I think I fit most of the stereotypes associated with masculinity. Not the negative ones, but the neutral and positive ones. I enjoy being tall and strong. I'm stoic, kind of like the strong silent type. I'm athletic, enjoy sports and other male-coded hobbies, and prefer a masculine appearance in terms of hair and clothing.

I'm really not feminine at all. The only female stereotypes that I fit are being neat and orderly and liking cats. I'm also strongly monogamous, which I guess is seen as a female trait.

I usualy try to be stoic, but often fail at it! I wonder if it is because I suffer from clinical depression though.

Sorry to hear you struggle with depression.

I think for me my baseline is cool and collected. It takes a lot to rile me up. I feel things, but maybe I don't feel them as strongly as some other people? Like it would never even occur to me to cry or yell in most situations. I just don't feel the urge.

I think things like temperment tend to be nature rather then nurture. I have noticed that when I am on anti depressants I am way more cool and collected.
