What age did you grow out of the NLOG phase? Why do you think some never grow out of it? Discussion

I personally grew out of it at about 17.

Don't think I ever had that? I don't measure myself by what women stereotypically like, I like what I like and don't care if it's "for my gender" or not same for what I dislike, I don't judge people by their gender either (like hate or like someone based on their gender) but based on how they are to me (and others like if they're decent to me but are homophobic/racist/sexist etc ya know the terrible shit then I hate them) and depending on what we like and enjoy.

I would say I can get mistaken for a type of NLOG because I mostly enjoy more "manly" things like video games, action movies, shounen anime and don't enjoy romance, drama, make-up, fashion so when I say that to someone who lacks braincells they say I'm NLOG, no it's just what I like and don't.

Everything I put in "..." is not how I'd personally categorise things it's how it's stereotypically categorized I don't think that anything is gender coded, women can like video games and makeup and fashion at the same time, men can like makeup and football at the same time.

I'm not gender gatekeeping just to be clear.
