Why do I attract very masculine men?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I think I attract less masculine too, but I have noticed I do attract a lot of socially dominant , highly masculine men and generally aggressive men.

I might feel attraction back, but I never act on it because I don’t like them romantically, I would much rather have a nice guy love me. I do attract nice guys too, but “bad boys” tend to have a thing for me.

I do attract them a lot I think.

I wonder why?

[Joshydavid25]

Well, while men are more aggressive, masculinity is not measured by how aggressive and "loud" a man is.. A nice guy more quiet guy could be just as masculine but not highly aggressive at least in most cases.. But, I can assure those aren't the only types of men you attract, just the ones bold enough to come up to you I suppose..

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Not aggressive to me. Generally socially dominant vibes. To me they act sweet, nice and chivalrous.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

That might be true, they do approach me quite often.

How do I make nice guys approach me more often? I am shy, I look confident but I am shy and maybe they expect me to make a 1st move

[Joshydavid25]

I figured.. So what you saying is you don't like the louder, leader of the pack type guys "Alpha" type guys.. But the maybe more laid back in the cut type of guys..

[Joshydavid25]

Well, you asked the right guy because I'm more the laid back, nice guy type.. I guess saying hi, having a big smile on your face, maybe complimenting some on them. A little bit of prolonged eye contact never hurts either.. They'll get the hints and feel compelled to at least wanna say something..

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yes, I don’t necessarily like them, I might be attracted physically but I don’t act on it. They are very attracted to me though… And always approach me.

I might go into the room and the most dominant guy will pick me to approach. I don’t know why. Nice guys do approach me too, but more often I am approached by socially dominant ones. They do act very sweet to me, but I know they are not and I’d rather stay away.

[Joshydavid25]

I feel that one.. It's good that you are discerning at the very beginning instead of going for the reckless looking guy who is asking you out..

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yes, I had to learn that early on. As a girl you kind of have to filter out all the attention you get and try to analyze what their intentions are

[Joshydavid25]

That's true.. Well, give a big ol smile to the nice, laid back guys.. Thank you for MHO by the way.. 😁

[ProbablyClueless]

You have a very feminine, gentle vibe, based on my interactions with you.

[Hiittyinn]

Lmfao.

[ProbablyClueless]

@Hiittyinn lmao I guess you disagree with my take then? I don't know, man. All I can do is go by the interactions and conversations I've had with her online.

[Hiittyinn]

Chiiilee… okay

[Nirmroth]

Ouch

[ProbablyClueless]

@Nirmroth Ouch?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Thank you 😇

[Meropatrick]

I think u r shy and submissive. Or really intimidating to approach like having a resting bitch face syndrome. Aggressive guys r the one who dare to approach u and maybe take its as a Challange. Nice guys would not approach u ever. Because as long as the aggressive guys are hovering around u they won't allow them to come close or compete.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am not that submissive, I can be, but I can also be dominant, I am just shy and at times, I do probably have a resting bitch face.

[Meropatrick]

Ok then that explains it. Nothing more scary to a nice guy than a girl with resting bitch face. But this is something u can't help. So my advice if u like a nice guy just try to be the one to make a move. Strike up a conversation smile at him this will encourage him to ask u out.

[Robocod]

If you're a good looking girl you attract any type of men so just pick up the nice guy you like the most.

If you mean you get more attention from masculine men then it's just a problem of perception: they tend to be more bold and straightforward so they give you the illusion they are more than nice guys.

What to do in this case? If you're shy I see no other option than try to overcome it at least a bit and let the lovely guy know he has a chance. I'm not saying you should throw yourself at him, but, I don't know, smile at him (a shy smile is enough, actually, if you blush it's even better), be approachable, ask him personal questions so he knows you're interested. Then it's his turn to make his move.

[SunnyRS]

It may not be that.
The more masculine and dominant men take charge and show their attraction towards to on the other hand nice guys might not do that, so it's not necessary you attract more masculine men, it might be the case that the sweet and nice ones don't approach you much.

[zeitgeist057]

exactly. It's the ones that shoot the shot that you see.

[Andres77]

Well, I hope you find a nice, empathetic and kind masculine man someday.

[AmeerX]

That's the neat thing. You don't.

Attraction is more a God's gift. You can be attracted to a woman without her trying and or be repulsed by her.

Trying to make a person like you is the worst

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I don’t try anything… Can you read English? I said “why”? I didn’t say “How”, I don’t need an instruction, I do already attract them.

[AmeerX]

And here is your answer. You attract them but just as a girlfriend. You think they love you and all but try to marry one and you will not be able to do so. It's not that simple.
You are only attractive now because you are young

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Why do you decide what makes me attractive? Believe me I will be attractive at any age ;)

I am now sexier than I was at 18.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

You are young too, are you attractive just cause of that? Or what are you trying to say?

[AmeerX]

Hey, I am not saying anything. I am just saying what do you want. Lots of people who like your looks or someone who will love you and tie the knot?
Manly attraction is different from women. I am sure not everyone will look beautiful like Michelle Pfeiffer, so you don't have to say that you are more beautiful than you were at 18. Of course women are most beautiful from 25+ to age 35+- 5 years.

I am just saying you are attractive to people only superficially. Will a single guy marry you in return when you tell him to do that or just waste your time by giving long and hollow promises.

[glennos89]

Also the masculine men have a soft side if you get to know them! If you give them the space to be vulnerable with you without using it against him, he will open up the soft side for you

[Levin]

Extreme yang attracted to extreme yin? What energy are you giving out? Generally dominant guys go for very submissive girls.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Depends... what do you consider a masculine man? Who you're trying to attract determines how you go about doing that.

[OfMiceandMen]

Are you a very feminine type woman? Could be the whole opposites attract thing and looking at the different spectrums.

[PresidentLucia]

It only seems this way because the "nice guys" are more than likely either too polite, composed, or simply pussy to make their advances on you.

[Sevenpointfive]

do you work out? do you take care of your body and it shows?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

How does it matter about this question?

[Sevenpointfive]

because if that were the case, gym rats love talking about their bodies and fitness. this could be an easy opening for a guy to get to know someone like you (if that's the case). unless you have a different definition of masculine men

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I jog sometimes and do some simple exercises at home.
But other than that I don’t do much now, have no time.

I was thinking they might be attracted to my body shape, waist to hip ratio or something.

I guess those type of men are more attracted to my body type

[Sevenpointfive]

you are probably attractive to most guys, but these very masculine men are super confident and more inclined to ask a girl like you out

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Why wouldn’t nice guys be confident enough to approach more often?

[Sevenpointfive]

ugly guys or average guys would likely not approach you. they lack confidence and themselves. i can't answer for all of them but there's many things about one's own self to be insecure of that would limit their interaction with you.

[Grond21]

Masculine man, men who are very confident, or bad boys? Those are not all the same.

Also, naturally feminine women always attract masculine men.

[Still-alive]

Masculine men are usually more prone to approach then less masculine ones. Because approaching is generally seen as a masculine action.

[Still-alive]

Also I believe you said you live in China right? Its a patriarchal country so it makes sense more masculine men approaches you there

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am not talking about Chinese men. I have been asked out by the men of lots of different nationalities.

Georgians, Russians, Americans, British, Swedish, German, French, Italians, Ukrainians, Dutch, Colombians, South Africans, Turkish, Chinese, Korean, Australian, Indonesian, Brazilian - I might forget some. So on and on.

One thing is common, the ones who approach me tend to be very confident and socially dominant ones.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

All of them offline.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am not counting the online ones.

[Still-alive]

Yup so ill just reiterate my point that the masculine types tend to do most of the approaching. If you don’t want those types either try approaching yourself or you may have to simply befriend a few guys first before they feel comfortable wanting to be more than from with you later.

[Still-alive]

more than friends with you later i mean*

[Yellovv]

If you want to hear real answer, I guess you are thinking they can fuck more good.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I do attract, I am not attracted;)

[Yellovv]

Yeah that's what I am saying that's why you are thinking they are more attractive for you, not only you most of the girls want to see guys more masculine because girls like to see power on them by guys..

[Anonymous]

Maybe because you look very feminine?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I think I am generally feminine personality wise

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

And I have a very feminine body shape

[Opinion Owner]

That strongly attracts masculine men to be honest

[msc545]

I think you pick them.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I never approach them.

[Anonymous]

Are you saying masculine men are "bad boys"?

[AtheArcher]

It could be that you are a very attractive person. Looks and all!

[Anonymous]

You're a traditionally hot looking femme fatale, that's why.

[Yannae]

Could be the femininity.
