Feminine/masculine things you like even though you're a boy/girl

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

I love cars, trucks, basically ANYTHING with an engine

I love watching sports, although mostly NASCAR and other motorsports. I'm totally fanatical about the sports I love

I hate girly clothes, in fact I avoid girly clothes. I do wear a lot of "guy shirts" just because they're more comfortable 

I hate makeup, I actually have never worn makeup. It's just a waste of time to me, standing in front of a mirror obsessing over putting pounds of powdery weird smelling stuff on your face...

 

[Holiday Agnaktor 1,436]

I love having long hair and looking pretty. I kinda suck at looking nice though, so that's a bummer. I would love to also wear shiny necklaces and stuff like that, but those things are expensive.

Other than that I'm pretty masculine... I think? I have no idea. I love doing sports that involve climbing and jumping and stuff like that, and I don't know any girls that are really into that sort of thing, so I guess that counts as masculine?

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

I'm male, though I wouldn't consider myself a "boy" necessarily. I'll just use that perspective. As a "boy", there are plenty of not-so-masculine things about me:

- I've enjoyed several more "girly" cartoons, like MLP (of course) and Star Vs the Forces of Evil (well, I may not if they mess up the next batch of episodes). Those aren't really the only examples, but they're a couple of them that I'm more into now.

- I like my hair longer rather than shorter. I've been growing it out and only cutting it when I really need to. Mostly because I like styling it.

- I can't stand physically intensive things like sports and weightlifting.

- I'm a pretty emotional person. I don't really cry, but I'm actually quite emotional as a person.

- Pink is actually one of my favorite colors. In fact, I'm not sure whether pink or red is my favorite.

- I've had wine and vodka (the latter was an accident, it looked like water to me x_x) and I found them both disgusting.

- A lot of who I'd consider my closer friends at the end of high school were girls.

- I like wearing more feminine clothing, though I avoid doing it because I don't want to be judged by people around me.

- I don't like having body hair. I absolutely hate it, but I can be a bit forgetful to shave it. It almost makes me feel better when it's off of me.

- I really like cute things. In fact a large fraction of my favorite Pokémon I like simply because THEY ARE ADORABLE.

- I don't burp. Yeah, I've actually completely stopped doing it. I expel the gas in a less disgusting way instead.

- I absolutely HATE it when men talk about sex and things like that. I find it gross and obnoxious, both.

Among girly things I like are MLP (of course ). Cardcaptor Sakura was among my favorite animes back then. PPG was among my most watched tv shows. Played Super Princess Peach, and I consider it WAY better than New Super Mario Bros. I think that I'm closer to the sweet motherly type rather than the more aloof father type. I can't stand lacking hygiene, and much less going to bed without bathing . I don't give a shit about spreading my genes bullshit. I'm not really a masculine person, but I don't consider myself feminine either

Subversion:

While it is common to associate conflict towards men, the truth is, women are very conflicting as well, but they resort more to verbal assaults compared to the more physical men. I rather avoid both kinds of conflicts. Sex is overrated, and I don't fantasy about humping every woman I see, but I LOVE hentai and clop, and I like watching them while I bathe

My vocal reach extends into female opera. This allows me to do scream like a banshee if the comedic timing is appropriate. Good for laughs.

Otherwise pretty much a dood.

[Kings&Hooves14 616]

Feminine Things I Like:

1. My Little F*ckin' Pony, bitches! 

2. Pink!

3. Stuffed animals

4. Dolls

5. Romantic comedies 

6. Cute things

Masculine Things I Don't Like:

1. Sports

2. Spitting and farting in public! I don't understand why some people feel that these are socially acceptable behaviors

I enjoy sewing, cooking and occasionally cleaning; which are "traditionally feminine" things. Even though the latter two have slowly become general life skills for everyone to master.

Also in middle school, I decided to paint my nails for a while, but I used washable markers rather than nail polish.

I wear mascara and eyeliner pretty often... I like sewing too

Aside from liking MLP:FiM, I have a feminine personality. I have a fashion sense.  I also get overly emotional when something goes wrong.  And I'm fascinated with kawaii.  A lot of things that men typically like don't really interest me, such as sports. 

 

[Vocal Analyst 665]

Gender norms are one of my most loathed things about modern society... because they seem so unessecary. Growing up in the last twenty years, where it was still majorly prominent meant I had to conceal the feminine things I like in an attempt to normalise myself, which has been a real struggle. I liked PPG at school, but I couldn't enjoy it after boys AND girls are school ridiculed me for it... as the boys thought it was too girly while the girls thought a boy couldn't like a show that girly...despite the fact they kicked all sorts of ass. From then, I've just kept it to myself but I can thank MLP for making me more confident to embrace it... along with other things.
 

• MLP obviously, because it makes sense? I also like any kind of show that has 'chibi' or cute art styles, even though I find it hard to watch things due to my anxieties.
   
• I love pastel and soft colours as they're just so cute, I don't wear them but they accent whatever they're on so well.
   
• I'm quite an emotional person, I cry surprisingly often (for me a guy) even though it's still quite rare for me to do so (quite a contradiction I know). I'm very in touch with how I feel to where iI'm very comfortable in talking about it with others, to the surprise of many.
   
• I love cute things... to the point where I have cuteness overloads every now and again whenever I see a cute thing that is 'subjectively' to my tastes.
   
• Even though I'm a rock and metal music lover, I've been loving dance and pop music a lot more in recent times, mostly because the vocals can be a lot more powerful and the instrumentation if done right be more diverse. I still love rock and metal but not as much of it stands out to me nowadays.
   
• I like shoujo anime as I find them to be more relaxing and interesting on a character front compared to the male-specific equivalents. Ito Kimo, Professor of Cultural Studies at Kyoto University explained in The Moe Manifesto (a book by Patrick Galbraith, which is worth checking out) that he started reading Shoujo manga as an outlet for his anxieties with gender and escape from the the extremely masculine shonen in the 60's and 70's. I find this viewpoint extremely relatable, as I felt that male-targeted manga/anime doesn't speak to me on the same level female-targeted ones do, they're too loud and brash often when they don't need to be. I've had similar anxieties regarding masculinity and femininity in general over the years.
   
• I have an interest in women's fashion. Men's fashion is quite monotone from a design perspective, with the colour palette not ranging very far away from reds, blues and blacks most of the time with angular or simplistic shapes and tones. I am quite jealous that women have such a wide variety of styles to pick from, which the whole colour spectrum to match as well. Hell, I often look at an anime's qualities based on how well its visual style makes its fashion choices stand out... because alongside the story, that's what freakin' matters to me.
   
• I had long hair for a few years and loved it, however I didn't style it or take care of it well and thanks to early male pattern baldness, I can't grow it out anymore. Much like the fashion statement, variety for long hair is king (even though somehow it's frowned upon for men to have different long hair styles outside of a low ponytail or kept down), to where my current short style has to be the same all the time.

Well, some of my favorite shows of all time are: MLP, Star vs, PPG, The Loud House, Steven Universe, some of my favorite fictional characters are Wonder Woman, Princess Bubblegum, Luan Loud, Lucy Van Pelt and Twilight Sparkle. My favorite color is light pink. I love magical girl series and some of my favorite games of all time are Princess Maker II, Long Live the Queen, and Magical Diary: Horse Hall. I love watching ballet and reading romance stories. Oh, and I love cleaning if that counts as a feminine act (I think it's just a human thing but who knows). 

[Twisted Cyclone 🚓 6,260]

Besides MLP, the only more feminine thing I like is the color purple (my 4th favorite color) and that I typically play as female characters on video games when given a chance (if that sort of counts). 

[Will Guide 21,360]

Not sure if Disney counts since for the most part, it's gender-neutral. Oh, but I do love the Disney Princesses, even though I don't go buying up their merchandise. Other than DVDs of their films and Books, realistically I wouldn't be playing with the dolls and such!

Even Sleeping Beauty, who's possibly the weakest Disney Princess in the eyes of most cynics, get some caring points from me simply because I feel sorry for her not being allowed to be as developed as the other Princesses, what with her being asleep for half of her film. I'm still happy whenever I see Prince Phillip wake her up and she smiles with subtlety. Not to mention that he had to face one of Disney's greatest villains.

[Le Trotteur Sauvage 13,051]

Let's start my MLP, originally made for girls, I mean little girls ^^

[DuskSong 742]

I'm male but I absolutely love 'feminine' scents and sprays and all that. it's not fair that all the good smelling stuff is female 'restricted' in society. I like to smell like vanilla, lavender, seasonal scents, and i will continue to use these scents on myself because dammit, male scents smell terrible.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,604]

Besides the obvious (MLP), I can only think of color red and cats. For me it's more that I don't like certain masculine things (for example Cars, bikes, Caterpillar-machines.) than me actually liking feminine things. 

edit- Also romance, I really love seeing/reading about/listening about cute couples. :3

[Phill 1,287]

Feminine things I like 

MLP:FIM and Equestria Girls 

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually enjoying the Barbie Youtube Vlogs 

 

 

[Victoria Sponge 1,017]

I'm quite into video games despite being very feminine in general. It's not even through brothers of my boyfriend or anything, I've just always had an interest in them especially Nintendo.

[cuteycindyhoney 13,307]

I like action movies. There, I said it!

I've been told I like "Boy Movies" several times.

 

"Iron Man" rules!

[honk friend 1,978]

I think most of what's traditionally considered masculine or feminine is pretty much obsolete now. Video games and superhero movies aren't for boys anymore, pretty much EVERYONE enjoys them.

[BritishBrony2012 819]

I love Unicorns and Pegacorns, mostly girls love them. I do like kittens.

Do own two small keyring teddies that I took with me everywhere I go, also own few plushes.

I like weapons and some men's clothing. I wear my hair in a feminine way but very little makeup. I usually shock people on the rare occasions that I really get dolled up and dressed like a girl.

[Guest]

Clothes from the men's section. They're much more comfy and fit better!

[Prospekt 11,018]

I'm a guy who watches My Little Pony. Shocking, isn't it?

I also like Sailor Moon. And I admit that I have a soft spot for certain soap operas.

And I just tend to be better friends with girls than with guys.

And you know what? None of that has anything to do with my sexuality. Those stereotypes are bunk. You can be a heterosexual male and be fond of certain "feminine" things.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

As a boy, I like MLP and the color pink.
