Are masculine men more attracted to feminine women?

[Anonymous]

I've noticed that when a guy is very masculine, he will look for a girlfriend that's very feminine. Do you agree or do you think it's not a rule when it comes to dating? Share your opinions :)

[Underduress]

Actually sometimes I thought about this because I do most of the time seek out very feminine women or at least find myself in relationships with them. I have been told several times that I always get the classiest women (If that correlates with feminine- it seems to) which is weird because I am not very sophisticated by any means. However, dominant (I guess higher testosterone women) women seek me out and I have briefly gone with them. Also, some of these women were tough ones as in farm girls. If I seek, I find myself with very feminine and when I am sought out I find myself with more masculine typically. Anyways my b$ht opinion if it helps.

[Asker]

Yeah i do get your point

[AdamThomas]

I'd say so yeah. Masculinity and femininity are like yin and yang, they compliment each other. A more masculine man then is gonna want a more feminine woman and vice versa. They balance each other out.

[Asker]

100% true :)

Oh my, I love Jason Mamoa lol. I think the most masculine men and most feminine women compliment each other her the most, hence why you probably see more of them together.

[lilaqua]

Possibly, it's probably why me, kind of practical and not super feminine, likes more andro men.

[PrincessPie]

I think that is mostly the case yes.
Though i have seen a few exceptions.

[BrittBratt2416]

Well that's how it works, most heterosexual men want feminine women.

[NightlyCreature]

Don't agree, I like girls that are very feminine, but sometimes I like girls who don't care as much on their looks, or girls who are gothic, I think what attracts you from someone is their personality besides their looks.

[DocHolliday561]

what do you mean by feminine? I consider myself a masculine guy and if you mean feminine as generally more submissive and delicate then no, but feminine as in she cares about the way she looks then yes.

[Asker]

Yeah looks wise, that's what I meant :)

[Anonymous]

I am pretty sure most of the guys want feminine girls. Feminine in looks (one wearing skirts, cute hats, one part dresses etc) and behavior of course. So that is not just the preference of masculine guys. I also like gothic girls, I don't know why but they look extremely se_xy to me.

[dizmuhjam]

True I've seen that happening too all the time! Weird huh.. maybe its the testosterone.. Im like that too! I hate tomboys.

[Asker]

I have very high estrogene and I'm only attracted to very masculine guys. I can't help it

[dizmuhjam]

Sure its only natural.

[Asker]

Exactly, and it makes me laugh when people argue over it

[dizmuhjam]

Ignore em.

[Maik567]

I think this is generally the case, there can be exceptions tho.

[Asker]

Of course

[smølf]

No all guys looks for girlfriends that's very feminine, not just the masculine guys.

[Asker]

Not all. I know guys who prefer tomboys, they're a minority but still.

[smølf]

Well yes, I meant all guys as in not just the "masculine guys", obviously not literately everyone incl. gays etc..

[bente2]

I’ve seen it as well. Maybe because it’s trying to “level out”?

[gobsmacked3]

i think you are generalising

Also, how do you define 'masculine' and 'feminine'

I would suggest both are ambiguous terms that are relatable to a persons perception

[danyboiiiiii]

I'm not very masculine myself and I tend to go for more femenine girls soo yeah

[KenKillsBarbies]

Is he a pirate? Arggggg me angry look at me eyes brows harharhar

[Asker]

I didn't upload this pic. It was automatically uploaded by GAG

[KenKillsBarbies]

🤷🏻‍♂️ that's odd

[Iamaguy4real]

Is that guy pic supposed to be the embodiment of masculinity lol.

[Anonymous]

I believe it to be true. But I honestly believe men in general like feminine women.

[Anonymous]

Well the most masculine you look the most probably you will think gender roles are important. I think it works like that

[HamAndCheese]

I think I'd agree overall. I mean feminine women and masculine men are in high demand regardless.

[Uhhjsshshdh]

It doesn't matter to me, if I like a gal, her feminine traits or masculine traits will be a turn on.

[cancan73]

Not really, people like different things, boxing such a broad subject is pointless

[WildWinterWinds]

Disagree. I think the masculine men have gone MGTOW.

[AdamThomas]

Most MGTOW I see aren't masculine at all, they're mostly betas. If a man is more "alpha" and masculine a woman will want to please him, if not she'll disrespect him while taking what she can from him and walking all over him. MGTOW avoid women because they find that that's the way women treat them. It's the reason they see marriage and relationships as one sided. Because they're betas.

[WildWinterWinds]

I understand your point however I think the problem that MGTOW think it's too risky to even attempt a relationship. And that view is understandable in my opinion. I mean factually speaking, most marriages end in divorce and the man getting a raw deal. Also, where feminism is on the rise and is an accepted philosophy, men could be accused of rape, and they often are, and it ruins their lives because everyone believes the woman. Also, I think that defining masculinity by men's relationships with women is wrong because it implies that single men could never be alpha males. There are plenty of single men who have all the traits of an alpha; they're physically fit, they're emotionally resilient, they are assertive, and they have leadership qualities.

[AdamThomas]

Yeah but the reason they think it's too risky is because girls aren't strongly attracted to them because they're betas, but some girls will date or marry a guy if he seems stable and makes good money just for that reason. Then later the fact that these guys are weak/betas causes the women to lose respect for them, and eventually leave and take half their shit. That's the typical idea of how almost all marriages work according to MGTOW right? But it's not the way it always works - only for betas.

50% of marriages end in divorce, and yes men tend to get the short end of the stick there - but 50% also work. Plenty of people marry the wrong people. People around them might even tell them that they're the wrong person, they might even have obvious red flags, but idiots marry them anyway. If you choose more carefully you can be in the successful 50%.

False accusations of rape happen just as much as real rape happens. What do MGTOW think of "rape culture?" ...

[WildWinterWinds]

I see your points but what does a man gain from marriage that he couldn't have simply dating a woman? And well, I can only speak for myself, but I think rape culture is true to an extremely miniscule amount. I imagine other MGTOW think it's nonsense.

[AdamThomas]

When feminists say that women should avoid men as we're all potential rapists, to most people including MGTOW that's some paranoid bullshit. Most men aren't rapists, and to MGTOW that's sexist right? Well false accusations happen at about the same rate if the stats that MRAs/MGTOW spread are to be believed... That makes false accusers just as rare as male rapists. So to avoid women altogether because of a tiny number of nut cases is the same sexist paranoid bullshit as the rape culture stuff.

As for masculinity, you're right that it's not based on men's relationships with women. In fact if anything it's more to do with what men expect from other men, especially in a survival situation. Things like strength, courage, honour, competence - nowhere are weak, cowardly, incompetent men considered masculine. Women don't fully understand what masculinity is but they notice it when they see it.

[maestro3000]

I prefer girls who put in as much effort to stay fit as I do.

[G-Daz]

Yeah. I like really feminine girls most

[FakeName123]

Absolutely. That's pretty much a no-brainer.
