My partner does not care for women with typically feminine attributes; good thing I'm not overly feminine. I have a tomboy streak about a mile wide (I like sports, computers, nerds, hiking, the outdoors), but I still like some frills; I enjoy painting my toenails pink, like to cook, and occasionally wear make-up. He doesn't like it when I wear make-up, but since I'm not the subservient type, I stick my tongue out at him and tell him to shove it (teasingly, of course).
Similarly, my guy is no macho man. He's no crybaby either, but he's pretty in touch with himself and who he is. He can be very masculine when he wants to be, and enjoys traditionally masculine pursuits (sports, backpacking). He is much more mechanically inclined than I am--but he's never condescending about it. I think that's the one thing I appreciate about him the most--he's comfortable enough with himself to take the time to share his expertise with others in a way that isn't patronizing. It sets him apart from a lot of men I know.
As for guys taking yoga--guys who take yoga/do yoga are HOT, period. They can stretch their bodies in ways you cannot even imagine. Plus, seeing a guy do yoga tells me he's comfortable enough with himself that he doesn't care what others think. He's more interested in his health--body and mind.
