OT: I.. read romantic fan fiction. Some of it is touching, okay!?
The dancing involves smooth arm flailing and pirouettes, and the music is normally only inside my head.alinos said:really depends what dancing your doing and what your dancing toJonluw said:
but then i consider air guitaring around the house dancing
[small]Or Josh Groban, I sometimes dance to that...[/small]
I'm 19 and own multiple airsoft guns, a few swords, and listen to metal...
I'm also a really good cook (worked as a line chef at a 4-star restaurant when I was 16), listen to J-Pop quite a bit, enjoy a nice cup of tea when I read, and own some shojo manga.
I also dislike most "manly" athletic activities. I'd prefer a game of golf over almost any other sport.

-I'm empathic and like to explore my emotions very deeply with others.
-I also enjoy the occasional romantic comedy, and prefer emotionally-engaging movies over action flicks.
-My female friends let me in on the gossip that usually only makes the rounds with their other female friends.
-I have no problem whatsoever keeping up with a conversation between several females at once, which usually leads to me being treated as one of the girls.
-I prefer cocktails over straight liquor (well... depending on my state of mind).
-Sex bores me to tears. All of my partners have a great time, but it's all I can do not to sigh.
-I used to frequently say "I dunno, whatever you want to do" before I started getting out of the house and setting preferences on activities that weren't videogames. Not just un-manly, that's straight-up womanly (I eagerly await the outraged replies from the Escapist's designated feminists). I no longer do it, but I'll still count it.
-Designated crying shoulder for male and female friends alike, even if comforting a male friend always strikes me as a bit odd. Might not qualify, on account of largely being regarded as a father figure by my friends.
-I love to use body wash when I shower, because it makes me smell fantastic. Sure, it's marketed as being more masculine than the stuff women have been using long before Old Spice made a shower gel, but it's still scented soap.
-I'll audibly "awwwww" whenever I see a suitably adorable animal.
-I'm not competitive; I'd rather be a cog in a machine that digs trenches than out there by myself with a shovel.
-I love Robot Unicorn Attack without a trace of irony. That's gotta count against me.
-Speaking of which, back in elementary school, I thought the Lisa Frank folders were pretty.
After reading all that, your head is likely to explode when you hear the following, stated truthfully: I'm sexually attracted to women and nothing else*.
*I'll jokingly make an exception for Tim Curry. And seriously make an exception for Serj Tankian.

...this thread has caused me to re-evaluate myself.
Ahh, This one [http://www.squishable.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=squishable&Product_Code=squish_bunny_15] is sitting in my lap right now. Soo cute, worth every cent :3Enemy Of The State said:
If you could imagine my big brothers face when he asked what I needed his credit card for. He didn't see it coming.
I take baths all the time. I can't take a hot shower without it becoming a bath. And bubbles are awesome.SmartIdiot said:
I use lotion, but only about every other week when I'm about to cut off my skin to stop the itching. Candles are nice too, sometimes, but I only light them if I can really smell something terrible that is impossible to get rid of.
Are you talking Fanboy and Chum-chum levels of lame, or just anything-on-Cartoon Network lame?awesomeemosewa said:
I take the pill, don't want to get pregnant
Whenever I encounter a cat I switch to "Awwwww, kitty!" mode.
I regularly bake things like bread and people seem to love my chocolate cake, but seeing as world's best cooks are men that's not un-manly. Then again I'd prefer to wear an apron while baking...
Sports is something I really loathe to watch, I admit to it though.
And Cruel Intentions is one of my favourite films, guess that's not really that manly.
