Hiding emotion. F**k that. If I’m happy I’m gonna laugh. If I’m heartbroken I’m gonna cry. If you think that’s unmanly, I don’t care. Because I think it is more manly to be real than it is to present a façade to the world.

I generally don’t wear high heels or powdered wigs… wait, how “traditional” are we talking?
The definition of what is or isn’t masculine. I’m a man, born this way, heterosexual and I will wear that pink shirt that I really like, because I just don’t care if that somehow makes me less masculine.
Multiple boomers have bragged about never changing a diaper. I would be too embarrassed to show my face again if I never changed my kids diaper.
Proving my masculinity. If somebody says I’m “not a real man” because I refuse to do X arbitrary thing, I’m happy to shrug and say “okay.”.
Talking about women like objects.
In fact, with sports, everything is far from clear - and the results of the research only confirm that the world is far from being as crazy aboutprofessional sportsas it was just a couple of decades ago. At least, the sports audience is getting older, and young people often choose completely differenthobbiesfor themselves.
Fishing: it’s gross, boring, and I feel bad for the fish. Plus I don’t like fish.
Being super competitive when I’m hanging out with guys who are supposed to be my friends. Can’t we just relax and have a good time without needing to outdo each other in everything? .
Hunting.
I really don’t feel the specific need to be the breadwinner… don’t get me wrong of course I want to work for my money. But if I would ever find myself in the situation where my gf (or wife) would earn enough for a family and would prefer to work, while I manage the household and or children, I’d be more than happy to do so.
Fighting.
The NFL. 18-22 minutes of actual playing motion in 2.5 - 3 hours. Endless beer ads (for s****y brew). So f*****g boring.
“Public opinion and people’s beliefs change over time - and the digitalization of society only accelerates these processes,” says Valery Bolgan, a historian andeditor-in-chiefof Intent news agency from Ukraine, whomBored Pandaasked for a comment here. “And if before, a trend needed months and even years to spread around the world - and some faded away even earlier, now it happens almost instantly.““Accordingly, in developed countries, where the service sector allows you to order almost any activity on the side, there is no real need for many of the things that made a man ‘a man’ centuries ago. In thehistoricalsense of the word, of course.”

Being agressieve and intimidating.
Strip clubs.
Sports.
Cigars. I get why people like them, but they are expensive, smell awful, produce a ton of smoke I end up inhaling anyway, and feel like more of a status symbol than something that should be smoked regularly anyway. A whole lot of hype for an oversized cigarette that’ll make you vomit and/or feel sick if you accidentally inhale, or just get too much at once.
Having control over my gf/spouse.
UFC.
Voluntary self-restriction. Just in general.I won’t avoid mai tais and cosmos and have just Coors Light at every party, just because. I won’t refuse to watch Rachael Ray just because. I won’t limit my film choices to action films just because.Voluntary self-restriction is very much traditionally masculine. Which is in no way a synonym of healthy.
Golf.That st is f***g boring (to play and watch).I used to work for Titlelist/Footjoy and that just made me hate it that much more 😂.
Ignoring my kids when I have them.
Being overly hairy, I shave my pits because I have the smell if I don’t, and I shave my chest because I just prefer the look over a hairy chest.

Beer (alcohol in general) .
Camping, can’t see the joy in purposely inconveniencing myself for fun.
Riding Harley Davidson motorcycles. There is a whole generation of d***hebags that has made me lose all interest in them and the culture that comes with it.
Bourbon. $50 bottle. $5,000 bottle. They all make me wanna puke .
Home improvements, renovations, dyi, landscaping, yard work, or building/repairing anything. For the record, I know how to do this stuff. I just don’t have the time or energy and I don’t want to.
Cars.
Gaming
Grilling.
