What Do People Think Of Feminine Men/Masculine Women In Dating?

[curiousnorway]

(I didn't have enough poll space to add bisexual or other combinations, therefor I've an "other" option where you can elaborate. The pictures are there just to give you an idea. The partner you dreams of doesn't have to look exactly like that.)

With masculinity and femininity it can be all from traditional gender roles, the way someone behaves, sounds and looks like. It can be clothing, hairstyles or just natural facial features and body shapes. So what's your preferences?

Please state your own gender, which gender you're attracted to and if you prefer them feminine or masculine. You can also share what you consider yourself (feminine/masculine). #Feminine #Masculine #Dating

I'm a girl and I'm attracted to men. I'm not sure, I think I tend to like feminine men more than masculine men.

Here some pics of guys I find attractive like this you can tell me if you think they're more feminine or masculine :

As for personality I prefer masculine guys (protective, prideful, kind, caring and a guy that always look out for me). I don't like it when they say too much compliment or stuff like that I prefer action to words. Words like I love you and stuff make me uncomfortable and i don't like it.
As for hugging and all I want the guys to initiate it all since I won't do it even if I want to, I'm too shy for it.

So I would say for physics I tend to prefer more feminine men but for personality I prefer more masculine.

1. Average at the middle; but very young. 18 - 19 years old?
2. Feminine emo.
3. Middle.
4. Masculine.
5. Feminine - under aged looking.
6. Middle.
7. Feminine - under aged looking.
8. Feminine - under aged looking.
9. Feminine, recently had his 18th birthday.

Men I think looks masculine are Aidan Turner, Brad Pitt (today), Channing Tantum, the Hemingworth brothers and Henry Cavill.

1. He's in his early 20s, a bit more aged than me.
5. It's a random pics on internet I don't know his name but he's surely under age yes, about 16 / 17 I think.
7. He was around 22 in this pic
8. He's 29 today, on the pics I don't know but he's very young looking even on today pics.
9. I have no idea of his age, random pics on google

It's like I thought I tend to be more attracted toward feminine men.

Henry Cavill look good.

[alice55]

2. He's emo yes, since middle school I always liked emo guys. I think they look good and i really like their hairstyle.

[curiousnorway]

It's okay to be attracted to feminine men, but these ones looks under aged.

[alice55]

To me the only one who look underaged is the one in the 5 pics.
I think I tend to imagine people as older than they're really which is not really cool ><

[curiousnorway]

As long you've asked your date about their age and they're legal, you won't be in trouble. Looking young yourself would be an advantage though even if it's legal. People tends to stare more if an old girl dates an under aged looking boy than visa versa since the norm is that the guy is a bit older than the girl although both are supposed to be adults.

Both looking equally young or old is the best option. People can jump to weird conclusions if not and it won't always look pretty.

[alice55]

Asking age is the first things I do (especially if they look young).
Too I looks under age myself it's better I date someone who look young if I date someone that look their age or older people are going o stare (in France they don't like couple with age difference especially if the girl look under age, it always get second stare).

Yes, it can lead to trouble or awkward situation. I rather avoid it.

[curiousnorway]

I looks under aged myself, but I wouldn't be into dating someone who looks like children. I'm fine with girls at the same level as me in terms of looks, but guys would remind me too much of small children. Girls also tends to be smaller, so they can be adults looking like that and get away with it. Men however would be considered small boys if they're small by just looking at them. If I lived in East-Asia I would probably be in trouble for preferring to date older people since I dislike a childish look.

[alice55]

A guy can look older by being muscular and a girl can look older by having curves (even if they have a young looking face).
I don't think height really play a role in how young or old a person look honestly. I'm pretty tall myself (169 cm) and people still think I'm under aged.
It's more to do with face features, clothing style and body shape.

I think they would only be considered small boys if they're skinny if they got some muscles they wouldn't be looking like children.

Surely a lot of people would be staring at you if you did that. That would be uncomfortable.

[alice55]

Thanks for the MHO :)

I've watched a guy going through "what you must do as a man". Imagine looking at everything you do and worrying if it's gay or not.

To get women, have a passion. They can raise your children while your going about accomplishing such a thing.

[alice55]

@lostMahou If you worry all the time if what you do is gay or not then that's going to be really annoying.
I like many stuff that are considered to be guy stuff (like comics, video games, etc...) but I never worried about it or think to myself ''that's not ok to like it since that's a guy things'' and nobody ever said to me it was bad to like those things.
Nobody should worry if what they like to do is gay or not if you like it and enjoy it then just do your things. Most people won't even care for it honestly.

[JuniperGray]

The last 3 guys are the most attractive to me.

[aicarg]

As a straight female I have a preference of being attracted to masculine men. To me those are guys who are more rugged, have defined facial features, has some muscle definition, are taller than I am, short to medium length hair (hair that's longer than his shoulders becomes questionable to me), I prefer a male who dresses simply but is able to look presentable to my family (not looking for a slob) - shirt, cardigan, buttondown, jeans, cargos. I don't mind fashionable vangaurd clothes, but not into avant garde.

As for personality, I care for a man who knows how to stand his ground, is forward focused and goal driven, is adventurous and dominant in nature.

[AlienParasite]

Androgynous? So it's masculine but also a bit femenine for a man? 🤔

Voted other but probably would feel more comfortable with the guy you picture as femenine. I like too much cute faces, like the one that guy has. I also appreciate the beauty of a very masculine man, but there's a higher emotional attraction to a softer looking guy, indie movie protagonist prototype of guy and so.

[CubsterShura]

I like a masculine man. It's just that I don't think that liking the colour pink and some other gender stereotypes make you less masculine.

[curiousnorway]

What makes a masculine man for you?

[curiousnorway]

What makes a man masculine for you? *

[CubsterShura]

Mental strength. Courage. Passion. Humbleness. Security.

By security I mean feeling safe around him. Over everything else, what a woman wants from her father, brother, husband and son is protection. I can't be comfortable around a man who gives out a potential rapist vibe.

[guyasef]

I believe that personality is more important than gender attitudes. Both the masculine and feminine stereotypes have personality drawbacks that should be worked on. I am not ok with polarities. Ebracing one's uniqueness is awesome but gratifying harmful and toxic personalities is not. I am well aware of my masculine prejudices and I hate all of these that are wrong. I believe in change and kindness and rationality and justice. So, to put it simply I am neitherbpknwith the masculine stereotype, nor am I OK or attracted to the feminine stereotype and I am willing to work on myself and might love someone who is too.

Its not good for the fertility because you need testosterone to make sperm, and estrogen for women having a period.

[Logorithim]

Well, the poll results say it all...

[LaurenEverheart]

I'm a masculine women and I like feminine men and women but I also like masculine men. Personally it's not about how the other person looks but who they are and how they treat themselves and others. I'm assuming that by masculine and feminine we are talking about peoples characters (Who they identify as internally) and not fashion statements. I just don't see the point in loving someone for their clothes. It's gotta be about who they are as a person. Hope this helps.

[Lionman95]

I find it hard to define what a "femine" women actually is. Feminity is more about body ideals than character questions.

[humanearth]

I'm a male and I'm more attracted to masculine (aka Tomboy) women.

Make-up Queens and fashion nuts are a big turn off for me

[Anonymous]

Masculine men, and semi-masculine women.
Depends on how masculine the woman is though...
I like masculine personalities in right amount rather than a masculine apppearance, like short hair.

[Valnac]

I prefer women who are proud of their sexuality, and know what they want.

[BonnieBunny]

A perfect mix of feminine and masculine
Soft features, a somewhat manly figure

[Jaye234]

I'm straight and I prefer masculine men.

[curiousnorway]

What do masculinity mean for you? Your definition?

[Jaye234]

It's hard for me to explain.

[Hiopdtgy]

I don't care about looks 😇

[curiousnorway]

What about personalities?

[Hiopdtgy]

That's very important

[Hiopdtgy]

Masculine guy's but still kind
