in the conventional sense i am bad at being a man

i just realized i am not into the things men usually are:
hunting (i don't even eat meat)
guns
sports
cars ( i don't even drive)
building things
i am a pre school teacher aid
i write poetry
i have made a candle
i love scented candles like a fiend
i watch starting over when i can
i cry at "chick flicks"
so by americas cultural standards i must suck at being a man.
should i feel bad about that? anyone else feel that way? why is there no word for men who are like this but women can have the title "tomboys"?

I think the word youre looking for is girlieman

Do you pee standing up?

We usually just call it a touch of teh geigh.

i thought that meant men who try to be men but just can't pull it off

I think I love you!!!!!!

No its guys who dont live up to the traditional idea of what a man is.

Youre saying youre a girlieman.

Also, I find it hard to believe that you "just realized" this. C'mon!

for real. it's not like i ever really noticed or think about it.

Girlieman is almost universally slanderous in my experience. There exists no neutral term.

Good. Continue to bge yourself. Fuck anyone who thinks your less of a man for having a soul.

You could also call yourself a dandy. Personally, I love the word dandy.

See you are the one with the negative attitude towards men.

Men do have souls even if we dont cry at beaches lol

well in that way i am not a dandy

i dress like a homeless person

I'm pretty much all those things, too (except that I love sports and can build things). But I don't feel the least bit bad about it. I don't think it has any real bearing on my being a "man."

"America's cultural standards" are constantly changing, hopefully evolving. If we worried about meeting standards, great things like this site would never exist.

And don't EVER EVER feel bad for who you are!

well i can build but i don't like it

"Starting Over"?

alright dude do you like pussy or dont you like pussy?

ha ha ha, dandy is the way to go.

femmy. metrosexual. Who cares? Traditional concepts of men are rooted in killing stuff and being emotionally handicapped. Be you, be cool, rock on.

yeah i think it's the best idea for a TV show it's a show were they put like 6 women in a house with life coaches and they work on their problems it's really interesting

You are in a world where emo guys and metrosexuals are rampant, so it's not that big a deal.
