Somebody Asked Men Online “What Male Stereotypes Don’t Apply To You?”, 33 Delivered
We’ve all seen that picture of the really tall, very masculine, and big bearded biker with the tiny kitten in his hands online, right? It’s always nice to find out that your guy friends also like talking about their feelings, watching romantic comedies, or taking care of plants. There are still a lot of stereotypes pervasive in society, dictating what people should and should like or do, but people are slowly breaking them down, one stereotype at a time.
This AskMen thread on Reddit gives us a chance to see the things guys really like doing - without filters or reservations and without a care for stereotypes.

I don't give a single f**k about sports.
I have NEVER understood the widespread appeal, not to mention the absolute vitriolic behavior of the most "enthusiastic" of fans.
I’m one of those gays who’s really into sports. I even know the football offside rule.
Lol I'd accept that as a statement of fact OR as stand-up comedy. Brilliant
Load More Replies...I like watching sports that I know I can't do but it amazes me others can do them. I just don't dive deep into it nor care who wins.
If you really think about it though, the ONLY time Nationalism makes any sense is the World Cup…
I don't like to have sex with a woman unless I get to know her first and there's an emotional connection
Yes. Sex is great, but only as an expression of intimacy. To me it is a sharing of mind, body and spirit, and that is not something I will do lightly. If I wouldn't want to spend an hour with you in my arms, I wouldn't want to have sex with you.
Men can be asexual too. I can take it or leave it and I certainly can be aroused but there's more important things that come first.
I believe that there is a much higher percentage of people who identify on the asexual spectrum (asexual, demisexual, greysexual) but fear every coming out to the the horrible stigma.So many people still think that asexuality is a mental illness when it truly is not.
Load More Replies...I honestly don't understand how people can* have sex after just meeting and not have an emotional connection.
It depends. I’ve been so emotionally cut off after suffering a severe bout of depression that I can. That’s me though and I’m certainly not mentally heathy so don’t take that as an example.
Load More Replies...I can't agree with this enough!! Not all guys are mindless drones. I personally was single for more than 2 1/2 years and not sexually active during that time. I had zero desire to find any kind of one night stand, or friend with benefits or whatever. Getting to know someone, developing a relationship, trust and getting to know her, is of vital importance before ever becoming physically intimate. That's just my two cents. 🤷🙂
It’s called demisexuality and a lot of people of all gender identities have it. So it’s nothing to be ashamed of
Why does it have to have a label? It makes it sound like there's something abnormal about it.
Load More Replies...I am the same way, I am a woman, but the feel the same way. I have to have a mental connection with someone. I have a dude right now that is constantly harassing me he wants to have sex, I have asked several times hey, lets meet up have a drink and talk.. He just always replies with just let me come over, nope. We worked together years ag0, friends on facebook, I am just not gonna let you come over
i think this is beautiful.. i do the same thing a connection is worth a lot more than meaningless sex.
Thank you and I know sex is great but don't have to sleep with every person you go out with.
I've met 3 men like this. Actually I'm surprised that men do that like this. You wouldn't bring a person you just met to your house get naked in front of them and let them get close to you. You never know if they are not murderers, have crazy kinks and not gonna knock you out and steal all of your s**t. You don't know their health and if they could pass something nasty to you. And to top it off - they might get pregnant and then what? You suddenly got a baby on your lap.
I sleep with a stuffed animal. He’s a large broccoli and his name is Brock. We’re very happy together.
I sleep with at LEAST 20 stuffed animals and a minor security blanket (who I have had for years and cannot really sleep without) so I really defy that dang stereotype
I'm a girl, but i still sleep with my three stuffed animals I've had since i was a little kid.
Much like the giraffe I sleep with, this looks like a great mini body pillow!
I have a shelf of plushies from various sources. Only problem is that my little nephews keep throwing them around.
Broccoli... Sockoli... what's he doing today? Person (offscreen): he's dead
I'm such a little girl when anything at all happens in nature.
"oooh wow it snows. Look at these beautiful trees. Oh I'm so happy right now"
"oh wow those flowers are really pretty. I wanna pick them and take them home"
"oh look a butterfly"
"oooooooooh kitty. I wanna pet the kitty"
Except in nature a kitty may not be a domestic house cat. It could have a big mother who may not be amused with you messing with her kids.
Load More Replies...Thank you for saying this. Nature is awesome! Appreciating it has nothing to do with gender, and everything to do with respect for and joy in the world around us
Load More Replies...That's not being a little girl that's just being yourself and seeing beauty in life.
Not a guy but sometimes I stop walking just to stare at the moon and I'm pretty sure people around me think I'm weird but it's worth it
My boyfriend gets all excited when it snows. He loves it. Same with sunrises and sunsets. He tries to show me pictures but either his camera isn't great or he's just not good taking pictures lol. Bless his big heart.
My husband is the same way and I love it so much. We love planning what to plant around the house and how beautiful it'll be.
There is nothing strange or "girly" about loving nature! Nature can be incredibly renewing and I appreciate both men and women who can find the joy, fun, and beauty in it.
I love your sentiment, but why why are we still referring to anything on the softer side as "Girly" I know some "Girls" who could take a head off ligament by ligament by tendon and no-one would find the supposed body! They still love snow, sunsets, and kitty's, but to be fair, they would probably steal the cat!
I tear up stupidly easy during emotional movie scenes.
I won't speak for other women, but I find it both endearing and sexy when a man isn't afraid to show he's human.
I've definitely been doing this since having kids of my own. I also find it very cathartic
My husband cries easily during movies at times, but I always give him a huge hug and love him even more for it! Sometimes I'll cry with him!
I do this, and i have no idea why, but only at REALLY cheesy movies and bad scenes. If its a quality movie, not so much.
Watch a scene that always makes you cry without the music sometime. I swear it's the music
Load More Replies...Same. I also can't sing my 2yo daughter songs at bedtime without choking on the lyrics and tearing up.
I've tread up watching a 25 year old re-run of Law and Order.
I like to sit and pee.
It's just conformable and more hygienic, also my bathroom smells like strawberries.
I don't understand why pen15 owners don't sit down all the time. Take the weight off, check your phone. It's all good
If it's dark, or I'm wearing sweats or pajama pants, I'll sit. Too hard to aim in the dark and I sure don't wanna turn on the light.
Especially at night. No lights to wake me more than I already am.
Load More Replies...Same -- anytime I just a urinal I never get properly "clean", a few drops tend to escape down my pant leg.
You can shake it, you can swing it, you can beat it on the wall. But only in your pants will the last drip fall.
Load More Replies...Haha yeah it seemed weird that sitting down would have the effect
Load More Replies...My husband does this, because he likes to scroll reddit while he's sitting there. Its his "me time"
Oddly, best relationships I ever had were with men who sit to pee. I think it might actually be an indicative personality trait but I never bothered to do a deeper dive.
Not interested in sports overly
Don't have a compulsive need to drink or bet
Not bothered if a woman earns me than me, her place isn't in the kitchen, it's where ever she wants that makes her happy
Don't bang everything with a pulse
Don't feel a need to prove myself or out-do others
I'm very similar, but would make a terribly bad president. I also know my limits and that I'm largely socially blind.
Load More Replies...I’m sorry, but this reeks of the Pick Me man version of “I’m not like other girls.” Putting down other men to make himself sound good— I doubt most men bang everything with a pulse or have a compulsive need to drink or bet.
I was having the same thought: he's painting a very negative picture about what men are supposedly like, just so he can pat himself on the shoulder? Most men I know are not these stereotypes.
Load More Replies...My husband was so humiliated when I was making more money than him, I always jsut said what does it matter, as long as one of us is making matter. One time he threw my keys away so I could not go to work......I couldnt take the kids to school either, I found them at the very bottom of the garbage can
I love to watch my favorite football ⚽ teams. I don't gamble ever, and rarely drink alcohol. Didn't realize those were male qualities though. I don't care how much anybody makes, regardless of gender. My mother has inspired in me the constant anxiety that I'm not good enough, so yeah, i feel the need to prove myself. Not at the expense of others, because my mom also taught me that I shouldn't take up space.
Sucker for cuddles
I love curling up with someone I care about, her head on my chest. Its my favorite thing in the world.
I wish my puppy would cuddle. She gets too excited and starts jumping around. She does sleep in bed with me. One of my cats is a big time lap cat though
Omg my bf and I would die for cuddles.. jokes on us we're long distance
I love my marriage
Huge stereotype. It's this idea that women forced you into marriage and having kids and have taken away your freedom and enjoyment of life. So many tv sitcoms revolve around this idea of men in marriages and the wife is always some nagging woman who forces him to be responsible. The wife is always mad at the husband for something.
Load More Replies...Been married 8 years going on 9 and I'm happy having a partner to get through life with. I hate that it's not the same for everyone, though.
It's so rare to hear this that I almost forget sometimes that some people are actually happily married, lol.
I very much Want to get married, to find someone who would choose me, share the rest of her life with me.
I would hope so. Is it a stereotype that men don't like their marriages? Why get married otherwise?
Some men get married because they want children. But more men get married because they are children.

I’m not the breadwinner. I do all of the housework. I stay home with the baby.
Edit: This got a lot more attention than I expected. My wife and I have been married for 5 years. 3 years ago I was miserable in a 9-6 office job and she just finished school with her Nurse Practitioner license. I got an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a tech startup for equity involved (although minimal pay up front). We decided that I would pursue this opportunity and when we had kids I would be staying home with them while she works since I’d be working from home. It’s been 3 years since then. I co-founded a second company in March and our first child was born in May. We have family help, and I’m able to make my own schedule. I try to make life as easy for my wife as I can because I know her job is very stressful and she only gets to see our daughter 2-3 hours max per day. To us it was a no-brainer. For me to go back to an office job just for my salary to go to childcare seems foolish. So yea I do the dishes, cook, clean, grocery shop, etc. because it’s the best thing for my family at this time. 10 years from now we could be living a very different life, and we’ll make the same decisions to better the lives of our children.
That's what a "real" man does-cares for his family, does what's best for them and supports his partner. Toxic masculinity is killing men.
Think you missed the point of this entire post. This isn't a "real" man, this is a normal human being. Most guys are like this and not the neanderthals that the media implies.
Load More Replies...I kind of wonder who still even thinks that this wouldn't make perfect sense. My BIL is staying at home with their baby for the next year because his wife makes so much more than he was making. And I didn't hear anyone saying anything except for like praising him. Wonder how many women get kudos for taking care of their kids?
Not working is awesome if you can! Without taking advantage of the system. The American work ethic is truly f****d up!
When it turned out that I had a career job and he didn't, I became the sole income and his job has been caring for the house, yard, kids and pets ( not exclusively, i do my part after work and on weekends, but we've largely reversed traditional roles and it works fine.).
Honestly, that is kind of what I want to have. I hate the idea of having to work for the rest of my life, but I live the idea of watching over my children, taking care of them, cooking the meals, cleaning the house. It’s just perfect to me.
Hmm. I am the only income earner in my house. My wife is a SAHM. But I do the majority of the cooking and cleaning. I work from home, so I can do that. I also do things like pack the kids lunches for school, get them to and from school, karate, sports, etc. But I really like that stuff. My wife is really messy, so cleaning is something I do to maintain my sanity. She will only clean if she's mad at me, then she does it as loudly as possible. My wife manages the bureaucratic stuff with school. Particular the special ed paperwork. She's also very active in politics and advocacy. She does really amazing work in that arena.
I do the same. Wifey got to where she made 3x my salary. Now I'm on childcare/house renovations. It's kinda great.
Although I still live with my dad at the age of 26, I don't consider myself a failure and I'm not a slob. I have finished my university degree and have a full-time job in my field, it's just that renting is simply too expensive. I do every chore that an average 'independent' person does - I cook, clean the apartment, do the laundry, pay the bills etc. Basically dad is my roomie.
My grandmother and dad lived in their parents' house until it became their house. I simply uphold the tradition.
There is noting wrong with this at all, my son lived with me until I think he was 28? We were roommates, it isn't like oh you still live with your mom? We enjoyed each others company, He was able to quit his job, and go to a trade school, and now he has his CDL, and makes so much money! He lives with this girlfrind now, and I really miss him, we had fun together
In indian subcontinent, you are expected to keep your parents with you and not abandon them in their old age.
I see nothing wrong with this whatsoever. I’m just a little jealous that his father seems to be awesome. I had to move out when I was 16.
If all adults are good with the arrangement and a "fair share" plan of chores and work is in place, I think this is a great living situation. I imagine it can be trying if the space is lacking for privacy reasons.
there are cultures in this world where living with parents, etc. is normal. wish we would get that in our USA brains.
Listen, remember this. Its the 21st century and thr price of living is ridiculous. I live with my mom and my brother still and although we have our moments we make things work. All of us have our romantic partners too, one day when finances get better we do plan to even still stick together in a larger place. Because it makes the price of living so much more manageable. In other words, its okay to look after each other
I like sewing. I’m working on my first quilt right now.
I learned sewing from my mom and carpentry from my dad, they where both professionals in those directions, I'm very happy with both skills.
Actively mining sewing knowledge from my mother/aunts right now to start upholstering my woodworking projects. Just came to the realization that I'll be the only person in this generation of our extended family that will know how to sew
My older brother has a whole business sewing. He used to make dresses and skirts for us and costumes and stuff. Now he does leather, which is less "shocking" for a guy, I guess.
Traditionally, tailors were men. I'm not sure when sewing became 'women's work.'
Idgaf about cars
I used to be interested in cars...back when cars were interesting. They all look alike now.
Yup. But they're so much safer now that it feels stupid to try and get a vintage car. Sigh... Someone should make a company that makes vintage-car lookalikes that are still as safe as any other modern car.
Load More Replies...A car is just something to get me from home to point B and back home. And point B better be worth it.
I don't care about cars or even have a drivers license, my wife has her license and sometimes drives our 20 year old car.
I'm not interested in sports cars or anything like that, but like a lot of things, I'm interested in cars when I'm in the market for one. I don't care about the super expensive, impractical ones. I care about the ones that I can afford, that are comfortable, that are reliable, and that are safe. Right now I'm in the market for an SUV (YouTube tells me that what I'm looking for in the US would be called a "compact" SUV), so I'm starting to gather information. Once I make my purchase, I'll be back to not caring about cars other than my own. It's the same with phones, TVs, other appliances - I don't know/care about them unless I'm thinking of getting one.
Yeah I'm so sick of assigning genders to object. I'm a chick and I like cars. So what.
I actually prefer to cook my own food rather than ordering takeout
So many great advantages to both options. Grateful to have the choice!
I like watching cooking shows but I'd like to see one where to cook has to clean all the stuff up. I'd cook a lot more if I had staff to wash the dishes.
I don't love cooking but the price and nutrition value are sooo much better. Often the taste, too.
I like to cook, but when its just for me its just too much work. But for friends, I'm more than happy to. When we go to conventions, I cook a bunch of meals (last menu was shepards pie, bourbon chicken, slow cooked beef stew, and a breakfast scramble) so we don't have to pay over inflated con prices.
Have great fashion sense and love grooming myself, am not gay
Yep same. I could shop all day, I buy lots of the latest fashion stuff etc etc
Fashion is so underrated in men. You don't have to be stuck-up or gay to pay attention to what you put on.
It's sad he had to announce his sexual orientation. Who f*****g cares?!

Its a gay stereotype to be fashionable? I dress like a darn hipster some days
Too bad that you felt the need to state the last part. Everyone loves shopping for themselves!
I like baking...
I like to bake, too. I learned it from my work in a traditional bakery
I like cooking but I'm too impulsive for baking, all that measuring, too much precision.
Baking can be both incredibly fun yet incredibly tricky as it is such a precise science.

I f*****g love gardening. Every year I can't wait to fill my goddamn yard with sunflowers. If you don't like sunflowers I will fight you.
Also, BBQ'ing, I have no idea what the f**k a BBQ does or how it works and everything I cook turns to s**t. I don't f**k with the BBQ.
Is this a US thing that gardening isn't a male stereotype? From what I've experienced it's usually the men that attended to gardens.
It might be [I'm US]. It's weird though. "Yardwork", landscaping, and farming are typically considered masculine, but if you're growing flowers or food in a residential area it's feminine.
Load More Replies...I have my garden every year unless something comes up. I’ve been planting a garden since I was a kid. My grandparents got me started.
Haha! Gardening, yes! One of my brothers had a 2 acre garden he cared for on his own when he was 15. It was crazy, but he loved it.
My friend, there are Anger Management courses available even before the Court inevitably forces you into one!
I can fix nothing . I am not into sports . I cook . I like kids . I am not a car guy. I work as a nurses aid. The last one put me in high demand at the hospital.
My dad kinda always thought it was funny that my sisters married men who were not "handy" in like traditional masculine gender role ways. One is an artist and the other is a chef so they're just handy in other ways if you ask me.
My sisters and I can fix up most things around the house. But our dad was a master tradesman and his idea of preparing his kids for the real world was making sure we knew how to do a bunch of basic home repair/ woodworking/ very basic electrical. If it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't have learned in my own, not really interested outside of saving the money
So I would suggest that you at lest learn how to fix s**t. Apparently not your car though!
Come on though. Being able to work with your hands is not a bad thing. My daughter is pretty handy.
I think everybody should be able to do basic repair work and plumbing. Especially if you own a car or a home, you should be able to swap out your flat tire, or unclog your toilet at the bare minimum. Best if you can patch walls, do basic electrical. I'd love to learn more carpentry, but never can find time.

I cannot stand beer. I think it is the most repulsive substance you could possibly drink. It's literally just rotten barley water imo. I have tried so many beers, commercial, imports, dark, light, etc. its all disgusting. Gimme a good rum or bourbon. And if you really wanna make me happy, gimme something fruity like a Malibu sunrise or a Bahama mama. But mostly I just drink tea.
I also bake nearly everyday. I make cookies, cakes, brownies, muffins, etc. all from scratch. I even make my own bread. I literally bake a loaf of bread every 2-3 days. And I love to give my baked goods out to whoever will take them.
For christmas all my neighbors receive a plate of various cookies, cupcakes, brownies, fudge and fresh baked bread, all made from scratch. Box desserts are horrible and either don't or just barely save you any work, money or time.
This is literally me. Who wrote this cos I wanna know you? I utterly hate beer, and I love rum and I drink far too much tea. I also love cooking, baking etc ☺️
I can't stand beer. When coworkers go out for a beer after work, I'm always that guy with a glass of wine. And I don't care.
Pfpff okay forgive me i hear you talking smack about beer and all i hear in my head is pirate shanties about Grog x3. Real talk though i rarely drink beer, coke and rum for me or a straight swig of rum to knock me out before bed is all i want .
COMPLETELY lost me at “I cannot stand beer…”. We truly live in parallel universes.
I feel like this about red wine. I don't care how expensive it is, it's just vinegar to me. Shame really, because I live in France half the year.
I stopped drinking about 3 years ago. I don’t really miss it, but am an absolute sucker for 0% beer - I really can’t get enough
We have place near where we live that serves hard apple cider on tap it so much better than beer which is awful
I'll admit when I'm wrong.
No it certainly is not. I know plenty of women who never admit when they are wrong
Load More Replies..."I was wrong once. I thought I had made a mistake. But of course I hadn't!"
I'm very nurturing and am happy and was perfectly willing to take on primary care giver role of our child, even with full time employment. I also do housework. No issue with it.
I am also much more gentle and soft spoken than my wife, who is basically a (hot) bull in a China shop. Between the two, I am the peace maker.
I find folding laudry relaxing.
I always take the basket to the bedroom. Throw on a off roading video and just fold.
Its such a simple task.
No thinking about whats for dinner or how the kids did.in school.
Just simple laundry.
I love doing laundry and dishes. I find both very zen and i like the physical manifestation of accomplishment and order when I’m done.
My Dad does this! He watches Westerns while folding all the laundry. He loves it.
This one reminds me of basic training. I was 28 (grandpa) with a bunch of 18-20 year olds. One night I was folding my laundry and this one guy, who always seemed to be bouncing from one thing to the next, stopped on his way to somewhere and asked me "how can you do that". I asked him what he meant and he said "be so calm". I was folding my underwear and he couldn't figure out how I was calm.
Bird: "I don't sing because I'm happy, I'm happy because I sing." Same thing here? I'm calm because I'm folding.
Load More Replies...Folding is just getting ready for ironing. I hate ironing but once it's done, I love the look, the feel, and the smell of beautifully ironed...well, everything.
I don’t care about my name living on or having a legacy. I came, I survived until I died and that’s all there was to it. I also don’t find sex worth the effort people go through for it, I can’t understand paying for a prostitute.
What draws me to sex is the intimacy and acceptance. An encounter with prostitute is the opposite of both of these.
I love my kids and grandkids and I want them to survive and thrive, but I have no love for humanity itself. If in not so distant future mankind drives itself to extinction, I couldn't care less. I would much rather this beautiful little planet recovered and survived. You go, Mama Nature!
Carrying on a family name is so dated I wouldn't even call it a stereotype anymore. If anything I think NOT wanting kids is the stereotype now.
I wish we could do away with the with that kind of family line stuff. It doesn't make you less part of the lineage if you don't have the same last name.

Liking to drink.
I hate alcohol and I've started to dislike soft drinks too. I mostly drink water.
Strange twist in this one. Needed another drink just to try and understand it!
I love flowers but lately I've tried to avoid cut flowers. It just seems wrong that they're just gonna die. Pot plants are a much better option.
I can never understand why everyone has to drink in social settings. Do they need it to be more friendly. I try drinking soda only for energy or cream soda for upset stomach
I love doing the washing up and having a tidy kitchen!!!
I am definitely *not* horny 24/7.
My penis has a mind of its own and I do not like it. I'll get horny at random hours and there's literally nothing turning me on. In the middle of an exam, while studying, while cycling. And the worst part is that when I get horny, I start dozing off.
Oh, but seriously if you're not 13 you might want to talk to a doctor

I played with my sister’s dolls as a kid and I will hug anyone in sight (pre/hopefully soon post covid). Stealing from someone else I also sit and pee. I remember my 3rd grade teacher getting on to me for that (she was not a good teacher)

I get so frustrated when people don't get to the point. All this rambling and waffling is just so irritating. And those that tell you the end of the story before the beginning. Arrrgh!

I do not. I wash my face in the shower and moisturise if I remember, or can be bothered. I'm 70 and my skin looks 15 years younger- or so I'm told. I almost never wear makeup.
Just wanted to pipe in.
While I don't know about "exceptionally clean". My place was definitely pretty clean, it was also better organized then anytime I've lived with a partner.
I think the stereotype comes from young guys who are living in dorm rooms or going out partying all the time.
All these posts about cleaning. Let me tell you this, all my most slovenly roommates have been women. I never knew how manky a bathroom could be until I lived with them.
I'm a woman and I totally agree. I can be straight up gross. Not unsanitary but just messy. It really just depends on the person. I've known guys who literally sleep in beds with roaches in the room and I've known guys who have to have the magazines on the table perfectly straight and there can be not a single fingerprint on a glass table. Same with women. I think the only difference that I've seen is the desire to let other people SEE the mess. I would be mortified if someone just showed up at my house and saw how messy it was if I hadn't cleaned in a week. If I know there's even a remote possibility of having company I'm doing a deep clean beforehand. Whereas men...some men can know you're coming over for a week in advance and still not clean up first. They just have no shame in it at all. I know I'm generalizing but this has been my experience.

I can attest that women's bathrooms can be truly revolting. Sorry ladies but you know it's true. Is it because you don't have to clean it?
You have to spend a lot of money to prove you are a real man, such as...big a*s trucks and camo
Got a full size truck. Cuz I pull a large fifth-wheel. Got some camo cuz I go hunting sometimes with a buddy. I just drive. Stereotypes are b******t! Believe it or not in some places people need to hunt to support their families, wear camouflage to do it, and need a truck to get in the woods. So, again, f**k you and your judgmentalism.
Hey, I don't care what you like. If you can afford it...get whatever you want. But I will never understand the truck 'culture'. I get if you do a job that needs the flatbed or live somewhere where having a powerful truck can help get through snow, etc. But 9 times out of 10 it's not for that. Trucks are annoying to get in as you get older. They are more compact inside so god forbid you want to pick people up or use the truck for more than 3 people. And unless you're using that flatbed all the time, the cost is really exorbitant and unnecessary. So many guys buy these 60K trucks that put their families in so much debt.
Wow, someone's insecure in their masculinity. Is your home decked out in camouflage and decorated with posters of screaming eagles? Do you fight bears with your bare hands? Is the only thing you eat raw meat? Yes, you are oh so very manly! The epitome of manliness! How could anyone be as manly as you!?

My friends were so jealous because he used to make me lovely little crochet badges to put on my school bag. My husband grew up in an all male household. Consequences of which are: he’s amazing at doing most things he apparently shouldn’t do (apart from cooking, sorry but he really can’t cook, he thinks that the crusty bits on the top of the ketchup bottle are one of his 5-a -day) Other side of things is I can’t sew. If you want blood and swearing fine! If you actually want wearable clothing, ask hubby. Stereotypes only reflect on the people who keep using them.
I wear a skirt when the weather is hot, the ventilation is superb. I also bake almost all the bread we eat, and cook about 95% of the meals, because I like to.
Here's mine. I don't like strip joints. Went to one when I was a young, horny sailor.It took me a nano second to figure out those ladies weren't the least bit interested in us and sure as hell weren't leaving with us. Loud, boring and expensive waste of time.
sadly about 1 in 5/6 people with eating disorders are men, just not widely admitted or talked about. I hope you're getting help and dealing with it

I keep my house clean, I do my laundry, I make my bed every day, I take care of my skin, I hate sports, I can cook, I support women's rights, people of color and my friends in the LGBTQIA community. I don't play video games, I don't gamble, nor do I have an interest in strip clubs. I have a fun eclectic group of friends from all walks of life and am generally happy. Funny thing is, I don't actually know a lot of men who exude typical male stereotypes.
