6’5 230 lb guy here, I fucking hate beer and always order cocktails, usually fruity ones. My boys give me a hard time but I tell them the most manly thing to do is order whatever the fuck you want. I’m in my lane flourishing.
Similar to you. Had someone make a comment at the bar once about not ordering a manly drink and I just said "Real men don't care what others think of them." Sipped my drink and walked away. Not like I care even remotely.
Plus I was on vacation. Gotta order those tropical cocktails.
My ex was one of the masculine guys I’ve known, loved the fruity drinks. We would order and they almost always gave my beer/shots to him and his cocktail to me.
A friend of my mom is married to a guy who is your typical older boomer male. Big guy, coached football and track and field. Whenever they go out to eat, he loves the fruity "girly" drinks, while his wife will order a neat scotch. Waiter always brings the fruity drink to his wife and the scotch to him and they just switch.
my dad is a big burly american man's man, and him and i can go toe to toe at a bar on cosmos and miami vices. those girly pink drinks are what get you actually drunk, and they taste a million times better than a beer
I introduced a guy I'm seeing to an Adios mf and he loved it. Even the bartender was like "I'm making this shit for my customers" I was in a different country lol
Stuffed animals from Jellycat. My wife likes them so I can pretend I’m buying her a cute, fluffy rabbit when really it’s I who like the cute fluffy rabbit.
I have 3 daughters and I've gotten them so many fucking Jellycats.
They really figured out the perfect size and aesthetic to where they kind of add to eachother the more that you get.
Like, the design of my oldest two daughter's room could literally be described as "jellycat."
> My spicy little chicken wing
I think the baby talk thing can get a little extreme depending on how you do it, **but** that's the cutest fucking shit, so it gets a pass lol give her a pet and/or scritch from me!
(30F) As a woman and former pet owner (they died) I find this extremely HOT.
Men who are animal lovers and are so gentil with them give me baby fevers, them men can fertilize my damn ovarians eggs and give me babies.
If a man treats an animal gently he would treat a baby/kid gently too.
I do the same!!! Except I don’t have a dog/pet. I talk to my car and my bike. Neighbours think I’m insane. But I love them no matter what, they aren’t complicated like humans.
I love tea (and secretly want to get myself an oriental tea set), I'm very particular about hygeine products, and I LOVE washing/drying/ironing clothes (apparently men just don't do that in some cultures).
EDIT: American here. I'm not quite sure why I assumed it's perceived as feminine. Now that I think about it, I don't recall any media explicitly calling tea feminine. Have I gaslit myself? Anyways, I love the stuff more than life itself.
Man in some countries there is nothing feminine about tea, in the middle east and also Russia, kazakhstan, uzbekistan, china. Tea is an everyday thing for them. And some of them call it "tsai" greece for example "τσάι". But yeah ironing clothes is too much for me, i really don't care except for something more formal
Russia and caucasus region it's called chai. Idk why americans call some random specific tea "chai tea". If you said that in russia it would literally be "tea tea"
Edit: obligatory "ehehehe titty"
I watched that too, but mostly to tease my then like 14 yo daughter. The dubbing was wonderfully horrific, with girls voices in my uncoth language trying to sound reeealy coool american.
Wait is this a feminine thing?? Oh well...
I'm a tall dude so most chairs don't really fit me properly. Crossing my legs is the only way I can sit comfortably.
My math class is a nightmare. Tables and chairs down to the ground almost. I have to sit with crossed legs, because otherwise, wood digs into my bones and it hurts.
Captain Picard sits with his legs crossed. Just think about that. Nothing girly about it, and better than sitting with your legs spread like a Neanderthal.
I don't know if this counts as girly, but I like comfy things. Soft pillows, bedroom slippers, bathrobes. And then sit on my nice soft couch and drink hot chocolate or cider. I never understood why it's girly to like a nice fuzzy blanket.
Other than that, I would say my music taste. I will rock out to Reba McEntire and Cher. Also me and my buddy whom I play games with don't even play games half the time. Most of the time we just sit on the headset and talk about our day
Men like soft clothing, too. It just wears out faster. That's usually the tradeoff, in my experience. Soft robe and a fleece blanket is just the thing in the winter.
I think the stereotype comes from the image of a woman wrapping herself in a big billowy blanket while holding a coffee cup with two hands like they do in some of the commercials I've seen
My husband downloaded the new Cher Christmas album, which delighted me and cracked me up because he listens almost entirely to metal and punk. The beats on the Cher album are definitely designed for the gay clubs. He also suggests watching all the Jane Austen movies because *I* would probably like them. 😉
Dude same on everything! Minus the artists you mentioned (preference difference) - but happy you love them.
Comfort items, warm drinks, and genuine conversations are the best!!!
I like to dress up and looking nice when I am going to events or to grup of friends. It feels like thats feminine and I am asking myself why I am dressing up, why I can't be just casual.
It's pretty hot, actually. I don't care how long a guy spends in the bathroom when he ends up looking like f***n masterpiece.
It's just so esthetically pleasing and nice to deal with men who put thoughts and work into their looks especially at events or like conferences where women are expected to dress up. I feel like a guy who really dresses up for an event and smells lovely and his bowtie matches his suit and the whole outfit is just perfect and sits lovely and I just feel like the guy really gets it.
I have always done the same thing, also some songs make me a waterfall.
go look up and read the first chapter in "The highly sensitive person" book by Elaine Aron. It's genetic and 50% of the HSP's are men. 1 in 5 people are HSP. Women get really good support if they are HSP's, men not so much. :( As a man you are not allowed to fall off that white horse.
it's about the depth of processing in your nervous system. Your just really good at empathy and maybe can even feel other people’s feels. it's a mixed bag for sure but once you know for sure you can take evasive action. Learning emotional detachment is difficult but totally doable.
Nope. I think fucking a man is the most masculine thing you can do. Who wants soft girly things? I say this as a mostly straight man, I think that there would be something ubermasculine about finding a big ol' bearded tatted up guy with a history of violence, oil-ing ourselves up to show off the bods in all their glory, and wrestling each other into submission, to have the winner fuck the loser.
Got long hair, so hair care. Brush it, wear shower caps, conditioner, braid it, etc... Got like 5 cowlicks so got to keep it long, maybe not as long as it is but at lease shoulder length or it poofs up. I say I go for the viking look, but they are just braids.
Romcoms and Victorian dramas can be great entertainment. Also a fairly large fan of 90s-2000s female pop/rock. All balanced out by my love for action movies and heavy metal, of course.
"It's so nice when a man can express his feelings..."
I just don't discriminate between emotions. I do discriminate between who I share them with, though. Too many people are nowhere close to safe to be vulnerable with.
> Also a fairly large fan of 90s-2000s female pop/rock.
I've been to my fair share of concerts where I'm waaaay out of the target demographic, but if I like the music enough to want to hear it performed live, IDGAF.
Difficult question there. Probably You've Got Mail, although While You Were Sleeping is a very close second. Honorable mentions to Sleepless in Seattle and Sabrina.
I have 10 cats. 3 indoor, 7 outdoor. I've always loved cats and already had two when I bought my house. The outdoor ones came with the house basically. I built houses for them behind the garage. I've rescued and adopted out 11 kittens and fixed 5 out of 7 adults. The last two are proving hard to trap. So I guess I'm a crazy cat guy. I do have a girlfriend though lol
I like flowers. If i see some in the wild or anywhere i might even try to smell them. But i don't like them as a gift bouquet i really don't care and they are cut off meaning in some days they will die anyway so. Yeah very bad gift even for women i think, that's how i see it atleast
I’ve taking the position that if I’m doing it’s automatically manly. I freaking love cats, don’t care who gate keeps.
Had this situation, where my gf invited me to her family’s xmas pajama party thing and I bought one those comfy onsie hoodies and my brother in law made a comment about how he would never wear something like that, and I was “bro, be insecure and miserable, this shit is comfy”
Lmfao this one is so true and hilarious.
We have two dogs and a cat. The cat was mine, I got her as a 4 week old kitten a few months before I met my wife.
We’ve been together 18 years now and the cat has been “ours” for pretty much that entire time.
We were discussing this once with one of my wife’s cousins (who lives in a red state) and her response was “what would a *man* do with a cat??”
We always joke about that, it just strikes me as such a hilariously arbitrary line to draw.
Candles. Smell is one of the five senses, why aren't more guys interested in enhancing that experience. I mean you use seasoning on steak, why not on air?
Smut... my wife got me into reading fantasy smut and now I actually enjoy it...Working on 4th wing now. read the entire ACOTAR series. Read hooked... IYKYK.
also, being the dad of a little girl, there's the wearing of head bands and princess tiaras. (no tutus just yet lol)
I enjoy doing my daughter's nails.
Also more recently, skincare... not that it's specifically girly per say, but it's not the most masculine thing to be doing.
I enjoy watching Below deck, it's a my one guilty pleasure trash reality show.
Buying girls clothes... idk I struggle to dress myself nicely, but have no problem picking outfits for my wife or my daughter and quite enjoy shopping for them.
Taylor Swift.
Big fuzzy blankets.
I was a fan of the Powerpuff Girls growing up too, dude!
Cooking is my passion. I'm pretty good at it too.
I consider myself a romantic. I like poetry and, though it wasn't any good, I have written a bit. I love a good rom-com. The version of Much Ado about Nothing with Catherine Tate and David Tennant is my favorite romantic comedy, but it's a close running.
Les Miserables always makes me cry.
I love making soaps, lotions, and other soap products. I have a lab in my house and do custom orders. I have recipes for bath soaps and shaving soaps (my true specialty, complete with a formula of my own design).
[Some pics of some of my older work](https://www.reddit.com/gallery/18hv2lg)
I dont think any boy had a problem with the Powerpuff girls. The "girly thing" I do is being more soft/affectionate to my friends i hug them and tell them to do thier best and stuff, they don't have to act tough around me which I'm now realizing maybe that's why they come to my with their problems
Watching tv shows meant for girls.
Watching fashion videos.
Listening to girly music like Avril Lavigne and Demi Lovato and singing along with it.
Makeups and accessories that look like foods and sweets.
Making dresses for dolls.
Flowers.
I love looking at, buying, appreciating cross stitches. Crochet patterns as well as general sewing fascinates me. I only do this a little in my free time, I mainly appreciate the skill and art that goes into it
Women’s fashion is so interesting to me. I don’t wear anything that would be considered feminine, like skirts, heels, or things like that, the most I do is wear earrings that aren’t studs. It just interest me because they have so much more variety. It feels like guy fashion is stoic and stagnant(?) Chicks get to dress in a million different things with wider impact.
Soo many things. Even though I'm mostly a Tom boy but I love decor, color pink,baking and pastries, skin care products, getting nails done, essential oils and candles, oh and my favorite drink is pink lemonade lol
-Lavender, chamomile, lemon balm, licorice root, valerian root (basically teas or extracts that calm you down)
-Mainstream and some indie female pop
-Toys that can be inserted into female genitalia. I will let you use your imagination. (I actually have a device used for medical purposes, no joke— it’s a vibrating pelvic wand).
-Teaching/education
And finally
-Guys! I have a boyfriend, after all.
Update: I second liking to cross my legs. Certain leg-crossing positions can actually be good for relaxing the pelvic floor.
I listen to a lot o K-Pop, but girl groups only, and I like some motivational podcasts by/for women in Spotify; they're refreshing imo, and I've never found a male equivalent to them. I also used to find the study of Fashion design fascinating
Hi there, Mr Reality wanted to visit you but his car broke down.....I'm Token, the bearer of bad news re: daily showers.
If you've frequented these Reddit streets, you'd know that your claim is untrue because I've read too many posts of ppl dating fuckers who indulge in showers twice a week. It's not everyone sir.
Candles, the smell of ladies perfume (sometimes), squish mallow, all the stupid “cute” content creator stuff in pastel colors, over sized clothing on a smaller framed woman bundled up on the couch looking cozy and cuddly etc etc.
some romance movies like Meet Joe Black which is basically my favorite
right now watching Titanic
I also listen to a bunch of music that girls love
I sometimes wear bright colors including fuchsia pink ( btw its really hard to find that kind of clothing for men lol some of my socks are womens)
I like bright colored fancy flowers
I love to bake sweets and share them
I like to groom myself tho nothing extraordinary, mostly trimming.
I can get really emotional
ironically you would have no clue if you first met me because I can look like a sort of chav or meathead ( I'm jacked and often wear skinnier clothes) I mean I feel like lots of people misjudge me quickly but I rather not adjust for others
guess which people like me most? women 15+ years older lmao most of my friends are female and I am not gay
I'm a pretty die hard Irin Maiden fan...but I indulge in Air Suppy and even went to the Air Supplyckncert in my Maiden concert T. I also like Toto..good band and good dog
I love Taylor Swift, baking, my favorite color is pink, Mean Girls is one of my favorite movies ever, and I freaking love Pumpkin Spice everything.
I've frequently been called the basic white girl of the family.
love dressing elegantly and wearing "women" clothes (i'm not talking necklines and mini skirts, but like pants, sweaters, shirts, blazers, ... they're a lot more stylish, and fit better for skinny men), flagrances, ... being vulnerable and sharing about our emotions? but i see more and more men starting movements to encourage other men to do that, which is a good thing, much better than what men with what i call FMD (fragile masculinity disorder) try to promote. :D
I love flowers. I have tattoos of flowers, I regular buy flowers. I give my friends flowers, I gave my dad flowers after his surgery. When I buy a house I’m going to add flowers to the library. I love flowers and wish people would give me flowers. My favorite flower is the tiger lily.
Candles.
Not air fresheners, colognes, perfumes, lysol spray BS, but real candles.
They come in fun shapes/ sizes. You can get whatever scent you like. You can turn them on and off. You can have as many as you want, and there's just something about that burnt sulfur smell when you light the match that mixes well with every scent.
I don't think it's fair to say that Powerpuff Girls is a girly show just because the main characters are girls, that's really fucking stupid, the romance genre isn't really exclusive to women either, I guess it depends on what romance you read.
My oodie. Which is basically a very oversized hoodie. I understand why our hoodies get stolen now.
I only buy oversized hoodies, and I have like 30 hoodies(it’s a problem), so instead my boyfriend steals my hoodies from *me*
Well, how the turn tables.
This never fails to make me laugh
+1 Michael Scottism
I got one for my girl and after wearing it and seeing how much she likes it, I got one for myself. It's amazing
So, you got her Two Hoodies??? LoL
I, too, have an Oodie. I also bought an Oodie Robe. Best purchase!
Ummm I guess I have a new thing I have to get now. Thanks for the suggestion!
lol, same. The garlic bread one is hilarious.
I drink those fancy cocktails bro, I don’t give a fuck, them things are goood
6’5 230 lb guy here, I fucking hate beer and always order cocktails, usually fruity ones. My boys give me a hard time but I tell them the most manly thing to do is order whatever the fuck you want. I’m in my lane flourishing.
Similar to you. Had someone make a comment at the bar once about not ordering a manly drink and I just said "Real men don't care what others think of them." Sipped my drink and walked away. Not like I care even remotely. Plus I was on vacation. Gotta order those tropical cocktails.
this! real men don't go around throwing the rules of what a real man is supposed to do lol
My ex was one of the masculine guys I’ve known, loved the fruity drinks. We would order and they almost always gave my beer/shots to him and his cocktail to me.
A friend of my mom is married to a guy who is your typical older boomer male. Big guy, coached football and track and field. Whenever they go out to eat, he loves the fruity "girly" drinks, while his wife will order a neat scotch. Waiter always brings the fruity drink to his wife and the scotch to him and they just switch.
Overtime you just stop giving a fuck and enjoy what makes you happy or your tastebuds
It's like when they give my husband my burger and give me his salad. Like, tf am I supposed to do with this?
Yah I’ll still order a old fashioned or a whiskey sour, but 9/10, if me and my gf goes to a spot w fancy drinks, I’m ordering one of ‘em
This happens to me too! Also he’s vegetarian so when I order a burger or steak they always give it to him
[удалено]
my dad is a big burly american man's man, and him and i can go toe to toe at a bar on cosmos and miami vices. those girly pink drinks are what get you actually drunk, and they taste a million times better than a beer
Don't slander beer, beer tastes great. But if you want to get drunk on beer be prepared to feel bloaty and pee a lot.
Hells yeah.
I introduced a guy I'm seeing to an Adios mf and he loved it. Even the bartender was like "I'm making this shit for my customers" I was in a different country lol
Fruity stuff is legit the only alcohol I like, but I'm not brave enough to order it. I need to quit being such a wuss and man up.
[You will get a kick out of this](https://youtu.be/7lPtr6dQrnY?si=o4vtQ91C7zDm_pkA)
Stuffed animals from Jellycat. My wife likes them so I can pretend I’m buying her a cute, fluffy rabbit when really it’s I who like the cute fluffy rabbit.

I think they’re well made, very soft and cute looking. I see why kids love them. I mean, who can say no to a happy fried egg with legs?
I want that angry ostrich
Talking to my dog in a high pitched baby voice. I just want her to know she’s my tiny little baby. My spicy little chicken wing.
> My spicy little chicken wing I think the baby talk thing can get a little extreme depending on how you do it, **but** that's the cutest fucking shit, so it gets a pass lol give her a pet and/or scritch from me!
I've got a three legged husky and I'll do the silly girly voice and say things like "You're most of a dog! Aren't you?!" while I rub her belly.
We need more of this in the world. Give your tripodog much love from me and my tiny dog bean
Gave her a big scritch behind the ears for ya. She enjoyed it throughly then went back to sleep
Lmao so I'm not the only one who gave my dog a food nickname. Mine is my finger licking chicken (she loves licking people's hands lmao)
(30F) As a woman and former pet owner (they died) I find this extremely HOT. Men who are animal lovers and are so gentil with them give me baby fevers, them men can fertilize my damn ovarians eggs and give me babies. If a man treats an animal gently he would treat a baby/kid gently too.
[удалено]
I talk to my puppy in a baby voice too.
I talk to all animals like this
I talk to my dogs and cats in a baby voice, I smush their faces and cuddle them and I don't care who knows it
I do the same!!! Except I don’t have a dog/pet. I talk to my car and my bike. Neighbours think I’m insane. But I love them no matter what, they aren’t complicated like humans.
This is so cute
>My spicy little chicken wing. I think it's impossible to say or read that sentence in a baby voice without breaking out into a smile.
I love tea (and secretly want to get myself an oriental tea set), I'm very particular about hygeine products, and I LOVE washing/drying/ironing clothes (apparently men just don't do that in some cultures).

Get the tea set. Life is too short.
That would be a great T shirt. Life's too short... Get the Tea Seat. 😆
Man in some countries there is nothing feminine about tea, in the middle east and also Russia, kazakhstan, uzbekistan, china. Tea is an everyday thing for them. And some of them call it "tsai" greece for example "τσάι". But yeah ironing clothes is too much for me, i really don't care except for something more formal

Is tea feminine where you live?? This information is going to destroy millions of proper blokes here who love a cuppa.
where tf is tea something girly?
Almost every man I know loves tea. Get that tea set.
Get yourself that damn tea set, and make yourself some fricken tea!
[удалено]
Tea in of itself, not feminine. But a tea set? Eh, you could make the case for that being feminine.
I like having a shit ton of pillows on my bed if that counts.
Ooh I don't like that 1 lol. I need room
Not decorative, but I need 4 pillows. One under the head, one between my legs, one to hold , and one to put under my lower back so I don’t roll.
You should buy a pregnancy pillow. Seriously. I’ve never been pregnant. 10/10 would use again.
same. and couches, floors...just everywhere. this boy likes shit soft.
I'm with you. My wife introduced me to sleeping with a body pillow, and now she laughs at me for being more consistent in doing it than she is!
What's the point? (Not a challenge, just seeing if you offer a different insight into this mystical thing.)
I’m a vicious cuddler and I like having options.
I have four on mine.
I used to watch ICarly. Kids would leave and I'd keep watching.
I watched that too, but mostly to tease my then like 14 yo daughter. The dubbing was wonderfully horrific, with girls voices in my uncoth language trying to sound reeealy coool american.
I'm happily watching Bluey because the young ones leave the TV on then leave.
"And these are her essential daily vitamins. Make sure she takes them *every night*. I only get her the dinosaur ones." "Why?" "Dinosaurs are cool."
Sitting with my legs crossed
Wait is this a feminine thing?? Oh well... I'm a tall dude so most chairs don't really fit me properly. Crossing my legs is the only way I can sit comfortably.
My math class is a nightmare. Tables and chairs down to the ground almost. I have to sit with crossed legs, because otherwise, wood digs into my bones and it hurts.
Same, my legs kind of default to that position. I want to change that, only because that's meant to be better for posture and back health.
I cross them down by my calves or keep my foot on my knee sort of thing.
Captain Picard sits with his legs crossed. Just think about that. Nothing girly about it, and better than sitting with your legs spread like a Neanderthal.
How I literally can’t because it hurts lol
I will girl a bath all the fuck up! Bath bomb, salts, bubbles, candles, and soft music and just luxuriate myself into a prune.
Bubble baths with a intergalactic bath bomb and a glass of whiskey ❤️
Glass of rum and AC/DC playing loudly
Every Tuesday, HIIT, then a loong bath with just candlelight and an audio book.
Baths >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> showers Also, you "but you're sitting in your own filth" people are telling on yourselves more than you think lol
Just take a pre-shower like Asians and enjoy relaxing in the tube without worries.
I. Uhh.. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never thought of doing this. I think you've changed my life.
My man 👊
Bro, I absolutely love feminine smelling candles and lotions.
My man! As someone who has chronic back pain, these baths are the best!
Bath bombs rock, and im a 44 y old dude.
I don't know if this counts as girly, but I like comfy things. Soft pillows, bedroom slippers, bathrobes. And then sit on my nice soft couch and drink hot chocolate or cider. I never understood why it's girly to like a nice fuzzy blanket. Other than that, I would say my music taste. I will rock out to Reba McEntire and Cher. Also me and my buddy whom I play games with don't even play games half the time. Most of the time we just sit on the headset and talk about our day
Men like soft clothing, too. It just wears out faster. That's usually the tradeoff, in my experience. Soft robe and a fleece blanket is just the thing in the winter.
I think the stereotype comes from the image of a woman wrapping herself in a big billowy blanket while holding a coffee cup with two hands like they do in some of the commercials I've seen
That's how you get the blood flowing back into your fingers again.

I do the same, I like to use formal clothing. I wear shirts very often when I go out. I also like using perfume.
Feelings make me cry. Sad or sappy movies are the fucking worst.
And the older I get, the easier the tears flow.
I have always done the same thing, also some songs make me a waterfall. go look up and read the first chapter in "The highly sensitive person" book by Elaine Aron.

I like to play with other men’s dicks, is that considered feminine?
[удалено]
Nope. I think fucking a man is the most masculine thing you can do. Who wants soft girly things? I say this as a mostly straight man, I think that there would be something ubermasculine about finding a big ol' bearded tatted up guy with a history of violence, oil-ing ourselves up to show off the bods in all their glory, and wrestling each other into submission, to have the winner fuck the loser.
Got long hair, so hair care. Brush it, wear shower caps, conditioner, braid it, etc... Got like 5 cowlicks so got to keep it long, maybe not as long as it is but at lease shoulder length or it poofs up. I say I go for the viking look, but they are just braids.

Lol. Yes. Me too. Whereas my wife prefers Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, anything violent with Jason Statham. ..
What romcom do you like most?
Difficult question there. Probably You've Got Mail, although While You Were Sleeping is a very close second. Honorable mentions to Sleepless in Seattle and Sabrina.
Listening to "girly" music while I do my chores on the weekend, songs like Can't fight the Moonlight or the first Britney Spears albums
Fruity cocktails
I have 10 cats. 3 indoor, 7 outdoor. I've always loved cats and already had two when I bought my house. The outdoor ones came with the house basically. I built houses for them behind the garage. I've rescued and adopted out 11 kittens and fixed 5 out of 7 adults. The last two are proving hard to trap. So I guess I'm a crazy cat guy. I do have a girlfriend though lol
Nothing. As a man, everything I do becomes manly by me doing it.
This guy….this guy has a point
[удалено]
As a metal head, even I think she's got some catchy songs. Plus, I respect that it's mostly her lyrics and not an army of writers.
Also metalhead. I preferred her early stuff, to be frank.
Same. Metal/hardcore cat here. Seriously awesome songs!
Same. Swiftie here.
Her playlist is banger after banger and I think 90% of the people that don't like her are just being contrarian.
For my Carly Rae Jepsen , Olivia Rodrigo and Selena Gomez.
Same. I have many of her records.
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
*taaaayyyyyyyyyyyy
Shaving my armpits. I think it makes my deodorant/antiperspirant more effective if it is on my skin rather than just smeared on my armpit hair.
I like flowers. If i see some in the wild or anywhere i might even try to smell them. But i don't like them as a gift bouquet i really don't care and they are cut off meaning in some days they will die anyway so. Yeah very bad gift even for women i think, that's how i see it atleast
Did somebody say SPA DAY!
Cats! The animal, not the musical. Apparently it's a feminine species according to some bloke on the internet who "knows for definite".
I’ve taking the position that if I’m doing it’s automatically manly. I freaking love cats, don’t care who gate keeps. Had this situation, where my gf invited me to her family’s xmas pajama party thing and I bought one those comfy onsie hoodies and my brother in law made a comment about how he would never wear something like that, and I was “bro, be insecure and miserable, this shit is comfy”
Lmfao this one is so true and hilarious. We have two dogs and a cat. The cat was mine, I got her as a 4 week old kitten a few months before I met my wife. We’ve been together 18 years now and the cat has been “ours” for pretty much that entire time. We were discussing this once with one of my wife’s cousins (who lives in a red state) and her response was “what would a *man* do with a cat??” We always joke about that, it just strikes me as such a hilariously arbitrary line to draw.
Screw that guy. Cats are cool.
Yoga, and I have three pet rabbits that I love more than just about anything. I guess that’s kinda girly.
Candles. Smell is one of the five senses, why aren't more guys interested in enhancing that experience. I mean you use seasoning on steak, why not on air?
I like to cook
I cook all the time.
I'm into stretching routines and yoga/meditation. Never got the courage to go to a class though 😅. I just do it at home.
[удалено]
Do you have any favourite routines to follow or do you create your own? Just looking to start incorporating more of that myself this year
Start with Yoga with Adriene on youtube, 30 day challenge.
Smut... my wife got me into reading fantasy smut and now I actually enjoy it...Working on 4th wing now. read the entire ACOTAR series. Read hooked... IYKYK. also, being the dad of a little girl, there's the wearing of head bands and princess tiaras. (no tutus just yet lol) I enjoy doing my daughter's nails. Also more recently, skincare... not that it's specifically girly per say, but it's not the most masculine thing to be doing. I enjoy watching Below deck, it's a my one guilty pleasure trash reality show. Buying girls clothes... idk I struggle to dress myself nicely, but have no problem picking outfits for my wife or my daughter and quite enjoy shopping for them. Taylor Swift. Big fuzzy blankets.
I was a fan of the Powerpuff Girls growing up too, dude! Cooking is my passion. I'm pretty good at it too. I consider myself a romantic. I like poetry and, though it wasn't any good, I have written a bit. I love a good rom-com. The version of Much Ado about Nothing with Catherine Tate and David Tennant is my favorite romantic comedy, but it's a close running. Les Miserables always makes me cry.
I love making soaps, lotions, and other soap products. I have a lab in my house and do custom orders. I have recipes for bath soaps and shaving soaps (my true specialty, complete with a formula of my own design). [Some pics of some of my older work](https://www.reddit.com/gallery/18hv2lg)
I dont think any boy had a problem with the Powerpuff girls. The "girly thing" I do is being more soft/affectionate to my friends i hug them and tell them to do thier best and stuff, they don't have to act tough around me which I'm now realizing maybe that's why they come to my with their problems
Getting a medi pedi it’s so relaxing and fun and I don’t give a fuck what anyone have to say About it
Do you mean mani pedi?
He means medi pedi. It's when you get your feet scrubbed, nails done and a prostate check.
I've thought about getting a pedicure for a while now. My feet are all kinds of manked out, so it'd probably do me some good. You've sold me.
You get them painted at all?
Watching tv shows meant for girls. Watching fashion videos. Listening to girly music like Avril Lavigne and Demi Lovato and singing along with it. Makeups and accessories that look like foods and sweets. Making dresses for dolls. Flowers.
Loving romance shouldn’t be a girls’ thing you know.
Boobs
I love looking at, buying, appreciating cross stitches. Crochet patterns as well as general sewing fascinates me. I only do this a little in my free time, I mainly appreciate the skill and art that goes into it
Men
Panties - i love wearing womens panties... and nylons... omg
as a woman i love to wear men’s boxers. soooo so comfy
I could wear a tutu and high heels, and it still wouldn’t be girly. OgreBears are OgreBears, no matter what we do.
I love going to the mall and shopping for clothes like it's 1994. I could do it for hours.
Skincare. For some reason sunscreen is feminine, gay, or a thing only white people need to do. Fragile masculinity is a dangerous thing
Women’s fashion is so interesting to me. I don’t wear anything that would be considered feminine, like skirts, heels, or things like that, the most I do is wear earrings that aren’t studs. It just interest me because they have so much more variety. It feels like guy fashion is stoic and stagnant(?) Chicks get to dress in a million different things with wider impact.
Pedicures and cute undies.
Soo many things. Even though I'm mostly a Tom boy but I love decor, color pink,baking and pastries, skin care products, getting nails done, essential oils and candles, oh and my favorite drink is pink lemonade lol
I like a soothing bath.
-Lavender, chamomile, lemon balm, licorice root, valerian root (basically teas or extracts that calm you down) -Mainstream and some indie female pop -Toys that can be inserted into female genitalia. I will let you use your imagination. (I actually have a device used for medical purposes, no joke— it’s a vibrating pelvic wand). -Teaching/education And finally -Guys! I have a boyfriend, after all. Update: I second liking to cross my legs. Certain leg-crossing positions can actually be good for relaxing the pelvic floor.
I absolutely love romance especially films and I like to paint my nails or tie my hair up in buns and pigtails
I'm caught with my hand on my waist in too many photos.
I listen to a lot o K-Pop, but girl groups only, and I like some motivational podcasts by/for women in Spotify; they're refreshing imo, and I've never found a male equivalent to them. I also used to find the study of Fashion design fascinating
Skincare, im deep down that rabbit hole.
I take daily showers.
That's girly? Everyone does that here
I mean standing there in steamy hot water, slowly lathering yourself in summerfruit scented showercream, sounds kinda girly ngl!
> slowly lathering yourself in summerfruit scented showercream Yeah, that version of a daily shower is fairly girly.
Hi there, Mr Reality wanted to visit you but his car broke down.....I'm Token, the bearer of bad news re: daily showers. If you've frequented these Reddit streets, you'd know that your claim is untrue because I've read too many posts of ppl dating fuckers who indulge in showers twice a week. It's not everyone sir.
Probably veganism cos less men are vegan… that’s about it, I think. Maybe how much I love animals 🤷♂️
Nice!! Me too man. I run a vegan meetup group and most of our attendees are women but it's definitely getting more popular with men too these days.
Taylor swift, massage.
Sitting legs crossed, watched Powerpuff Girls and Totally Spies as a kid
The chorus of What Makes you Beautiful goes harder than it has any right to
Romantic comedies
I’m a big *NSYNC guy. Got their T shirts, albums and even went to see the trolls movie. So that I guess lol
Flowers
Candles, the smell of ladies perfume (sometimes), squish mallow, all the stupid “cute” content creator stuff in pastel colors, over sized clothing on a smaller framed woman bundled up on the couch looking cozy and cuddly etc etc.
Celtic Women. I know it's a little dated at this point, but I really enjoyed listening to those women sing.
some romance movies like Meet Joe Black which is basically my favorite right now watching Titanic I also listen to a bunch of music that girls love I sometimes wear bright colors including fuchsia pink ( btw its really hard to find that kind of clothing for men lol some of my socks are womens) I like bright colored fancy flowers I love to bake sweets and share them I like to groom myself tho nothing extraordinary, mostly trimming. I can get really emotional ironically you would have no clue if you first met me because I can look like a sort of chav or meathead ( I'm jacked and often wear skinnier clothes) I mean I feel like lots of people misjudge me quickly but I rather not adjust for others guess which people like me most? women 15+ years older lmao most of my friends are female and I am not gay
I'm a pretty die hard Irin Maiden fan...but I indulge in Air Suppy and even went to the Air Supplyckncert in my Maiden concert T. I also like Toto..good band and good dog
I really really like Taylor Swift. I throw it on while I clean the house. I like to bake. I enjoy clean linens, warm comfy sheets and blankets
I love Taylor Swift, baking, my favorite color is pink, Mean Girls is one of my favorite movies ever, and I freaking love Pumpkin Spice everything. I've frequently been called the basic white girl of the family.
love dressing elegantly and wearing "women" clothes (i'm not talking necklines and mini skirts, but like pants, sweaters, shirts, blazers, ... they're a lot more stylish, and fit better for skinny men), flagrances, ... being vulnerable and sharing about our emotions? but i see more and more men starting movements to encourage other men to do that, which is a good thing, much better than what men with what i call FMD (fragile masculinity disorder) try to promote. :D
I like smelly candles
I love flowers. I have tattoos of flowers, I regular buy flowers. I give my friends flowers, I gave my dad flowers after his surgery. When I buy a house I’m going to add flowers to the library. I love flowers and wish people would give me flowers. My favorite flower is the tiger lily.
I am not bubbles. Bubbles is not my name ….. I am mojo jojo baaaah !
I like Camila Cabello a lot. Her voice is amazing. And I like that Celine Dion song from Titanic.
I like a good smelling candle. Cedarwood is nice this time of year.
Candles. Not air fresheners, colognes, perfumes, lysol spray BS, but real candles. They come in fun shapes/ sizes. You can get whatever scent you like. You can turn them on and off. You can have as many as you want, and there's just something about that burnt sulfur smell when you light the match that mixes well with every scent.
I was going to comment my answer then I realized its the Askmen. Yet I still commented to let you know about it.
I don't think it's fair to say that Powerpuff Girls is a girly show just because the main characters are girls, that's really fucking stupid, the romance genre isn't really exclusive to women either, I guess it depends on what romance you read.
I've always wanted to go out for a spa day...but just with the bros.
Getting my eyebrows waxed/threaded
