    Least favorite guy is one who thinks he isn’t emotional because he doesn’t consider anger an emotion

    Least favorite type of guy: the perpetual devil's advocate, the guy who seems to have the unstoppable urge to justify any bad thing that is criticized in his presence.

        Know a guy who proudly stated how he loves to play the devils advocate just to test my knowledge or whatever. I asked him to not do that once, because it's just shitty and pointless.

            Yup and these guys definitely exist in the wild, proudly.

            I've spent 5 years studying a field, they always devils advocate me on my work if I make the mistake of talking about it. And typically tell me how my field works, which they know nothing about.

            It's kind of amazing, the confidence I mean.

    least favorite type of guy: dude who ignores when women speak & then just repeats their ideas like he came up with them.

    c/goodposting must be made for this.

    Also probably english lit guy. If there's a university guy who is smug and classist about it, him.

        What a compelling argument these professors have!! how-compelling

        contrarianism

        No lie though that describes some of my absolute favourite queer lit. I like the subversions of commonly accepted narrative structures. Orange Book.

            I was joking, I have the same distaste with contemporary lit (they forced us to read J.M. Coetzee's Disgrace in college)

      omfg I have a coworker who is just like this and he is a turbochud who claims to be apolitical.

      Every now and then I will pull up something to completely factually correct him and I can just see the look of cognitive dissonance at being proven wrong in front of an audience and the frustration flowing from it and then he just moves on and forgets it ever happened, continuing to condescend to me and act like the smartest person in the room on every SINGLE topic despite the fact I have repeatedly proven him wrong just on memory, then I have to wait till a break so I can get my phone pull up a source and be like NO MOTHERFUCKER YOU ARE AN IDIOT STOP ACTING SMUG.

        Ah same, my guy is in tech and is related to me. He never really listens to what I say and starts to impose his understandings of what I think and am like on me often before I can even finish what I was trying to say.

        Likes to throw out things like "dunning-kruger", but when I reply with something like "doesn't actually exist" just completely dismisses me and trucks on with those prefixed ideas.

        He also loves to state how he is a feminist and on the side of equality. Thinks other men are misogynist, but treats the women in his life in a very condesending way. Exhausting to try and talk to.

    my least favourite guy is every man who comments on women's posts on instagram. that app is borderline unusuable because every post from a woman is just filled with all sorts of misogyny

        That’s such a specific thing and it always happens no matter what. I have a transfemme friend who livestreams on TikTok and I can’t get over how smug the people commenting “hello sir” are. Like they really think it’s clever or original or something.

      Years ago I purged it of everything but artists I like and now it’s just an art-viewing app for me. It’s nice.

    My least favorite type of guy is someone who alludes to having a vast pool of knowledge on a topic but chooses not to demonstrate it because you are not worth the effort. But they would still like you to know how bemusedt by your ignorance on this topic they are. On account of their vast, vast pool of knowledge.

    the level of ignorance being demonstrated towards how the economy/AI/governing actually works is truly entertaining

    My second least favorite type of guy is murderers.

    The guy I posted about in the reply below is also a the kind of guy that constantly deflects criticism of his bigoted ideas by claiming to have "lots of queer/trans/black friends" etc.
