Ever notice how society loves to slap on stereotypes faster than you can blink? Like, who decided that certain things are “too girly” for guys to enjoy? Well, Reddit’s been buzzing lately with men candidly spilling the beans on all those “for girls only” hobbies and quirks they admit to loving. From secretly enjoying floral-scented lotions to embracing the art of ballet or even rocking a purse without a care in the world—it’s a refreshing throwback to authenticity amidst a sea of rigid gender expectations.

So, forget the stereotypes for a moment and dive into a world where men proudly claim their “too girly” favorites without shame or shame-faced apologies.

Stereotypes heaped on top of even more stereotypes.

I’m a guy with hair down to the bottom of my shoulder blades. One evening, I was hanging out with a bunch of friends when one of them decided she wanted to braid my hair. Oh my God did it feel amazing! I love the feeling of someone else playing with my hair.
Crying and showing strong emotion is not something I like but everyone always says “boys don’t cry” and I’m sick of that.
“Even the most popular and most liked people in the world are negatively judged. There’s no escaping being judged. So, you just have to do what you want to do in life. You are here to live your own life on your own terms, not the life that others seem to want you to live.”
He continued: “It may upset some people, but they are not living your life. They don’t feel the way you feel. You’ve just got to go ahead and spend your time doing the things you really want to do deep down.”
Some women’s bodywash/soaps/lotions. The men’s stuff just smell like overaggressive nose-destroyers. The fact that these products are marketed to two different sexes doesn’t even make sense…
Ballet. I’ve always liked the look of ballet dancing, and when I was 20, after I got into amateur theatre, I started training in ballet. I’ve been very fit most of my life, I played football for 10 years, won athletics at school and I cycled everyday. Out of all the fitness training I have done over the years, Ballet is by the far the most difficult “fitness training” I have ever done, and a h**l of a lot more fun than anything else.
“If a woman goes on a date with a guy who loves to knit, arrange flowers around the house, fuss over his sense of fashion and wear a little make up to look at good as he can, she may worry that he could secretly be gay or bisexual. She may not be right, but she could suspect that based on the way he thinks and behaves,” relationship expert Dan explained.
I haven’t seen this yet, so… color. I feel like society wants me to to just wear black/grey/white/navy blue, and it’s stupid. I have a pair of pink jeans that i love!!
Skincare! Using basic toner, moisturizer, and sun screen. It has long been considered ‘girly’ to do these but it leads to interesting conversations with girls! Also it feels good to have a routine before bed and taking care of my skin!
