Do guys find masculine women attractive?

[Anonymous]

Do guys find it attractive when a woman has typically male traits such as muscles, aggression, broad shoulders, square jaw line, etc.
I am female and I find those traits about myself to be the most attractive thing about myself but Im worried that guys would only ever be interested in a typical damsel in distress type of woman, and not a hypermasculine woman who likes to be fit active, strong, agressive...

Personally, I do not find a masculine woman attractive. I'm also not looking for a damsel in distress girly girl. But, honestly the way you've described yourself here... is super unattractive to me. The word "hypermasculine" applied to a woman... is anything but attractive. If I take the picture you're painting of yourself... I would have to agree with you. That is very different from the answers I typically end up giving. But that is the honest truth.

I think that in general, guys don't like 'hypermasculinity' in women. There are certainly a small subset of guys who are going to be very into that... but 95% of guys are not.

BUT...

I wonder if this is REALLY an accurate description of yourself? Obviously I don't know you, but... is it possible that you are painting yourself as more masculine in looks and personality than you truly are?

What I mean is, if I step back, I can imagine a self-assured, strong, fit girl. Like the kind of girl who works out seriously, plays soccer, and is 'sporty'. THAT isn't what I'm saying is unattractive.

It's you who kind of linked the description of yourself to 'maleness' in the way you framed the description of yourself. So my question is, do OTHER people say you're 'masculine'? Is this feedback you get FROM OUTSIDE?

Or is it possible that you're being a bit unfair in the way you're portraying yourself as 'masculine'.

Guys don't have a problem with strong women. Guys don't have a problem with fit or active women. Broad shoulders, a square jaw-line and other physical features are not 'masculine' on a woman automatically. I think they CAN be, but aren't automatically or inherently. Most guys don't have a problem with aggressive women (depending on whether you mean PHYSICALLY aggressive... because guys don't want a girl who might try to get into actual physical fights with people). Personally, I'm not likely to find any woman attractive if "agressive" is one of the key words used to describe her, but tons of guys are.

So I guess what I'm saying is: if I rely on what you wrote here,... you DO sound like someone who guys would not find attractive. I would have to agree with you. On the other hand, I can very much imagine a girl who guys WOULD find attractive... who is giving a somewhat inaccurate depiction of what she's TRULY like (in both looks and personality). If you were as 'masculine' as you seem here... you would be HEARING about that... in various snarky comments, open comments, implied insults etc.

The world would make it super super clear that you were 'hypermasculine' woman if this description were true. My question is: Is that what people are saying about you? Is this a description of you which people who know you would agree is accurate?

The way I see it polarities are what work - So for you to be that masculine you're gonna be liked by dudes that might be more feminine than others - Doesn't have to be gay feminine just more sensitive and more typical feminine traits - Your best case scenario would be if the dude acts not feminine but likes dominant women - So if what you like are jerks (and I mean this in a good wau I'm one of those), or guys that are strong and super muscular, I don't think they'll be attracted to you that much..

There are billions of guys in the world. Some will like what others don't

[OlderAndWiser]

No, most guys want a feminine woman, not a tomboy or a bull dagger lookalike.

[t-8900]

Nope not me. If I wanted masculine I'd be gay since guys are less complex lmao. I love women because they are soft, gentle, nurturing, delicate. I've already had my fun drinking around campfires and getting blazed with the bros. I have no desire to revisit that's. Now I want feminine energy for my lonely heart.

Sometimes she can still be attractive. it has a lot to do with her facial features. For example, Barbara Nepomuceno is cute and attractive to me, but Gabi Garcia is not attractive at all. Also, Claudia Gadelha has an attractive face too, but her tattoos ruined her looks for me. Danielle Van De Donk (Netherlands soccer player) is attractive and she is athletic.

Hell no. Not into dykes or lesbians ("bisexuals"). Very few straight men are, in fact. Straight men don't want "women" whoa re basically men.

[cuzimbored21]

Muscles aren't attractive to me however being fit is. Aggression/assertiveness can definitely be hot during sex but in general no. Broad shoulders aren't attractive to me personally but not a big deal either. Also a square or sharp jawline can sometimes look good on women (like Olivia Wilde for example).

[The_Maphio]

Generally no. Unless they are submissive in nature or have sexual perversion of submissive type.
I heard that it's the type of woman that makes the best female friends though, and you never know what can be born from friendship. Never give up.

[BeMuse]

People that live in extreme poverty tend to like women with sharp facial feature. If you look tough, then maybe you can carry a jug of water on your back for 10 miles every morning...

[TomGarand]

Muscles, aggression, and broad shoulders, yes. Square jaw? Unless you're Lucy Lawless--AKA the actress who played Xena--probably not gonna care either way.

What other male traits would you say you have?

[TomGarand]

Also, mind DMing me?

[UnicornLobotomy]

If you are actually a woman and you don’t have some hormonal issue I’m sure you don’t really have “masculine traits” the average guy is still stronger than those cross fit women. You’ll be fine.

[ikEVERYTHING]

Well. It depends what you mean, as in a woman who likes some masculine activities, yeah most men don't mind. We just don't like when women almost try to become men y'know, that is very unattractive but simple things like formerly mentioned are fine.

[Avicenna]

Yeah, well, hypermasculinity is obviously not going to be attractive to men

[FilmGuy93]

Being fit and muscular doesn't mean that you aren't feminine. Masculine men don't tend like masculine women.

[Anonymous]

Nope, certainly not. I don't look down on anyone who has it, but don't want to be with women who can crack your jaw with their thighs when things get steamy.

[demos222r]

Sometimes. Like I don't want giant "strongman" type muscles. But if she is fit and toned. Hell yeah. Thighs that can crack my skull like a walnut are a plus

[Shy_Steve]

No, Not really.
We want a Feminine Woman because we enough masculinity from Guys.

[DaveJord]

Not really unless the sex is really good.

[NetSapien]

Aggression no, the rest I'm perfectly fine with.

[NetSapien]

I mean, a woman can be into sports, work out and gain musculature, rough house, drink beer, share nearly all my likes and still retain her femininity. So I wouldn't say no.

[Jhonrembo]

I like it. It’s turn me on.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yuck. No.

[In_Trance]

not at all
