Alexander Skarsgård on the cover of Esquire UK, the ‘Better Man’ issue.

Is anyone having as much fun on red carpets right now? The Swedish star of #Succession and #Murderbot talks to deputy editor @mcollface about his new risqué indie film Pillion, growing up in the Skarsgård acting dynasty and becoming a father himself.

Act Like A Man

You can’t be expected to be treated like a man, if you don’t ACT like a man.What are “act like expectations”:

To provide - yes, that is first and foremost and not exclusive to financially but emotionally works too.

To nurture - your family, children, spouse.

To educate - your family, children, spouse. It’s a fine line between educating and practicing.

To love - not in the obligated sense. Of course you love your children, but love them.

To give - to others, besides yourself and of course your family.

To care - to give two fucks about something besides your self and self interests. 

You are not seen as man to your spouse or your children without these actions. You are seen as an equal, another child, and no family member will ever respect you as more.

Hey guys...

(really anyone but real talk it's mostly men)

This is not meant to be a man hating rant but an educational "oh for fucks sake" rant...

Guys, if a female friend of yours (particularly one you are interested in) has just broken up with their SO, the correct response is something along the lines of:

Oh man, I'm really sorry, are you doing okay? And is there anything I can do to make your day better?

NOT

Oh, so you're fair game now?

And here's why:

1: it's insensitive to your friend who just went through a potentially difficult situation (ie you're being a shit friend)

2: it's really creepy, like sleezly level creepy (not, "I'm hitting on you to make you feel good about yourself so maybe you'll feel better" - there's no such thing where this is a good or supportive thing - even if you have the best of intentions and aren't trying to get laid, guess what, it's still creepy and cruel)

3: you are literally implying that her worth/the level of respect you were giving her is not actually because of her but because she was dating someone....

Any idea why most of us use the "I have a boyfriend" line to get you to leave us the fuck alone? It's because of this exact reason!!!

We know, we fucking KNOW, that you aren't going to accept a no thanks from us but you'll respect that fact that we're "taken" that some other man has "claimed" us (and yes man, because don't get me started on if you have a girlfriend it's either "you need a man to turn you" "can I join" or "oh, so you're still fair game")

But we know that you'll respect that another man has claimed us.

Whether due to a creepy bro code or the fact that you're scared some gorilla will beat the shit out of you for eyeballing his girl... You for some reason respect the fictitious boyfriend than the girl who says no.

So, here is your chance gentlemen, spread the word, help your bros out by being an example of better manhood and calling them out. And if you are the man who does this, realize that the really hot girl who's been your friend this whole time probably trusts you and like s you a lot less now.

In other words being an insensitive prick = lessened company from attractive women and it definitely won't get you laid.
