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?

It's a fact. I always treat everyone as an equal or better than myself.

In real life anyway. I can be a real dick to some people on here, LOL.

I treat restaurant staff well, I don't judge or mistreat people who are doing what many people consider to be "lesser" jobs.

I hold doors for everyone, always say thank you and please to people.

I just try to remember that everyone may not be in a place in their life that they want to be , or even expected to be, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be shown respect.

It's not that difficult to do.

The whole lesser jobs thing is always bullshit.

If I am in a restaurant then the most valuable job anyone can perform right now is to serve me and cook my food. I don't give a shit about rocket science or cancer research while I'm waiting for my dinner!

If you think the people picking up your garbage aren't important, let them go on strike for a month. You'll change your mind soon enough.

Anyone who disrespects garbage workers is an idiot. First, those guys make good money, second they take away your garbage. WTF.
