I definitely don’t subscribe to gendered interests. That said, there are activities that are commonly seen as more masculine or more feminine. So now I’m curious, what are some interests, hobbies, or guilty pleasures typically deemed as feminine or more commonly enjoyed by women that you like, or want to get into?
My best friend got me into crocheting blankets to donate in the winter and I’m loving it. So far I’m the only guy in our college crochet club though.
She also has me watching a podcast where two women discuss internet drama and call their fanbase girlies.

I’m not sure if this counts, but I’m becoming a fan of wine and reading as I get older. Not at the same time but that’s fun, too. I know anybody can, and does enjoy both, but that’s it for me
My partner has got me interested in watching Figure Skating
On the women’s side, it’s a bunch of athletic and fit girls dancing around
On the men’s side, the sport is beginning to have more athletes who are doing insane gymnastics routines on ice skates
I’m a 36 m, and I really love baking bread lol. I dunno if that counts
I love me some Charli XCX and Carly Rae Jepsen
Would reading romance count? I feel like historically, romance literature has been seen “a woman’s thing” (at least here in America). I have been reading romance literature since I was like 14 or so (thanks mom, even if she was never aware of it). First it was romance novels, but after a long hiatus, I’ve gotten into reading romance manga/manhwa. A lot of it just makes me feel relaxed, you know? There’s something sweet about a guy and a lady getting together and really bonding.
A lot of skincare
Why?
Taylor Swift and Avril Lavigne.
I crochet dolls and things for my kids. I also sell some of them. My individual experiences with female crocheters have been almost universally positive, but I’ve been a part of groups where one woman’s bad experience with a man turns into a feeding frenzy of male bashing.
I want a greenhouse, but in the sense that I want to build my wife one. I like wine, but in the Sam Jackson beer sense that it’ll get you drunk, and you’ll find curvy companions forthwith.
I like watching romcoms. I’m stressed most of the time due to work and how generally shit everything in the world is right now, if I watch a movie, I want something that’ll make me feel better, not worse.
I love charlotte dobres yt… It’s like my biggest guilty pleasure.
Cleaning my arse too is apparently feminine according to reddit.
I like flower gardens and skin care.
Edit:
Hair care too.
I love cocktails and pop music.
My older sister visited me for the first time in LA (we’re in our 30s), and she kept saying I was metrosexual Becuase I like to clean my house and keep it clean, I wear matching clothes, and like to cook fancy meals even if I’m alone. Not sure if these are feminine interests, but she couldn’t wrap her head around it since her boyfriend is a dirtbag mechanic that only wears hoodies and predominately eats fast food. Want ing a clean house, matching clothes, and good food seemed pretty normal to me.
Brunch.
I have fallen into the dark romance books.
I don’t even feel bad though.
I do crochet and I’m learning to make a bunch of things on my own.
I taught myself to knit as a way to stay busy when it’s too cold to do woodworking in an unheated shop. I absolutely love it. It’s meditative and scratches the same itch as gaming I think. I also adore historic dramas, most of which are geared as historical romances for women.
I like pressing and framing flowers.
I’ll be bombing down trails while mountain biking and stop suddenly to take pictures of flowers (especially mountain Laurel or rhododendron).
Skincare.
Paint nails occasionally.
Have watched ALL of Ru Paul’s Drag Race.
And my favorite colour is purple- Also I’m a heterosexual Carpenter by trade
I love me a good Taylor swift album
Long baths with fancy bath bombs and what not
Those Hallmark romance movies. So corny, and most of em would be 5 minutes long if the couple sat down and talked to each other, but I love em.
Golden Girls, General Hospital and the other one that’s not General Hospital but is basically General Hospital, and Charmed are things I watch with my mom.
I use nails polish about every three weeks or so ( or whenever work fucks em up enough I need to redo them) after a very deep cleaning in the shower. I actually got complimented on them last year by a coworker, another dude, so that was cool.
I like pop music. I’m pretty sure most of the 767 songs I have are pop.
K-pop
I’m a gourmet cook. I’m into wine and am considering taking a sommelier class from a top sommelier just for the fun of it.
I’m into skincare. I exfoliated the soles of my feet today!
I like to listen to house music, lots of women singers.
I’m very straight!
Pleasure? Yes. Guilty? Huh? Why would that be a thing?
