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?

I had a friend who was like that. When no women were around he was a nice guy to be with. Chill and helpful, genuinely a good bloke.

When women were around, he’d throw other men under the bus to make him look better. Make shit up like attributing things he’d said about women to other guys etc.

It was a night and day difference for the guy.

I knew someone like that and tolerated far too long. Every time I was ready to cut things off, we'd hang out and he'd be so cool I'd give him another chance. I was such a dumbass for being fooled over and over again. I finally learned and I'm good now, but it took me far too long.
