Even as an 18-year-old, I always found it off-putting. You have money? Great. You don't have to remind me every five minutes.
2. The scent of love
Too much cologne.
3. Honesty is the best policy
Lying about yourself to impress me. it sounds obvious like that, but you don't know how many guys I talked to who lied to me about their job and sexual life and claimed it was to impress me when I discovered it and said I'm done.
4. Manners go a long way
If a guy is ever rude or condescending to customer service on my behalf or trying to impress me, I’m gone.
5. Act your age, not your shoe size
Talking like a baby. More men have tried it than I care to think about.
6. Violence doesn't solve anything
Picking fights with other guys for stupid reasons. You don't look tough or manly to me, you look immature and dumb.
7. It's not as pretty as you think
d*ck pics.
8. Give them some space
The "I'll treat you like a princess" routine. I don't like being smothered and it seems like they only do it because they think it'll make girls like them.
9. This isn't Need For Speed
Revving your car or motorcycle for attention. It's not hot, it's obnoxious.
Toupees, hairpieces, hairplugs, combovers, etc. Bald is sexy. If you’re thinning, just clip or shave or let it go. We can tell when you’re faking it, usually because you’re nervous about it. There are many of us who find bald attractive.
11. Treat women equally
When they treat women like we can't accomplish simple tasks. Especially when men say "No,women shouldn't do this."
So there you have it, gents: 14 things that you 100% should not be doing if you're trying to woo a girl. It's not that hard is it, just don't be a d**k basically.
Every year around Valentine's Day, a lot of people start putting some serious thought into their relationship status. Those who are currently with a partner do their best to show their love and appreciation for their significant other (or prepare to face some wrath once they realise they've forgotten to buy them a card), while the singletons either take it in their stride or turn the holiday into one of extreme self-pity.
Even for those who say they don't mind being on their own, though, Valentine's Day can't be the happiest day of the year - so it's understandable that some individuals might put out a sort of personals advert in order to find that special someone.
When one guy on Facebook tried to do this, though, it all ended up with him getting roasted.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Pexels]]
In a now-deleted post, an anonymous man decided that he would write a list of demands for what he wanted from a girlfriend. Unfortunately for him, the open love letter had the opposite effect to what he'd intended, and instead he ended up getting wrecked by thousands of women online.
"I'm just a 35yo soul looking for love," the post began. Not a bad start, right? Well, get ready for this rollercoaster...
"If you're between 19-23, no taller than 5'1, 43-47kg, Caucasian or maybe halfcast something exotic, have a job, license, reasonably modest car, regularly gym (no skinny-fat girls thanks), have an "innie" vagina, C cup breasts, no cheap tattoos, no face piercings, have no ex-f**k buddies or ex-boyfriends who I know or know of and also willing to move to Canberra to be my girl, have a good personality and a sense of humour, never get bratty or start arguments over nothing, and not be insecure when I don't come home all weekend, then please... hit me up [sic]."
... Wow.
Honestly, there's so much to unpack here it's tempting to just throw away the whole suitcase. But, for entertainment's sake, let's have a good look through.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Pexels]]
First of all, he's incredibly particular over what body type he wants from a woman (though his specification of an "innie" vagina suggests he might not have ever seen one naked before). Also, quite why a "reasonably modest car" would be preferable is anyone's guess, but compared to the rest of the demands it seems relatively vanilla.
Obviously, plenty of women were left in absolute dismay at his long list of bizarre requests, weren't at all keen on his attitude towards women, and were even less willing to "hit him up" and move to Canberra.
And, quite rightfully, a bunch of women decided to tell him as much.
"What a racist and misogynistic f**kwad," wrote one person.
"I was distracted by his casual racism and his blatant misogyny, and his bizarrely specific list of requirements. A 40kg weight range?! Weirdo," added another.
"This is unbelievably creepy. I feel like I need to take a shower after reading this," commented a third.
Needless to say, the guy didn't get any offers of romance or companionship. He did, however, get a few messages from people volunteering to smack him straight back to the misogynistic era he'd somehow crawled out from.
And if you're reading this as a single person on Valentine's Day, and you're feeling a little sorry for yourself, you can take comfort in one thing: at least you're not dating this guy.
Ah, dating. That nightmarish experience where we try as hard as possible to hide who we really are from someone in the hopes of coming across really cool and not seeming like a goofy idiot. But the best relationships start when you've finally found someone with the same sense of humor as you, who accepts you even when you're at your stupidest. These 30 boyfriends have staged ridiculous stunts that, yes, could be seen as irritating or attention-seeking or just plain dumb from a certain light, but also show that these must be some really fun relationships to be in!

This guy's fiancee was worried their Christmas tree was a bit too serious and drab and told him to find a more fun, festive tree topper to take the edge off. This is what he came up with.

A total failure, as far as I'm concerned. This bit of King Kong is very dramatic and emotional and not funny or silly at all. What was he thinking?

[post_page_title]#21 This Goat-in-the-Bed[/post_page_title]
This picture was taken by a woman who was woken by her husband late at night texting her and saying: "Wake up or I'm bringing the goats inside!" She ignored the text and went back to sleep and then was woken by this...
There must be more context to this story that explains it. They must have had a pet goat in the garden, right? Surely. Or did the husband steal a goat? It's an odd one, this.

This dad was charged with writing the letter from Santa that the kids would discover on Christmas morning but realized halfway through that there's not much point in him writing anything that specific.

A fair point well made.

[post_page_title]#23 This Sabotaged Anniversary Message[/post_page_title]
This guy's wife put the message "We Still Do" on this board to celebrate their 13-year anniversary, and posted a picture of it to Instagram before noticing that he'd added an extra word while she wasn't looking.
I hope it was a good long time before she noticed and that this picture was out there on Instagram causing maximum mischief before she realized.

This husband, whose name is Ian, was very insistent that he and his wife's new puppy be given its own stocking on Christmas Day. She thought it was a very sweet idea, until she realized his actual reason for pushing for it.

I wonder if marrying someone whose name begins with A was simply Stage 1 of his masterplan?

When their classes were canceled due to arctic weather conditions, this guy decided to make a boring day in a bit more interesting by wrapping his girlfriend up like a burrito and feeding her mozzarella sticks.

She looks happy, but I do hope she was on-board with all of this, otherwise it'd be a horrific thing to be subjected to.

Fingers crossed it didn't send her into a total panic.

This guy, after being diagnosed with Parkinson's, managed to find the funny side of his illness by sending out this as his Christmas letter to his friends.

The little sticker from his wife explaining the joke just makes it extra adorable, I reckon.

[post_page_title]#28 This Bug Prank[/post_page_title]
This guy's girlfriend had recently had a bug problem in her apartment. One night, when they were drinking together, and she had got quite drunk, he decided to do this while she had gone to the toilet.

This is one of those real "Could be hilarious or could end the relationship" pranks, so fingers crossed it went well for him!

[post_page_title]#29 This Horrific Pie[/post_page_title]
This guy was asked by his wife to cut vents in the turkey pie she was baking to let the air circulate through it. This is what he did...
It's one of the most horrible things I've ever seen. I feel like someone needs to kill the poor thing to put it out of its misery.

[post_page_title]#30 This Photoshoot[/post_page_title]
This guy grew a mustache his girlfriend really hated and was told he had to shave it off. He did, but only after saying goodbye to it with a professional photo shoot with his dog.

To be fair, in this context the mustache does look pretty good. But it's a fairly specific context, I suppose.
From loving sports to following the "bro code", there have always been certain unwritten rules when it comes to being a guy.
But take it from a fella who'd rather kick back with a beer and watch Married At First Sight with his wife rather than Monday Night Football with his boys - not all men think alike.
Now, male Redditors have taken to the social media website to answer one simple question: "What is an opinion you have, that is generally unpopular amongst other men?"
The question was originally asked by Redditor 'M_RONA', but his simple question was quickly flooded with more than 10,000 comments from guys who wanted to get certain things off their chests.
Some people may find this eye-opening, others will be able to relate 100%! Check out some of our favorite answers below...
