In Homer, crying loud and hard is actually portrayed as something many. Achilles was "like a lion" in his grief over Patroclus.

lol good one.

The gender/color appellations are entirely artificial and have changed over time.

I've never heard someone say that in person, it's always been TV or something like BP. Not sure if this idea is more real or fictional.

My definition is that a real man does what he wants to, not what people tell him to do.

This isn't actually "masculine". This is something insecure men do.

I'd like to go to the lake and just stare at the water.

drop the 'one uppers' from your life.

Definitely not for me.

I loved spending time with my kids. I wish I could have taken 10 - 15 years off back then and work into my old age. Why do we save retirement for the old, when we know that getting out and doing stuff is the best thing for older people? Young people should be home with the kids.

I'm a lover not a fighter...but I'm not good at that either lol

Again, not masculine. This is insecurity and both men and women do this.

nevermind the brain injury issue.

Never got the appeal of these.

The whole sports business is just nonsense. Live your own life, people. Don't live vicariously through your favorite team.

I like a good cigar ocassionally. Usually as a bit of a celebration for myself.

That's not masculine, it's cowardly insecurity.

Last night my husband put on a sports channel and two guys were in the ring. He knows I don't like boxing or wrestling but he says 'give this a chance' LOL it was the pillow fighting championship!

What a sad life that must be for those men.

Agreed! Now, get me on a mini-golf course and I'll play that over and over.

Yeah or having kids you've got no intention of raising.

I have a (female) friend who advocates "all off below the nose" and insisted her daughter follow suit as soon as she turned 14. I just hate the thought of it - ok if it's your choice, but to enforce it on others is too much.

I'm pretty much convinced that like 80% of people who drink only do so because it's "social norm" and peer pressure.

I love visiting places in nature. But I go to places I can drive to and sleep in my van.

I ride a Harley. Prefer them because they're usually easier to find parts for. Never give anyone grief for riding something else, though

I remember that a bourbon magazine decided to have a massive taste test of all sorts of whiskeys. Most really cheap bourbons did poorly, but one called "Ancient Age" won the golden prize (I can't find the original citation - but this taster found that a cheap bourbon called "Zackariah Harris" beat some really expensive competitors: https://abcfws.com/blind-bourbon-taste-test?srsltid=AfmBOooms9gmO5jkUQS0tH4h1bq-6WVrXB2Dl37l9jimzUUIJDri6EPe)

I do like cars though, you wouldn't see me attaching my self worth to an automobile I own but in general I do like cars. Some are quite nice. My favorite car is a 99 Civic hatchback coupe, enjoyed every minute I had it but I'm not gonna hate people if they're not a fan of cars.

It's not about wanting to do them, it's about wanting the end result and being able to achieve it without shelling out shedloads of money to get a professional to do it.

I think the types have changed, and it is no longer typically masculine! Or at least the gap in number of players by sex is closing generation by generation! There is still however from both personal experience and stats, a clear divide in each sexes population by game genre! -Fifa type games (the one seen in the pic) are mostly guys. -Animal crossing games are mostly gals. There are also genres that are pretty 50/50. I would say Rpgs are pretty 50/50 now.

Nothing masculine about that. Just good tasting food my wife doesn't need to cook. (tho, I do 90% of cooking. She's not a bad cook, just indifferent to flavor)
