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.

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.

Somebody Asked Men Online “What Male Stereotypes Don’t Apply To You?”, 33 Delivered 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.

Somebody Asked Men Online “What Male Stereotypes Don’t Apply To You?”, 33 Delivered 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.

Somebody Asked Men Online “What Male Stereotypes Don’t Apply To You?”, 33 Delivered 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.

I've never had my own place before. Moved out when I got married and we started out living with other people. My ex wife didn't really help with keeping our space tidy. I did the best I could to keep it presentable. Now that I have my own room again, I keep that tidy and clean up after myself in common spaces. But when I do get my own place, best believe it will be tidy

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.

It’s very sad we keep making these stupid “that’s a man thing”, “that’s a girl thing” stereotypes. My first boyfriend did crochet. 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.
