Yes, they also like masculine-looking men and there’s some interesting reasons behind this. It all has to do with the ovulation cycle women experience every month. As you know, ovulation is usually one week out of 4, and during that one week it was found that women on average prefer more masculine features on their ideal partner: i. e. strong jawlines, broad shoulders, muscles, etc. however when they were brought in outside that week and asked what their ideal man looked like, they described men with softer features: i. e. big eyes, plush lips, softer bodies, longer hair, more feminine things like that.
This goes back to the fact that we have not completely evolved from our animal instinct days and that this part of our monkey brains is still present in our minds when women choose partners. Essentially, masculine men make for good inseminators, evolutionarily speaking, but feminine men make for much better fathers.

Only if they don't act like it.
A small percentage of women do, but the man in the photo does not look feminine at all. Look at his jaw, face, and body. Women do not have those features. The only thing feminine about him is his long hair.
My wife comments on this all the time. She wonders what happened to men?

How’s the guy in the photo feminine? Because he has long hair? Men can have long hair and still look/ be masculine..
He looks cute. I don’t think he’s feminine at all.
Don't like long hair and shaved guys. A LITTLE chest hair and no back hair looks best to me, with a more conservative haircut. Long hair usually just looks ratty on men unless they are girlie in their hair care, which is pathetic in my opinion.
Guys are supposed to be a little rough around the edges. I don't want a partner who competes for mirror time.
I like my men with little to no body hair but i am pretty strict about how he dresses or the length of his hair. Skinny jeans is girly and i dislike them. And hair length near like the jawlines or to the shoulders or past the shoulders is too long
No not at all, men should look like men
By the way , guy in the photo doesn't look to feminine except for the hair, he's got a good masculine body
if by feminine you mean a dude who's wears dresses, makeup, dyes their long hair pink or something, hell no no
if by feminine you mean a pretty boy or something like that, yea
Well, what's a feminine man? I do like guys with less body hair, fine facial features, slender muscles, and larger lips, but that's never seemed feminine to me. I've always described my type as 'beautiful men.' It's an odd line, I'll admit. Everyone has slightly differing definitions of what feminine and masculine men are.
The way I see feminine men is girly clothes, high voices, that kind of thing which is not attractive at all.
That guy is NOT feminine. My definition of a feminine male is like those Kpop guys. Just because you have long hair does not make you feminine. There are a few guys at my workplace who are highly attractive, highly masculine and get a lot of attention by women (and some men) and they ALL have long hair.
I think a very small percentage of them do, but not too many.
Hairless and otherwise feminine men never attract me.
Yeah I suppose so but I hate dudes with long hair, its very off putting.. lol
I’m sure some do. Personally, no. I also don’t like really masculine looking women. I like masculine looking men and feminine looking women. That’s what I’m personally attracted to when we’re talking physical appearance only.
Some do, but I think a large part of the appeal is sourcing from the effects of hormonal birth control.
They absolutely do and the media exposes this. All of the heartthrobs are feminine looking guys. Even looking back to a guy like Justin Bieber for example, and many before him.
The guy in the picture looks slightly androgynous at best. You easily could have found a better example than this.
Your questions deserve an award for their originality. Seriously dude don't you have anything better to do than asking the same stereotype questions (do woman like Chads, men with a mustache, men with a beer belly etc.) over and over again? 😂
Yes the problem is feminine looking men also like feminine looking men🤣
If that guy is "feminine" then y'all can keep whatever your definition of masculine is cuz I'm not complaining!!
I know many women that think a guy like that looks too much like a chic lying in the bed.
I can imagine the white sheets and a bare leg hanging out the side like the slit up a dress.
He better not lay face down in prison.
Am I feminine looking with my avatar? I hope so. 😊😊😋😋
