Well,
-I don't give a molested donkey about sports.
-Don't care much about cars, but I do drive a pickup.
-Watched Powerpuff girls (idk the name it was in Spanish) when younger.
-I can't bring myself to call a girl a ***** in any context, which is something popular...
-Cried during toy story 3 and the first pokemon...
-I like eating baked food I cook
-I lose respect for people who smoke, and are proud of it..
Yeah that's about it

Allrighty...
I'm an avid fan of My Little Pony, but that hardly counts as 'feminine' anymore.
Furthermore, I also like H20 and Nanoha.
I have a strange interest in jewelry. In particular, I wear a silver key hung by a golden string around my neck, daily.
I appreciate a good story, and can get REALLY into it. Just reciently I felt like crying when....I'm not sure how to do the spoiler thing, so....SPOILER TAG, Keil sacrifices himself for the sake of Stoke and Rosch.
Speaking of crying....I cry. Usually not from physical pain, just emotional pain. I've also found myself crying when I'm angry as opposed to sad.
I acctually took a test that measured how left-brain/right-brained I am. I found that I was 1% off center. (And that one percent? The feminine side.)
I have been told repeatedly that I 'think femininely'. Personally, I felt I was more androgynous-minded.
Finally, I've wanted to grow my hair out long for the past year now. My Mom won't let me. >> But I DID just turn 18....

Sorry, but I'm a man because I don't care if other people think my habits unmanly. You can't de-manify me.
This. The differences are that I have never seen sailor moon (though I have nothing against it), I don't care about having sex unless my (hypothetical) partner desires it, and I actually am competitive (though it is an aspect of myself I would like to weaken).SleepingDragon said:
EDIT:
He's right, our likes and habits don't make us unmanly so long as we are proud of them.FalloutJack said:
Some of that stuff applies to me as well.
I dislike sports.
My only interest in cars is concerning whether or not mine is in suitable condition for transport.
I haven't had a girlfriend
drinking is wholly unappealing to me.
and I tend to shy away from competition.
other things:
I enjoy MLP.
I cannot grow facial hair (though not for lack of trying or desire)
I sometimes obsess over my looks.
I am physically weak.

My manliness is defined by the fact that I have a penis and a Y-chromosome. Anything else is strictly arbitrary.
What's up with all the My Little Pony stuff in this thread? I thought we were listing things that made you less manly.
Anyways...
- I don't give a flying fuck about sports or cars.
- I'm a vegetarian. No idea what that has to do with manliness myself, but most people on the internet insult my masculinity whenever I mention that I don't worship bacon.
- I hit on guys all the time. I'm not gay, I just like watching them squirm.
- Partially because of the previous entry, I'm perfectly fine with other people saying that I'm not a masculine manly man and will readily agree with them.

I probably wouldn't count as a man around here either. Even my girlfriend says I'm not really manly, but she prefers it that way, so I guess it's OK.
Some examples:
Again, the not-liking-sports thing. She's a bigger football (proper football, not handegg, which is sometimes called football) fan than I am, which - admittedly - isn't difficult, because I mostly share Moss' opinion about it ("Hooray, he kicked the ball... now the ball's over there, that's an interesting development. That man has it now, maybe he'll kick the ball... he has indeed, and apparently that deserves a round of applause...")
I like to cuddle. Not after sex or before sex or leading to sex, just generally
I like pretty things. Not that I wear flowery clothes, but I have a tendency to spot butterflies with an interesting pattern, colourful flowers, and forest strawberries (these are really tiny, but totally worth the parasite infestation risk)
I own quite some cuddly toys, named most of them and sometimes talk to them (and imitate their voices to have them answer, of course)
THese are all the things I can think of right now, but there surely are more.

I have a handful of effeminate traits (I use the word "adorable" a bit liberally, for instance) but honestly, you immediately stop caring about this sort of thing once you lose your virginity. Because you know that no matter how odd your behavior or characteristics may seem at a glance, you are evolutionarily selected for, and no one can take that away from you.
Also I dance like Thom Yorke, frequently.

I've never had the "man card". I turned it in voluntarily. *Opens Escapist profile* Yeah, that photo is me.

Pretty much the same as OT, except without the like for certain boybands. What makes me laugh though is that older (40-50+) guys in my area seem to not be able to hold a conversation longer than 5 words unless related to cars, tool collections or "the game last night"
And I also don't like sports, but if that's really a requirement to be manly then there is no hope for this country. My failure to see how spending hundreds of millions a year to watch people knock a ball around is a good use of time or money, is more a matter of pragmatism than manliness.
I don't have a real affinity for cars, I always try to avoid fighting if possible, and the worst injury I have ever gotten was a hairline fracture in my tibia.
None of my non-masculine pleasures are guilty by any means. If anything I think they reinforce my manliness. I doubt most would agree, but I frankly don't care.
The most stereotypical feminine things that I can think of are my love for crossdressing and cooking.
Other things others might find feminine:
I love dancing. (It's fun!)
I can sew well. (It's a very practical skill)
Other things, but it's late and I'm tired
Honestly though, what's the point of fussing over so-called 'non-masculine' quirks. If you've got confidence in yourself what's it matter?

-Never had a Girlfriend
-I love Anime/Manga, which is frowned upon by many of the people in my school for some reason...
-Although almost noting makes me actually cry, if I see someone else crying, however, I will start to cry, just because they are.
-I enjoy, and play Soccer, Tennis, and Bowling, and for most of the other kids, any sport that isn't (American)Football, Basketball or Baseball, are considered 'gay'.
-I also like all songs by Nightcore, and any song like it.

I don't like watching sporting events. It just bores me. I'll gladly play a game of Basketball, Football or Baseball with my friends, but watching other people on TV do it just doesn't really amuse me.
On the subject, I don't currently participate in any sports. A while ago I took some karate classes(Tae Kwon Do, to be exact), but I wasn't very mature when I was in it. I probably remember more than I think I do, but I feel like I should take it again, see where that goes.
A (somewhat) manly thing that I kinda wish I didn't have though is the fact that I'm horrible at expressing emotions. People get the feeling I don't care about them, which saddens me. I care a lot about people, I really do, I just am horrible at showing it. Perhaps I can get better at that.

Yes I used to watch Sailor Moon, and long before that She-ra.
I don't like sports, who want to watch other sweaty men play a game in person or on the Television.
I currently do not have a girl friend but I had a number of them in the past.
I do drink, I enjoy beer
I was in the military and I am considered proficient with a M-16 at 500 yards.
I do alot of DIY stuff
