i'm mtf and male-attracted so the first thing that i had to come to terms with as my "type" growing up was men. to me that wasn't totally weird and shameful as long as i was only into very conventionally attractive metrosexuals who weren't especially masculine. so again, after coming to terms with liking guys, i had to deal with the shame of being attracted to traditionally masculine, dominant men. some of my straight friends have teased me for the guys i like -- again, to them it's way more normal and ok to be into metrosexuals with kind of androgynous personalities. liking a guy who's very much a guy is almost like a different, more stigmatized orientation to them.
more specifically, i've dealt with shame related to being attracted towards what might be described as male chauvinism, and a number of male stereotypes that aren't necessarily held in the highest regard by society -- things like playing violent video games, yelling at their tv's when they're watching sports, loving "manly foods" like wings/steak/etc, physically fighting their friends in a playful way.... all of those things turn me on. political correctness is also a huge turn-off -- which was extremely embarrassing for me at first because i'm naturally a pretty pc person who doesn't like to step on anyone's toes. i like it when a guy isn't afraid to say what's on his mind even if it means sometimes coming off as an insensitive brute, although as a general rule i need some amount of sensitivity and a lot of understanding in a relationship for practical reasons.
another thing is i hate shaved chests eughhhhgh
