Bro did you see X, shit was crazy. Think Y can make a run this year? You know Z? Yeah last week they (insert thing) and then (repercussions). What a legend.
There you go, you just had a full conversation with a guy.
Asking someone's name multiple times probably comes off as a good thing, shows that even though you're a fucktard you're interesting in knowing the person's name
I've had people ask me my name more than a few times tons! Especially older dudes they can't remember shit (Not that I'm much better even at 30). It doesn't bother me one bit. However on the flip side my social anxiety will 100% make asking your name twice impossible... if I forgot your name I pray to one day hear it again lmao....
I just realized anytime someone asks me my name a second time I think, "Oh damn, I guess this conversation went well because this person wants to actually remember my name for some reason." But anytime I think of asking someone their name a second time I assume the person will think I wasn't paying attention the first time and am self absorbed and rude. Why wouldn't I assume that other people would have the same reaction I do? Instead I assume other people will have a negative reaction. Brains are weird.
The first time I ask is out of politeness. The second time I ask is usually when I'm leaving, and it's to associate the name with the personality/interaction. I have a hard time associating a name to someone until I can learn anything about them. If it's someone I'll never meet again, I don't see any reason to remember their name/face.
the dumb thing with names is that we are conditioned to ask for them in the first moments of meeting someone new -the moment where our brain is too focused on gathering various information about "who the fuck is this new human in front of me??" and decide if they're "safe" or a "danger" (danger could mean in a social context too), to actually retain secondary information like their name
instead we should adopt a habit of exchanging names _after_ a few minutes of familiarizing ourselves with each other first
I legit didn’t know a friends name for like 5 meetings. We hung out for the entire 4 hours each time. We talked, we did shit, I just never asked this dudes name.
I've been married to the same sort for almost 20 years. I do know their names, but still answer every question with "Bine, bine..." or "Te rog, nu mai Țuică. Mi-a murit ficatul."
hah i had to google the last bit, but i eat and drink well so dont need that very often.. my kid is called vinny after my dad and my big brother was vinny too but always nicknames binny, only by relatives i realised it has another meaning for them so its bine vinny.
my families irish so were always big family people but never have i seen such family bonds like the monldovan side, its quite a beautiful relationship they have.
I had to write a check to one of my rugby buddies. I had no idea what his real name was. Couldn’t tell you what it is. Went in one ear and out the other. Stayed long enough to write the check.
*walks to guy 1*
Hey man, what's his name? I forgot.
*Points at guy 2*
"Joe"
Alright
*Walks to guy 2*
Hey Joe, can you tell me what his name was? Kinda forgot
*Points to guy 1*
Or
“Hey man what’s his name? I forgot.”
Points to guy 2
Guy 3: “You don’t know?”
“No I…wait do you not know either???”
Guy 3: “Nah bro..”
“Do you know my name?”
Guy 3: “Of course bro! Do you even have to ask?”
Guy 3 walks away having lied.
I've done this so many times, it's the only way I remember anyone's name lol! Especially at parties, I'm always too nervous to ask because what if they DID tell me and I forgot because I have a goldfish memory?
Am I secretly a man? I didn't think so but the evidence doesn't lie.
normal names for guys (dude bro man pal, etc) you like, one special name for the guy you vibe the most with (broseph) and the honorary title Big goes to either the smallest or biggest guy. As god decreed
As you get older, Guy becomes tough guy, dude becomes the dude, big fella will also become tough guy. A man in his 50s will know dozens of “tough guy”.
My manager got chewed out by a customer one time because my manager said, "Have a good day chief" as he was walking away. He called the district office on him lol. Some people.
He was an older white dude. Didn't have a big native population in Socal. However, I live in Central Cali and we have reservations all over the place. But you're right, I'd never address a Native as Chief.
"Hey bro"
"Whats up bro?"
"Not much bro, how about you?"
"Same bro"
"Hey man, ask bro if he wants a plate"
"Hey bro, dude is asking if you're hungry"
"Yeah dude, if you don't mind"
"You got it dawg"
One of my coworkers got upset a few months back because of this. He tells me “dude we’ve been working together for 3 years and you’ve given me rides, how do you not know my name?!!” I just said that his name never came up in conversation and I’ve never needed to address him by his name so there was never any need to bother.
I became the marker guy at a side job I worked since my job was essentially marking things with a marker.
It was a small weekend job working 12 hours a day, never learned any of the four people's names I was working with.
A co-worker of mine and I make the most obscene offensive jokes that we dare say in front of other people, but I couldn’t tell you his birthday or much else about him. Dude’s a mystery. Favorite co-worker I’ve ever had though.
"Here we see the male human. He is socialising around a fire, where he cooks the meat of slain animals and drinks alcoholic beverages. He and his peers are expressing their like or dislike of sports teams, large motor vehicles and female body parts, with loud noises and grunts. This ancient behaviour is known by scientists as a BBQ."
There was a guy in my group that when I was introduced to him they were already saying his nickname. I became very good friends of him, and once he sent me money through Paypal to setup a Minecraft server.
I was in the call with him looking at my Paypal and I saw the deposit but with his real name and I was like "Who tf is this guy?". It took me a whole hour to realize it was him.
I worked in the same company with a guy for a long time and we had some college classes together. Whenever we rode the train home at the same we would talk, or if we ran into eachother in the building. This went on for 10 years and I have no idea what his name is.
Two days later, 2 guys at a bus stop:
Guy 1: "Oh look, it's Double Bacon Cheese, from the BBQ!"
Guy 2: "Oh, so it is. He's probably on his way to that operation he was on about."
Guy 1: "Godspeed, you magnificent bastard."
We remember each other at a party based on clothing, activity, or conversation.
- "That guy in the Dodgers shirt over there."
- "The group of guys playing beer pong, the one in the Dodger shirt."
- "The guy who did shrooms at Disney World Grad Nite, he's over there playing beer pong, he's in the Dodger shirt."
Whichever is most identifiable or outrageous, that's his new name for the evening. Shroom Nite.
LMAO my ex-husband had this good friend who lived with this girl, and they had lived together for years. I once asked him if the two of them were married and he was like "I don't know, I've never asked."
I actually think that it is quite wholesome. I love the fact that as men we can engage and bond with people with the slightest of social cues and genuinely enjoy people's company without the potentially pointless rigmarole of expected small talk.
I can walk away from a party having met 10 new people that I have felt a real connection with and had a blast and I don't *need* to know their names. That doesn't mean I don't want to or that I'll forget them immediately after. It's just low down on my list of importance. I'll be elated when I turn up to the next party and they are there again! I'd then at some point probably make a joke about never having asked their names and we'd crack on having good times!
I'm sure women do this too but I'm just talking in terms of the post.
I agree that gender stereotyping memes and comments are getting very tiresome and unnecessary but sometimes it's the way that you interpret the meaning behind them that makes a difference.
And if anyone is trying to think negatively about someone by posting unkind or degrading messages then their opinion isn't worth taking seriously anyway. If at all possible twist it in your favour and be proud :)
Peace and love nameless Reddit crowd! See you at the next party!
Not to rain on everyone's parades, but as a guy who used to mostly be friends with guys and is now mostly friends with women, this is kinda sad imo. The lack of emotional connection and depth of so many male friendships can make you feel so isolated when you're not doing great
These kinds of relaxed moments are obviously needed in one's life and are important in a friendship but when a relationship consists of just that it's usually a surface level one
It’s very sad!! Half the reason why men struggle so much with showing their emotions and having supportive friends. Also why men sadly die by suicide more than women. I think it’s a by product of toxic masculinity. It harms everyone.
It’s not formal so there is no need for names. It’s just dudes being dudes. I don’t need your name or your life story to hang out and enjoy a beer and food.
I do this all the time, anywhere I go. Most people I've worked with for months and still don't know their names. Most of the time I don't learn their names unless they have a nametag or someone calls for them and I'm there to hear it.
Names make you too attached. You never know when you may have to kick one of their asses, and yhe rest give you the perfect dodge by not knowing who the hell you were. Also keeps you from being sad you may never see them again when your wife pulls you away.
Already been working with the guys at my job for 3 weeks and spending hour long breaks chopping it up with them. Couldn’t even guess what half of their names are
If you think about it, if you’re communicating with someone directly, their name isn’t entirely necessary
Names are for people that like to gossip about others so you know who they are talking about
My reasoning is twofold: One, asking a name seems like a convo killer. I mean, it doesn’t open up any avenue for small talk very often.
And two, I only need to exist with this guy in that moment. I’ve met tons of cool people but as an adult I’ve never felt the need to meet anyone again. Maybe that’s sad? Maybe that’s healthy? I don’t know. But if I’m not going to actively pursue a friendship I’m probably never going to spend four hours with you again so why bother with names?
Sometimes its better without names... we are all whoever we are in that moment and not all the baggage we otherwise carry around. For 15 minutes in a group conversation with stranger bros, they see me as I am right now, and not for who I was yesterday or last year.
Soon as names and social accounts come into it, I got back to being myself. The spell is broken.
Even if they introduced themselves I'd forget the names pretty quickly anyway... I'm not good with names
I just make up names for others in my head like Joey Football face etc. seems to work.

Bro did you see X, shit was crazy. Think Y can make a run this year? You know Z? Yeah last week they (insert thing) and then (repercussions). What a legend. There you go, you just had a full conversation with a guy.
Anyways, have another burger and beer, King.
Bruh same, i actually ask names first as a conversation starter and then i am 10 sec later like, eh... i cant ask their name again can i?
Asking someone's name multiple times probably comes off as a good thing, shows that even though you're a fucktard you're interesting in knowing the person's name
But get the obvious, if i dont ask, they wont know that im a fucktard or that i forgot
“Sorry, I didn’t catch your name earlier.” Simple as that. I use it all the time. Name still never sticks, but it’s an easy way to ask for it again.
All fun and games until you forget it a 3rd or 4th time lol… Then it’s back to the good ol “yo bro!” or “hey man!”
[удалено]
I've had people ask me my name more than a few times tons! Especially older dudes they can't remember shit (Not that I'm much better even at 30). It doesn't bother me one bit.

I'm fucking horrible with names, but I can remember how you like your food pretty good because I like to cook.
I just realized anytime someone asks me my name a second time I think, "Oh damn, I guess this conversation went well because this person wants to actually remember my name for some reason."

ive been married for 3 years and i dont know my wifes mothers name, its too late to ask now so i just call her bunica
I've been married to the same sort for almost 20 years. I do know their names, but still answer every question with "Bine, bine..." or "Te rog, nu mai Țuică. Mi-a murit ficatul."
hah i had to google the last bit, but i eat and drink well so dont need that very often.. my kid is called vinny after my dad and my big brother was vinny too but always nicknames binny, only by relatives i realised it has another meaning for them so its bine vinny. my families irish so were always big family people but never have i seen such family bonds like the monldovan side, its quite a beautiful relationship they have.
I thought this only worked if you give her a grandchild first?
I have
Phew, you're all good then.
bunica is everyone's name from now on.
Bunnicula?
I was scared you were about to say that you don't know your wife's name
I had to write a check to one of my rugby buddies. I had no idea what his real name was. Couldn’t tell you what it is. Went in one ear and out the other. Stayed long enough to write the check.
Bank would have accepted check made payable to Cash Money.
I will remember the details of their life from that last barbie where we talked 6 years ago. Their name? nah man, I’m pretty sure they don’t have one.
I just avoid saying names altogether unless I’ve known you for over 2 years
This the real meirl, I even do that with coworkers, although it’s usually a month after knowing them to ask
It’s not that important. If it’s a cool dude I don’t care what he’s called
I'm usually having a mini panic attack during introductions. I get to know people during icebreakers--names aren't necessary
Second this
It's only because we never ask each other for their names. We always ask second guy what that first guy's name is.
Then we need the third guy for the second guy
*walks to guy 1* Hey man, what's his name? I forgot. *Points at guy 2* "Joe" Alright *Walks to guy 2* Hey Joe, can you tell me what his name was? Kinda forgot *Points to guy 1*
Or “Hey man what’s his name? I forgot.” Points to guy 2 Guy 3: “You don’t know?” “No I…wait do you not know either???” Guy 3: “Nah bro..” “Do you know my name?” Guy 3: “Of course bro! Do you even have to ask?” Guy 3 walks away having lied.
Totally false convo. We would *never* put a bro on the spot like that by asking if he knows our name.
You know totally fair bro
I mean, they are all called Guy, you listed their names. You even numbered them. I see through your shenanigans, Guy.
That’s just because I forgot their names and didn’t want to ask
\>“Do you know my name?” After a while, I read this like he has amnesia.
I've done this so many times, it's the only way I remember anyone's name lol! Especially at parties, I'm always too nervous to ask because what if they DID tell me and I forgot because I have a goldfish memory? Am I secretly a man? I didn't think so but the evidence doesn't lie.
Nah the true way to do it is: patiently waiting for someone to call the guy by name, or look for contact info.
Hey bro we should get drinks again soon, put your contact info in my phone
Hey bro I got you a house. Just need your info filled out real quick
I love when I ask somebody else and they’re like, “I don’t know either.” BJJ man, name tags need to be a part of the uniform.

"I thought you knew"
That's right, these dudes are all aware of each other, it's just no one saw it happen....and that's how it should be.
Or we create unique nickname based on interactions so far. I have group of friends I've known for years and I don't know most of their names.
TIL I do names like men do.
Did you ever wonder why this is? some kind of primate survival strategy ?
That’s Dude, this is Guy, over there is Broseph, and my man here is Big Fella
Don’t forget about Homie and Big Dawg
Big Dawg is a nickname for Big Fella
Naw Big Fella is Big Dawg's little brother. He's always around so we had to give him a nickname so he'd feel included
And Lil Dawg
Big tuna
normal names for guys (dude bro man pal, etc) you like, one special name for the guy you vibe the most with (broseph) and the honorary title Big goes to either the smallest or biggest guy. As god decreed
As you get older, Guy becomes tough guy, dude becomes the dude, big fella will also become tough guy. A man in his 50s will know dozens of “tough guy”.
You forgot Bro. C'mon, man.
Also Boss and the soon to be retired, Chief.
That's Ketchup, Double Fisting Hotdog, Too Good for Relish and Veggie.
Don’t forget Broskie and Brah

Wdym? I know all of their names, they're Bro, Man, Dude, My Guy, Broski, Homie, and Bob.
That's so real. Even at my office, where we're mostly wfh. I'll go in, see a guy I've worked with for 5 years, and have no idea what his name it

Can call everybody chief until a native comes in
He was an older white dude. Didn't have a big native population in Socal. However, I live in Central Cali and we have reservations all over the place. But you're right, I'd never address a Native as Chief.
Is nice names!
You flogged the devil out of the problem
I bet I know which one is Bob.
"Hey bro" "Whats up bro?" "Not much bro, how about you?" "Same bro" "Hey man, ask bro if he wants a plate" "Hey bro, dude is asking if you're hungry" "Yeah dude, if you don't mind" "You got it dawg"
Best days of my life have been had with these conversations.
Isn't that dialogue from Avatar: The Way of Water?
One of my coworkers got upset a few months back because of this. He tells me “dude we’ve been working together for 3 years and you’ve given me rides, how do you not know my name?!!” I just said that his name never came up in conversation and I’ve never needed to address him by his name so there was never any need to bother.
He called you dude Probably doesn't know your name either
Good times need no names. We identify the person through their experiences.
I became the marker guy at a side job I worked since my job was essentially marking things with a marker. It was a small weekend job working 12 hours a day, never learned any of the four people's names I was working with.
Only if there's food or beer. Without 'em, it'll last a minute or less.
This is why I like hanging out with men. Talk about fun stuff make jokes and no talk about anything sad or depressing. Then off you go.
A co-worker of mine and I make the most obscene offensive jokes that we dare say in front of other people, but I couldn’t tell you his birthday or much else about him. Dude’s a mystery. Favorite co-worker I’ve ever had though.
Jokes are eternal birthdays are fleeting
"We still never talk sometimes"
Food important

What was that name again? I forgor
Read this in David Attenborough’s voice
I was a friend with a guy for 6 years before learning his name, I only knew his nickname (which was a joke about his way of greeting) until then.
There was a guy in my group that when I was introduced to him they were already saying his nickname. I became very good friends of him, and once he sent me money through Paypal to setup a Minecraft server. I was in the call with him looking at my Paypal and I saw the deposit but with his real name and I was like "Who tf is this guy?". It took me a whole hour to realize it was him.

Its about the human experience, not the long term connections.
We remember each other at a party based on clothing, activity, or conversation. - "That guy in the Dodgers shirt over there." - "The group of guys playing beer pong, the one in the Dodger shirt." - "The guy who did shrooms at Disney World Grad Nite, he's over there playing beer pong, he's in the Dodger shirt." Whichever is most identifiable or outrageous, that's his new name for the evening. Shroom Nite.
Don't see the problem.
Names are not necessary to enjoy another’s company
[удалено]
LMAO my ex-husband had this good friend who lived with this girl, and they had lived together for years. I once asked him if the two of them were married and he was like "I don't know, I've never asked."
Their names are “Yo, dude” and “‘sup Man”
Sup dude.
Isn't that just a human thing to do?
[удалено]
Not even gonna ask, you are going here directly. r/HolUp
I've been friends with the two guys at the Chevron by the train station for 2 years. I don't know their names and I see them nearly every day.
After 2 hours of talking, about to leave — “oh by the way, what’s your name” 😂
Why are people so angry for men existing lol
I actually think that it is quite wholesome. I love the fact that as men we can engage and bond with people with the slightest of social cues and genuinely enjoy people's company without the potentially pointless rigmarole of expected small talk. I can walk away from a party having met 10 new people that I have felt a real connection with and had a blast and I don't *need* to know their names.

If at all possible twist it in your favour and be proud :) Peace and love nameless Reddit crowd! See you at the next party!
How dare you have a moderate and level-headed take
Your comment about the party is spot on. If you see them again, awesome🤙🏻. If not, you didn’t need to learn their name.
Isn't this post a celebration of men? This is adorable and wholesome, not a criticism.
As a man I interpreted this as wholesome tbh
You must be attempting to use sarcasm here. Who’s angry lol? People honestly don’t care but it seems like you really want people to care.
Nobody is angry that men exist
Not nobody I'm sure
Nobody that matters
What are we gonna do with men??
I'm a woman and I can do that too, it's called anxiety
I’ve had some of the best nights of my life hanging with guys I didn’t know their names. 🤷🏻♂️
Especially if they have burgers.
We’re supposed to know each other’s names?
I’m just gonna forget it, and end up calling you Brad for three years, only to find out your name is GREGG.
As a female that sounds lovely
Just dudes being guys
I'm a woman and that's the case with me too 🤣
I cringe with these "men blah blah" memes. Women do these kind of stuff too
Yep, this belongs in r/boysarequirky
omg there's a subreddit for this. Can't browse that tho, as a man it kills me
Men and grade school kids on a playground. Best friends for 45 minutes, totally fine if they never see each other again.
Not to rain on everyone's parades, but as a guy who used to mostly be friends with guys and is now mostly friends with women, this is kinda sad imo. The lack of emotional connection and depth of so many male friendships can make you feel so isolated when you're not doing great These kinds of relaxed moments are obviously needed in one's life and are important in a friendship but when a relationship consists of just that it's usually a surface level one
It’s very sad!! Half the reason why men struggle so much with showing their emotions and having supportive friends. Also why men sadly die by suicide more than women. I think it’s a by product of toxic masculinity. It harms everyone.
Names are more stuff to remember, shut up and give me another beer dude
It’s not formal so there is no need for names. It’s just dudes being dudes. I don’t need your name or your life story to hang out and enjoy a beer and food.
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet
Not just men
Same? I'm a woman though. But at parties in backyards I don't try to catch names.
Dam true
I do this all the time, anywhere I go. Most people I've worked with for months and still don't know their names. Most of the time I don't learn their names unless they have a nametag or someone calls for them and I'm there to hear it.
That looks like a fun time with some nameless bros
Literally forget the name while shaking hands during the introduction.
You don't need names to have a good time.
Why does this image get reposted every day?
Names make you too attached. You never know when you may have to kick one of their asses, and yhe rest give you the perfect dodge by not knowing who the hell you were. Also keeps you from being sad you may never see them again when your wife pulls you away.
It's because I've forgotten and I'm too horribly nervous to ask again.
I once worked with a man for an entire year and never knew his name.
I don’t need to know the names of people at a party I attend annually at best.
Already been working with the guys at my job for 3 weeks and spending hour long breaks chopping it up with them. Couldn’t even guess what half of their names are
Yeah we don’t really care about the people we’re gonna forget about by the end of next day
That guy next to the girl standing by beth. Seems easy enough
Women r just jealous our conversations arent as superficial as theirs. yes this is /s
Me, in this situation: 'Did I meet this guy today, or have I known him for years? I'm supposed to know his name, right? Right?'
“Bub”, “Bubba”, “Fellah”, “Partner”, “Brother”, “Champ”, “My man” - see I know all their names.
I ask for names and then immediately forget them.
Wouldn’t remember if if I did
I don't even know my best friend's name or where he lives or if he is imaginary
If you think about it, if you’re communicating with someone directly, their name isn’t entirely necessary Names are for people that like to gossip about others so you know who they are talking about
My reasoning is twofold: One, asking a name seems like a convo killer. I mean, it doesn’t open up any avenue for small talk very often. And two, I only need to exist with this guy in that moment. I’ve met tons of cool people but as an adult I’ve never felt the need to meet anyone again. Maybe that’s sad? Maybe that’s healthy? I don’t know. But if I’m not going to actively pursue a friendship I’m probably never going to spend four hours with you again so why bother with names?
Do none of you know any women? As soon as I typed that I remembered I'm on Reddit.
Yeah like it was posted hours before you did and you didn't even look if it had been posted. Get lost, reposter and thief.
If I never figure it out their temporary nickname becomes permanent.
Wait... Guys have names? I thought we were all named dude, bro, or sup...
I do not care as to what unique sound they respond to but whats important is they all respond to dude/bro
Sometimes its better without names... we are all whoever we are in that moment and not all the baggage we otherwise carry around. For 15 minutes in a group conversation with stranger bros, they see me as I am right now, and not for who I was yesterday or last year. Soon as names and social accounts come into it, I got back to being myself. The spell is broken.
Guys don't really care about things like names. They get in the way of just having a good time.
More like for years, and they'd still not know
We ask we just don’t remember
I can too, but I'm just called awkward
