i pulled a chair from underneath a guy and he fell and everyone laughed and then he laughed too as he got up. and then he gets up and sits right next to someone else and he barely talked to me when i asked him if he was mad at me.
i later found out he was embarassed? WTF? i wouldn't get embarassed if that happened. whats up with guys? do they really get embarassed that easily?

So he got embarrased. That's pretty much all that does embarras us, but its a big one, so, yea, we're that easy to embarras.
Why were you pullin chairs out from under people anyway? What did he ever do to you???
...Not that I care. I probably would have laughed too. [ asano's advice column | Ask asano A Question ]

Not everyone shares the same views on these things - some might be cool about it and not really care, but it can certainly knock other peoples confidence.
Just apologize and say you didn't mean for him to feel that way. After a bit of time, he will forget about it and hopefully carry on as normal with you. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

He USED to tuck the front of his shirt in so you could see his belt buckle and I said reallly loud by accident, "Your belt looks really dumb like that." And he doesn't do it anymore and didn't talk to me for the rest of that day! So what I'm trying to say is, Yup guys get embrassed that easily. =]]]]] [ Rachee's advice column | Ask Rachee A Question ]

Alin75 answered Saturday May 31 2008, 5:41 am: Not sure that this is a question of being a guy. Some people get embarassed more easily than others. Sometimes a joke will go down well with one person and poorly with another.
In general you should be careful with the kind of practical jokes that have a large group of people laughing at (not with) one individual. Those can easily bruise egos and make the individual feel ridiculed and singled out.
Dont get me wrong, some people don't mind at all, but I have found that they are often a minority...
