i hate when im sitting on a bus and people block my field of vision and im forced looking at the ceiling or at another awkward angle. if he hasnt done one on field of vision then he should lol
I am a man and I got long hair, I mostly wear black and I get confused by a girl a lot of times while sitting in the bus with my legs crossed or when it's crowded my feet together, however: I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.
You forgot the one that ALL guys do (and that everyone else's hates) : sit with legs spread apart.
I absolutely hate guys that take too much space. I mean it's not just because you are a guy or bigger that you need to take up more space. Can u tell I have an older brother? -.-
Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I never understood how guys can sit like method A...I'm not overwieght but I thought only gymnasts could do it!
i hate this shit (not your videos) but society has all these underground rules you have to follow that are completely bullshit like this sitting thing i sit the way that im comfortable with my legs are crossed because thats what felt right not because im secretly hiding a vagina and dont get me started on being a "man" first rule if you have anything other than hard liqueur or beer your a girl ya know what beer taste like liquid bread to me and hard liquor isnt good for you so go fuck yourself
@TheWhiteOp I think the unwritten rules of sitting are less societal and more sexual. Men are expected to sit in such a way that they seem to occupy a lot of space, whereas women are expected to sit in such a way that they occupy as little space as possible. This seems more in line with the natural stereotypes of sexual assertiveness / submissiveness than artificially prescribed rules of society.
The leg crossing seat position A hurts my sack, so I use B almost always now, and put my hands on top of my hand, fingers interlocked, elbows extended outward, like I am bored or am waiting for someone. Thats pretty masculine.
I used to smile at people riding the bus so they can sit next to me ,
and start chatting , mostly old ladies start talking on and on and on non stop
and then i decided to stop smilling , and just shut up and give the non-interested look , because i don't care anymore about others ... i have my own problems to focus on and i don't wanna answer any question
we are all just machines guys, everything we do is just a logical operation. Everybody knows what this guy is takling about because that is just how we think, and if you say "no i am not like that", thats just a negation of everything. You are still a machine.
I like when guys cross their legs. Especially if they're wearing long socks and you can see a bit of it. Whenever I tell someone this, they think I'm weird.
Also, I'm a little disappointed this video didn't discuss where you sit on a bus. I hate sitting across from someone and awkwardly trying your best to look anywhere but at them.
I've watched almost every single one of your videos and I can't help but think you're trying to grab as much attention as possible. I mean this isn't a bad thing, everyone does it all the time and its most easily done through attempts at relating to people. Which you have done really super well. I might also be jealous that you actually found an original way to do something before I did but I don't know. Anyways I like everything you're doing and your videos make me feel better.
I always sit with one leg folded in under me but when someone decides to sit next to me once they've exhausted every other possibility and all other seats are taken, the sole of the shoe that's under me will inevitably rub against their pant leg/bag/coat so i have to sit differently. i don't like sitting differently. ergo i don't like people sitting next to me. my mom always tells me off for sitting like that. she says it's bad for the circulation in the leg that's under me and it's not elegant
to me there is no problem at the bus because nobody want the seat next to me, is weird but the prefer the stinky drunk hobo than siting next to me, and I'm a complete normal guy, that is just weird
I'm a girl but I usually use your sitting method B (only if I'm wearing jeans which I always wear 95%) because sitting method A puts a lot of pressure on your vein that might end up collapsing resulting into varicose veins that I do not want to get. So when my guy friends tell me I sit like a guy and I should stop sitting that way, I tell them to shut the hell up because I am quite sure that they are pleased on how my legs look like when I wear skits. LOL
Sat like a woman with a skirt throughout my school years.
First day of my non uniform year (16-18) came into school with a skirt. It gave people an explanation (albeit a false one) but I have come to think the whole thing worked better in my mind.
what you do is; A. find a double seat and sit agaist the window and push the leg closest to the window up on the deat in front. B. lay back and take a nap on the way home. just make sure you don't miss your stop.
I usually sit like that too...only my white socks show and it looks a little weird. I usually don't mind though because not a lot of people get on my bus
I Usually Use Method A & Then Use My Left Hand To Grab My Right Wrist. Then I Look At Myself And Figure That A 14 Year Old Girl Looks Too "Lady-Like" & Grown Up In This Position So I Eventually Uncross My Legs And Then Re-Cross Them At The Ankles. Then I Search For My Phone And End Up Texting My Friends Who Are Too Busy To Text Me Back At The Moment. So I Sit There Awkwardly Holding My Phone With My Ankles Crossed. Why Must We Be So Self-Aware About How We Sit? :C
I think it makes guys look sophisticated when they cross their legs (method A) when they sit. I'm a girl and I like to cross my legs (method B) when I sit and I'm always a bit worried that people will think I'm a butch lesbian.
@ca1cifer Same here... Yet method B is most comfortable for me... The only time method B is favorable is in the car when I am a passenger. I prefer sitting "Indian Style" though, more often than not... even while sitting on a chair.
@ca1cifer Very interesting. I'm a guy and I've never heard the opposite side of this issue. I wonder if other cultures make as big a deal about this as we do?
I don't like riding the bus. Sharing seats with strangers...but if they choose to not sit next to me, but next to someone else, i feel rejected, and that makes me sad.
if everyone agrees with these tales so much, and guys talk about how glad they are that there is some one else out there like them so they dont have to feel "unmasculine" then why are we keeping this unneccesary and untrue group thought that men have to fall under such pretenses.. if all of us disagree, whos saying this? we dont truely believe it, we just say its true out of fear that were the only ones who dont believe it....human thought is weird man.
@furball6488 It's not as much of a masculine issue as it is a nihilist issue. Simply put, do you define who you are? Or do you let others do it for you? In this case, the narrator is letting those around him define whether or not he is or is not masculine. He can simply acknowledge that he is masculine in any seating position, therefore, making him masculine by his definition. He doesn't do this. What does this show about how individuals in our society define themselves? You have the answer now.
@WavegirlThinks Uhh, FALSE. Social does not imply not existential. One can be social but still have the power to define what they are. A classic example of this is the cliche goth groups. They congregate with those in their groups which shows that they are clearly social. Yet, they continue to be goths despite the disapproval of the "norms". One can also be not social and not existential. An example of this are antisocial kids who get bullied and believes what the bully says.
You obviously have no idea what social means in a biological sense. It doesnt mean just handing out with people or not. A hermit is still an evolved social animal like the rest of us. Same goes for your antisocial kid.
Also, your Goth analogy is flawed. 1) Most people don’t give a shit about Goths, 2) other Goths are positive towards people being Goths - the in-group support counteracts out-group antagonism.
@WavegirlThinks Just because a hermit has the capability to socialize doesn't mean that he will. Biology does not determine everything that constitutes what a person does. In fact, human logic and decision making is what separates us from the rest of the animals that rely on instincts. How exactly are goths fucking accepted by social norms? If they went to a job interview dressed as a goth, would it be acceptable? Lastly, I am not talking about group structures, I am talking about individuality.
Are you dim? I never said biology determines everything a person does. I said we are evolved social animals. Our very nature is built up around socializing with other people. While our instincts might not determine everything we do, they sure as hell guide us strongly. Humans can be logical -more often than not we arent. The stuff that makes acceptance and affection from others feel good? Thats instinct.
I never said goths are accepted by the dominant social norms (though acceptance does vary depending where you live). Goths are accepted by other goths. Goths form a sub-group within society, even if it isnt the dominant group in society. It is to this minority group which an individual goth is accepted and to which they are pressured to conform. Sometimes non-conformity is conformity.
What do YOU mean by individuality? Must someone be different from others in order to be an individual, or simply a discrete entity? How different must one be, to be an individual? Is logically thinking ones actions through a requirement, or can someone who follows their basal desires also be individual?
Oh, and the narrator of the video is not necessarily letting others define his masculinity per se. He recognises what the majority of the population considers masculinity to be, and that they prefer masculine males. He also recognises what the impressions of others will be of his masculinity if he acts certain ways. He has decided that he cares what they think of him and therefore what their impressions are. He is, in fact, defining how others will see him.
it's impolite to sit with your leg up in crowded places for both men and women because underneath your shoe is dirty. so it kinda distracts the people next to you because they constantly have to worry about the dirt (or feces if you stepped on it ) going on their clothes and bags. lesson is to only cross your legs when sitting on a chair by yourself or when it's not too crowded. when it is crowded, even if it's uncomfortable, put your foot down. ^-^
Hahahaha. I cross my legs with method B, because I find it most comfortable (unless I'm sitting in a desk that doesn't allow enough room), but since I'm a girl I sometimes feel it's not "lady-like" enough, so I just uncross my legs until I get sick of that and revert back to leg-cross method B.
I mean really, the "woman should keep their legs crossed" unwritten rule is leftover from when anything without a Y chromosome was always wearing a dress, methinks.
I'm a girl and I'm most comfortable with Leg-Cross Method B. My parents used to bug me about it forcing me to use Leg-Cross Method A instead. But that makes my thighs tired because i'm fat thus it's hard to compress all my leg fat in. Btw, I think guys who sit leg-cross method A are sexy, prolly because i think their legs are more flexible ;)
This reminds me of this time I was in chem class and we were all out of the normal chairs. I decided to be valiant, heroic, selfless... To take one for the team. So I opted to drag one of the stools from the laboratory over and sit on that instead. But it turned out that the stool was too tall for the table.. And so I spent 45 minutes hunched over uncomfortably, trying to not block the back row's view.
I sit with my ankles crossed 1) because my mom told me crossing your legs would cut off circulation and your veins would bulge out and 2) because if you sit with your ankles crossed you have to tuck them under the seat a little bit and this makes it harder for your little brother to find your foot under the diner table and stomp on it.
It's a pretty girley way to sit but since I'm a girl I think it's ok (^_^)
Haha. I'm a guy who sits in the "girly" legs crossed way. Been doing it my whole life because it's the most comfortable and don't see how other guys disagree. I usually get the same response when it's brought up, "It would hurt. My junk is in the way."... *rolls eyes*
But even though they'll think you're sitting masculine u still have this bag purse thing so then they'll think, "Look at that guy with his girly bag trying to sit masculinely."
They must be living in a town full of real men then that drive pick up trucks and set their rifle scopes by shooting road signs while swillin beer and listening to Waylon and Willie.
i analyze these sort of things like buses everyones not as talkative and the akwardness of facing another person on the opposite side from u wow i must be losing my mind
@Catcherintherye11111 I wrote a whole dissertation analysing this, so I reckon you're good :-) Or we're both crazy, with me being the crazier of the two... lol.
Lev, I love your cartoons and commentaries. So so funny. You especially bring a laugh to men to lighten our hearts in this time of confused masculinity and the push to feminise us.
I sit with my legs crossed like a pre-school child on the floor. Even when I'm sitting on a chair or stool. It takes up a lot of space, but on a small chair people are impressed with my balance. XD
I sit like this at home only, because the chairs at school are incredably uncomfortable to cross your legs under. I gues their teaching us masculinity (even the girls, if you lived here you'd understand), and thought if we'r not comfortable we cant possibly sleep. What they didnt seem to get is im not going to cross my legs to sleep, even if it's comfortable, cuz then i'd be feminine and vulnerable. So of course now im in perfect position to lean over and just sleep like a very masculine douche.
I SHOULD BE WORKING.

@WavegirlThinks Just because a hermit has the capability to socialize doesn't mean that he will. Biology does not determine everything that constitutes what a person does. In fact, human logic and decision making is what separates us from the rest of the animals that rely on instincts. How exactly are goths fucking accepted by social norms? If they went to a job interview dressed as a goth, would it be acceptable? Lastly, I am not talking about group structures, I am talking about individuality.

Are you dim? I never said biology determines everything a person does. I said we are evolved social animals. Our very nature is built up around socializing with other people. While our instincts might not determine everything we do, they sure as hell guide us strongly. Humans can be logical -more often than not we arent. The stuff that makes acceptance and affection from others feel good? Thats instinct.
Also, goths...

I never said goths are accepted by the dominant social norms (though acceptance does vary depending where you live). Goths are accepted by other goths. Goths form a sub-group within society, even if it isnt the dominant group in society. It is to this minority group which an individual goth is accepted and to which they are pressured to conform. Sometimes non-conformity is conformity.

Lastly...
What do YOU mean by individuality? Must someone be different from others in order to be an individual, or simply a discrete entity? How different must one be, to be an individual? Is logically thinking ones actions through a requirement, or can someone who follows their basal desires also be individual?

Oh, and the narrator of the video is not necessarily letting others define his masculinity per se. He recognises what the majority of the population considers masculinity to be, and that they prefer masculine males. He also recognises what the impressions of others will be of his masculinity if he acts certain ways. He has decided that he cares what they think of him and therefore what their impressions are. He is, in fact, defining how others will see him.

it's impolite to sit with your leg up in crowded places for both men and women because underneath your shoe is dirty. so it kinda distracts the people next to you because they constantly have to worry about the dirt (or feces if you stepped on it ) going on their clothes and bags. lesson is to only cross your legs when sitting on a chair by yourself or when it's not too crowded. when it is crowded, even if it's uncomfortable, put your foot down. ^-^

Hahahaha. I cross my legs with method B, because I find it most comfortable (unless I'm sitting in a desk that doesn't allow enough room), but since I'm a girl I sometimes feel it's not "lady-like" enough, so I just uncross my legs until I get sick of that and revert back to leg-cross method B.
I mean really, the "woman should keep their legs crossed" unwritten rule is leftover from when anything without a Y chromosome was always wearing a dress, methinks.

I'm a girl and I'm most comfortable with Leg-Cross Method B. My parents used to bug me about it forcing me to use Leg-Cross Method A instead. But that makes my thighs tired because i'm fat thus it's hard to compress all my leg fat in. Btw, I think guys who sit leg-cross method A are sexy, prolly because i think their legs are more flexible ;)

This reminds me of this time I was in chem class and we were all out of the normal chairs. I decided to be valiant, heroic, selfless... To take one for the team. So I opted to drag one of the stools from the laboratory over and sit on that instead. But it turned out that the stool was too tall for the table.. And so I spent 45 minutes hunched over uncomfortably, trying to not block the back row's view.

I sit with my ankles crossed 1) because my mom told me crossing your legs would cut off circulation and your veins would bulge out and 2) because if you sit with your ankles crossed you have to tuck them under the seat a little bit and this makes it harder for your little brother to find your foot under the diner table and stomp on it.
It's a pretty girley way to sit but since I'm a girl I think it's ok (^_^)

Haha. I'm a guy who sits in the "girly" legs crossed way. Been doing it my whole life because it's the most comfortable and don't see how other guys disagree. I usually get the same response when it's brought up, "It would hurt. My junk is in the way."... *rolls eyes*

I sit with my legs crossed like a pre-school child on the floor. Even when I'm sitting on a chair or stool. It takes up a lot of space, but on a small chair people are impressed with my balance. XD

I sit like this at home only, because the chairs at school are incredably uncomfortable to cross your legs under. I gues their teaching us masculinity (even the girls, if you lived here you'd understand), and thought if we'r not comfortable we cant possibly sleep. What they didnt seem to get is im not going to cross my legs to sleep, even if it's comfortable, cuz then i'd be feminine and vulnerable. So of course now im in perfect position to lean over and just sleep like a very masculine douche.
