On paper, I sound pretty masculine. I do a martial art, I frequently work out, I have dabbled in free-running, and frequently find myself covered in cuts, bruises, scars, etc. I worry about not earning as much money as my girlfriend, I eat twice as much as the average person, I feel ashamed and weak if I cry, I'm super-competitive, and I can be quite the cocky dickhead if the situation calls for it. I even pick up spiders with my god-damned hands.

But then:

I've got a puppy-face, a slim womanly build, love to cook, like to clean, I'm useless in any sort of 'handy' job, I used to practise yoga, I love high-pitched male singers, I like a more 'effeminate' style of dress even if I don't subscribe to it, I have twice as much jewellery than your mother will have, I want to be able to cry without feeling ashamed, I hate my own body hair and regularly pluck and shave it off, I like poetry, I've enjoyed musicals, I develop man-crushes, and I love to sing in a horrible imitation of aforementioned high-pitched male singers. Also, clumsy puppies make me melt.

I don't masturbate.
I don't like leading.
I hate sports.
I hate using violence except in self defense.
I like some cute things.
I am pretty emotional but since I have entered secondary school I have gotten a harder shell.
I don't like cars.
I could never cheat on a girlfriend or boyfriend.
I'm not strong.
I hate the idea of being sexually assaulted by anyone (some people say i'm meant to like it of an attractive woman sexually assualts me.)

I'm sure there are more I hate gender roles and want them to go die so people can do what they want with their life.

You call them girl mates, is that even a thing?
Yes. They are girls and they are my mates. I grew up in Australia - hence, mates. Girl mates. I should also mention I love watching the Brisbane Broncos play (thoroughly sad to see Lockyer go. Man's a damn legend).

Before you read any of this, I'm going to say I'm a straight male.
Let's see...
I fail to see the relevance of an army and wars in the 21st century. Yeah, I know there will always be wars, but I'd like to think we could evolve past that if we wanted to.
I'm not a gun nut.
I'm not a patriot to my country or any other, in fact I don't really care about such things.
I'm into art, more specifically films(not just limited a certain genre as is the case for most people apparently, literally any genre will do as long as the films interesting) and photography(both looking at works from others and taking some shots of my own).
Not interested in sports.
I find cure animals cute.
I'd rather use my brains than my fists(and I generally do... and don't think I'm a scrawny fella, I'm actually built rather well, I just detest violence).
I like having intelligent conversations.
I do put SOME effort in how I look.
Most of the good friends I have are in fact of the opposite gender(it is my impression that the stereotypical "manly" man only wants women for sex, and nothing else... correct me if I am mistaken here)
Not a loudmouth extravert.
I think.
I'm not a complete retard.
I like pudding.
I drink wine, cider and various spirits in addition to beer, as opposed to drinking just beer exclusively.
I smoke cigarettes I hand-roll myself, as opposed to smoking the absolute rubbish they sell in packs. In addition to that, my tobacco is flavoured and so are my papers. And the filters are slim ones and have menthol.
I don't have a drivers license (though that's not because I don't want one but rather because I'd rather spend my money on photographic equipment than a drivers license right now).
I don't want a normal life (9 to 5 dead-end job, wife, kids, settle down at a really dull area, et cetera), I want to see the world, and I don't want to be tied down by anything or anyone, and I wont allow anything or anyone do that to me.

So yeah, not exactly the posterboy for manliness.

I have very little interest in football, and I read the instructions for flatpacked furniture. Oh, and I'm shit at cooking on a barbecue.

That's pretty much it.

Same goes for me. Also, I wear women's clothing and nail polish. I don't think men do that, usually.

(Is a girl)

I rarely wear make-up
I refuse to wear skirts and dresses unless I really have to
I have no interest in fashion
I despise soap operas and movies/books about romance
I play video game, including the occasional racing or FPS game
I got a buzz cut partly for shits and giggles, partly because it's easy to maintain and I think it looks nice :3
I read Batman and Deadpool comics
Starting this fall I'm going to study programming.

I'm not a very girly girl but I don't really care. I'm happy the way I am.

I'm female
-I'm much more likely to be holding a pint than a glass of wine
-I love building things and playing with power tools
-I'm a massive geek (which still seems to be quite man dominated)
-I dislike shopping especially when it's with other people
-I have a filty mind, most of the time even worse than my male friends
-I hate the idea of going to the bathroom with other people!
-I burp better than the vast majority of my male friends
-I don't mind the way I look (which seems to be odd for a lot of girls)
there's probably more, but I can't think of them at the moment.
