Why is it that when a guy is an ******, he thinks it's okay but the SECOND someone gives him attitude or shows him what it feels like he bitches about it? Does anyone understand that? I am pretty guyish, mentally, but that's one thing I don't get. A lot of girls are like that too, but I think they expect it more, guys just think they can do it without any reprecussions.
Guys, why is this? I know some guys aren't like this but the majority of guys I've seen in my life are so shocked when someone shows them a bit of attitude, and shows them what it feels like to be rude or whatever. Any answers?

They have a certain idea of how women should be or look or act and how guys should be.
They think that they it makes them a big man to act that way, or they just don't care.
If someone calls them on it or they have to deal, they can't take it, because it hurts their fragile ego and upsets their idea of what the world should be.

These are guys that "dish it out,but can't take it".This is more an age and maturity issue.Most guys probably don't see thier behavior as a problem and consider it the "norm".They keep repeating it because usually nobody corrects them in the first place.This makes the behavior "acceptable" in thier minds because they keep getting away with it.
Think of a dog that keeps relieving itself in the house on the floor....:0) It's going to keep happening until someone lets it know it's not acceptable.
When you show them attitude they are shocked because they probably never had it "dished out" to them.He may feel he is not deserving of your attitude and see's no wrong in his behavior.Could have something to do with male ego as well.

From what I've read the double standard is common to people who lack empathy. In general men tend to be less empathetic than women though I've known women with little empathy. I've known two people who were completely devoid of empathy suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. These guys will make you appreciate the double standard of the "typical" male!

I think it has to do with the fact that many men have their ideal selves and what they really are. The bigger gap between the two the more of jerk a guy will be. But if a guy is really close to his ideal self then he will be a real man. I know I am overgeneralizing here but it is just my opinion.

As men, we like to feel like men. These guys are just acting "alpha" making it feel like they're in charge. But when theres that someone who questions his alphaness by giving him attitude or what not, they can go fanatic, still trying to back up their belief that they are alpha. In short, these are just insecure guys who believe that they must "Act" alpha to "Be" alpha.

I think it is the act of being macho. Testosterone plays a big part in it also, I bet. He likes to feel "above" or "better" than everyone. Gives him a sense of well being and power.
