A simple question for all the manly-men at The Escapist... What is the most unmanly thing you do? What is the one thing that you love that completely defies the stereotypical manly way of life?

I'll start... I love romance movies, (especially sad ones), and watch Lucky Star...

EDIT: Just to be fair, if you're a women then post things you do that are portrayed as "Manly"...
Like...

I don't know...

...watching Monster Truck Rallies

...and NASCAR

UPDATE: April 29, 2012

Jesus, when did this relic of a thread come back up?

Anyways, updating the situation... Another "unmanly" thing I do... Ponies...

I'm sure that some Escapists will argue over it but let's face it, My Little Pony is considered extremely unmanly to the Average Joe/Jane... It's just because they don't know that Rainbow Dash makes everything 20% cooler...

A lot of the music I listen to is..."unmanly", to say the least.

I also enjoy sad movies.

Huh... I would say that half of the things I do are 'un-manly'. I enjoyed the movie Pride and Prejudice, I don't enjoy drinking beer, I don't play/watch sports, I write poetry and short stories etc. My only real 'manly' quality is my voice, which is fairly deep.

I pee sitting down.

Not very manly, I know, but the convenience of a toilet is that you can sit on it, so by God I'm gonna sit on it.

I don't watch or play sports, I like cats instead of dogs, I don't really enjoy beer(though I do like Vodka)... the list goes on with small things like that. Of course we all know that the idea of manliness is a flawed gender stereotype... right?

I like Caramelldansen. A lot.

I also have a tendency to squee during movies. This can be rather embarrassing.

According to my friends I'm gay as hell, despite being straight, I just generally move around in the most natural way possible, which apparently comes off as gay.

That's not unmanly, that's just common sense and convenience. I mean, come on...Those things lose accuracy with range....

I cried very openly at the end of Moulin Rouge...

In fairness so did my girlfriend. So I think we're even.

Probably skipping through the hallways of school, uncaring of stares.
I also have watched Lucky Star, and some other animes like that.

The only 'manly' thing I have is a penis!...seriously. I hate sports, I don't drink, I like shopping, I'd rather a musical than an action movie, I like fashion, I like men(this is unmanly, yes?), and I don't think gaming is very manly either.
EDIT: I don't swear often, I hate mess, I love girly anime, I love the carramelldansen, I'm partially a romantic(part of me is anyways), I try to not harass people, Part of me is very emotional...
EDIT EDIT: I love baking and cooking, I'm good at sewing, I love to dance in the ballet sort of way...
EDIT EDIT EDIT: I have more, I hate violence and find these people who bar hop all night and go to strip clubs weird...


Also: someone quoted the irony of my name being Spartan and me being very feminine, which I guess is pretty funny. But my avatar shows the true Spartan!

I do theater. I enjoy a good musical. I write a lot.

I personally don't consider these things to be "unmanly" but where I grew up a lot of people did.

I was once called "the straightest guy in theater" by one of my college classmates though. So that was nice.
