Typical boy things you're in to

SW81

So we've established we're not all shrieking girlie girls so what typical man stuff are ye in to?

I personally love rallying, go to loads of rally events all over the country, great craic (always great way to meet fit blokes too!), really interested in cars and how they work etc...kind of want to do some kind of car maintenance course actually (if anyone knows of anything in Dublin like that).

spinandscribble

comic books, violent horror, extreme asian films. oh and boobies lol :P

Gauge

Computers, web programming and technological stuff in general. Not necessarily a typical 'boy thing' but my female friends cannot understand why I'd do something like gleefully spend money on hard drives and mess around with code for fun

Edit: ditto the horror and asian movies too.

I should start a PI thread. "My internet wife is being unfaithful with a man in real life."

Ok ok so, the horrorthon is on every October bank holiday weekend. They usually have about 30 films, some of which aren't necessarily horror but all cultish in some way (for example, for your height only )

I'd absolutely love to do a car maintenance course. I just got screwed for €480 for a service for my car. That's why I'm poor this month! I've asked my mates and a few of them are interested too.

Boys things I like are dirty jokes, dirty conversations, laughing at big boobies, loving meat and things about superheroes.

Black Swan

Martial arts.

Ginny

Footie, Rugby, cars, horror films, but then again I don't class that stuff as "boy stuff" just "stuff"..

nomorebadtown

just to clarify, the following are what i (as a boy) would consider 'typical boy things':

Tits
Beer
Football
Flatulence
War
Loud Noises

I REALLY want to do something like that too, I can't even change a tyre

cuckoo

I like the Die Hard films - does that count as a 'boy thing'?

Oh, and i don't enjoy clothes shopping much, but do get a little obsessive about gadget and widget shopping, and really like diy shops.

gcgirl

love rugby Gaa soccer, playing golf on my xbox360 love James bond Indiana Jones and all the Godfather movies plus Scarface! plus would be compleatly lost with out my sky plus esp sky sports!

misslt

I'm a big computer geek and I love all gadget-ey technical-ey things!

I'm always the first person to figure out how to work the fidgety things in my family - and every time my grandfather gets a new phone he rings me so I can teach him how to use it!

Clare Bear

Boy stuff I'm in to....massively in to Hurling, Rugby, Outdoors activities....good with gadgets (though I often throw said gadgets at the wall if they don't agree with me!), like computers, cars (seriously need to actually learn how to fix stuff though!!), Top Gear, South Park, Family Guy (I know they're not really boys stuff but seems to always get a funny reaction when I tell guys I like them for some reason, like they expect me to be in to Coronation Street or something).....I was a right tom boy growing up too, grew up on a farm (not literally, we actually had a house) have always loved getting my hands dirty.

Seriously need to sort out some car maintenance course though. I'm fecked if I get stuck somewhere in the middle of nowhere some night on my own.

jellie

my bfs always making me watch top gear.. but im secretly starting to like it.. wont be telling him though

other thank that.. computers, bit of programming.. im LEARNING to play some race game on the xbox but im still pretty crap.

Piste

Food.

Pythia

Maths and numbers. It's almost all men!

Nightwish

Top Gear, Heavy Metal (which many girls like too), computers, maths, a hatred for cooking, technology, Mountaineering.

watna

Top Gear is the funniest thing on tv. It's the only thing that makes me laugh out loud!

SarahSassy

Watching programmes about sharks

*adele*

Horror films,Any "scary",violent/gory/disgusting film,japanese(horror)films,cars,dirty jokes,horribly inappropriate jokes,top gear,scrapheap challenge(lol),beer, etc etc

themadchef

I suppose my biggest hobby is a man thing, cards. Poker, 5 card draw, hold'em, jesus i even run the 25 game for the auld fellas over christmas. I love backing horses and being able to read their form. I actually don't feel uncomfortable in the bookies.

I love being in male company i guess, I laugh at all the dirty jokes, and imo there's far less of a bi**ch fest with men.

I swear like a trooper (not at home, but i can't help it when i'm in male company). I love darts, and chess.

I love fishing, though rarely get time to do it. I loved the curragh and rowing but it's been years. I used to go shooting with my dad when i was younger.

I suppose football and rugby would be my only 2 definate "hates".

.

*adele*

I love that about hanging around with guys(well most guys),the whole less bitchy factor
its great
Not d4 guys though,I think theyre possibly bitchier

Very true.

I like science fiction, violence and motorsport.
I notice that I enjoy these things on a different level though...I have no interest in anorak things like collecting statisics or memrobilia.

I despise gaming and ball sports, especially soccer.

Ye can learn how to do nearly all this stuff yourself just by doing a bit of reading on the web, its fairly handy after that (providing you don't my irrational fear of getting under a car on axle stands)

Quality

I love Cheltenham, and a flutter on the horses now and then...

I love fast cars...

I like to watch porn...

Hmm have to think of the rest..

Cathmandooo

What makes me manly:
I like:

Maths
Numbers
Some porn
boobs
checking out hot ladies
fast cars
star trek
beer
Rugby
sports weekends away (best time ever in Paris 07 for RWC)
fatty food
my spatial awareness
my sense of direction
my logic
DIY
general house maintanence

dislike:
ditzy girls who wont try to do something (i.e. fix something)
girls acting dumb to impress guys (headwrecking)

Ha!

Same here Cathooo, I'm sick of watching girls pretend they're stupid just to get blokes to do things for them.
Oh I forgot GAA, SiFi (except stargate...bllurreegghh) and I love driving, love it!
I like talking off somewhere without a map (why in gods name do people need Sat Nav in Ireland? can they not read signs?).

It's SciFi :D I've watched stargate but never really got into it!!

Sat Nav in Ireland is a joke, i suppose it's handy for people with no sense of direction

I drove down the M50 the other day in rush hour traffic and some bint was using her Sat Nav, now it wasn't just there, she had it on with the arrow moving along, eejit.

How did you see her arrow? I've actually never seen SatNav other than on tv so I've no idea what it's like!! She sounds mad anyway, it take hours to get down the M50, stop wasting your car battery misses, i assume it's plugged into your cigarette socket?

By some do you mean porn lit.....thats girl porn in my opinion.

She was in front of me stuck in traffic and it was very early and dark so it lit up her whole car.
I dunno where its attached, I assumed it had its own battery.

Clit lit?

hmmm well I hadn't thought of that, but james patterson does tend to have a wee bit of porn in some novels which has tickled my fancy

Crumble Froo

ha, never occurred to me that things like sports, martial arts, top gear, family guy etc were 'guy things'. yeah, im into all that too. and the dodgy jokes and conversations, and stuff.

Ginny

Yeah Narco, they're just "Stuff" to me, I deffo wouldn't think Family guy is a guys thing, or top gear or anything like that..
I know what guy type stuff I'm not into though, golf, snooker, cards (I can play I just don't see the point), WoW, stuff like that.. but then again that me is just "stuff" I'm not into.

Family guy isn't a guy thing! Now Entourage....that is.

Ginny

Tried Entourage, just didn't get into it, only thing on TV I'm really looking forward to is Dexter season 2!

PrettyInPunk

Watching bad boys 1 and 2 over and over again, burping, being vulgar, cursing,

Crumble Froo

oh, that, but withnail and i instead of bad boys.
