Man slammed after telling guys why they shouldn't 'lean in' on photographs with women

Man slammed after telling guys why they shouldn't 'lean in' on photographs with women

He's been called out for his 'embarrassing' and 'weak' theory

Every single day people spout utter nonsense on the internet, but one bloke has really taken the cake after explaining his bizarre reasoning as to why other men shouldn't 'lean in' on photographs with women.

Now, whether it's satirical parody or not, it's clear this person's reasoning is, for want of a better word, completely unhinged.

A social media user who goes by the handle @alpharivelino has shared a whole bunch of side-by-side images of heterosexual couples and analysed their body language - namely which direction the dude's crotch is pointing and, according to him, it's apparently a pretty big deal.

Apparently, according to this X account, a woman's pelvic area should always face her partner when posing for a pic and the bloke's crotch should never at any point face her.

Instead, his downstairs region should face outwards towards the world because 'this is correct'.

Another tweet of his reads: "When you lean into your girl, you reveal emotional weakness and neediness. Women find this extremely unattractive. You must stay strong. You must stay vigilant. Don't lean in!"

Bonkers, I know.

The account uses green lines to show the angles of each partner and seems to be quite happy peddling a load of 'Green Lines of Love' merch in order to help men remember to 'stand up straight' and 'not lean in'.

The extremely bizarre concept is known as the 'green line theory'. (X/@alpharivelino)

While this 'green line theory' has been knocking about for some months now, it's recently surfaced on Instagram and it's clear the shock hasn't died down at all.

One Instagram user lamented: "Oh the fragile male ego."

"Omgosh this one is so weak. Some men actually LOVE their women and aren’t afraid to show it. I’d be so embarrassed to claim him," hit out a second.

A third chimed in: "That masculinity is so, terribly, fragile."

"Do people actually believe this…?" wondered a fourth while a fifth asked: "What did I just read?"

Another echoed: "Why would you think about where your wiener is pointing at? Like; 'omg they are taking a picture. Make sure my peepee is not directed at my gal'.

"Who thinks that?! Why?! It’s the same when I would think at where my labia would be if I take a picture."

And a final Instagram user resolved: "Nothing in the world says 'I'm a fragile scared little tool' like spending your time thinking about how to appear 'more masculine'.

"You want people to see you as a man, TREAT THE WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE WITH RESPECT AT ALL TIMES."

Put that on a t-shirt.
