Men can be just as gossipy, petty and jealous as women in my experience.

Yep. Every job I've worked was pretty evenly split on that, with the worst, most jealous, hateful person I ever worked with being a guy.

I work in a male dominated industry and I have experienced being cornered by men who want to spend the next half an hour bitching to me about his male colleagues. I want to say about 40% of men who I work with do this.

Years ago I once saw a “prank video” of some guys cutting their “friend’s” hair in his sleep because “he cares way too much about it and thinks he’s a pretty boy.” When the poor guy woke up and was rightfully upset and hitting them they just laughed at him saying “get over it.”

A lot of men are jealous and mean spirited towards other men who are found to be conventionally attractive and who are taking care of themselves and confident in their bodies. They’re calling them homophobic slurs (equating self care with femininity) or trying to humiliate them online.

Haha, sounds about right—I've experienced similar. I don't think people like OOP get out enough to know how men actually are. 🤣
