Girls, are you annoyed by manspreading?

Question

saeyamazaki · Accepted Answer

Yes. If you manspread like that, I will kick you. Manspreading is so selfish and annoying.

Daniela1982 · Accepted Answer

No, I'd give him a fist to the balls and get instant room.

Wolframium · Answer

I'm annoyed by idiotspreading.
Women putting their purse on the seat next to them. Guys spreading their legs. Idiots standing basically in the doors, when there is plenty of room elsewhere.
God damn it. When will people realize, that this (and pretty much every) issue is not only about some superficial feature? It's bot sexes, all races, religions. People are dumb, don't give a fuck, don't consider others…
And calling out only selected group doesn't really help. What helps then? Better education. Because apparently we need to teach people how to use public transportation like reasonable beings, not like asshole-animals. Althoug I find it hard to believe. I grew up in city so small there is no detectable PT. Then moved into bigger city, and…it was just obvious. How to…you know…use PT like civilized person.

alice55 · Answer

Yes because it's disrespectful, they don't care that they're taking all the place and bothering people. I can understand it's more comfortable to them but for me laying down is more comfortable but that don't mean I would be laying down in public place. (and when I do when I see someone wanting to sit beside me I just sit normally).
Manspreading is ok but if someone is sitting next to you then just sit normally.

Isten · Answer

If someone sat like the guy in the picture, I'm pretty sure he would have got an earful from other passangers already. Spreading your legs like the girl on the far left is a-okay, but the guy's position is obviously exaggerated. If that happened in real life, it won't happen the next time.

Anonymous · Answer

It definitely gives the impression a man is confident and maybe even a little cocky. I don't like a man that is too cocky because I automatically think he is a player as well. I don't want to be played or cheated on so I generally avoid men that give the impression of being overly confident or cocky. So if I don't know the man than yes it would be a turn off. If its my boyfriend and I already know what he is like than I probably wouldn't even notice him doing it or care. Once I know he is a good guy than I want him to be confident and strong but only doe me.

AlienParasite · Answer

Mhh, I haven't noticed. I think it almost never happens where I live. People usually spread only when there's more space available around. Both, men and women, spread when there's space avaliable.

I have see more often people using a full seat for their personal objects, though, and some wouldn't put their stuff on the floor even if there weren't more seats available. Also seen once or twice teens putting their legs in the next seat.

Anyway, if you are occupying a seat more than you really need with your body or your objects when the train or vehicle is almost full, you are beign disrespectful and annoying regardless of sex, age, culture or race. That's it. No manspreading, womanspreading, womanpursing, teenagelegging, elderlyshoppingbagging or whatever stupid term we can come up with. Keep it simple: don't occupy more than you really need.

MissKittyz · Answer

I honestly don't care. The majority of guys sit like that so I'm guessing it is normal for them. I've seen worse things in the bus and subway than a man "manspreading". Like people having their stupid purses/backpacks on a seat. Or someone putting their feet on a seat as well.

FatherJack · Answer

The picture is clearly posed , anyone REALLY sitting like that , will at some point , have their legs shoved out of the way / kicked / elbowed etc , as that is simply acting like a twat. Women tend to bag-spread and put their bags on seats. I hate idiots putting their feet on seats.. esp in wet weather , both genders do this all too frequently. One of the main reasons I start and finish work early where possible , much less busy... and Spotify in my ears... always at least one muppet engaged in an inane , loud , mobile phone pointless conversation.

Bananaman177 · Answer

Sometimes if you don't stretch out a bit, you can get a cramp. And then the only way to fix it is to spread out.

I don't know why women think it's so malevolent, and that men are doing it as some kind of "show of dominance," they have all these wacked-out theories about the secret psychology of manspreading. . .

I wonder if women actually even realize that men's hips and pelvis are shaped different, our muscles are attached at slightly different spots, we have a whole different set-up down there, do they even take that into account when they're writing their man-hate articles about how men are all just domineering brutes 24/7?

naijagurl · Answer

Honestly no. I’ve never even come across it in a situation where it impeded on my personal space to a large degree. If it’s like anything in the picture however then yeah I’d be annoyed. That’s just unnecessary.

Texaskid1 · Answer

What a lot of feminist don't understand is that men have this thing called a scrotum between our legs. The reason we sit with our legs apart ( needless to say the guy in the pic above is an exaggeration) is because if we st with our legs closed all the way it puts pressure on the scrotum and this sensation can range from bothersome to painful.

The whole man spreading bullshit is just some over reaction from some radical feminists who need something to get offended by (which is basically everything)

Anonymous · Answer

Yes lol we need leg room too sometimes or own our space. There should be a certain amount to how much a guy opens his legs to show he is confident or if he has a big one but sometimes it’s ridiculous how much some men open there legs for no reason like the guy in the picture. It’s just unnecessary unless the man also has extra space it’s fine or has a whole seat to himself I wouldn’t mind. I don’t see guys opening their legs though that much which is a relief I rarely see them do that as most aren’t a nuisance.

name_is_eric · Answer

That's not manspreading, that's just being an asshole. That is so over-the-top. Don't tell me you believe in this sexist term of "manspreading" and "mansplaining". It's weak.

A-man-22 · Answer

I can't believe that some women think that most men do this on purpose.
Men have genitaila that need more space than women's , thus we need to give it a bit more space.

This picture is exaggerated, you won't find anything like this on your normal transport.

kittycat119 · Answer

Yes. I grew up with eight brothers and none of them do this of we're in a car or on a public transport. Yet I've seen countless men who do it all the time and claim it's more comfortable and sometimes sitting the other way hurts their privates. Which I find dumb considering none of my brothers have ever whined about that problem themselves. If your next to someone then close your legs. It's not hard

311WasAnInsideJam · Answer

It's not a real thing that I've ever encountered, and any time I've seen someone do it, it was Buzzfeed showing how terrible guys are by overdramatically acting it out

IslanderSparkle_Siki · Answer

Sometimes yes, when I sit near them in the bus, half of my body is juggling and we don't have straight roads here, once I nearly felt down.

MrMilti · Answer

Totally not staged picture... yeah, things like that do not happen in reality, only for cringey social experiments.

-Wildfire-_ · Answer

I take the bus everyday to school and back, so I'm used to other people taking up room outside of their seat occasionally, but I remember once this guy was taking up legit half of my seat because be was slouching as well, and I was pissed because the bus was already crowded in the hall as well. I understand that people can't help it sometimes but I get annoyed if your taking up my personal space to an extent where its just ignorance male, or female.

Harmseygrace · Answer

I’m only annoyed by my mum telling me I can’t do it because it’s not ladylike.

Paige90 · Answer

That's the wY guys sit. There's no need for them to keep their legs together. Sometimes I don't either.

Lilyanony · Answer

That picture is not manspreading that's taking the piss

Fanme · Answer

It depends. Selfish people exist, and they'll leave bags on seats next to them, spread their legs taking up more seat space etc when they can blatantly see people standing and no other seats.
If there are spare seats, spread away, if there aren't, you'll need to be a little uncomfortable for a little bit and not be selfish. Everybody got taught to share as young children usually, so I don't understand why people behave like that.

Hurlyburly · Answer

XD maybe I would if it was as over the top as in this picture but usually I do not really care.

Anonymous · Answer

No. Men have different parts, with that in mind, it'd seem sitting like that would be the most comfortable for them. I'm not going to get mad cause somebody wants to be comfortable.

Lauren-green · Answer

I understand it might just be a comfort thing. But he's taking up like over half of the seat, that's just too far.. look how uncomfortable the girl on the right is🙄

GirlChick · Answer

No, what if his junk is all scrunched up? Testicles could be swollen. They could be fat. That’s a small thing to complain about, let people make themselves feel comfortable.

BluesheepOwl · Answer

Only if I literally have no room to sit. Sometimes I sit with my legs apart and it's comfortable. Not like the guy in the picture though that's outrageous lol

butterlettuce · Answer

Is he doing it to a dick? Then yeah. Is he doing it because it's hot and his balls are sticking to his legs? No problem boo sir those boys out

AlexanderBrunnrgaard · Answer

That image is such an exaggeration. We don't do that. If there's ample room we might spread, and if we do, we don't really care whether or not some bitter feminist, "has to look at our junk".

DizzyDesii · Answer

No its the sexiest thing ever. I absolutely, love when guys sit this way... so hawt

Anonymous · Answer

I've never come across it myself. And if a man was manspreading and I wanted to sit, I would just ask if I could sit there.

Miss_Savanna_Dry · Answer

Sometimes it's annoying. Sometimes I don't care. Iv ask a guy to stop man spreading so that I have more place for my legs, and he was fine with it 🤷‍♀️

CubsterShura · Answer

Not if there's space available but it's so rude to occupy more space than you need when passengers aren't being able to find a seat. I don't get what these people think of themselves.

MostPaloney23 · Answer

The picture is kinda excessive but most people that whine about this is a pretty standard way a guy tends to sit. Now what about those women with a purse and three bags taking up the next seat or two?

MemeSupreme · Answer

If it's like in that pic then yes but if it's actually normal manspreading then no as long as there is space still available for me or others to sit.

alohaahyes · Answer

If he's sitting like the guy in the picture then yes it's annoying but in general I dont care.

SexyAshh · Answer

A guy has a dick. I could only imagine with some that I've seen why they need to do that I see nothing wrong with it, its how they sit

standardguy · Answer

Sure men need a bit space between their legs for their testicles. Besides their pelvis is more narrow than the pelvis of women so their thighs are more close together. A bit mabspeading is necessary. But like the guy on the pic it is a provocation. Perhaps he want the girls to beat his balls.

chunlilovesvega · Answer

No I think it's natural and sexy, I don't expect or want men to behave like girls

GreatnessBack · Answer

Manspreading is not a thing.
I've been on plenty of trains and commute that way to work and I've never seen a guy do it.
If it does happen, the dude is usually HUGH and understandably needs the space.

People need to stop making something big from something small.

JosyJosy · Answer

If he sits like that all exaggerated, smiling proudly, yeah Imma be annoyed

BrittBratt2416 · Answer

No, I don't take public transportation. If i did, I would probably sit some somewhere less crowded if i can.

frerardsprincess · Answer

If it’s with other people around it’s super annoying and rude but it they’re not getting in anyone’s way I don’t care so much

R_Cakes91 · Answer

I have men explain things to be about my job that I’ve been doing for years. Just because I’m young and small doesn’t mean I don’t know anything.  Hopefully we can move past this.

InTimoreDei · Answer

I've seen girls with bags on their seats more than I've seen "man spreading". And they don't remove their bags when you stand right in front of them wanting a seat.

Anonymous · Answer

I wish people would stop bitching about it. Literally NOBODY sits like that ever. They exaggerate it to have one more thing to keep attacking men for. It's just not real.

Thatsamazing · Answer

The only thing annoying here is this obviously staged photo being used as evidence of a phenomenon that doesn't actually exist in order to create retarded Internet clickbait controversy. Yawn.

evm987 · Answer

In general, no, it's not an issue. I get that it's more comfortable for guys to sit with their legs spread out a bit. But it's annoying when they're way spread out on public transit and nobody can sit next to them.

Kayla45 · Answer

I think if you over do it like that guy there then yes, you deserve to be castrated.

Anonymous · Answer

It's a little annoying when you're in the middle of two guys manspreading, but I get that it can't be helped.

Anonymous · Answer

I mean if it’s anything like in that picture then yeah lol

Mikester100 · Answer

Guys who sit like that are inconsiderate jerks that are to stupid to think about anybody else than themselves.. if its not crouded fine, but when next to other people show some respect

SkipStop · Answer

Don't fall for feminist hatred and ideologies. It's just a misandrist term created by feminists. They refuse to accept biology and anything else scientifically proven.

datgirl · Answer

If there's nowhere to sit/not enough space and he's sitting like that than i would find it very rude and inconsiderate. Otherwise i don't care at all.

VaIiant · Answer

If you overdo it on purpose, yes.

insecureperson · Answer

That’s just how someone sits. How can you get mad at that

ronaldo75 · Answer

That picture is insanely exaggerated. Yes spreading is annoying but women also do it. Another major problem with women that men DONT do is be fat and insist on sitting in spaces where you clearly don't fucking fit.

idk_riih · Answer

I do that sometimes so they can see how bothering they are

N192K001 · Answer

For a man to sit normally while spread is fine, so long as he reamains considerate to others. But that angle? W. T. F.‽

TheDevilInside · Answer

As long as it's not in a crowded place, I don't care. If you're in a crowded place and you manspread, you're a jerk
