Would you date an androgynous person?

[thatkendy]

Androgynous doesn't equal non-binary

[Ninaface]

So many people are ignorant of what androgeny means that its giving me a headache. No, its not a new term. No, wearing your hair short, wearing a suit; or putting on a dress and makeup doesn't make you androgynous. No, it has nothing to do with mental health or gender identity. The only way you can really have androgeny is to be naturally born that way, take hormones, or have plastic surgery.
A lot of men and women who have more androgynous traits often suffer from hormonal disorders, pcos being one that effects 10% of women. But some are also just having been granted more features from the parent of the opposite sex. Another thing that I've noticed since I was little, though still does not have much research into it is people with autism that tend to be more androgynous. Thats why I was shocked when I learned that Shawn Murphy in the good doctor wasn't actually autistic, because he physically presents like a lot of them do.
Sometimes genetics also play a role. German women or Korean men will have more androgynous looks, and also tend to have atypical hormonal balances.
Almost all androgynous folk are easily identified as the gender they were born as, they just look more masculine or feminine than what is typical. But even those who are split directly in between, I find the men and women beautiful still. Not to mention model agencies LOVE them. Most the top models have more atypical gender presentations.
All of these closed minded attitudes is probably why so many people feel the need to transition smh. Most androgynous women especially tend to over compensate to look feminine, with long hair, monthly waxing, and always wearing makeup and despising how they look. These foul attitudes are the cause of that mentality. Looking more masculine or feminine doesn't make you any less of a man or woman.
You guys really need to learn how to use Google.

[Ninaface]

Go ahead and downvote, you're just proving that I insulted and hurt your poor little fewins by pointing out your pathetic inability to type in a simple word to Google.
You can not prefer androgynous men or womeb without being an ass smh.

[Nomina]

No, I like manly looking men. The rugged aspect and I don't mean hollywood rugged - although there are some great examples - is very attractive to me.

I see the appeal to androgyny, there is something intriguing about the look. But it's not my cup of tea.

[MCheetah]

Nah fam. I don't want to date mannish-looking females and/or transpeople and neither does literally any other straight male. Mackenzie Davis looks like an abomination to me. That's the super-rare, perfect "50% pure androgyny" look there. They can equally be a biological female as much as a man/tranny. Real women aren't supposed to have boxer's jaws. And heterosexuals aren't going to be interested in people like this, at all.

[hahahmm]

No, I would not participate in supporting a confused person's mental illness. Not only because it could lead to me catching their mental illness but because I would then be a bad role model for children and others which only contributes to the decline of western society.

[charlean]

👴🏻

[Ninaface]

Girl/Boy born with more masculine/Feminine bone structure, or hormonal disorder = mental illness
What? 😂

[hahahmm]

@Ninaface That may be the text book definition but socially, the only time I've ever heard the word used is when it comes to attention whores who choose to be seen as ambiguous by putting work in to make that happen. Not someone who just has their own natural look which I wouldn't include here.

[Ninaface]

The poster specifically says they're not talking about non binary

[hahahmm]

@Ninaface To me it's a meaningless question if you take it literally since I never dated people who show their genitals before dating but yes, I know many of you do.

[Ninaface]

Huh? Its not meaningless. Androgynous people are not the same as trans or non binary, and typically are easily seen as the gender they're born as. Most high fashion or runway models constitute as Androgynous, but most if them also got bullied growing up because they look more girl or boyish than what's typical.
You're actually gonna sit here and say "I know the textbook definition and I know the poster means the textbook definition but I'm gonna use the definition of an entirely different word" 🤣🤣 androgeny has nothing to do with how you present yourself with hair, makeup, and clothes; and everything to do with bone structure, physical traits, and body shape.

[hahahmm]

@Ninaface One of the features of GAG is we can express opinions that you or the asker disagree with.

[Ninaface]

Except you're not disagreeing with the asker. You're talking about a different subject entirely, one i actually agree with. I wouldn't date a non binary or trans person although I'm bisexuality. But I would date an androgynous person. It's about being secure in the body you were born in.
But I repeat myself, entirely different subject so its pretty irrelevant here.

[hahahmm]

@Ninaface It's not about agreeing/disagreeing with OP. The question was neutral.

[Ninaface]

The question was pretty clear. You're just turning it into an entirely different subject. But you do you.

[OlderAndWiser]

Hell no. I want a woman who actually looks like a woman - a feminine woman.

[Ryfyle]

Good news, androgynous women are impossible.

[kaylaS91]

No.
I'm attracted to men because they possess traits (both physical and behavioural) that are associated with cisgendered men. I'd have a hard time being attracted to someone who presents as a mix of both genders, y'know?

[Danny_dan92]

People that make new classifications of genders/type of humans just want to feel special and wanted.


Go see a psychologist if you need someone to talk too

[Ninaface]

Androgyny isn't new... its just when someone has more traditionally masculine or feminine features. Usually due to hormonal disorders, but can also just be they inherited a lot of features from the parent of the opposite sex. Not really sure how psychology would help that. 🤣🤣🤣

[Danny_dan92]

Because when people have these disorders. They feel lost, helpless, isolated from society. So MAYBE. Having a professional that deals with emotions and behavior can help them.

Homosexuals and transgender people are legit the only group of human beings that have a flag dedicated to their classification of people. You do not see a flag for straight females or straight males do you? Why though?

Oh yes, because again. THEY, feel isolated from society. So as a result they do things like wear certain clothing, hold up flags as a way to virtue signal. Like YES I’M GAY, LOOK AT ME!

Umm yeah. Nobody cares. You’re a human being just like everyone else. Everyone is different and not everybody cares to know your sexuality

[Ninaface]

Except androgeny has nothing to do with social environment or mental health?

[19magic]

Does that mean a person who is post-op transgender? I'm getting confused with all the new stupid terms, just call it as it is. If so then no I like my men to look like men thanks

[smallandtiny]

What's wrong with feminine men? They have dicks too they just look little more like girl than a guy, I am one and I just want to know

[impossiblebones]

Depends what you mean by androgynous. If you mean a he/she, no I would never in a million years date a tranny. If you mean a girl with short hair, hell no.

[shorty_samy]

Well, I personally identify as pansexual, which means I don't care what the person dresses as, identify as, or names themselves. If they have a good personality, I don't mind either way! <3

[tripptt69]

How is it diff than bi?

[shorty_samy]

Well, bi is dating both genders, but Pan is dating ALL genders, and dating them regardless of their gender identity or sex.

[tripptt69]

Ok ty

[AlexanderAnttila]

I'm not in favor of people trying to look as a sexually ambivalent as possible. It's wrong, and frankly just looks ridiculous. Men are men and women are women for a reason and we are beautiful in our masculinity and femininity.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Yes, I would date someone who is androgynous. Some people just have features that are unlike their biological sex.

With that being said, I rarely see anyone who is androgynous.

[t-8900]

never heard of that before. But looking at the pic you posted... I've never looked at MJ or an female MJ look-alike and thought to myself "yeah i want to hit that" HEEE-HEEEE LOL :P

[Honesttguy]

I dont know what that means, is that half robot or something?

[Anonymous]

Yes

People have mistaken me for a trans person before.. so I guess I’m kinda androgynous, but not really on purpose. I think it’s attractive when someone isn’t afraid to show their female or male qualities even when they’re not assigned that gender at birth. This is coming from a guy who used to dye his hair and wear eyeliner occasionally (I was a goth kid haha)

[DarkWinterNights]

No, there is no attraction there. As a straight guy I would rather date a trans woman who actually at least looks like a woman.

[ADFSDF1996]

Nope.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/9wO5TnYaJ4o

[MotorcycleMan]

I've always kinda like tom-boys. Does that count? lol

[worldscolide]

Nope, I'm not interested in someone that doesn't look traditionally female, and is not genetically female.

[charlean]

To be honest, I probably wouldn’t be attracted to them so no but it’s not completely off the table

[Anonymous]

Sure, if that's the person's self-image, but I'm bisexual, so I appreciate both masculine and feminine characteristics. In terms of physical appeal, I don't think I'd mind it

[Sweetener_]

I'm tired of this nonsense.

[Ailito]

Yes, probably more so then others. I think they are more attractive.

[KrakenAttackin]

No, never. It is femininity that is attractive about a woman to me.

[ODC2112]

Short answer: no.
Long answer: no, but with more words.

[Ryfyle]

That card does not work on me. I am far too perceptive and well experienced in the patterns of human behavior. And When has Non-Binary not translated into "Young Woman desperate for attention"?

[simpforeddie]

ew...

[Ryfyle]

@simpforeddie Twink hunter spamming and seething.

[SunnyCaliGirl]

Never heard of it till seeing this thread, whats the definition?

[Joshua0213]

A young girls who wants attention is what it is 99% of the time

[SunnyCaliGirl]

@Joshua0213 Oh ok thanks for your help in my understanding

[Ninaface]

He doesn't know what he's talking about. Its people who naturally have more traditionally masculine or feminine features; usually due to hormonal disorders. Honestly I'm pretty shocked at how many people don't know what it is. And even more shocked by how many people are bringing mental health into it when they're entirely ignorant.
Being androgynous isn't something you can make yourself be just by putting on a suit, having short hair, or wearing a dress and makeup. Its just the bone structure and general natural build of a person.

[pink_and_inlove]

My boyfriend kinda looks androgynous when he has long hair

[BurbankRob]

No. Call me crazy, but I like women who look like women.

[Shiningtempest]

@thatkendy I would never date an androgynous person because my Spidey-sense tells me I share absolutely nothing in common with an androgynous person.

[OddBeMe]

It just means we can’t determine sex at the moment. I would imagine eventually I would.

[Anonymous]

No. I like chicks who look like girlie girls. Hourglass bodies and long hair.

[Anonymous]

I didn’t even understand your clarification. Where’s the “Key” for this fable, so that I can see what your rationalization process is.”

[User1224567]

Androgynous is non binary because nobody can determine if you’re male or female or mtf ftm

[Anonymous]

never. If possible, I'd rather date a man like a man.

[boggboss]

What are we then defining as a androgynous person?

[Ninaface]

Just someone who looks more masculine or feminine than what is traditional. Pretty much all androgynous folk are obvious that they're the gender that they were assigned at birth; but they look more in between. Such as a woman with a strong sharp jaw, or a man with a lean and thin figure. Although just one thing wouldn't be enough to really classify as that.

[boggboss]

Oh I see more likely then not no then I guess

[Ninaface]

A lot of androgynous folk tend to be runway or high fashion models, that's why they also tend to have stories of being bullied growing up. Its not for everyone, but for those who appreciate the beauty in something unique; its well sought after.

[boggboss]

Thats completely fair enough and I would hope they are I simply dont think I would be attracted to a women that has masculine features dont mean I think they are ugly just I'm not attracted to them

[Ninaface]

Yeah, that's why a lot of people don't find a woman like billie eilish attractive either. She leans into her androgynous side sometimes as well, which I think is fun. Being secure in femininity or masculinity without feeling the need to change your gender. But even when she's very dressed up, its clear she still looks a bit different than a typical woman. Though she'd be more on the lower end of androgeny.
Its understandable, just the sad truth is a lot of people are hateful or bully those for it. Thats why so many short skinny boys with weak chins get thrown into the dumpster. Or tall girls with broad shoulders and a strong jaw get hazed and gossiped about.

[boggboss]

Wait I wouldn't class her as that maybe I dont understand properly 😅

[Ninaface]

She is. Strong jaw, wide chin, low brow bone and thick brows. She's not traditional, to say the very least. Thats why her face is unforgettable. She stands out amongst the more feminine women.

[boggboss]

Ah fair enough I would say she still obviously looks feminine but meh 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Ninaface]

That's usually true of androgynous folk. They'll look more like the gender they're born as, but with a lot of the opposite as well. She's still very clearly a woman, but she's boyish too. Sometimes its someone whose confusing, split right down the middle. Or its someone who looks like the opposite gender. But those two are more atypical.

[boggboss]

So I did a little Google search of examples of androgynous women and decided as with most things some I would have been attracted to others I wouldn't so ill say I'm in the middle and would date as long as I was attracted to them

[Ninaface]

Thats more the kinda of response I thought I'd find in the comments tbh. The fact that everyone was all "hell no" perplexed me a lot. Like everything its a spectrum of yes and nos unless you have a very narrow idea of what you're willing to date. Which whatever floats their boat I guess.

[boggboss]

Most likely just a poor understanding of what it is I'm still not solid on it but understand its much bigger area then I first thought for me the word made me think of women that looked like guys but meh

[Ninaface]

Its for men and women. To put in another perspective, it can be due to genetics to make this kind of presentation as well. Such as German woman looking more masculine, or korean men more feminine.
Interesex or hormonal disorders can also cause this kind of look. Pcos effects 10% of women and usually the hormones cause them to present more masculine also.
It can also just be having more features from a parent of the opposite sex too.
There are ways to force it, such as surgery or hormonal pills/foods (soy actually makes men more effeminate, and a lot of the fats, sugars, and oils and hormones in foods can make women more masculine.)
I grew up knowing the term. I didn't realize it was this obscure, I thought it was well known. b

[boggboss]

No I only found out about the term itself in recent years before it was just tomboy 😅 I guess its one of those things once u know you know but if u don't might aswell be magic until explained or researched

[Ninaface]

Naaah tomboy is just a term for girls who like more boyish things. They often happen to be androgynous but its not a rule of thumb.

[boggboss]

I know that now lol but back then that would have been the word I used but yeah it not somthing that gets talked about that much like I think this is the first time I have had a in detail convo about it in my life 😅

[Ninaface]

Its really nice that you were so open to one.

[boggboss]

I like talking lol having s informed convo is always worth it u seem pretty chill also I would say fine get too pissed by the responses here if they are anything like me they are simply misinformed

[Kaneki05]

Sure, ruby ross is hot so i don't see why not.

[Diodoro]

I'm attracted to feminine women

[doopayo]

Yes ! Androgynous women look so cool

[casserolie]

i dont know what that is

[BCA6010]

Probably not. I hate the look.

[JBlade]

Sure, sign me up lol.

[224466881010]

If they have a female figure I might consider it.

[Cherry234]

I don't know probably not

[Renegade_Sailor]

Nope. I am not even dating women with short hair.

[FinalFantasyBro]

Sorry lady it just not my thing

[jspl90]

[Justneedtokno]

If it happens it happens

[CollegeGirl007]

Nope

[Rangers]

You mean a severely mentally ill liberal? Hell no

[Abdulwahh]

No strictly feminine only

[spookywashere]

No. Not my thing.

[007kingifrit]

doubt it. needs to be feminine

[Kingofkings1992]

I’d rather stick my dick in a blender

[Joshua0213]

This

[Darksign]

Wtf is that. Only females

[bamesjond0069]

No because they are unattractive

[Anonymous]

Yea sure why not? They’re just regular people :)

[CharlieBadger]

[Ninani]

Yes, it's sexy!

[HawkPerception]
