Homo Domesticus
I work in the high-tech industry, and I have a computer at home that I sometimes like to tinker with.  But that's about as far as it goes.
I'm not a man's man, that's for sure.  I don't really like the taste of most beers, and I barely play any sports.  I don't even really watch sports on TV or follow the latest advances in the whatever leagues; it was my ex from whom I had learnt some football basics!  I don't fawn over the latest exotic car to hit the market (particularly since I don't ever plan on owning one).  And sure, I hit the gym regularly, but I'm not the beastly kind who grunts and snorts while lifting racks of weights loaded with concrete.
But I like reading and browsing through magazines about home design and interior design; I enjoy playing with concepts in my living space.  I entertain ideas of artistic (minimalist) decor, focusing only on the playing of light upon structures and objects.
And I enjoy cooking; I think food is amazing.  Just absolutely amazing.  In fact, my TV is most often left on FoodTV.  I like thinking up creations for meals, exploring methods of presentation, wondering how certain foods might compliment each other.  I like producing delicious delectable dishes that presented beautifully to be enjoyed by guests, or whipping up comfort foods that warm me through to my soul.
I have no qualms of acknowledging that I'm rather domesticated.  I would at any time opt to stay home with the (future) kids and be a stay-at-home Dad if need be.  Cook, clean, I wouldn't mind all of that, while ensuring proper supervision and nurturing of a parent-child relationship.
Crap, is that right??
