Do you know a guy who LOVES working on cars, but wants to keep it a SECRET from his buddies because it’s not “cool” enough? Probably not. But they MIGHT hide other, less “masculine” things. Ladies, if you ever wonder what a guy really wants, this might give you some insight.
Recently, Redditor u/ostayi asked men of the Reddit community to share the things they secretly enjoy and would never admit to their friends, here’s the best stuff we found:
1. “I have stuffed animals and plushies from Squishmallow on my bed.”
2. Another person said, “Cute stuffed animals. Especially dinosaurs.” (FYI: These guys didn’t provide their ages. Not judging or anything, just sayin’.)
3. “I secretly love motivational quotes, but I’m too proud to admit that I have a notebook full of my favorites.”
4. “Bubble baths.”
5. “My wife and I watch every season of ‘Love is Blind’ on Netflix. I love it.”
6. “Sewing.”
7. “Baking.”
8. “I enjoy listening to boybands like the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync. My friends are all into rap and that auto-tune stuff, which sounds horrible.”
9. “I’m a 30-something, white, suburban dad . . . and I love raunchy pop music like Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and the like. It’s always on my playlist when I’m alone.” (T-Swift isn’t raunchy per-se, but you get the idea.)
10. “I’ll admit I like romantic comedies. And fruity cocktails. I want my drink to taste good . . . and not like stale bread.”
11. “Romance novels.”
12. “Pedicures.”
13. “I build Legos, play with my cat, and watch elephant, cat, and dog videos.” (Elephant videos?)
14. “Classical music . . . ‘The Lord of the Rings’ . . . working in the garden . . . and cartoons. I’m sure my friends would be okay with all that, but I’m a general contractor, and there’s a stigma of rugged manliness attached to it.”
