By requiring the vacuum to be a GM, we obtain an additional constraint, namely the GM constraint, on the scalar potential. In this work, we explore the GM constraint on the $CP$-conserving general 2HDM. This constraint is found to put limits on the soft $\\mathbb{Z}_2$ breaking mass parameter $m_{12}^2$ and also squeeze the heavy $CP$-even Higgs boson mass into larger values for the $m_{12}^2< 0$ case.
