10 'Girly' Things All Guys Secretly Do

10 "Girly" Things All Guys Secretly Do. We’re going to talk about something that feels a little taboo. For some reason, there’s a clear separation of gender in our society. Girls are supposed to enjoy getting their nails done and doing their makeup. On the other hand, boys are supposed to love working on cars and getting dirty. That’s what a lot of us grew up to think, but things aren’t as cut and dry as the average person thinks.  

Sometimes, women like to work on cars or tinker with an engine. Heck, some women can play sports better than men in their respective field! On the other hand, it’s messed up to claim that men don’t like to get pampered. Let’s be honest. Everyone loves to get pampered. We feel happy when we take care of ourselves whether it’s getting a manicure, exfoliating, or making sure our eyebrows stay in check.

We’re here to say that there are guys that do typically “girly” things. At the end of the day, some of these things are just fun. A guy may want to mock the film Mean Girls, but it’s a hilarious movie. Anyone that watches it will be quoting words and phrases. It’s just relatable, okay?

These are some things that women and men do but are typically labelled as “girly.” We’re here to say that you should do what makes you happy whether you’re a girl who hates makeup or a guy that adores bubble baths.  

Posing in Front of a Mirror

Posing in Front of a Mirror

Women have made it pretty well-known through the use of selfies that they love posing in front of the mirror, but men enjoy posing like fashion models, too. If you walk in on your boyfriend or brother getting ready in the bathroom, don’t be surprised if he is sticking his hip out and running his fingers through his hair. 

Plucking and Waxing Their Eyebrows

Plucking and Waxing Their Eyebrows

Eyebrow trends are typically geared towards women, but people forget that many men have to groom their eyebrows to prevent the dreaded unibrow. Next time you see a guy with a little patch of red skin between his eyebrows, you’ll know that he understands that beauty is pain (at least a little bit). 

Using Tinted Moisturizer

Tinted moisturizer is a great, low-coverage way to conceal blemishes or an uneven skin tone, but some people freak out at the idea of men wearing this kind of makeup. Why? If a guy wants to cover up a pimple or just look radiant for a night of bar hopping, he should be able to! 

Using a Sugar Scrub

Using a Sugar Scrub

A vast majority of women have a regular skincare routine they use to keep their skin soft and moisturized. A high percentage of men enjoy using products like sugar scrubs as well. A sugar scrub instantly softens the skin, so it’s no surprise that men enjoy having hands that are as soft as a baby’s bottom. 

 

Getting a Manicure

Getting a Manicure

“Getting a manicure” is traditionally known as a female activity, yet men enjoy getting their hands pampered too! Men may not have the manicurist paint their nails a wild shade of orange (or they may), but there’s no doubt that an hour of exfoliating, massaging, and buffing relaxes men just as much as it does women.

Watching Chick Flicks

Watching Chick Flicks

They call them “chick flicks,” but we know more than a few men who love these types of movies more than women do. If a guy wants to veg out, eat a bowl of popcorn, and drink a couple beers whilst watching the likes of Amanda Bynes in She’s the Man, he should go for it! A guy’s gotta relax!

Taking Bubble Baths

Taking Bubble Baths

So many movies depict women enjoying a bubble bath with a book and a glass of wine in hand, but they ignore the fact that bubble baths are extremely enjoyable for all genders. When you combine hot water, aromatic bubbles, a glass of Merlot, and a good book, something magical happens! This joy should not be denied to anyone.

Watching Trashy Reality TV

Guys always complain that girls are “so dramatic,” but they won’t admit that they enjoy trashy reality TV drama just as much as we do. It’s fun to laugh at the antics of Kim & Kourtney or wait in anticipation to find out who the Bachelor is going to choose. Stop hiding your reality TV love, guys! It’s everyone’s guilty pleasure.

Jamming Out to Taylor Swift

Jamming Out to Taylor Swift

When you imagine a car full of guys headed to Vegas for a bachelor party, you probably envision them listening to Kendrick Lamar or Future, but you’re wrong. They’re most likely jamming out to Taylor Swift´s “Shake It Off.” They can’t help it; her songs are catchy! All of us need a little dose of T-Swift from time to time to help us channel our inner pop star. 

Drinking Fruity Cocktails

Drinking Fruity Cocktails

You will never see a guy order a Mai Tai or a Strawberry Daiquiri at the bar, but the same can’t be said for when they’re at home. When they’re away from judgey eyes, many men will enjoy a frou-frou drink because they certainly taste a heck of a lot better than a whiskey and Coke!
