Reddit user hmansloth asked: 'Men of Reddit, what is a traditionally masculine thing which you are not interested in?'

One would think in this progressive day and age, a man wouldn't need to defend his "manliness" or masculinity.

Unfortunately, there are still far too many (mostly ignorant) people who have very antiquated standards of masculinity.


That being said, no two men share all the same interestes.

And even the most utterly macho men might not actually be interested in hobbies and interests people immediately associate with manly men.

Redditor hmansloth was curious to learn about all which traditionally 'masculine" things don't actually interest men at all, leading them to ask:

"Men of Reddit, what is a traditionally masculine thing which you are not interested in?"

Anyone who tells someone they aren't a "real man" for liking or disliking something clearly feels insecure about their own masculinity.

Mainly owing to the fact that a "real man" couldn't care less if they don't measure up to someone's standards of masculinity.
