Can a guy still be manly even though he likes some things that are considered girly?

[RetroReviews]

I'm a 100% straight white male a man's man in my mind. I'm only attracted to women , the thought of being with a man is disgusting to me. But there are some things I'm fond of that are considered girly. A female waitress laughed at me years ago when I ordered a strawberry daiquiri cuz she said that was a girly drink. I do not like beer at all, to me it tastes like piss. I like bright vibrant colors that pop Purple , teal/turquoise and hott pink are 3 of my favorite colors. One of my favorite bands of all time is Erasure, (synth pop band) lead singer Andy Bell is openly gay and very beloved in the gay community. Two mobile games I like Playing Are Match Masters and project makeover. Can I like all these things and still be considered manly can I pull that off? Certain powerful and moving scenes in movies can bring tears to my eyes. Give me your thoughts

Album cover of Erasure I find dazzling and beautiful

Please explain what is not manly about knowing what you like and going after it? You like drinks that taste good, movies with moving and compelling storylines, music that gets your blood flowing. Like, dude, what the fuck is not manly about these things? because some girls or gay guys like them too? You know what's not manly my dude? Being insecure about the shit you like. Own that shit like a man and don't let anybody tell you that shit ain't for you. A man knows what he likes. Knows what he wants. And then he fucking gets it. Oorah

I appreciate your spirited reply and I agree I have no problem with my manhood and the things I like I know it's going for opinions I do know some men maybe they are insecure let's go with a factory working beer drinker guy who would say to me you like that gay shit? you like that gay music? He like those girly colors? For him he likes red and black and jams to Metallica he said that is Guy music. Also remember years ago a guy asked me if I was turned on by watching two lesbians go at it and I said no and he said what's wrong with you don't you have any balls.
