Why are some guys SO GIRLY these days?

Question

I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT PHYSIQUE OR SENSITIVITY HERE. 
BUT, it's about when they spend hours and hours in front of mirror, just looking at themselves. Then, click thousands of mirror selfies with different angles, and some guys are as free as girls, so they give effects to each one of their photos. The captions they put on face book with so many emoticons like ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ make them look like 5 years old when they are adults! 
They don't like travelling or going out, or if they step out, they just click more pictures or selfies! So, basically, their life exists for selfies.

This right here is the whole problem---that many people in general seem to stereotype that crap as being "girly". Being vain, self-absorbed, and immature is NOT girly, it's stupid, let's set that straight right here and now.

I think it's idiotic when both guys and girls do it, and a total turn-off.

Because they can do whatever the fuck they want and don't owe it you or on anyone else to please some arbitrary idea of what a man "should" be.

Nobody cares how you feel on the subject.

Doesn't.

I've been wondering the same thing! i'm starting to really like a guy who is just like that, but he's pretty attractive. I just wish he wasn't so obsessed with social media. Cause I rarely use it myself.

Because they can and are allowed to. If you don't like them, simply avoid them. Wasting energy on complaining about them when they're not harming anyone is stupid.

Amazing. Guys feel the same way about gals. They spend too much time in front of the mirror. Have a gazillion selfies that are just repeats of others. And the emoticons get ridiculous. Many might say that is girly, but as you said yourself about the guys, they make them look like 5 years old.

I like it when they do this, they're not hiding the fact that they only have the basics when it comes to personality and it's a good sign I should avoid them. Imagine if you started dating a girl and only found out later she was a stupid self indulgent dumbass! hahaha

-Single parent households
-Lack of identity instilled from our parents generation
-The male-shaming side of some feminist movements
-The confusion that comes from shedding traditional gender roles but not knowing how to either replace them with something else or know how to define yourself for yourself
-The insecurity and social validation that comes from social media use
-Political correctness hemming people in to a specific society norm or belief

Take your pick of these

For one, I rather doubt many guys are that into selfies.

For two, it's part of "equality." For true equality between the sexes, men must become more feminine and women more masculine. Hence why the feminist push in our society is rather harmful.

For three, consider than divorce rates are about 50%, male provider traits are not worth anything in dating today, and a huge percent of the female population is fat... so why go out and try to meet women, etc?

question; Why the hell is that girly? Narcistic yes, but why is it girly?  just because one gender started doing it doesn't mean it's girly or manly

godfatherfan · Answer

They are called gay. It is not like it is even 20 years ago. It is ok to come out at an early age. so more gay men are expressing themselves

This seems like it's been written by a five year old

dudeman · Answer

Well feminism has told men for the last forty years they want a man in touch with his feminine side. A manly man said shut up bitch but the girly men believed it and in turn became cuties.

It's metrosexual... It's not these days, metrosuality has been here since the 90's mid to late.. About the selfies, everyone has been effected by that.

SurströmmingLover · Answer

I'm not in that category so I don't care about them. But I think that it's the false role-models from the media that contribute in this...

WhaChaChaKing · Answer

That's not girly, that's narcissistic and just plain weird.
