Is there literally anything only men like?

There are male biased things, ie. gaming, woodworking, wingsuiting, cimbing etc.

but are there any things literally only males like?

Yes there is:

Only men like nothing.

Explanation:

"Only XYZ like ABC" is equivalent to: "Everyone who likes ABC is also an XYZ."

Since everybody likes at least something, there is no one who likes nothing. The statement: "Everyone who likes nothing is also a man" is true because the "Everyone who likes nothing" part results in 0 people. And it's true to say that everyone in a group of 0 people is a man. It's also true that everyone in a group of 0 people is not a man.

But other than vacuous truths, no sentence stating "Only man like XYZ" is true.

I have no idea why you're being downvoted. Perhaps it's coming off as a bit rude to some?
