Turn in your man card

[Irony's Acolyte]

Well I know there are all sorts of things that I do that aren't very "manly". I'm sure you can guess at least one.

You can have my man card though. Despite the fact that I still tend to identify myself as male, I generally work on being a person rather than a man.

Stereotypes can be funny though!

-I am quite fond of riding my bike
-I also quite enjoy cooking, and healthy cooking at that.
-I also detest gunwank gray/brown bore fests like CoD or similar FPSs

-Same as above, but with Malcolm Reynolds, and brief episodes of drooling over that sexy brown coat

Don't care or know anything about cars, never had a girlfriend or any more than a friendly handshake from a girl..Actually no not even a handshake. Though thats by choice mostly honestly, I've had girls interested I just have zero desire to be with anyone and it drives me mad! I think its because I never had any interaction therefore I know not what I am missing. Kind of like doing drugs. I've never had the drug therefore I don't give a S**T Cuddling sounds nice though.. That's about as much interest as far as I go.. sorry rambling.

I couldn't care less about sports although all the sports memorabilia on my walls from my dad certainly gives that false impression. I show my emotions good or bad, feelings,etc. Never have drank,smoke, done drugs.

-I love kittens. I have a bunch on my farm and I spend loads of time cuddling with them.
-My thoughts on girls rarely go towards sex, in fact I'm sort of afraid of that. I would much prefer to simply cuddle on a couch watching a cheezy movie.
-I am very afraid of being hurt by people.
-I have never had a girlfriend.
---On this subject, I have been asked out by a few girls (being a musician), but I have always wanted to wait for the right one.
-I am skinny and weak. (6' 2" and only 130 pounds) I have also never worked out.
-I don't like sports aside from Curling. Although I used to play soccer really well too.
-The taste of Beer makes me feel sick.
-I don't know a thing about cars.
-I participate in Drama.
-I currently want to learn the violin. I think it can have such a beautiful sound.
-I love classical music.
-I would run away from any potential fight.
-I love reading fantasy novels, and spending loads of time imagining their worlds.

Needless to say I'm not a very manly person at all.
However I generally have the ability to "man-up" and admit it to the world

 

[TheLaofKazi]

I'm a pretty diverse person and tend to be interested in a lot of 'girly' and 'manly' things. For example, I'm wearing blue and pink nail polish right now, but also listening to this song:

 

[Smerf]

I've never had a girlfriend.

I've never had sex.

I cry when characters I like die in books and movies.

your on the internet, thats taken for granted, well maybe not the last part

 

[devotedsniper]

I hate sport, never been interested in any of it, i don't really drink alcohol (vodka and coke, wkd and such i like but things like beer and cider i hate), i like to cook for others (which i find odd, i blame having to cook for my housemate so much...he doesn't know how to cook anything that isn't out of a box lol).

 

[SplicedUp068]

I.....I do ballet.
I play saxophone.
I like being on stage.
I don't even have my learner license - and I don't really want it.
I can spend hours talking about classic literature and film.
I like Axis Powers Hetalia with a passion.
I also like Sailor Moon.
I like well done romances.
I cry at far too many unreal things - the latest one being Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami...again.

...
Thats about it.

Hold on... how is playing the saxophone unmanly?
Also, quick list

No girlfriend (ever)
Virgin (expected after first one)
Weak (my arms resemble two long threads hanging off of my shirt)
I avoid almost any form of conflict like a plague (that's why I don't usually comment on forums)
Despise sports with a passon... and cars... and jocks... and getting dirty or sweaty

That's all I can think of.

No surprise, the Escapist rallies to defend the OP and relate to his alternative interests and life choices.

Traditionally masculine traits, interests, and hobbies should be celebrated equally alongside other choices. Because let's be honest here, those who espouse traditional masculine characteristics do a lot of things that are necessary to allow the rest of us to act as we so choose.

 

[nbamaniac]

Some Japanese cartoon named CLANNAD actually made me teary-eyed..

>,<' Shame on mah balls.

 

[mysecondlife]

I like Sara Bareilles

Losing weight is in corner of my mind (I'm not fat, but I could shed 10 - 15 pounds)

 

[TheDudeMan14]

uhmm..
I'm really weak.
I love Pierce the Veil..
Don't know shit about cars.
Can't grow a beard, or a mustache.

 

[Grand_Arcana]

Should My Little Pony even be considered unmanly on the Escapist? Half you knuckleheads watch it, and even I'm becoming intrigued.

OT:
Never had a girlfriend, mostly because I'm deathly afraid of being a terrible boyfriend.

I'm not into sports (martial arts otoh. . .)

I've only been in two fights, and didn't win either of them.

It takes a long time for me to comb my hair (damn mini-afro).

I'm physically weak, though I don't look it.

I Love Cubchoo, omgitssocute!

Ahem, other than that, I'm good. I even have an admiration for sexy cars.

 

[Baneat]

I traded mine for a Wigglytuff

 

[Badong]

Well, bisexuality is generally considered unmanly by most, if not all cultures. Doesn't mean I let that get in the way of being manlier than most other people in my class.

 

[liquidsolid]

OP: Turn in your man card

I'm as manly as they come, I think most sports are girly and cars are just a way of "compensating"

I eat nails and kill coyotes with my bear hands (my hands are made out of bears)

 

[Kevlar Eater]

I hate sports.
I like My Little Pony: FiM. Speaking of that, my favorite character is Rarity, the most ladylike of the main ponies.
I like appletinis.
Nick Jr. shows are tolerable to my ears.
I have very little interest in cars.
I've never had a girlfriend (or a real friend in general).
I mainly listen to female-fronted metal.
I don't ever want to drink enough to get drunk (again).

 

[TheDudeMan14]

I don't need your approval or your stupid man cards.


Please someone get the reference.

Scrubs! Here you go noobie. *hands back one man card*

 

[WorldFree55]

I'm sensitive?

 

[superdelux]
