On my facebook feed, don't blame me :francis:. I was offended about 6 times in this rundown.......so enjoy....

:dead:

First of all I hate these types of things, cause they make your flip through 50 pages .... to get them advertising dollars.... :martin:

25. Going To The Club
What exactly does the club hold for you? Do you really think your chances of meeting a 22 year old model are high enough to justify $12 domestics?

Unless you're a rapper or an athlete, you have no business at the club. Even if you are a rapper or athlete, it's a grey area.

24. Anything At All Having Anything To Do With Tap Out
Honestly, it should be banned for all men in the world regardless of age -- but there still has to be a way to spot the guys with gentialia-related inferiority complexes.

However, once you hit 30? Stickers, shirts, shorts, or even uttering the phrase -- needs to go.

23. Shorthand Texting
If you're older than 30 and you include "lol", "smh", "omfg", or anything else that isn't the word? You're benched for the next three innings. Take a lap.

And how about spell checking that stuff, man? What are you, 17?

22. Dressing Like A Slob On The Golf Course
If you're in your 30s, you should know better than to wear jeans on a golf course. You're an adult now, take some pride in your appearance.

While you're at it, follow Rules Of Golf and course etiquette. Your days of acting like a moron on the golf course are behind you. Be a man.

21. Pierced Ears (Or Anything Else)
How old are you now? Seriously, nobody wears earrings anymore.

And body piercing? Really, Rodman? You're going there? REALLY?

20. Bumper Stickers

They're interesting when you're 21, but you're an adult now. You should know how to have nice things by now.

19. T-Shirts With Sparkles, Random Garbage On It -- Or Both
Rule of thumb: If it's from Affliction or Ed Hardy -- put it on the rag pile.

There's no reason for a grown man to wear a t-shirt that's been Bedazzled

18. Bumping Loud Music For No Reason Whatsoever
Exceptions can be made for "Come Sail Away", "Even Flow", and "Gin N Juice." Sing on, friend.

But if you're just bumping random music just for the sake of hearing it go boom? You don't deserve your Spotify account. Or can you even afford one?

17. Knit Hats
It doesn't matter what Colin Farrell does. Colin Farrell is an idiot and why would you want to look like him?

There's no reason for a man in his 30s to wear a knit hat unless he's skiing or robbing someone.

16. Watching Pro Wrestling
If you're 30 or older and you still follow pro wrestling in any form -- punch yourself in the face.

Being into wrestling like it was a legitimate sport ought to land you on some sort of NSA watch list. It'd be easy to track you though, since your mom's basement isn't hard to find.

15. Living In A Legit Bachelor Pad
If you're north of 29, you should have learned somewhere along the way what nice things are. Stop signs on the wall are not nice things.

Even if -- especially if -- you're single, your place should look like a grown man lives in it. Not a frat boy. That was 10 years ago.

14. Being A Metalhead
If you're into heavy metal... hey, be into heavy metal. Rock on, friend. But when you're still walking around Earth sporting long hair, studded leather belts, and a Mastodon t-shirt at 30 years old? That's sad

Shave, shower, and stop into Brooks Brothers.

13. Alcohol Stunts
If you were able to down 12 shots in 30 minutes when you were in college -- you were pretty cool.

If you're still trying to do this when you're in your 30s -- you need to go to AA.

You're a grown man, there's no need to play quien es mas macho with booze. If you want to drink... just drink. It's not long division.

12. Using A Flip Phone
Double shame on you if it's prepaid.

You're 30 and up, it's time you made enough money to afford a smartphone. The only thing a flip phone says about you is that you're too dumb to use a smartphone, or that you can't afford it. Or both.


11. Keeping A Raggety Wallet
The same goes for wallets with anything written on them (including the Pulp Fiction "bad mother f'er" wallet) or with a chain attached.

How are you supposed to be taken seriously when you go out if your wallet looks like the dog chewed it up. Heaven help you if you're still using a velcro wallet.


10. Choreographed Handshakes
Men shake hands. Men do not slap fists leading into an itsy bitsy spider followed by feeling the need for speed.

Unless you want that business client to think you're Malibu's Most Wanted. In which case... all you, B-Rad.


9. Flat-Brimmed Hats
Men in their 30s really ought not be wearing a lot of hats to begin with, but they absolutely need to run far, far away from flat brimmed hats.

Either curve the brim of your hat, stop wearing them entirely, or accept that you're as much of a d-bag as Rickie Fowler and Justin Bieber despite being old enough to know better.


8. Using A Gym Bag As Luggage
What are you, running away from home?

Get some big boy luggage.


7. Making Hand Signs In Photos
Unless you're in a gang or you're a Raiders fan (which is basically the same thing), there's no reason for 30 year old man to throw up any kind of signs in a photo.

Unless you're representing the Alma Mater, just smile and take the picture. Save the wess-siiiiide for the next life.


6. Beer Pong
Really, broham? Beer pong? REALLY?

At 30-something years old, there's no reason for you to be playing any sort of drinking game whatsoever, truthfully. It's alcohol, you can just drink it.

5. Getting Into Online Arguments
By the time you reach your 30s, you should have better things to do with your time than get indignant in the comments section. If you have that much spare time, you're probably unemployed.

4. Leaving The House In Clothes That Aren't Ironed
Seriously, act like a man. It takes mere moments to iron a shirt. How have you not learned how to have nice things by now? Going out in wrinkled clothes makes you look like you were raised by wolves.

And throwing it in the dryer doesn't count.

3. Playing Paintball
Paintball is pretty idiotic to begin with, as far as leisure time activities go. But if you're in your 30s and you're still crawling around on your belly playing GI Joe tag with 14 year olds -- check your head.

2. Lifted Trucks
If you're that ashamed of having a small penis, there's other ways to deal with it. Jacking your truck up to the point that it needs a stepladder to get in just broadcasts your insecurity issues. Grow up.

1. Using 'Scarface' Posters To Decorate Your Apartment
Oh, sorry... do you live in a dorm room? At your age, there's no reason people should come over and see a poster for a gangster movie. By all means, watch 'Scarface' -- great flick. But maybe your apartment should look like a man lives there -- and not a 16 year old

I hate when people impose these arbitrary social rules on you, especially based on your age. You should live your life how you see fit. Do what makes you happy. Conforming to these standards just to appease some females, or a random internet blogger just to give them the illusion of 'maturity' will only lead to misery.

I'm have way through my twenties and I follow 90% of that list

I recommend getting a high quality leather wallet, it'll last a lifetime
