Do you have the type of friends you can call out when they step out of line?

If not, you should get some, and quick!

In this story from Reddit, the author thought she could call out her good friend, only to potentially completely lose him in the process.

Let’s take a look!

AITA for calling out the hypocrisy of an ‘alpha bro’

This one guy in my friend group (all early twenties mixed guy and girl, 7 in total, only good friends with 4 of them) has been consuming some ‘alpha bro’ content that has severely changed his personality and entitlement towards women.

Guys in their early 20s can have a little entitlement, and that seems to be the case here.

He mentioned that this one girl he has been talking to for some time turned him down when he hit on her (she said he wasn’t her usual type but he was nice blah blah).

He was pretty bummed out and we all tried to console him the best way we could.

That was until he said “in 20 years when no one wants her, she will regret turning me down.”

They were all on his side until he turned on her, and they did not take his comment well.

Me and the other girls were taken aback by this.

I should have kept my trap shut but I said “it’s completely fine to turn down someone you aren’t attracted to, just like how you would have not asked her out if you weren’t attracted to her.”

She’s not wrong, you know.

He was fuming and got up and left (the guys went with him).

This happened yesterday and he blocked me.

The girls support me but the guys aren’t saying anything.

I do think I should have said this later and not when he was actively hurting from the rejection.

AITA?

She might be right that the timing was bad, but was she out of line completely?

Let’s see what the commenters of Reddit think.

Top comment says she was totally in the right and he needs to grow up.

Another says better to hear the truth now, and hopefully he will apply it later.

The real issue here is toxic masculinity, according to this comment.

Bravo for creating a safe space for the other females in the friend group.

He might be worried about the girl that rejected him in 20 years, but she sure won’t be thinking of him!

You can take that to the bank.
