What are some things men do that girls don't?

Have a bad aim and miss the toilet.

Leave pubic hairs in the shower.

Organise their CD collection alphabetically.

Need I go on?

Don't agree with that one. My hubby drives me up the wall with his inability to even put each CD/DVD in any casing! Let alone the right one and into the order where it was before he took it...

But "On" topic;

I really can't think of anything that only men do that women never do at all...
but what "mostly" is a male thing to do;
- Belch in public.
- Go through whatever store they shop in, in as an efficient manner as possible.
- Drink out of the carton/bottle, then close it and put it back in the fridge.
- Scratch/Adjust themselves in public.
- Pee standing up.

Well there are also specific ways of gesturing that guys do and girls do not. A lot of guys remain more stiff when gesturing, girls tend to be very loose with their arm gestures and have a specific way of standing (usually leaning on one leg) what I've noticed of men is that they usually do not lean or if they do it's more subtle than how girls do.

ALSO when a guy sits the legspan is much wider on a chair and he rests his leg on his knee while the natural gesture for a girl is to cross her legs, tuck one leg behind the other, or keep the knees together as much as possible.

When sitting across from one another in a restaurant booth, women will generally sit directly opposite one another, while men will generally sit diagonally across from one another.  Probably has to do with guys having longer legs, though.

I've been observing the male students at my school closely. I've noticed that 1) most stand with their feet turned out, 2) standing up or sitting down, they'll cross their feet at the ankle and rest the toe of the topmost foot on the ground, 3) older males will cross their legs knee-over-knee when sitting down but the younger ones tend to sit either with their knees apart or with their legs crossed at the ankles (usu. stretched out in front of them). I've been trying to emulate all/most of the behaviors I observe to try to re-socialize myself (I don't know how successful I am, though. >_>).

Men tend to take up more space than women I've noticed.

for example sitting on a long train seat, men will sit towards the middle, legs apart, elbows on the legs, taking up pretty much the whole seat.

women will sit on the edge of the seat and either sit with their legs neatly together or with the legs crossed.

Definitely true but plenty of women do this also (*grumbles about people on airplanes*)

Ok since I do most of these things  I guess I really am a guy. I must add I DO NOT do the following, miss the toilet when peeing or belch in public.

Argh... topics like this drive me nuts, because for every man who exhibits a particular behavior, there's a woman who does the same. The only traits you can say are stereotypically "male" or "female" are those imposed by culture, with the exception of anything tied directly to physiology. Men don't typically cross their legs at the knee because it can hurt the goods (my male friends have told me this). They stand up to pee because it's more efficient that way, and their anatomy allows for it. However, I've known plenty of girls who do the same, whether it be due to dirty public restrooms or personal preference.

When I first went full-time, I had trans friends asking me how I was acting more masculine. My answer? If I had to try to act more masculine, wouldn't that say that perhaps I wasn't really a guy, after all? Gay men defy gender barriers all the time, as do effeminate straight men. I have no problem being myself, and the only thing I distinctly recall doing to pass better as a man was to make sure not to do those things I had done previously in order to show people that I was supposedly female.
