Gendered question, I know. If you don’t identify as a man, please feel free to answer with whatever you want. I meant to post it in the Men’s Lib sub but somehow it always bugs for me.

Let’s spill the tea lads

I like painting my nails.

I like gardening and I take great pride in my plants and upcoming indoor veggie and herb garden.

I dance when I go out.

I like bright colors.

I like candles that smell nice.

I like flowers.

I like Harry Styles.

I like crocheting.

Whatever you like, be proud of it. There is no such thing as liking something unmanly. Nothing can harm your manliness. Do what you want.

    I love knitting and sewing. It’s very relaxing and I love seeing what I make! Even better if I do a good enough job to wear it!

    I sleep basically every night with a stuffed animal that I received from a very close and important friend. (He’s also pink so it’s even more “unmanly”)

    Gardening is so fun! My cucumbers and tomatoes are coming along so well! (My watermelons not so much, only 1 of 4 have survived due to deer)

    Cleaning is very fun to me. Seeing things become clean is very rewarding, especially if I’m doing it for someone else close to me.

    Cooking is a very high interest of mine! Particularly baking!

    Painting my nails is also very fun and I can’t wait to do that more, as that’s sadly a dangerous thing to do where I live.

    Kissing other guys. This is either extreme manly in the eyes of the Greeks and Spartans, or extremely unmanly in the current western purview.

    I do funny little dances when I hear songs I like playing in the store.

      Okay, I love this; bc my partners have made a habit of getting me plushes related to the games in my library; and right now on my computer desk, there’s a Nookling, a Protoss probe, and a crocheted Cacodemon stacked atop each other like a totem pole of programmer’s rubber ducks. (I’ve even used them that way to clear some of my appdev classes.)
