I'm disinterested in sports.

[-] Cheems@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Same, couldn't care less.

I'll watch the Xgames highlights and skate videos on youtube, but other than that, I can't think of the last sporting event I watched that wasn't a work related outing.

Very little interest in sex.

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

A superpower I wish I had been born with.

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 13 points 10 months ago

I cook real meals with veggies and all, eat them over a few days. "cooking for one" is stupid.

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 8 points 10 months ago

I know so many single men and women who say they don't cook because cooking for one is stupid. I cook mostly for myself, that doesn't mean you have to eat it on the same day.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 0 points 10 months ago

I cook for myself but it usually means a week's worth of leftovers. And by day 4 I'd much rather just go get a burger or some Chinese takeout than eat the same leftovers for the fourth day in a row.

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Cook two different things on one day, so you can switch things up each day. If the food doesn't stay fresh that long then freeze some portions, then next week cook one more dish while you still have leftovers so you can keep mixing up meals and not get tired of it.

i've had a good chunk of women tell me enjoying to cook means I'm secretly gay.

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Every guy I've dated has been a slob, unfortunately. My brother however, is very tidy. He's also one of the most emotionally intelligent people I know. He's fantastic at being supportive.

My place is organized when I’m single. When I’m in a relationship it gets messy cuz I don’t spend as much time there

[-] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 10 months ago

I have a hard time cleaning when I'm not the source of the mess

[-] sznowicki@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

I don’t change underwear once a few days. I used to in the past but since I live with my wife she made me change it every day.

[-] Buildout@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

This sounds like the stereotype exactly applies to you.

Good joke if it was one though.

[-] numberfour002@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

As for the cleanliness thing, it's really a spectrum based on my experience. If you are out there seeing enough homes of single men, you'll probably see that.

But also, if a person (man, woman, or otherwise) thinks there's a chance another person may come over who otherwise isn't a part of their day to day life, then there's a much higher than normal chance that they'll ensure their place is in better than average state. So, there's a lot of potential for bias in this particular metric.

As for male stereotypes that don't apply to me? I'm not really into boobs and they don't do much for me. Meh. I'm not into sports, don't watch them, don't read about them, don't care about them. Couldn't even tell you what's going on with them at this moment.

[-] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

right? my place is not a sty, but i clean once a week usually and by day 6 it's dirty. i also leave random shit out everywhere. clutter does not bother me.

but of course i will clean extra if folks are coming over. and i de-clutter.

what i don't like is when folks have a house that is set like it's for a magazine shoot. that creeps me out... and many women I date... tha tis their 'standards' for a 'good home'... one that is beiged out and looks like it's staged for a real estate ad... it's gross.

[-] Vaggumon@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

I remember birthdays, anniversaries, and other important dates. I also spend time considering and looking for thoughtful gifts that will fit the person and not just be something they toss out right away.

[-] peterf@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

The scatter cushions are used to cover the holes in the lounge.

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Watching sports with a beer. I don't drink beer and prefer lifting or cycling to watching.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I lookup coking ideas online (not just grilling) and like to try lots of different meals, although admittedly not so much when my kids are at their Mom’s.

Righ now I’m frustrated because I found a great idea for gnocchi that’s similar to something my younger son likes … and I just found out he’s cutting carbs

[-] InterestingSignal723@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I do not follow sports, but do enjoy playing sports or being outdoors. I also like to be organized and don't pretend to be careless about things.

[-] Adeptus@piefed.social 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I have zero interest in cars, I don't like watching sports.

[-] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I keep my home pretty tidy/clean

I always ask for help and advice

Don't care for sports really

I tend to dress nicely when not at work

I'm not very rambunctious (the boys will be boys stereotype)

I can cook pretty well

Am typically quite good at planning and/or remembering dates and surprises

I am a romantic

Edit:formatting

[-] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

All of them pretty much. like 1/3 of the women I date think I'm gay because I'm not the 'typical guy they date'. The only stereotype i kind of fufill is not giving a shit about dressing well and fashion. oh and i like video games.
