Watching anime in general is strange. Doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl, or if the anime is shounen or shoujo.

In other words, don't be self-conscious about it.

Some people enjoy good shoujo, others enjoy crappy shounen, I won't judge which one is more strange.
I probably regret this post by now.

Not at all! Anyone can watch any demographic they please and if shoujo that you like, don't be scared to watch more.

Absolutely not. Shoujo is but a demographic that can barely begin to describe everything under it anyway. You'll have flowery feel good romance like Kimi ni Todoke but then you'll also have violent and bloody ones like Escaflowne or Hakuouki. It's about as sensible to say someone is strange for liking shounen since that can range from Lucky Star to Attack on Titan.

Nope, not at all. Pretty much most of what I read is Shoujo (odd that I don't watch as much :S)

Everyone have their own taste, so why do you feel strange about it?
[spoiler] if a guy watching yaoi on the other hand, I don't know what to say though..

More like, a guy jerking off to yaoi. That'd be gay. Watching it, though, different story.

No, it doesn't matter if your male or female. But it does mean you got bad taste

In some ways I prefer reverse harems (shoujo) to regular ones (shounen/seinen). The guys just seem more reliable and likable than the dense or pervy beta males in harems and admittedly the heroine in RHs is usually my type (when she isn't an automated doll...Amnesia!...).

If you talking about anime such as Chihayafuru,Natsume yujin chou,Kimi ni todoke,then you are not strange at all or not even minority,those anime have higher viewer ratings among male than female.

If you talking about anime such as Free or Sekai ichi hatsukoi,then you are part of minority if not strange.
