OF necessary?

How does someone say this correctly and natively?

You're more (of) a guy than a girl (in) the way you act. You're scared of everything.

Thanks

I would say "You act more like a guy than a girl." (If you actually think guys are more likely to be scared of everything than girls are. The stereotype would be the other way around.)

I meant to say

You act more like a girl than a guy.

It wouldn't make sense otherwise, if one were to say it to a guy.

In the sentence I wrote:

He's more (of) a girl than you guy in the way he acts.

Is this okay tho if I want to formulate it, it's something people might say?

of necessary?

I was looking for a sentence with "in the way
