"Sauna, massage, and a scrub. Chilling basically naked with my homies. Fifteen-year-old me would've been way to insecure to enjoy it. There's a men only spa near me that has a very positive male energy to it. Everybody is chatty, there is outrageously good food, some game is always on the TVs. But just the concept of going to a spa was always a feminine thing when I was growing up."

"I have no idea how bubbles combined with baths came to be viewed as feminine. I move dirt for a living and there's nothing better on my sore muscles and bones than a hot bath with some foaming bubbles, epsom salt, some music, an ice cold beer, and a bit of weed. Fuck anyone who tries to say I'm less of a man for relaxing in a hot bath after busting ass all day."

–u/throwawaytrumper

"If you've never lit some candles, got a nice glass (or a couple) of your favorite beverage, and sat in a bubble bath until the water starts to get a little chilly – possibly while watching Hallmark movies or something similar – you should. Treat yourself, King."

–u/7237R601

17. "Romantic Comedies."

Warner Bros.

"My favorite are the three starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Joe Versus the Volcano, You've Got Mail, and Sleepless in Seattle. Damn, those are some mighty fine films! I will watch those movies on repeat. To be fair, most of the '80s and '90s rom-coms are good."
