I think we can all agree that manly men can very well like cute animals.

After driving my sisters car every once in awhile for about 2 years now, I can sing along to pretty much all Rihanna and Brittany spears songs, and I'm not ashamed of it.

-I spend more money on tech than clothes. Along with this, I hate shopping for clothes.
-I hate chick TV shows like the Bachelorette or Fashion/Celebrity Gossip.
-I'm a gamer, which is still a dude thing.
-My magazine of choice is Game Informer and not some women's magazine. I can't even name one. Like... Cosmo? I think that's one.
-I listen to metal, which has a high male fan base, almost exclusively.
-I don't expect a man to support me and be my Prince Charming. I plan on earning my own income and having a career.
-I despise Twilight and cheesy romance flicks.
All of the above annnnnnd:

I play D&D, hate wearing skirts and heels, and does not tan or wear make up

None of them

Seriously, I don't identify with any male stereotypes and... I'm kinda happy about that.
Hell, I don't even look like a boy. Just a kinda boyish looking girl >.>

Well, I can't think of many gender things I go against (other than loving games and threatening to kick peoples asses often), but I do easily go against racial stereotypes. I'm German-Irish, but I hate all forms of alcohol. I do love potatoes though.

Oh, and I also hate mayonnaise.

Well, seeing as I pressed the button again, this is definitely true!

I don't drink alcohol period. Think it's vile. I enjoy shopping quite a bit, especially for sneakers. I can cook pretty well. I cry when I have to and in front of certain people.

Straight male, here.

I'm a guy, and certain songs make me cry.

...

O.K. certain punk rock songs, but still; tears of joy.

Edit: also I've been mistaken for a female, but thats kinda off-topic

First off, I'm a male.

-I tried for a few years to enjoy sports, but I can't fucking stand it anymore. Same with racing and all that.

-I'm a vegetarian.

-I love animals.

-I enjoy well made chick flicks, if that isn't too much of an oxymoron.

-I am starting to become interested in fashion (other people's, not mine for a few reasons).

-I suffer from a lot of self image issues that all of my female friends do. Not sure how much of a feminine thing this is though...

-Apparently I just act really feminine when I'm comfortable and being myself.

-I talk about emotions, hopes, dreams, ect.

-I am interested in men (and women too).

-I'm only dominant and "alpha" when I have to be.

-I find it hard to enjoy "hardcore" shit a lot of the time as of recently. I can't stand playing extremely violent videogames.

-I started using the word Kawaii...

I guess when you spend 90% of your time with chicks, some shit tends to rub off on you. I mean, there's still a ton of masculine aspects to me, but that's not really what this thread's about..

EDIT: Oh, and I cry a lot and get very emotional over trivial things.

I can't stand sports, cars or action movies. I have absolutely zero desire to be competitive. I like MLP:FiM.

I abhor soap operas.
I am entirely uninterested in gossip magazines (sad rags)
I hate shopping
I would rather play video games than go "dancing"

I despise the "I'm just a girl" use. For example recently a few friends and i were playing pool, one of their girlfriends decided that she should have extra turns and essentially flaut the rest of the rules as she was "just a girl".Why not try to learn how to play properly with those who have the patience to teach you rather than refuse to try?

I think the soap opera thing is more generational than anything else.


Let's see here
-I'm a male who doesn't watch sports, nor really give a damn about them
-I'm not a gearhead, nor do I care that you think my car is terrible.

Too many to list them all. Let's see..

- I absolute love cute things and animals.
- I am very interested in emotions.
- I love art and aesthetics.
- I don't care for cars or driving.
- I don't like action movies or violence in general (though when done with emotion and elegance, I absolute love it).
- I am a pacifist, detest the military, and hate real-life guns (but love them in games).
- I'm much more interested in social dynamics/human interaction, psychology, and how society works than engineering or hands-on work.

I don't give a crud about being manly. I'd much rather enjoy my life than pretending to be something I'm not.
Except for my lacking an interest in most things artistic - this is pretty much me. Added to that, it's not uncommon for me to tear up during books/movies/particularly-well-made-youtube-videos. And I don't care that people think I'm strange. I'm not ashamed :)

For example, I think Before Sunrise [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112471/] is an absolutely beautiful movie.
That movie ;_;. There is a sequel P.S.

Uhh, I dunno. I'm not very sociable and I have very little tact, which are normally my people's greatest skills. I actively watch live fighting game tournaments/play games which makes my family ridicule me (i.e. this is your LIFE?!). I live in my pajamas. I'm pretty low-key. I jokingly boast about bowel movements etc. I can be crude. I don't like sweets that much, so ice-cream can't console me. Had to do wedding photos recently, I was the only one who didn't cross their legs, oops. It didn't even occur to me.
Ooooh..... I'll have to get that :D.

As for ever being told "this is your LIFE?!", my answer's pretty simple: "Yes, it is."

And I heartily approve of living in pyjamas.

But isn't joking about bowel movements considered feminine? Or is that only my mom being weird (i.e. it's only a small one...).

EDIT: Just realized that ;_; is apparently a sad emoticon (yeah, my internet non-verbal skills are just as horrible as my RL ones :p). But how is that movie sad? Touching, sure. But I found it nothing but beautiful, not sad in any way.

Personally, I think it's less just gender, and more gender and age roles.
For example, as a 16 year old male, I:
-Am not interested in drugs, alcohol or smoking.
-Have never had a girlfriend. (For various reasons, but it'll happen someday! [sub][sub][sub]Maybe...[/sub][/sub][/sub]
-Don't have any gaming platform elitism. In my school there is a massive amount of it.
-I will, on occasion, read something (shock horror!)
-And last that I can think of, I don't hate my parents. I'm actually quite fond of them.

I think that when it comes to personality, I'm pretty much 50:50 when it comes to female and male "roles".

Aw, you sound adorable. A guy who enjoys books, obscure platforming games, and is actually interested in a long term relationship? And studying drama? I may be averse to marrying strange men that I meet on a gaming website, but I will friend you.

And yes, I have a feeling you would indeed be made my *****. ;P
I can live with being bitchified as long as I get a new book a week and a good quality hair drier...
Well, that post was very applicable to this thread. XD

But we should probably stop using this thread as a medium to converse about vaguely unrelated topics. 'Tis impolite to thread derail.
Very true. TOO PRIVATE MAIL!
