I'd suggest, Reno, that you try drawing girls to begin with (and not for perverted reasons -- I'm talking art here). I found that manga girls are easier to draw than men -- with girls, you can get more of the proportions wrong/misaligned, and it still looks alright. With me, everything is generally oversized a little.
One other thing: The eyes. Eyes generally aren't straight black (occasionally they are, or if its a "realistic" drawing, but I myself don't draw like that ) I have some manga girls hung up on my wall, lemme see if I can get my mom off of her dell to let me scan them in....
*will be right back*

On a more serious note, I am sticking
to drawing girls at the moment as personally I find it more fun. For
perverted reasons? Probably!With me, everything is generally oversized a little.

Lol, nice on G.Ball. That was hilarious.
Cool to see you drawing, Reno! I think your first attempt was great, and I'm sure you will hone your skills if you keep practicing. I have never really been drawn to anime (too old?). I should really take the time to look for the cream of the crop anime, I'm sure I would love it if I paid more attention.
As for the tablet....DO IT! You know how I love Wacom. You wont regret it. There is something to be said for learning with the ole pencil and paper. Some special quality that is unnatainable with digital art.... BUT, drawing on the pc, is just sooo forgiving, limitless, cheap, efficient.
Anyway... keep it up!
Again, with this fixation on gender.. its not gay to express a certain kind of affection for the same gender, and its definitely not taboo or perverted to express a desire for the opposite sex. 
geez, i cannot help but wonder, if all this gay rights s**t never happened, would we worry about distinctions such as this.
perverted has nothing to do with the opposite sex, not even where age is concerned. perverted is methodology. as in, you have a feather still embedded in your anus after you finish, or the whip is stuck between your toes after you fall asleep.
all this compunction to distinguish yourselves away from the stigma of sex is OTT guys. posting it draws attention to you, it doesn't push it away. you might as well wave a flag and proclaim "I HAVE ISSUES"
