Women, what makes a man less masculine?

[Tonytoutouni123]

inspired by this question:
Men, what do you think makes a woman less feminine?

guys i am also interested in your opinion.

[DizzyDesii]

Guys who wear skinny jeans, eyeliner, heels, nail polish, and long hairstyles are not masculine enough for me. If they walk with a sway, arch their back or do those weird hand gestures, theyre not manly enough for me. If they sound like a girl, theyre not manly enough for me. If he says things like “i’m not gay but i’d totally bang that dude” then he’s not manly enough for me. Man i could keep going. I just dont find a “straight” guy masculine enough if i’m having to question his sexuality

[EyebrowChewie]

haha! Now i know why you gave me the cold shoulder my hair

[EyebrowChewie]

[DizzyDesii]

@EyebrowChewie your hair? Its short in the pic

[modelUN242]

Wow you triggered some people, it’s true, us women don’t like gayish men.

[tennisgirly]

Being short and skinny, whining, and not sticking up for themselves and others. How else can I answer this... I guess literally anything opposite to what makes them masculine?
Wearing their hair long, (ugh, guys with ponytails gross me out), wearing tight and fitted clothes that could appear feminine, and most of all just having a girly attitude. Being super sarcastic and dramatic is awful in a guy and makes them totally less masculine- and being whiny and ungentlemanlike, too!
Hence, any girly attributes that a guy has could make them appear less masculine, and having an ungentlemanlike attitude and being disrespectful is bad all the same.

i liked that thanks

[tennisgirly]

My pleasure:)

[NYlatefun]

Being short? Lol I’m quite tall but that’s ridiculous. It’s like saying women with small tits are less femenine.

[tennisgirly]

@NYlatefun
But don't men who are taller feel more masculine because they're larger and more protective and dominant? Masculinity is the opposite of femininity, and females are typically short.
(but by the way, if you're taller then I just gave you a compliment so why even care?)
Not to be mean, but I do have a point, lol:)

[NYlatefun]

Lol I just feel like a characteristic that’s beyond your control shouldn’t be taken as a negative trait. Just my opinion.

[EyebrowChewie]

As you can see, the opinions of the females are idiotic and unhelpful. You should never get advice from a woman.

[DCooper]

Winner, winner, chicken dinner !

[EyebrowChewie]

@DCooper dizzydesii being the exception obviously

[ftewolde]

@EyebrowChewie Your profile makes you look less masculine, maybe you could take some pointers from said “idiotic and unhelpful” opinions. No hate.

[EyebrowChewie]

@ftewolde I'm glad I haven't caught covid19 from looking at your profile, even your hair wears a mask!

[ftewolde]

haha, fair.

[EyebrowChewie]

@ftewolde but are you?

[HikerDude]

Generally have to agree with this. I read the responses with an open mind, but a lot of it is just garbage. Women hardly agree on what it means to be feminine, so it's a stretch to think they'd be able to define what makes a man more or less masculine.

[HikerDude]

@ftewolde that face diaper you're wearing makes you look less human.

[EyebrowChewie]

@HikerDude recently a 'girl' friend of mine said she 'i don't even know what feminine is anymore lol' oh she knows but her interest in feminism is conflicting with her mind. She actually looked ill and the moment I started talking to her (I'm a time traditional guy) she started styling her hair and having it down etc. They know what masculinity is but they don't care to say.

[Toast792]

Probably wearing dresses/heels/heavy makeup (but if he wants to then it's his choice)

[valentina4eva]

here’s a bunch of things that i think make guys less masculine 💅💅
- when they try too hard or super overcompensate
- when they are insecure and lack confidence
- when they are submissive
- when they are whiny or needy
- if they are physically weak and i feel like they couldn’t defend me
- when they are indecisive or let others make decisions for them
- when they don’t stand up for themselves or for their friends/ family
- when they just follow and nvr lead at all
- I don't know that’s all i could come up w off the top of my head 🙃🙃

[AliceTheNguyener]

Masculinity to me means taking charge and leadership of oneself and others in a natural, non-forced way. Not shying away from taking initiative and being assertive wherever there is a need for it. The lack of those is what makes someone less masculine.

[menina]

Hating all women just because he was rejected by one and believing that women are responsible for all the problems he has.

[modelUN242]

- soyboy
- simp (don’t put me on a pedestal, point out my wrongs instead of beating around the bush)
- acting fake and materialistic
- watching too much anime, watching porn (while we’re in a relationship)
- emotional
- fat, lack self-control (drinker, smoker)
- leftist, obsessed with politics, mainstream crap, can’t think for himself
- less logical, more emotional
- not very intelligent or sophisticated

[Bratsondanielle]

I saw a guy one day wearing red nail polish that was creepy. Guys wear black or none at all.

Generally myself personally just want a sweet and caring guy who is nice to others and animals. I don't really care about the tattooed drunk bar brawl type at all.

[alice55]

complaining and whining all the time without searching a solution to his problem.
being extremely skinny (like when you can see the bones).
Panicking, not being in control of his emotion being a cowards and avoiding all possible fight or confrontation (like not being able to talk to someone face to face about serious matter).
make up, tight clothes.

[DanaeAdam5]

-Not standing up for what they believe in

-Being afraid to be themselves

-Putting down other men for doing things such as wear makeup/dresses etc.

-Putting down women and saying that they are 'bitches' or 'gold diggers' or viewing women as a toy

[dezzydoodles]

not wanting to apologize when wrong, trying to control everything, being a boastful bitch, always trying to prove something, belittleing others,

[zxczxczxc43434]

yeah makes sense

[TayTay21]

Being physically frail, mentally weak, whiny, entitled, afraid of hard work... those all would make a guy seem less masculine.

[zxczxczxc43434]

what if he was physically frail/fragile but mentally ok but he's hardworking or kind

[Ninjazzed]

Quick to anger, lives with their parents, complains about how shitty their life is, skinny, emotional.

[dontknow12]

How does living with his parents make him less masculine? Maybe if he's over 40 I can understand but not if he's like 25.

[NYlatefun]

Agree on everything except for skinny, some people just have that body type. Nothing to do with masculinity.

[Ninjazzed]

@NYlatefun Basically skin and bones, no muscle. That’s not very masculine.

[Ninjazzed]

@dontknow12 Because it means he’s not self-sufficient and not in a rush to create his own family.. men are supposed to branch out and become providers, not dependents.

[NYlatefun]

That’s stupid

[Ninjazzed]

@NYlatefun cool, I’m guessing all of the above applies to you.

[dontknow12]

Why should he be in a rush to start a family? Raising a family is ridiculously expensive.

[Ninjazzed]

@dontknow12 Usually the average man is all about creating stability, I guess that’s slowing fading now.

[dontknow12]

Probably because of women who only care about how much money he makes. If all they want to do is leech off his resources then of course there's no rush to settle down.

[Ninjazzed]

@dontknow12 Women make their own money now, I highly doubt it.

But you have to understand something. When a woman gets pregnant, she’ll need his undivided attention and support and she can’t do it on her own. Most men don’t know what to expect or what they’re getting themselves into. This is why there’s so many single moms due to poor judgement and character.

[offendedsorbet]

The word "masculine" is a feminine word. Pretty funny tbh.

[HikerDude]

Words don't have a gender in English, Chomsky.

[offendedsorbet]

Masculine is a French word ✌🏻

[HikerDude]

[Egirl28]

Wearing dresses and makeup

Physically weak

[MissRomantic]

How he dresses, his mannerisms, his interests, and his sensitivity level.

[misunderstoodhoe]

when they make you feel dumb instead of educating you for not knowing something hate that shit

[anmari2001]

Thinking muscular makes you masculine

[hasdrubal164]

does it mean like if you think outside of the box type of thing?

[anmari2001]

Yeah sure, blue pillred pill your choise

[hasdrubal164]

Oh yeah? since when.

[anmari2001]

Now.

[hasdrubal164]

wait is it now? is it comming?

[SpaceGalaxy]

very well-said. A definite candidate for the MHO

[HikerDude]

Being skinny, frail, and fat are less masculine states of physical condition than being muscular. That's why muscular women are said by most people to be masculine. Your argument doesn't hold water.

[RP_Blackburn]

Being cruel/cowardly would do it.

[HollyF]

Not being in control of his own emotions

[JosyJosy]

Dramaqueen or king if you will
