Herding Mentality

Pertaining to the mindset many people have, the need to be near other people (even strangers), often at the disappointment of the strangers/foreign group.

OR

How large numbers of people act in the same ways at the same times.

Parking your car in a space directly next to another, when the entire lot is empty. Also may be used effectively to describe a group's behavior when choosing a spot on an empty beach. If they lay their blanket within a few feet of you, they have demonstrated the herding mentality.

"Did you see where they just put their blanket?! It's practically on top of ours and the ENTIRE beach is empty."

"They totally have the herding mentality."

Eric Mentality

When you know that you lack any/everything needed to get a female, but you accept it whole heartedly.

When your looks, personality, ect, are lacking and you make up for it with an optomistic view of yourself, hoping that will change others opinion on you as well.

I have to use the "Eric Mentality", I kno I'm ugly, that's why I'm nice to girls. Than I hope for the best.

Look at this guy he must have that "Eric Mentality", he knows he can't get her number, but he keeps talking hoping she will change her mind, even though his looks aren't going to change. lol

Mac mentality

Dale: Hey there's Angie! Want me to pick her up?

Tucker: Nah, let's just go to the mall.

Dale: I thought you two were friends? Something happen?

Tucker: She developed the Mac mentality after her parents got her her iPhone and Macbook. She doesnt even acknowledge me anymore since all I have is this Android phone.

Dale: Harsh...

Andrew Tate Mentality

The mindset of thinking of being the most racist, homophobic, sexist, and body-shaming person is the same as being an alpha, sigma, greek alphabet male. (Plus thinking Andrew Tate is the equivalent of god)

Hey, that person over there has Andrew Tate Mentality, I bet he bought all of his classes.
