H.E. I know you are going through a lot and no idea how to support you but if you blogged on here I would read it. that is a lot you are experiencing right now
I guess to take a stab at your question:
I am sure I would have both culturally and physically. I am a really physical guy even at my old age. If I had less muscle on me I probalby would have scaled it back a bit.
On a culture standpoint I probably would have picked different hobbies and interests.
The things that I currentl do that coudl be seen as femine, is creative writing, huge compassion for animals and more specifically cats and I do yoga and pilates. I dont know anything about ball sports.
for things that I do that are totally dude ish--I have no fashion sense. Matching socks is a good day for me. I am messy. I almost never cry. I have a ton of sparring expience from my youth and probably been punched in the face more than 95 percent of the population
I don't really react as much as others (of either gender) to cold or heat. I wear shorts when it is 50 out and drink hot coffee when I mow the lawn in the summer . I mean I get cold and I get hot but my tolerance for it seems higher than most peoples. outside of writing I have almost no appreciation for the arts.
Maybe some of those woudl have been different.
Oddly though giong back to the physical thing I don't think most guys over 50 both on here and in real life would not make it through a 45 minute pilates class So maybe I woudl have been physical still but in a different way.
