You obviously have no idea how many girls male ballet dancers get.

<--- sister is a ballet dancer.

i think it takes a real man to not be self concious of his apperal (pink clothes), do ballet cheerleeding etc, and cry when needed...ill have to say the most un-'macho' thing would be trying to be defined as macho by someone else's opinion :p

I didn't want to let this one get passed up. :)

Choose his activities based on whether insecure guys on internet forums would approve of his manliness.

or kiss another bloke...:p

the very first thing that came to my mind was .... shave his body. that is the most unmacho thing i could think of. after that, i would say... hmm... wear earrings, one in each ear, like girls do.

but that is my opinion. i know that some guys think it is ok to do those things.. and that is fine for them. whatever floats their boat. but to me, these are the least macho things.

Actually, i have met a few gay men that were incredibly masculine and macho. they just like feminine guys instead of feminine girls.

QFT.

The only thing that's more annoying than the people that are scared to be their selves, and not submit to the guidelines set by society, are the people that break those same guidelined because they are now trendy (the guys who were scared to wear pink a year ago, but now since "real men where pink," they do).

I'd say what I actually think about ballet, but I'd be flamed to a well-done crisp and have many, many, many distasteful comments made about my sexuality, so I'll refrain.

I was going to say sex with another man..

But that's silly... they're both being EXTREMELY manly and the question is about machismo...

perhaps a pedicure?
