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?

How they carry themselves. The ones who go out of their way to occupy as much space as possible with their bodies, are always, always assholes

I'm a large framed man 6' 240lb, and I'm always self conscious about how much room I take up simply bc of my size 

i can't imagine trying to maximize the space I occupy it'd be outright absurd

6'4" here with a fridge build. I'm currently overweight but even when I was at a healthy weight it was impossible for me to fit in most places comfortably. In a plane seat my shoulders are wider than the arm rests. Last time I flew economy every part of me hurt from trying to minimize how much space I was taking up so I wouldn't inconvenience the people next to me. Needless to say I'll be saving up and splurging for a non-economy ticket the next time I fly so I can be at least a little comfortable.
