It’s one thing for a male to dress nice and care about fashion, but combine that with soft interests/hobbies and well sarcastically he could be one craft beer away from switching teams.

So? How does that bother anyone? Just because a guy is gay or feminine doesnt mean he wants to sleep with you.

I assume that some women don’t like a femania guy because they want someone that’s practical and can do manly things without worrying about their pores or getting a blood blister.

The sad part is some of these women that like these guys don’t find out how useless they are until something manly needs to be done. But hey they do know how to hook up that PS4 in record time.

Agree, see here is part of the problem. People are quick to use the label feminine men as soon as they see a man doing anything that is traditionally associated with women and that is wrong. I was raised that way back in the 70's and 80's and there were attitudes and mentalities that existed back then that I disagree with now as I get older. I believe men have as much right to take care of themselves and feel good as women do without being ridiculed or critizized. Being a man is something that goes far beyond looks or fashion. Maybe one day our society will grow up and realize that life can be better when we are open minded and not so quick to judge the book by its cover.

I mean ask yourself, who made these things 'feminine' to begin with? Human society did, there's nothing innately feminine about that. In some cultures it is actually men who wear makeup, and in the animal world it's usually males who are the more eye-catching, colourful, 'pretty' gender (think peacocks.etc).

I think there are too many men who buy into the idea that fashion and appearances and looking beautiful is a female domain. This restricted 1950s view of the world will change one day, everything changes. I guess I feel women here at least seem very conservative in terms of their idea of male beauty. Basically men should be 'men' with the very narrow man-made definition.
I think that in regards to body hair removal, the reason that it might be perceived as feminine is because females at least generally have less body hair than males.

I do agree with your overall point here, though. I don't see why males shouldn't be able to do these things simply because some/many females also do them. After all, many males (including myself) want to try our best to look nice, to smell nice, et cetera.

By "switching teams", do you mean getting a sex change? Pursuing (romantic) relationships with other males? Something else?

I am sorry, but I am a little confused here on what exactly you mean here by your "switching teams" phrase.

As a side note, though, I don't care if a biological male gets a sex change, begins pursuing (romantic) relationships with other males, et cetera. After all, these things don't hurt and/or kill anyone, and thus, I don't see why exactly these things should be my business.

^

Agreed.

Also, as a side note, even if a gay wants to sleep with you, it does not mean that he will force you to sleep with him if you don't want to do this.

LOL! A man (or even a woman, as in a trans-woman) can have a dick and still be incredibly feminine.
