I don't know who y'all hang out with, but my friends for decades have given each other shit for anything we can possibly think of. It's a form of male bonding.

You're not going to hear from men who actually do this because they don't have a good reason and aren't typically comfortable with the kind of introspection the question demands.
Some people are exclusionary pricks who look for excuses to judge others. They don't have or need a reason. It's bullying.
I just do whatever I feel like doing at the time.
I've never heard someone's strong opinion about it. Do guys really diss guys for sitting down?
In German there's an insult: "Sitzpinkler". It means "someone who sits down when peeing". Never heard anyone use it seriously though.
I'm surprised to hear German has a word for this, considering that stats I've previously seen show Germany as having the highest proportion of male sitting pee-ers.
I don't shame people for it, but I worked at a place where the screw holding the seat broke and it took a week for a new one to get in to the local hardware shop, so any time someone went in for that week someone would say "better not sit to piss" rather than be helpful because we like to do a little trolling around here
One morning dude comes in clearly rushing cuz he's a little late, runs in, and my coworker says the line. Before he can finish it the guys already in the shitter with the door slammed we hear the zipper he's going so fast and furious, hear his ass hit the seat at speed, as well as him and the seat sliding from the missing bolt and falling into the corner of the room, taking the lid of the reservoir with him
The "GYADDAMIT" as everything in the other room crashed and banged will be with me til I die, it makes me chuckle every time I think of it
I mostly sit down when I pee because my cat likes to spend quality time when I'm on the toilet and he gets upset if into in the bathroom and don't sit down.
Remember manliness is not caring about how other people define manliness.
Be a rebel; stand to shit

Sorry George...
This is pretty close too. But he's jumping not running.
NSFW mild
As a man WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TELLING ME HOW YOU PEE!?! What god damn conversation is going on!?! How the hell did this come up? We don't normally talk about this!
My true passion in life is Aztec history.
We don’t normally talk about this!
We should though! We should just not be shit bags about it. Sharing & seeking info rather than having a weird chauvinistic view on how pee exits bodies.
There's nothing chauvinistic about it! I just don't want to know or care about what you do in the bathroom. We're not going to have a conversation about it. JUST WASH YOUR HANDS!
I wiped my ass with a wadded up ball of 25 toilet paper squares for years because no one wanted to tell me about more efficient and effective ways to do it. Bathroom knowledge is like your paycheck. They say you shouldn't talk about it with your peers, but it needs to be talked about.
These days I can clean my whole ass, even on the most explosive days, with less than 10 squares, and I'm saving so much money.
Years ago a Psych episode had Burton say "all the men's health journals agree" that it's better for your circulation, and I never looked back (nor fact checked).
Guys who do diss other guys for not peeing standing up have major self esteem issues or insecurities.
I'm a man and I pee sitting down because:
- it's more comfortable
- it doesn't splash pee water everywhere all over the toilet bowl and the floor or my pants.
- can access the toilet paper easier to wipe clean instead of just shaking it and having a wet pee stain on my underwear
- I have my hands free to use my phone
- I can also fight anyone that might barge in an try to assault me while I pee without peeing on myself so it's a tactical defense position.
Real men sit to pee so they don't have to clean their own piss up later.
Whenever I talk about this, some asshat will come along and make a comment about sitting on a tree. No, dumbass, I don't sit to pee on a tree. Or a urinal. I sit to pee on my toilet at home so I can tell you what an idiot you are while I'm pissing just to prove how manly I am.
Real men pee however they want and make sure not to leave a mess for the next bathroom user. Standing or sitting has nothing to do with masculinity.
Agreed, just making a joke because of the context.

Hahahahahaha! "dO yOu SiT aT a UrInAl Or On A tReE?" That is some wrinkle-free brain logic right there.
I’m a man and I pee sitting down because:
it’s more comfortable
Agreed, I will generally sit down.
It's solely a matter of comfort and/or convenience:
- No. 2: Toilet (obviously, I hope).
- No. 1 on the road or at the pub: Urinal or standing elsewhere.
- No. 1 otherwise: sit down and relax.
I lay down to pee.
Now I lay me down to pee...
That a whole
'nother
Level
I can also fight anyone that might barge in an try to assault me while I pee without peeing on myself so it's a tactical defense position.
Bruh. You're giving up your best offensive maneuver by sitting down! You piss AT your attacker!
How long do you pee that you have time to acces your phone though?
Usually about 15 to 20 seconds. I've been known to check my phone while standing to pee, it really just depends on what I'm doing It's not like I'm doing a lot on my phone while peeing.

"What is that? An umbrella? Are you afraid of a little rain? Are you gay? What's the umbrella for, so you can stick it up your ass?"
I'm ripping off Bill Burr here. Macho men are drooling morons who die at age 54. Why ask them their opinion on anything?
I actually can't pee with other people in the room, so public washrooms are a nightmare. But I learned that I can pee real easy in them while I'm sitting down to take a shit. So anytime I'm in one with other people, I just chill in the stall and pretend to take a shit. Might even fiddle with toilet paper after a while and flush just to keep the charade going.
Well, through that I learned that sitting to piss feels waayyyy fucking better. Especially in the middle of the night after crawling out of bed. I'm married, have a kid, and no longer care if people know I sometimes sit to pee.
Ugh, me, with a shy bladder, at intermission during Hamilton.
My eyes were turning yellow at Guns and Ships. Really thought I wouldn't make it. The line at the men's room was huge. Get in. Get to urinal. Can't.
Ugh.
End up leaving with bladder still full and getting back into line to get a stall and finish just in time. Couldn't even get another overpriced beer for the second act.
Also (sorry, but old guy here) the nozzle sometimes unexpectedly sprays sideways. It's no worry if you're sitting down, but if you're standing up you might've just wet your pants... or the pants of the unlucky schmoe at the neighboring urinal.
I cant ever recall a time I have questioned, or been questioned, as to why a guy would sit to pee. I sit at home because its more comfortable. I stand at public toilets because the seats are gross

I want to hear answers from men who really detest men who sit to pee.
I fear that you will not many of these kinds of people on Lemmy. If you really want a good answer, you'd have to post it somewhere like Twitter or Truth Social.
They can be fucking annoying. Like we get it, you sit down and think you're somehow superior for being different. Otherwise I take no issue with them.
I always sit to pee when I'm at home, mostly so I don't have to worry about spray/drippage/seat positions, but I also believe that men have this amazing power where we have the ability to stand and pee... and I think the biggest flex you can make when you have amazing power is to only use that power when it makes sense. Restraint is power.

It's 3am and I'm not wearing my glasses or turning on the light.
when you have to piss while shitting, do you stand up turn around and piss on your shit and then sit back down to finish shitting?
I tried this once when I was probably about two or three years old. It did not go well.
I love you
Takin up the one stall to pee when there are three urinals open and I gotta blast
one stall
🤨
Things are contextual. "Does sit to pee" does not equate "always sits to pee".
Is this still a thing that people get upset about though? Personally I think a man sitting down just to pee is kind of silly, but I certainly wouldn't make fun or get upset about it. I think the last time I heard someone make a joke about men sitting to pee was like 15 years ago lol
I will say the option to stand up is one of my favorite male privileges, but I'm also aware that such a petty thing to fav probably indicates my lack of perspective. But it is incredibly convenient in gross places and nowhere places.
I only stand in public at urinals.
Having to clean my own bathroom put a stop to the standing at home.
Asks for one group to respond - gets the opposite.
