Men, what’s one small, seemingly insignificant thing you’ve noticed that can be a telltale sign of the difference between a genuinely good man and a bad one?

“Blah blah blah” can be a mild and humorous self awareness - like I am rambling on and poking fun at myself.

On the other hand, it can be because someone is lying and they’re wishing to skip over things that do not add up or expose inconsistency

Yeah, I think if you do it to yourself, it's self-deprecation, not wanting to waste someone else's time. It's only when you say blah blah blah about something someone else said that it becomes dismissive.

I replied before I read your reply. I’ll just return to lurking, now. “Blah, blah, blah, that’s what I was gonna say….”😂😂😂

“Blah, blah, blah” about yourself is self deprecating (which is a good sign), but about others is often a sign that one doesn’t entertain thoughts or ideas outside of their own.
