4. You spend a lot of time fixing things and assembling things around your house

Fixing things become a hobby and you’re proud of the tools in your arsenal. You get excited when something gets broken so you get to tinker on what’s wrong. There are times you refuse getting help from a professional, because you know you’re a manly man and you got this. Sometimes, you disassemble and reassemble things just for the sheer fun of it.

3. Always be opinionated

Just like titas, titos can be very opinionated. Though the former is more charming, titos don’t care if they’re being brash in their expletive-laden politically incorrect statements. Blunt? Deal with it. But just like titas, titos are incredibly entertaining. Titos are very opinionated on a lot of things, mainly with sports and politics.

“Kay laki-laking tao, ang lambot naman sa basketball.”

“Wala, bakla naman yun e.”

“P*t*ng*nang [insert name of politician] sobrang walang kwenta. Sarap tadyakan sa gilagid.”

2. You brag about how crazy you used to be

You brag and humblebrag about the crazy exploits you had in your younger years. You brag about hanging out with so-and-so, how you beat some guy in a fist fight, how many beers you can down in an hour, and the list goes on. Dammit you were a legend and whoever you’re drinking with is going to know about it. More often than not, you humblebrag when you’re hanging out with younger people, or as you call them, “kids.”

1. You downplay the achievements of this generation and you complain a lot about them

You’re frustrated with the stereotypical privileged millennial and the younger generation. You complain about them a lot, from the way they dress, the way they talk, the way they act, and more. With how kids today act, they’d warrant an ass-beating back in the day. “Why does everyone take selfies so much? I get it, it’s your face. Why do you need so much attention? You’re doing the whole world a favor by sending a picture of your face?” “So-and-so celebrity’s dating so-and-so? Why is this news? WHO CARES?” you angrily ramble.

Though you admit some of them are admirable, you tend to downplay some of the younger generation’s achievements, and sometimes it’s involved with some trend. You know deep down it was a lot tougher to get ahead back in the day. You wear your tito-hood as badge of honor, because you’ve been through some crazy stuff that you can afford to take it easy and talk shit.  “Damn kids,” you think to yourself as you sip on another beer and look back on the good old days.
