Yes, i like dance video games now. I was at my sisters house yesterday and my nephews (5 & 6) were both playing Just Dance 2 and were busting out complicated moves to songs from artists like Soulja Boy and Justin Bieber etc. I couldn't believe how good they were, it was probably one of the most adorable sights i've ever witnessed. 


   I bought Just Dance 3 today for xbox and me & my roomate absolutely luv playing it! 

Wait, are dance games a typically gendered activity?  I don't feel like there's ever been one gender more dominant than another playing DDR, though I think I've only ever seen guys do that thing where they grab onto the bar on the back and use their feet like fingers to clear really hard songs.  That's always so lame to me.  Of all games to be concerned about winning over having fun...

    Yeah sorta, you don't see many guys dancing (straight men think it's gay lol) unless it's to impress a girl or something.   

    I used play more guyish video games like fps type of games.

Hey I was a gay and I used to dance before...

You are aware that Mikhail Baryshnikov got with more women then any 10 rock bands ever did.  Or, to pick on the other side of the cultural divide, I'd love for you to go down to where the B-Boys are doing their thing as ask them how gay they are.  That's just some white-crackerassed protestant suburban conformity stereotype.  Guys dance, matter of fact most of the world's most famous dancers are men, not women.  Some cultures only the men dance.  The only people who don't dance are the tragically repressed.

I think far too many of you know a world constructed on and for TV and nothing like reality where none of this stuff seems to exist on these ridged and uncrossable lines.

There's plenty of straight men who love to dance. I always meet them at clubs and stuff.

Half of the Deadheads were guys who liked to dance - not well, I'll give you that, but they were trying.

Didn't they become the Burning Men guys? Thats what happened when all the kids in high school who listened to Phish grew up. They all are into Juno Reactor now. They have this store in the upper Haight that is all techno and stuff. I miss that place, most trips to SF involve going to Church/Castro and NOT LEAVING.

I am sure you know from my fb page, I am really into metal. Is that considered masculine? I remember being a gay guy and I was the only gay man I knew who liked metal.

  Back on topic:  Nope, I just do those same things better!   π

my interests really have never changed
if it is geeky/nerdy then I like it.
video games, chess, reading etc...



Never been into sports, watching or playing.  Although I will watch UFC (GSP is AMAZINGLY hot lol).   

I have always been considered 'different' by those who know me, but most people attribute that to my
nerd status.

researchers know that if they put a group of little girls together they will mostly sit, play  and share quietly while a group of boys will be aggressive, competitive and noisy so its logical that estogen or testosterone will change behaviour or more likely allow it to come out.

When i was in recovery back in the 80's and 90's we had sober dance clubs back in phila pa and many men danced alone.. it was about exercise and there were no gays there that i ever met or heard about.

You are conflating two entirely unrelated things. Trans women who present a non-femme appearance are EXTREMELY rare, to the point of practically being a myth as far as most people are concerned. Yes, there happen to be a few on Susan's, which is very unusual. Placing interests and behaviour in the same group with presentation is, well, silly. Cause they don't go together.

I'm one of those very few who is non-femme in presentation; however, I don't have particularly masculine interests or behaviour. Actually my behaviour - the way I move, walk, talk, sit, etc. - is more than a little feminine.

Well, ok, let's put it this way: wouldn't it be nice to talk to a FTM who runs a nail or beautyparlor and claims it's a manly thing to do?
In comparison to MTF's who are heavily into guns, weapons, gunplay, baseball, big trucks and fast cars (and claims that's a girly to do?)

My interests have changed dramatically, I use to LOVE football, now I only put up with it at work since I work at a sports bar. I Still love basketball. One thing I do tons more is plan outfits. I already started planning my outfit for Coachella 2012 and I never would have done this as a boy at all. I use to be really into video games. Now the farthest I really go Is angry birds. Ive always loved throwing on a pottery wheel (still great at it too!)



I'm sure I'll think of other stuff and I'll Post it later

The shortest, most non-existent lines for women's bathrooms are at a Rush or Dream Theater show.

Yes, that's a much better way to put it. Can't really help with an answer though.

Perhaps you should go ask the guys if you really want to know. They don't come into this side of the forum very often.

I still like most of my old interests, but they were pretty fem by American Standards. I do enjoy not feeling like I need to hide them so much. I never cared for team sports, but loved working out, swimming, biking, and ballet. I enjoyed building and fixing things and I'll be taking a class in Gas Welding class this spring more for the metals arts aspect.

What I have noticed is that guys will now bring me busted stuff and sheepishly ask me to mend it-- like I was their mother or something-- as their haven't the hand-eye skills, nor the patience these days. This has been very unexpected!

  Yeah but they're trying to impress women by showing off their moves that's why they go to those dance club's in the first place, to pick up women lolz. I don't think your gonna find to many guys who like to dance just for the fun of it unless they're like a professorial dancer or in the music/entertainment business then yeah 4sure. There are straight guys who love to dance just for the fun of it but majority wise not so much lol. 

  I love to dance now way more then when i was living as a guy!

My friend and I went to the Castro one night to go dancing. This old straight man started humpin me when I was dancing. Like we had went to the club to avoid creepy old men...only to be accosted by them.

At least when I was gay, I could choose who humped me.

It is amusing how you always refer to Castro for your evidence and stories.
