On the flip side, women tend to make men controlling, dramatic, and incompetent. There's about 8,000 YA novels with a male protag who gets angry with no provocation haha.

To add onto that, I've noticed a lot of women writing men have a trend of giving male characters wild sexual histories including lots of past partners and one-night stands. It's not like your character can't be a playboy (and there are definitely good settings for that kind of thing), but virgins and guys who prefer monogamous, longterm relationships exist too so it doesn't make them less realistic or less masculine to have those kinds of backstories. I know plenty who don't have raging sex drives and want to connect emotionally with a partner in order to have a physical relationship!
