Is it weird for boys to watch shojo's?

I enjoy anime in general. Some of it is shoujo (Kimi no Todoke, My Little Monster, Hanasaku Iroha, etc.,) or appeals to a wider audience (School Rumble is one of the first that comes to mind for me.) What matters to me is not what others think of the genres I watch (though it's nice to be able to discuss individual shows when feasible) but whether the shows are entertaining to me.

In the end, I think that's all that really matters: What do you get from it?

Just watch what you enjoy man. Seriously, in the end, that's really all that matters. There's no point in watching anime if you don't enjoy it. Right?

Lots of girls watch shounen. Quite a few boys watch shoujo. Watch what you enjoy
