Do you prefer more masculine or more feminine partners?

Question

Berethor · Accepted Answer

Tomboys are cool but I don't want her to be masculine than myself, feminine is safer bet.

NathanDavis · Accepted Answer

genuine ones... I've never had a masculine partner though... I definitely am more than man enough

TheRealPepperPotts · Answer

Oh, my. That depends entirely on how those are defined. If masculine means John Wayne spanking a teenager, not attracted in the slightest. If masculine means strong, calm and collected, hardworking, loyal, resilient and protective, I definitely find that attractive.

There are qualities I particularly notice and appreciate in men like empathy, thoughtfulness, tenderness, authenticity and vulnerability which are considered "feminine", but I don't view men who exhibit those traits as effeminate. I see them as strong and confident in their manhood, with nothing to prove. It's uncommon because guys are conditioned to be "tough", but really that means being defended against vulnerability and locking feelings away in a black box. It doesn't really work to lock away the feelings though; they leak out as anger.

Once, I overheard a father helping his daughter process her feelings of anxiety as they walked into an activity center. She was nervous, and he was calmly and patiently helping her over her fears. It was so precious and powerful.

How strong a man truly is is demonstrated by his ability to help the weak along the way, not crush them.

Feminine / submissive girls’ for me , masculine girls’ are vicious when it comes to relationships, I dated a few and they all turned to shit , so I stay clear of masculine females’

sheenagwapa · Answer

fighting for yourself, defendinf yourself isn't being a tomboy. one shouls a feminine woman do then if let's say someone is trying to hurt you physically. when i was a kid a boy told me that he will wait for me putside and he did wait outside after class so what should i do then? what is the feminine response? my response was is when i see him and he is in my way i immediately attack and kick his legs then i run off. is that being a tomboy? i had some male enemies when i was on my elementary because our teacher always pick me to be in charge on the quietness and orderliness of the class when she is our. i am doing what i am supposed to be doing. i just tell them to be quiet and write down their name on the list. and so some boys hated me. if i didn't do what i did then i am the one who will get hurt. i'm just a firl standing in front of a boy (notting hill 😂) so i immediately attaxk first.

when i was in high school i was never called a tomboy even when in college. my ex not once mentioned i am masculine. defending yourself isn't masculine it is being human

Feminine, but accountable. Feminine, but can do a lot of things on her own. I think with my career, I'd probably be out of town a good amount, so I'd need someone who could pay some bills or call insurance over some gaff without always waiting for me to handle it. I know, good luck finding THAT these days; as most women who could and would tackle that stuff would probably always be fighting for power and dominance in the relationship, and it'd be "I'm a woman, hear me roar... men are worthless." or the common: "I'm a proud boss b*tch!" type thinking. Instead of... "Hey, I can handle this... but I like having men (or "MY MAN") around..." kind of thinking.

Cute_Miss_Laura · Answer

Definitely MORE masculine, but not so masculine that he’s afraid to show his feminine side every now and then. Showing his vulnerable side, or him displaying true empathy, or shedding a tear or two at the end of a really sad movie is a beautiful thing to see in a man! Also another feminine quality is to listen and empathize when I’m telling him about my bad day, to just listen without trying to fix the issues. Just being there, actively listening without telling me what I should have done, or what I need to do next time that happens is a very feminine quality, that most women value in men.

Do you realize how vulnerable you are watching a scary movie without a bodyguard by your side? Hiding under a blanket will only get you so far. Those fuckers have claws.

_SilentWolf_ · Answer

My partner preferences are based on their personalities and the compatibility between us, rather than whether they have more masculine or more feminine characteristics. The important thing is to maintain a relationship with mutual respect, love and understanding. Having similar values with my partner, supporting each other and growing together are the most important criteria for me. Therefore, personal characteristics and common interests trump physical and gender norms.

Masculine.. Im not sure if this is consider as feminine or not, but most guys im with, they are always way oversensitive than me. Hence at the end of the day, im the one who always need to comfort them, help them with this and that. I always wish before to have a guy that at least can let me pampered them abit, but yeah, i get the entire set at the end. Now im the one who need to act tough etc

diversethought · Answer

Feminine but I'll say it's adorable when a female acts masculine from time to time, jokingly or having fun. I. e., does an impersonation of a guy while watching sports, Who's playing? And pops a beer cap off the coffee table and puts her hand in her waist like Al Bundy. All the time, no. Definitely not 24-7. Prefer a woman who acts feminine.

OddBeMe · Answer

I honestly don’t see many of those “traits” akin to masculine or feminine as attractive. Sense of humor. Beauty obviously…but that’s an amalgam of traits like confidence humor etc.

More to the point: psychology might be right in that we choose mates based more on our childhood experiences or parents than traits the mate might have.

Read an article that females look for their fathers “scent” in mates. Eesh.

b_lova · Answer

Feminine all the way. That doesn't necessarily mean overtly girly or anything like that -- just that she has that softer, more feminine vibe to her.
