What is something your gender is known for, but you have never identified with/liked?

Doing nails and hair. I like doing my nails once in a while, but I do not do them often, nor do I go to pricey nail salons Lol.

Know how to fix things. I wouldn't know which end of a screw driver to hold.
I don't like football.
I actually know how to cook and clean.
I don't mind shopping.
Beer is gross, I don't drink it or much of any alcohol actually.
A woman can appear topless before me and I can maintain eye contact. Although I may blush and giggle like a child afterwards.

@Thevy29 [quote]Beer is gross, [/quote] ok , just quick sidebar your Panda has a beer belly.......

fun thread;

i am not into ball sports. I don't have a fantasy football draft or know anything about any of teams. Did not follow March Madness.

I am not much of a drinker. Almost never drink.

i am over 50 and can still touch my toes and hold my hands behind my back. Think it is ok to have some flexabilty in older age as a man.

love dogs but really a big cat guy. Can bond not just with my cats but with most people's cat. I even did cat sitting in the last few years

don't feel a need to act tough. I don't really find value in posturing as a man.

@Badjujubee that is kind of you to say

I should have added this too. Wise words.

Like half of it. Being hairy, driving and maintaining fancy cars, violence, all that nonsense.
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
Same. If I do my nails, it is generally just clear polish and trimmed fairly short. My hair is pretty basic. Shoulder length or slightly more. Down straight or in a Navy bun.
JustNik · 51-55, F
The whole manicure/pedicure/spa/massage stuff gives me the willies. Couldn’t do it. I’m not a domestic goddess, I’m a hit n miss cook, suck at crafts, kill a distressing number of plants, would break my neck trying to walk in stilettos, and my sister had to teach me how the garters worked when I was getting dressed for my wedding. And I’m not at all fond of pink. 😑
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@JustNik Thank you! I am not good at crafts either!! Nor did I ever enjoy them in school or Girl Scouts lol. I have owned two pairs of heels in my life lol.

Same here, have never been to a nail salon. I couldn’t tolerate the chemicals they use for the nails even if I wanted to get them. Some of those chemicals are carcinogens. I knew a girl who lost her mother to cancer caused by the chemicals she used in a nail salon, her mother was in her early 30’s. I am also sensitive to formaldehyde in nail products…causes me to have bronchitis for as long as it is on my nails. I bought something to make them grow and that’s what happened.

I’m not into fancy jewelry either. I think it’s pretty when others wear it but I’ve never been one to fuss around worrying about what if I lose something like that. I worked with someone who was either losing a diamond or an earring falling out etc.
Jeephikelove · 46-50, F
I’ve never really been a girly girl. I don’t wear dresses (well very rarely), I don’t wear makeup, I don’t really do my hair or I don’t get fake nails.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
Taking hours and hours to get ready to go out…
clothes shopping in a town, I hate it. I want to get what I need and get the hell out of there!

Sports. Sweaty men moving a ball around has never piqued my interest, as a participant or spectator.
HumanEarth · 56-60, F

@HumanEarth Walk on your hands.. whoa!! :)
HumanEarth · 56-60, F
@Coralmist Yes, I was teaching my grandkids this weekend on how to do it

Make-up, jealousy, being rude to other women.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
Hair salons,
eye lash extensions -i my own have lashes
Nail extensions -i have my own nails
Heavy makeup -all I use is a skin tint. I'd rather work on my skin than slather paint on it.
There's probably more but that's all for now
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
I don't talk much,give short answers,and am confused a lot about socializing.
Stereotype is women talk a lot ,are more social,and give unnecessary details.

Stereotype All women are into nails and hair styles

I never do anything but trim my nails and I brush my hair,but doing it up,not really.

One that fits.. Women like shoes 👟👟

Waxing hair and other unnecessary painful, expensive or time-consuming (allegedly) beautifying procedures. Why torturing yourself?

Obsession with/admiration of serial killers and other evil harmful men.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
Same here. What cosmetics I have are applied at home, to my own tastes. I hate the idea of spending money and hours in the hands of a professional. Much more fun to do make up with my daughter anyway 🙂
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
I don’t need my nails done (unless I’m going somewhere special or on a trip) do I buy expensive, brand name clothing
Wearing a lot of make-up. I prefer to be natural. A little mascara and some chap stick works for me.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@DreamyCrush I think my favorite mascara has been discontinued. Everything else I've ever tried feels brittle on my lashes, gets crumbly throughout the day and falls into my eyes, burns my eyes or blurs my vision.
Mega plush is the only one that didn't. It actually felt like my natural lashes after it dried. 😔
Julien · 36-40, M
Idk 🤷 but I hate the therm « alpha male»
Badjujubee · 46-50, F
@Julien foolish concept I agree.
Julien · 36-40, M
@Badjujubee sounds like a “ furry “ thing 😂

Same not into the salon for nails and typically just for my hair when it’s really long…

Driving big trucks.
@Allelse That's a good one. I have absolutely no interest in learning how to drive one of those abominations.

I have only a modest interest in professional sports. I am also not a handyman by any means.

And I couldn't care less about what car a person drives.
SW-User
Never wearing the same outfit twice. I can't afford a new wardrobe every week.
I’m a pianist and so keep my nails short. But I also don’t wear a lot of make up, unless for a special occasion. I dress modestly, I don’t really seek attention from strangers. I also consider myself a fairly logical person, so it annoys me a bit that women are stereotyped as being [b]illogical [/b].
I’m seen many more men behave illogically, especially in search of gratification.

Being confident, competent, a provider. Being the head of the household.
