I have hobbies that are very male-dominated, but I know they’re not cool, and that doesn’t bother me. I’m happy being uncool and enjoying my hobbies.
I think the difference is that some boys are unembarrassed about liking Joe Rogan, and make it their whole personality. You should feel a little embarrassed to admit that you listen to Joe Rogan. You should feel embarrassed that you’re obsessed about WWE or UFC. But, it’s not just male things. Niche interests, especially niche interests that are gender-specific are things that don’t make you cool. Like, a girl who is obsessed with makeup tutorials on TikTok shouldn’t think that makes her cool either.
Tomorrow’s the SuperbOwl. If some guys are super excited about that, it’s fine. They should just acknowledge that being obsessed with a sport played by other people isn’t cool. It’s as uncool as Warhammer 40k or… trains.
Do you really think they’re cool though?
