Is it wrong in the modern age to prefer "masculine" men? (Page 2)

Question

Now, before anyone starts spurting a period-fountain: I'm not talking about traditional masculinity in the sense of being a provider or being unemotional - though I naturally prefer less emotional people as a whole, regardless of gender. I'm talking about typical masculine traits, like strength, liking sports - you know, just having a more "male" mentality.  For me personally, I have always been attracted to men's-men. Guys who aren't afraid of physical labour, getting dirty, yelling when their team scores, and being physically protective over me. I love a guy who can fix stuff around the house and explain to me how cars and shit work. It's just my preference. However, this age has given birth to less-defined individuals who are perhaps more fluid in what they consider masculine and feminine. I. E. Guys who like to wear thongs, dress in women's clothing occasionally, who want to be extremely submissive (not that this is inherently female, but it's more common) etc. There's also many more guys out there who are very emotional and sensitive, you get the gist. While I have no issues with these men personally, I am not attracted to them in the slightest. I'm turned off by guys who are super sensitive, submissive, who wanna dress in women's underwear lol. However, this has been a problem for a few people because I'm apparently enforcing a "toxic" idea of masculinity. So, I want the internet to weigh in: Am I a hypocrite? Am I wrong for feeling this way? How do you feel about concepts of masculinity?

First of all. These guys that dont act like guys are the r toxic ones. Accepting men that act like little girls is not progressive or whatever. Men that can't act like men serve absolutely no role in society as far as im concerned.

I could very well be biased, as that is exactly the kind of man I am, but I don't think you're a hypocrite, at all.

I think it's perfectly normal to have prefences, and I feel like your personal preference is absolutely fine.

Buckzor · Answer

A preference can't really be "right" or "wrong", it's an opinion & is subjective. The only thing people will compare it to is morals or values or whatever, and in my opinion none of the above are even scratched at the surface for liking a specific "type" of man - masculinity.

You are who are you are, in the realm of "normality" as a human.

No and people who believe otherwise are full of it. We don't need to transform the view of the traditional male. Men are biologically wired towards masculinity most of the time. We just need to be more accepting of other men.

You like what you like. So long you're both happy do what you want. I like guys that aren't traditional "meatheads" and that's ok too. We can both like whoever we want.

Learn about this in Psych 101 there is feminines who prefer masculine masculine who prefer feminine and then there was a third type that was a bit of a mix who could really get along with either or aswell as their own type. Those were just statistics of course anything is possible

Prankster13 · Answer

No that's fine. Everyone has preferences. What they are shouldn't make any difference in how hypocritical you are.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I agree with your points. What makes me thinking is - the 'soft generation' you mention was shaped and sent under way by my own generation.

Trollfather · Answer

Don't let mentally challenged individuals make you doubt your beliefs because they want to impose theirs.

Men and women make the species. Men have been more "masculine" since we were trying not to get eaten by lions, while women have always been the one to spend more time with the child/help raise it.

Logan27 · Answer

Alpha males & men with beards are a lot more attractive to women. Women only want pussy men when their looks fade and they want to settle, and pump out a few babies. Before that, they spend their youth hooking up and dating tons of "badboys" and alpha males.

LuWe22 · Answer

It's okay to have this preference as long as you not say other types are bad or say like you like it it's the only way. As long as you can understand that everyone has different preferences it's perfectly fine

MindTime · Answer

There's nothing at all wrong with liking that, I think just so long as it doesn't get overbearing or anything

jdrrichmond · Answer

I'm not genderfluid or feminine, or overly demonstrative of my emotions. Why should I conform to modern standards of PC? I don't expect gay men to hide who they are. Why should I?

JJ81212 · Answer

I think it's not wrong, it's just what you like, I mean as long as you don't actually look to hurt anyone or do any damage whatsoever to any person, then it's ok!!

opurba · Answer

No, main thing is attraction. This way or that way or y would u even bothered.

HamAndCheese · Answer

Nah, it seems like a lot of modern women want that, they're just not quite comfortable expressing it due to social pressures.

monkeynutts · Answer

I got a cock, and I'm proud of it. Yeah down with the idea that it's toxic. May all the girly guys choke on their soy mocha lattes!!

mindseyemuse · Answer

You are much more the norm than the exception. We all grow up being socialized with an archetype of what "man" and "woman" mean. And the stuff you're describing more closely guys what has been shoved into your head by tv, movies, commercials, family, advertising, etc for your entire life

ericclayton · Answer

No, most still do. I myself get really turned off by masculine women, and I'm not ashamed of that.
