What makes a woman feminine to you?

Question

what are characteristics of femininity to you?

ritxi · Accepted Answer

Feminity is by definition a set of features of women. There are some which are natural, like:
- Big boobs
- Thin arms
- Acute voice
- Long eyelashes
Every woman with all of these natural feminine features is quite feminine to me.

In the other hand, there are some other features that some girls choose and make them more feminine, because guys hardly choose them. I'm listing them from most to least important for me:
- Long hair. Few guys have their hair shoulders length or longer but most girls do, so a girl whose hair is shoulders length or longer is more feminine for me and she's more feminine as longer her hair is.
- Shoes. I don't really like high heels and I find them unnecesary to be feminine, but the shoes that are feminine for me are ballerinas, sandals, knee high boots and heels of every height.
- Waxed arms and legs.
- Long nails.
- Feminine clothes. Like dresses, tops, skirts and earrings.
- Feminine perfume.
- Colored hair. There are some girls who look feminine to me just having this feature, for example:

The combination of colored long hair is really feminine:

- Make up.
- Painted nails.

*Curvy figure - larger breasts, wide hips, etc.

*Has eyes you can get lost in.

*Healthy, longer hair

*Soft voice

*Acts like a lady... nice, charming, dresses modestly.

*Likes to have fun, but not too much... can be serious.

That's the kind of girl I want! :)

Are girls allowed to answer this one? lol

I feel like some of the guys are mixing up being "girly" and being feminine. Wearing skirts and dresses doesn't make you feminine. Being feminine is more about how you carry yourself, in my opinion. It takes some amount of class and maturity. I know plenty of girls who wear skirts/dresses on a regular basis, spend tons of time on hair and makeup, etc., but act trashy. That's not feminine to me. I guess I see being girly as more of an outside trait while femininity is something internal.

Being feminine is simply acting like a female!

Whether its her style

the way she speaks,

the way she walks

the way she acts and reacts

the way she laughs

the way she eats

etc etc etc

Its not about wearing dresses, believe me I know a lot of girls who wear dresses and have an extreme boyish behavior.

Make up, dresses and hair is a bonus!

I have no idea. She can wear guy clothes but women just have that feminine energy that you can just sense. It's written in her face and on her body and it's in the way she moves. It's in how she talks and her expressions. I can't describe it but I can feel it. I can't put it better than say that women know best what is feminine - it's you being your girly, womanly self, it's when you're happy and fulfilled and it radiates out from you. When you're feeling at your best you're at your most feminine.

Transigence · Answer

Uselessness, ineptitude, weakness (mental, emotional, esp. physical), and really, really poor clothing choice (clothes that do not cover or protect, shoes that injure your feet, ankles, legs, hips, and back), chemical face masks, corrosive body decoration, disgusting fingernails, childish behavior, and emotional retardation.

Basically, anything that forces the nearest masculine figure to take responsibility for you is femininity.

I don't really care for femininity.

ritxi · Answer

There are some features that make a woman feminine in a natural way, like:
- Big boobs.
- Sharp voice.
In the other hand, there are some other feature that make a woman feminine, based on social stereotypes:
- Having long hair and want men to keep their short.
- Keeping their arms and legs shaved and want men to keep their hairy.
- Wear dresses or shorts, make-up, nail polish.

Lockjawx27 · Answer

1.Long hair, at least shoulder length

2.Should not weigh over 130

3. Girly-playful voice.

4. No drama. No fighting other women or ranting about your ex-boyfriend

5. Sexy skirts

6. DOESN'T look or act sloppy. Sloppy is a turn-off. Clumsiness is a turnoff.

7. Be able to sit still. Stop fidgeting

8. Attention span. You should be able to sit through a long movie without complaining even if you don't like it. Its called being polite. You should also be interested in what the guy has to say, GENUINELY, instead of waiting for him to stop so you can go on and on about yourself

Feminine women understand the world doesn't revolve around them. They are not attention whores

FakeName123 · Answer

The way she behaves, carries herself, expresses herself, being delicate. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly.

What feminity isn't - even though that seems to be the common (mis-) understanding these days - is makeup, high heels and/or weakness.

Being feminine is more a state of mind than a look.

i_love_women · Answer

many things. but basically it could just be not acting like a guy. from things like..not burping..to things like wearing more dresses and skirts than pants and shorts

JuicyBrain · Answer

Being feminine is on the inside, not the outside. You can take a boyish girl and put her in a fancy dress, it won't make her any more feminine...

shyguy26 · Answer

Dressing nice, having nice hair, smelling good, doing cute things (making a present instead of buying it), calling just because, etc...
