In “Before He Cheats”, the woman vandalizes her boyfriend’s car (including carving her name into his leather seats) because she _thinks_ he’s cheating, without any verifiable proof.

I love this bit from _Meant To Be_, a Florida-Georgia Line song featuring Bebe Rexha, a song so popular it debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Singles chart and stayed there for 50 weeks straight.

In it, Bebe sings about how she is tired of men not treating her right, how she is tired of ‘fake love’ and wants her next man to at least make an effort at wooing her:

> [@](#):
>
> I don’t mean to be so uptight  
> But my heart’s been hurt a couple times  
> By a couple guys that didn’t treat me right  
> I ain’t gonna lie, ain’t gonna lie  
> 'Cause I’m tired of the fake love, show me what you’re made of  
> Boy, make me believe

His response? Classic dick:

> [@](#):
>
> Whoa, hold up, girl, don’t you know you’re beautiful?  
> And it’s easy to see

Wow. This is it? This is you ‘showing what you’re made of’? ‘Whoa, hold up’… I’m not interested in your shit, and ‘… girl’? Do adults talk this way unironically? And then some drunken line about her looks, and that’s all HE needs?

Just absolutely dismissive of her feelings. Total 🍆

If your men listen to you as well as this one, ma’am, I fully understand your complaint!

True, wife beaters are scum.

But the song does say _"The cops came by to bring Earl in_  
_They searched the house high and low_  
_Then they tipped their hats and said, thank you ladies_  
_If you hear from him let us know…"_

> [@ekedolphin](#):

And doing so is apparently a Good Thing to do.

I have to say this 30-second gem had lyrics that were a little tricky to follow along:

_Words trailing off the banality_  
_Gripping nonsense the weather sucks_  
_I couldn’t care less about your fucked up car_  
_Me throwing up on your nicely pressed suit_  
_Would make a nice new topic of conversation_  
_Around the water cooler_

You can’t get much more dickish than eating the person you’re trapped in a cave-in with, and not telling anyone.

I automatically assume these things go both ways. His friend’s trying to find a guy for his sister, which is nice and brotherly. Some women are trying to find someone for their homely brothers, which is also nice.

But he should know, “if you wanna be happy for the rest of your life/never make a pretty woman your wife/so from my personal point of view/get an ugly girl to marry you.” (by various artists, Jimmy Soul most well known.)

ETA: Ninja’d by like 2 seconds!

Indeed.

I was watching some talk show many years ago and there was a woman talking about her friend. The woman talking was quite attractive, and her friend was not so much. She said that if men could only see beyond the physical they’d realize what a truly wonderful and worthwhile person her friend was. Man, I would have paid some serious coin for some highly attractive man in the audience to stand up and vouch for his unattractive friend and say he couldn’t agree more, telling the very attractive female that she should really give his unattractive friend a date.

Possibly more incompetence than dickitude, but, nah, Dennis KC Parks is still a dick.

Smith _was_ a misanthrope, but how does _Frenz_ qualify for dickitude? It’s just the guy lamenting how few friends he’s got.

I always thought the lines…

_My friends ain’t enough for one hand,_  
_My friends don’t amount to one hand,_

…referred more to quality than quantity, especially when followed up with:

_My friends cannot count on one hand._

Meh, I’m not necessarily throwing out the idea that it’s quantity, but I’d lean more to quality.

There’s “Under Your Thumb” by Godley and Creme, the protagonist hears the voice of the ghost of a girl who threw herself under a train to get away from her manipulative lover.
