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?

In my personal experience, the treatment of animals. Severed friendships with guys that mistreated animals and think it's funny. Crazy how some guys can seem totally fine and then they'll go kick a dog or something for no fucking reason.

Yea, I just broke up with a guy who stayed overnight at my place for a week or more at a time; meanwhile, he had a rescue pitbull girl he left at home with his dad who can barely walk. He talked a lot about how he was her entire world, but openly admitted that he ignores her when she doesn’t behave the way he wants. He did the same to me, only I knew exactly what he was doing and would just be content in my peace. When this happened in person and I didn’t respond, he would sulk and eventually project and ask if I was ok so he could start a fight.

Lmao those are the worst things to get.  Shitty people get shitty animals.  Also, it's a female animal, not a "girl"
