We all now how good a slice of life anime about japanese Girls can be. But what about a slice of life anime involving guys just being dudes, in a general way?
If you can think of any, discuss them here.

Jojo is the best guys being dudes anime, because it features two guybros friending it up together and bonding by mutually pissing into another man's mouth.

I was going to recommend this but I've not watched the entire show, it seems pretty faitfhul to the original manga except it removes some of the most violent parts. At the beginning is like Cromartie high but with more fights, but after a time it goes full Fist of the North star.

No, it goes full parody of fist of the north star. Otokojuku was always a comedy.

Well, here are some.

Astro Fighter Sunred- this guy does a lot of piece of crap failson stuff that i relate to
Kids on the Slope- this one is actually about 2 homos in jazz band but it fits the criteria too
Golden Boy- The golden boy is always going around hugging a toilet and doing funny sexual assaults
Welcome to the NHK- this one is about 2 goons
Street Fighter 2- well, people tell me this isn't a slice of life but actually I do a lot of the same stuff that Ryu and Ken do like streetfighting and being extremely courageous so I think it counts

Yowapeda isn't wholly inaccurate, but does anyone really act like those Free dudes?

Is it just pretty people? Am I and the people around me not pretty enough to know anyone who acts like them?

Those are actually shows about how homosexuals act.

A lot of people mistake the behavior of homosexuals for the behavior of beautiful people because they're almost always one and the same. But actually, sometimes gay people are fat and gross like the very ones which post on these forums.

I know it's already been said but Daily Lives of High School Boys can't be said enough.

And Kids on the Slope is extremely good, slightly different type of show though; Daily Lives is like a gag show, Kids on the Slope has a lot more drama. It was one of the best shows that season.

This is a better answer and closer to the spirit of the question than any of the stuff I came up with, let's go with that.

Since the series came up, you should also watch the Otokojuku movie. It stars, and was directed, by Tak Sakaguchi. He's the guy from Versus and Battlefield Baseball, and is the manliest man to ever be a man.

It also has a sweet theme song.

You can win a game of sports, you can't win a club. Sports lends itself naturally to a coherent plot, conflict, antagonists etc where slice of life by its definition does not. Aim for the Ace is not cute girls doing cute things.

Everyone's suggesting Cromartie, but I think it might be a little too dull. It's just stuff happening in a normal Japanese high school.
