So like before the year 1990, I was a young adult and I had to take a psychological exam. One of the parameters was called masculine/feminine and I scored high on it. The doctor explained it to me thus:
A high score means I don’t have typical narrow interests like most men do. I didn’t understand what he was talking about. He simplified his explanation as “most men only think about huntin and fuckin”. I was in so much disbelief that I have a broader range of interests and subtleties of opinion than other men that I asked all the fellas about when I got back to barracks. Turns out the doc was right, roughly speaking, and that was one of those big moments when I realized I was not like the others.
Well, of course, while they were partying, you studied the blade.
I literally never understood the appeal of watching sports until I happened across a few high level video game streamers. I played sports, but never to any kind of competitive level, and watching it on TV just seemed like a massive boring waste of time. And then, I started seeing people playing games and being challenged and doing a good job and I was like HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO EXCITING I'M ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT I UNDERSTAND IT NOW.
