Modern society is gradually blurring the lines between things that used to be considered strictly "masculine" or "feminine", both in the professional and personal spheres. What was taken for granted half a century ago is now certainly being criticized and rethought.

We must say that men still remain more conservative in this regard: while enjoying something "typically masculine" for a modern woman is really cool and always worthy of support, many men still perceive "typically feminine" activities as guilty pleasures. But the situation is gradually improving.

One day a thread appeared in the AskReddit community, where the topic starter asked: "Men of reddit, what's something you enjoy that's considered unmasculine?" The thread collected nearly 1.2K upvotes and over 2K different comments, where men revealed their most diverse activities and hobbies. We have to admit that it turned out very interesting and really informative.

Bored Panda made a list of the most popular and original answers from this thread for you, so feel free to scroll to the end of this compilation. And if you are a man and you did not find your hobby in this list, perhaps you will share it with us as we highly appreciate this.

45 Men Admit Which Things Usually Considered To Be "Unmasculine" They Really Enjoy My girlfriend regularly buys me a women's shower gel called "snow fairy", a pink product that smells *amazing*. She knows it's my guilty pleasure and I don't care that I'm a tall, burly guy in the army. Nobody messes with my snow fairy.

My husband, also a big burly manly man, has a similar “guilty pleasure”. He likes to soak in a hot bath, using the sweetest smelling bubble bath he can find. He. Does. NOT. Care. What. Anybody. Thinks. About. It. See, he injured his back when he was in his twenties, and in his forties it started to really ache if he overdid it. He soaks in the hot baths to soothe his aching back, so if he also wants to smell flowers/citrus/vanilla while doing it, that’s a privilege I wouldn’t dream of taking from a good, loving, hardworking man like him. Besides, it makes the bathroom smell good for me too!

I buy my husband (who is super manly looking men ) a shower gel called Sugar Cookie, it does smell amazing and just like it sounds. So if you like to smell like a sugar cookie or a lavender honey or a unicorn fart- it doesn't make you less of a men or unmanly, all it does it making you smell great!

    I have no idea how cats (or any animal actually) are considered “not masculine”. Like nearly all (?) animals come in male and female, and they just live their animal lives doing whatever animal things they do. But some aren’t considered masculine enough to be owned by a man by us humans or something? What weird things some of us are. People - love whatever animals you want, preferably *all* of them!

    Female metalhead nearing 50 here 👋🏼 (and for many people being a metalhead isn't feminine!) I don't think that these things are not masculine. I experienced that it's been odd to people if the chef in a restaurant or the baker in the bakery was female. But if men would cook and bake at home it's odd as well. People "sometimes" aren't the smartest species on the planet.

    Yes, I love hugs but I never ask for them. According to federal statute, it can still be considered sexual harrasment, EVEN IF THE PERSON AGREED AT THE TIME, if they were in a position they thought they could not refuse. I know I'm a large, ugly guy, and people might be afraid to say no to me. So I never ask for a hug, but I never refuse one.

    I wish I could. I was bullied and adults taught me that I should ignore them and not to react. Meaning if 10 year old me cried, it meant I was giving a reason for the bullies to continue so it became my fault. Crying makes me get angry with myself. (Yep I might have some issues, but how the heck are you supposed not to cry when you get fractured bones and cursing and you're a effin kid) Edit: sorry for the emotion dump

    Absolutely-cooking is an art, and experimentation with flavours and textures and times is good fun, but the chemical reactions that are needed for successful baked products need precise measurements of specific ingredients, volumes, times and temperature. You can experiment, but I bet there are far more inedible end results than with cooking experiments.

    Women who don't understand that forcing men to act "masculine" are robbing them of living completely human lives. Men should be allowed to cry and laugh and love fiercely without judgement because those are HUMAN experiences. If we don't let people express their emotions honestly and openly, they turn into incels. We have to start young, letting boys express themselves, so they will have better emotional regulation as adults. Women can be powerful and effective leaders and men can be nurturing care-givers, and frankly, we need to let people use their strengths regardless of gender or race or religion or sexual orientation or gender identity.

    I think most couples end up playing to their strengths now days. My parents took the view it was 'a man's job' for years. My mum assumed as my dad's job delt with negotiating and numbers, she could just trust him. In my late teens my mum suggested my dad teach me all about bills before I left home. That's how I found out he didn't really have a good grasp. I blamed my mum, she is an intelligent woman - she should have checked. She offered to take over, my dad was relieved. Now they do it together. My husband does almost all financial stuff, because he is better at it. However, I am a bit better at small details - so I check everything over. That works for us.

    Many of the stereotypes for “masculinity” would plunge us into a downright uncivilized existence if they became the guide for everyone’s life. The world would be in continual chaos, we would never have advanced beyond cave life, it would be a nightmare for women, children, animals, and the environment (even worse than now), and we would eventually kill each other off in stupid scorched earth pissing contests (wars). We need to evolve, not devolve, make those negative stereotypes a thing of the past, and work on becoming the truly civilized and enlightened society we have the capacity to be.

I told him "those belonged to the wuss on my left". He said later he doesn't like to sweat when he eats. I asked him "do I look like I'm sweating". No, no I wasn't. I'm a pepperholic.

    This is definitely a white male thing. In our country men have no problem ordering cocktails, unless they are white men, who seem to think only beer and whiskey are acceptable. Idiots with low self-esteem.

Now for my own answers: I love when people play with my hair. It was one of the reasons I grew it out back when. I'm very keen on physical contact (with permission of course), like hugging, people touching my shoulder while talking to me or vice versa... Crying during emotional scenes in movies

    Animation is the medium, and there's so many genres. It's not all for children. Watership Down? Black Cauldron? Secret of Nimh? These were rated G when they first came out, but would you really let your kids watch it the first time alone when they're 8 or so? Fritz the Cat, South Park, and others are made specifically for adults. Like...whatever floats your boat my dude, I wanna watch the 1991 version of The Little Engine that Could again, but nobody has it on Blu-Ray. Just the gross CGI one.

    I love people wanting to say hello to my dogs! I think they're the cutest dogs there are (just like all dogs are of course!). Though when my tiny dog was a puppy she was mobbed by a large group of children wanting to say hello (she was that cute and only the size of a guinea pig!) but they didn't ask permission and give me the chance to say 'one at a time'. The sheer number suddenly descending on her scared her badly. Since then she has remained nervous of people she doesn't know. So you are right to always ask 👍 My other dog would be in ecstasy having someone new to say hello to and he adores children (though he can't eat a whole one - sorry old joke!) 😆

    Some men see it as feminine to want to have nice skin. My ex complained endlessly about his dry skin and cheek redness but refused pointblank to try any serum or cream, and washed his face with basic soap. My current partner is perfectly happy with me tidying his eyebrows and doing face masks-we have mini spa evenings giving each other pedicures.

    45 Men Admit Which Things Usually Considered To Be "Unmasculine" They Really Enjoy Talking articulately about feelings. Also, related, talking with people where the point is to get to know someone and develop a bond with them, rather than to exchange factual information to get a task done. And yes, I'm aware that the latter does create real bonds between people, and can be an awesome solution for men who are not comfortable talking about their feelings. But I prefer to skip this "pretend we're actually only getting together to do stuff" part and cut right to the getting personal part.

    Talking about my feelings, It took a bit to be able to do it but now I can have conversations with my friends a majority of them being girls about how I feel about things or how I am doing mentally. So many guys don't understand the benefit of just venting away frustrations, ever since my bros and I have been having deep psychological discussions about how we feel we have changed so much. we are more responsible and level headed and we know that our plans our big and that it is taxing mentally and that sometimes all you need is a hug and a good talk.

    as a girl, men with rings, makeup, skirts, and crop tops look hot if styled well. rings look totally masculine; makeup can emphasize strong facial features; skirts bring attention to the legs; crop tops show us that fabulous midsection that I love whether chubby and squishy or ab-ulous. Even feminine men are attractive. I believe most of us find confidence and personality more attractive than physicality or material goods

    Not unmasculine per se but I can’t get enough of Ru Paul’s Drag Race. Entertainment, bitchiness, drama, humour...what’s not to like!

    You don't have to be on the LGBTQIA spectrum to enjoy Drag Race. It's a great show for the art alone, but it also shows the human side, and I think we need more of that in our world. Representation matters.

    Whats unmasculine about watching a show? I watch it and don't find it effects anything to do with my masculinity. I talk about it to my mates. We usual laugh our backsides off at the lipsyncing.

    Uhhh...My super manly husband loved Gilmore Girls. You know why? Because he's also extremely intelligent and a writer, and the screenwriting for that show was BRILLIANT.

    Long time ago I used to stop at my sister's brother in law's house most Friday nights - it was much closer to town. Saturday's, we had breakfast and watched Gilmore girls together. To this day, he still holds that was for me (it wasn't, I did quite like it - but no reason to stay at his and watch it except to cover for him)

    "so it is ok". Do you mean it's okay for a guy to listen to her because she's a bit dark? Edit: I just hope you're not saying if her songs would be less strong that it would not be okay for a guy to listen to her songs.

    This has nothing to do with masculinity but big huge time no on sara bareilles. It’s like listening to a 3 minute hallmark card.
