A question for the men of beast's lair

[Dullahan]

Is basing your personality off of someone else normal for men?

"I want you to know, Sancho, that the famous Amadis of Gaul was one of the most perfect knight errants. But what am I saying, one of the most perfect? I should say the only, the first, the unique, the master and lord of all those who existed in the world....I think...that, when a painter wants to become famous for his art he tries to imitate the originals of the best masters he knows; the same rule applies to most important jobs or exercises which contribute to the embellishment of republics; thus the man who wishes to be known as careful and patient should and does imitate Ulysses, in whose person and works Homer paints for us a vivid portrait of carefulness and patience, just as Virgil shows us in the person of Aeneas the valor of a pious son and the wisdom of a valiant captain; and it is understood that they depict them not as they are but as they should be, to provide an example of virtue for centuries to come. In the same way Amadis was the pole, the star, the sun for brave and amorous knights, and we others who fight under the banner of love and chivalry should imitate him. Thus, my friend Sancho, I reckon that whoever imitates him best will come closest to perfect chivalry."

…Is it weird if I’m a guy but find myself relating more to female characters than male ones?

A character's struggles don't have to necessarily be tied to their gender, and even if they are it is possible to draw parallels between that struggle and yours.
So no. It ain't weird at all.
I also relate to some female characters, with a particular case actually leading me to learn more about myself through that character.
