Turn in your man card

[The Funslinger]

I feel I'm the opposite of the OP in many ways:

I do like alcohol. Beer as a regular drink, wine and champagne at social event and anything else in the same way people like really sour stuff.

I have to shave frequently, my stubble is like weed (the pesky garden ruining thing!)

I lost my virginity a few years ago

I'm competitive in a good natured way.

I shoot

I raise working dogs

I have assisted in the lambing of sheep. >.<

I'm not really phased by MLP. Each to his own.

However, I do have a couple of things, and I do like anime (not sailor moon, but still) but I don't really consider that effeminate, and it's sure as hell less gay than watching two oily/sweaty muscle bound lads in short shorts grapple in mindboggling ways (wrestling)

If I had to pick stuff that's not really "manly", I never learned to ride a bicycle. I just never needed it as a kid. Either I walked to something, or was driven.

Um... I like baking cakes.

Never really liked watching or playing sports (although I'm okay at football (As in soccer, but its name is football, dammit!))

I have been touched (not like that, get your mind out of the gutter!) by a poem. (The Lady of Shalott)

However, I feel any drawbacks can be compensated for by the fact that I am training for the Royal Marines.

Well after reading through these comments, I think my own are gonna seem pale in comparison:

I'm fussy over my apperance, especially my hair which rebels constantly against gel, gum and wax -_-

Umm, I trim and shave my body hair (aint goin into detail you pervs).

And given the chance, I'm a hopeless romantic.

Thats it, in relation to other posts: I am between gf's, like to have sex wither it be a one night stand or in a relationship. I like certain sports, American Football, Rugby, Boxing etc. I do like to drink but not to the point of bingeing. I like Rock music.

And to the guys who wish to wait for marriage before sex: I respect and am also confused by you dudes. Respect for managing to have the self control/restraint to wait that long; growing up through my teens, the need was too strong for me to deny the bounty. Confusion why you would wish to delay the biggest high I have been able to experience, why deny what is ready available. But still, your choice fellas.

Ok then, fun times:

I like books. (Proper novels, currently reading the Chronicles of Pern)
Sport does not interest me. (It's just boring!)
I like storyline in the things I watch/read/play instead of lots of action.
I like committed relationships, not casual sex.
I like dressing smart. (I wear a damned suit! Casually!)
Im a reasonably good cook.
I like love stories.
I get upset when bad things happen to people I don't even know.

I think there is more but at the moment I can't think of any.

Most of the things already said in thise thread:

-I'm extremely shy and over-emotional

-I don't drink, nor do I plan to

-I don't see the point in random flings and one-night-stands with people (I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic).

-Generally, I hate the company of other guys because they treat everything like a dick-waving competition (there are a couple of exceptions to this). As a result most of my friends are girls.

-I straighten my hair.

-I'm not a body-builder and have quite a thin frame. My stance occasionally looks a bit feminine and as a result I've been mistaken for a girl a few times.

-I can't stand 'professional' sports in any shape or form.

-I'm useless at any form of DIY, cars, building things etc.

-I have almost cried on several occasions when watching something or reading a book.

-I constantly "n'awh" at my cat and proceed to hug him.

I enjoy Swing and Jazz... That's honestly thing that I can think of...

I mean I do not go extatic over sports but when my mates want to watch a game I can tag along just to throw clueless comments at some players...

I would consider swing and jazz to be extremely manly! It's swing and jazz, for Christ's sake, how can it not be manly?

I have mid length floppy fringe which I enjoy doing the full on hair flick with, I like My Little Pony, I love singing along to camp music from the 80s/90s, I don't drink at all, when I drink tea I stick my little pinky out, I hate sports, I love to wear tight jeans, I can make a daisy chain.

I've had builders stop their van lean out of the window and wolf whistle thinking I was a woman, twice.

Dear God, I've been cloned. I'm the exact same apart from the pinky finger and daisy chain. Builders are arseholes.

No!

Oh. Read the full OP. Sorry.

I don't uderstand

I like to talk about my problems and feelings

.

Are you saying that you like to do this a lot? If so, I'd say it's not an admirable trait in anyone. Most guys, though, talk about these things more than we get credit for.

 

[Bomberman4000]

I like musicals
I perform in theaters
I watch Grey's Anatomy, Glee, and Desperate Housewives
I write a lot


I think that's about it really. Other than that I'm a typical guy. I've had girlfriends, I've had sex, I like cars, sports, women, red meat, booze, and breaking/building things.

 

[EternalFacepalm]

Hate sports and cars, and I acknowledge the fact that I have feelings. That's apparently "girly".

This topic is inspired by a thread I found on The Spoony Experiment forums. Most men have certain qualities or interests which might not be considered "manly" by their culture. I thought it would be interesting for the male members of this forum to have a discussion about our non manly guilty pleasures and the like.

I don't like sports. Sports movies are okay because the characters give me a reason to care who wins.

I have no interest in cars.

I consider myself a bit of a feminist. Always been a sucker for action girl characters.

I liked Sailor Moon when i was a kid. Black moon was my favorite story arc.

I've performed in many theatrical productions in high school (people consider that gay for some reason).

Don't drink and I don't plan on ever doing it.

I've never had a girlfriend.

I want to wait until I'm married before I have sex.

I like a good love story.

I can still enjoy Backstreet Boys and Nsync. I'm was a fan when I was a kid some nostalgia from time to time can be fun.

I'm the sensitive type and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm not a competitive person

I like to talk about my problems and feelings

Get a woman and/or grow up and have your face smashed repeatedly on the anvil of life and then we'll talk.

Iv'e known blokes who are all sensitive like, then they grow up a little. Not saying you will suddenly wake up after a shitty day and buy a Birmingham city season ticket, just saying these discussions are best left for when your personality is settled.

Oh and if I misread the (albeit subtle) teen angst in your post I apologize, and this statement I for those of you who do lurk here, posting threads about how you just don't fit in.

Once again I will reiterate.

Just to clarify some things. In never intended for this topic to be taken seriously. A few people have made posts to the effect of I don't need a man card or Nobody can tell me what is manly or isn't. This is something I would agree with. I don't particularly hide anything on my list in public. The point of this thread was to have a laugh. Also, I really need to check out My Little Pony based on everyone's recommendations. I've enjoyed GI Joe Renegades and Transformers Prime son I guess The Hub is the best place for good cartoons now.

Apart from the standard stuff mentioned a dozen times by others (sports, cars, alcohol, sex)...

Good anime coupled with music/ song can reduce me to tears...

 

[AdamRBi]

Ok, these are the most unmanly things I could think of... I...

I don't wear Pink and I don't own a Kilt.

*wince*

Fair enough, GLHF

I have Rainbow Dash as my avatar.

Any sense of manliness I once had (which to be honest wasn't much to begin with) is now gone.

And I'm okay with that.

 

[MasterOfHisOwnDomain]

Being attracted to men is kind of my most unmanly thing.... BUT not in a strange way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in9SiDtJLaU

Other than that I'm pretty man. I like sports, drink, video games and battles where stuff gets blown up. Not much of a car person I guess, and I dance too well...

 

[Stilkon]

Sports/competition/cars aren't my thing either.

 

[Tdc2182]

How is saying a man should have confidence over analyzing the thread lol?

Don't be a dick.

It's meant to be a fun thread, not life advice.

I don't think I'm less of a man because I like Romantic comedies. I think I'm less of a man because I in fact don't have a penis.

Not necessarily unmanly:
