Are androgynous people attractive?

[ebbyeb]

Androgynous: Basically, a human that looks feminine and masculine at the same time. It's sometimes hard to distinguish the actual sex of an androgynous person.

The top two images are females that appear to have more masculine features and the two pictures directly above are males that have more feminine features.

I'm just curious if you find any of these people attractive. I'm not saying to go gay for anyone.. That's not what I'm saying. There's a difference between "that's attractive" and "I'd bang that."
I recognize the beauty that my fellow females have all the time.. Doesn't mean that I'd like to have sex with them lol. So please don't make this a question about "well I'm straight soo" because that'll just be a form of spam as you obviously didn't read my question and/or are simply being obnoxious.
Please take this question seriously fam.

Yes, they're attractive.

They're somewhat attractive.

Neutral.

They're not that attractive.

I don't find them attractive at all.

Other Opinion/Comment

[sjoes006]

Sure, absolutely. Jared Leto BC Dallas Buyers' is a pretty good example. Usually the biggest indicator or sex is voice.

If far as looks you can usually tell native sex, if they have one, but I know I've seen individuals from both sexes seem really appealing.

Usually it comes down to how they carry themselves and ofcourse overall aesthetics. Some originally gender assigned women have really turned me on but when the pants come off I'm not sure I'm there yet.

More likely, if a gender fluid person assigned the gender of male at birth who identifies more as female but kept his parts, I could see that working. Not with any person but with the right person.

My problem comes in usually because gender fluids may also be bisexual in cases where they are into women. I'm down with that but only so long as we are completely monogamous. My concern is infection from small traces of fecal matter going out ones in and into another's. Very serious problems occur for the vagina when exposed to fecal matter. Trust me I have the same concerns if the butt of my own. It leads to UTI infections which are soooo painful and can spread to kidneys.

Not speaking from experience on the butt stuff but certainly am on a UTI. Just imagine you dick having a burning internal feeling, feeling like you have to pee every second and submitting to the fetal position. That's a UTI.

Doctors cancel appointments and move things around to treat a UTI. I've had doc in a box grocery store clinics agree to see me after hours and write a script without even a test when I called ahead.

I've only ever had 2 UTI's. But I've also seen good friends go through them waiting for the doctor. It's not a good situation. It's worse than the flu and again can damage your kidneys. So no poop related anything belongs in or near my vajajay even if you've showered.

[ebbyeb]

Ah yeah I getcha. For me it's sorta just on the individual since each story is way different person to person etc.

But yeesh that sounds horrible!

[peachblossomluck]

The ones you have presented are attractive androgynous people. It's hard not to admire them. The fashion industry wants androgynous people for their models! There are a lot of creepy ones too who have off-putting behaviors, things they need to watch because they could get mistaken easily for the opposite gender.

[Justacatlady]

I think its the same with androgynous as it is with distinct gender. It all depends on the person. Some are very attractive and some aren't.

[ebbyeb]

Not necessarily "distinct".. One could recognize an attractiveness but not necessarily be attracted to it.

[Justacatlady]

I meant someone who clearly looks male or female.

[ry_beyond]

I think it'd be fun to date a guy with long hair. If you're bad at fashion and he is, get tips! You can braid each others' hair and cuddle! Sounds like a great boyfriend to me!

[ebbyeb]

Omg! I never thought about it that way 😂😂 but that's so true!

[qwertyKitchen]

The first female has an incredibly beautiful and very feminine face. It's just her shirt and haircut that make her look masculine. Some might say she has manly shoulders, but I think it's more the shirt and the way the prominent seams square them off. I may have a bias because I think strong shoulders on women are attractive in any case. Think Halle Berry or Lauren Graham, for example.

wpc.4d27.edgecastcdn.net/.../H2.jpg
s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...6ebdc36ed8.jpg

The second female isn't attractive to me. She looks like a pubescent boy and I just am not attracted.

The guys are good looking guys. Maybe I say that because they look feminine? Not sure. Take away the makeup, goofy eyebrows, and long hair, the second guy still has a feminine face. His chest, shoulders, and arms look male, though.

With the first guy, I don't think his face is feminine, it's just his hair. It surprises me to say that, since I used to have longer hair for years myself. (Barely long enough for a pony tail.) When I cut it like 5 years ago, the comments from all the women who know me were very surprising. Some told me I finally looked like a guy; others really mourned it and said guys with longer hair were their favorites.

Voted B, they're somewhat attractive.

[ebbyeb]

Nicely said! I love when people take the time to thoroughly answer a question tbh. But yeah those were just example pictures just to jog people's mind and show an example of what you'd typically find I suppose. Of course every androgynous person looks much different from the other though.

[qwertyKitchen]

Thank you. I much prefer thoughtful and thorough answers myself. :-)

Androgynous can be ugly (the Pat character from SNL is an exaggerated example) or downright scary (David Bowie/Grace Jones), too.

[qwertyKitchen]

Also, the first male example of yours, his face is really male. A jaw doesn't get any more square. I think really light eyes contrasting with darker hair (like his brows) is a just a trait that most people find attractive. Again, Lauren Graham is an example of that as well.

[ebbyeb]

Yeah! Of course!

Yeah there's definitely some who pull off the look nicely and some who don't. Like any other fashion sense though!

Yeah it's actually pretty interesting since he has a very masculine face but the overall effect is somewhat feminine overall.

[qwertyKitchen]

Thank you for MHO! :-)

[Levin]

I do find myself going for women with *some* male characteristics. And it's not cause I'm a 'fag', or what have you. A person's physiognomy should be somewhat reflective of their psyche. So a mixture of sensitivity and beauty with strength is probably reflective of being an almost 'complete' human being. Someone who can draw on both sides. I'm quite feminine looking in some respects, and masculine in others, I think.

A nice example.

http://teal-blog.s3.amazonaws.com/2013/10/0636.jpg

But the examples you give are too far in the other direction. They still need to be femiine and beautiful to me. I'm very much about aesthetics.

[rjroy3]

Teal swan right?

[ebbyeb]

Very well said! And yeah I used more of extreme examples to show a bit more of an exaggeration of what it is or else people could get confused 😅 But the example you provided could definitely be considered androgynous as well! There's subtle signs of more defining features like you typically find in a male, like you said. They're much more subtle though compared to what I used

[Levin]

@rjroy3 Aye.

@ebbyeb Aye, agreed.

[Dargil]

I was in my teens.
www.lustralboy.com/.../lboctstav2(1)(1).jpg
Puberty came on slowly. Girls my age (15 and 16) knew I was "safer" than the thugs, greasers and jocks and I experienced quite a lot of intimacy. They knew I would keep it to myself. When I cut my hair and bulked up with weight training, that went away. But before that, I got blown a lot!

[ebbyeb]

Haha huh that's interesting. Maybe it's some sort of psychological effect that guy who have longer hair girls feel more comfortable around since girls typically have longer hair? 🤔 Well that's quite interesting to think about lmao

[COCOCHANEL]

you should have stayed that way

[Dargil]

@COCOCHANEL In behalf of girl attraction power maybe, but I got picked on a lot by, yep, thugs, greasers and jocks because I was... cute. So by the end of high school, I looked more like this.
www.mmnpcva.com/.../CodyHaslip_Tall.jpg
They stopped picking on me but but the girls stopped knocking. Difficult trade off.

[COCOCHANEL]

you picked men over women ？ (・・;)
i'm not sure if i agree with the reasoning that they liked you more than others because they
felt you were safer. i think it's primarily about physical attraction.

[Dargil]

@COCOCHANEL I didn't "pick" men. I had to arm myself against them. And I still got my share after my transition. But I hadnto do the inviting.
.

[LaikaFreefall]

I feel like androgynous guys are often considered attractive. Take boy bands for example. A good number of these guys look damn near feminine, yet they're men. And considered teenage heart throbs to legions of raving girls and women the world over.

I dont find the same to be true for androgynous women. The "is that a girl?" look isn't as appealing to heterosexual men, i guess?

[ebbyeb]

Yeah I get what you mean. Hence why I was pretty curious about this overall. Nice input!

[ShortCircuit]

I find feminine men to be the pinnacle of male attractiveness, and that's what I strive to be. I would kill to look more like the guy in the third image.

However, I don't find masculine women attractive AT ALL. In fact, it is one of the single biggest turn offs for me.

[ebbyeb]

Ah gotcha gotcha. Yeah that guy is definitely attractive in my eyes 😌👌🏼

I'm sure you could achieve it if you grew out your hair a bit more even if it's still long! And style it and stuff or just keep it curly and look fab

[ShortCircuit]

I mean, I do already look a lot like him, but my nose isn't shaped as nicelyz and my lips aren't as lush as his.

And if I did straighten my hait it would be almost the same length as his.

[ebbyeb]

Ah gotcha gotcha. Well hey, don't strain yourself trying to look like some fancy model okay? I know you were working out a lot lately and doing lots of dieting things etc. so don't strain yourself fam! But I get what you mean. The trick to getting nice lips is to drink a lot of water and massage them often and keep them moisturized. That's all there really is too it

[ShortCircuit]

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

[ebbyeb]

You're welcome fam! 🤗

[UnknownXYZ]

www.court-records.net/.../bratworth-shrug(e).gif

I find attractive and I find some unattractive. Goes with anyone really.

[ebbyeb]

Yup! Agreed.

[samhradh_leannan]

I think there is a certain beauty to them, if only because their look is unusual and striking. But sexually, I find more masculine looking men attractive. Although I do think long hair on men is attractive.

[ebbyeb]

Well said! I agree! I think that it's a bit out there and is a creative and artistic way for those people to represent themselves to the world.

[ladsin]

I'm bi, but all the people you posted I find attractive 😍

[ebbyeb]

Haha yeah I feel ya! Those are just examples of what you'd typically see 😌

[ladsin]

My boyfriend is like the 4th picture. I like my ladies and my men skinny and super cute I don't know. I also used to "date" a ftm trans guy... amazing. Looked doodish but had a vaguna 🙌

[ladsin]

This is he.. I don't know if it'll work
http://tinypic.com/r/2w66lhu/9

[ladsin]

It did lol

[ebbyeb]

Haha that's nice 😂

Oh wow! He does look similar to that guy!

[JailbaitGamerGirl]

I am, and I don't really like how I look. But I do love these photos.

[ebbyeb]

Ah gotcha gotcha. Yeah I think these photos are really cool actually!

[blondfrog]

Sometimes they can be and even if they are not I mean most of the time a simple change in hairstyle or hair cut could fix the issue and make them attractive.

[ebbyeb]

Yeah it varies person to person. Some look great with that kind of style and others not so much

[blondfrog]

Yeah plus it depends on the person's taste, but there are things you can do to make yourself look more masculine or feminine.

[ebbyeb]

Yeah that's definitely true! Like contour tricks in makeup or simply makeup in general haha

[blondfrog]

yeah for guys too.

[MoreThanFriends]

I'm generally a straight guy, but I'm attracted mainly to femininity. I would rather date a guy that looks like a woman than a woman that looks like a man.

[ebbyeb]

Huh that's interesting.. Why's that? If you mind me asking. And this isn't full out transgender or anything it's just they look more slightly vague in that sex or of the other

[MoreThanFriends]

Well like I said what I'm attracted to most is not women or men, but femininity. And women are far more likely to be feminine than men. Or were you looking for a deeper explanation lol?

I honestly don't know, chalk it up to me just being weird aha. Funnily enough I once dated a girl that looks like the guy in your third picture. She was very attractive but did have masculine facial features, which I guess would be a turnoff to a lot of guys.

[MoreThanFriends]

Hope my explanation helps.

[ebbyeb]

Haha oh gotcha gotcha. Nah I completely understand what you mean! And that's cool actually. It's always nice to put a handle on what you're thinking in my opinion 😌👌🏼

Haha huh maybe maybe? Yeah I can imagine that that'd be a turn off for most guys. And it sucks a lot.. It's not like we can really change the face we were born with :/

Thanks for the input!

[Whatthefluff]

I suppose they can be, which is not to say that all are or aren't

[ebbyeb]

Yeah ofc! I still think there's those who're attractive and who aren't lol. Like anyone else really 😅

[Whatthefluff]

Exactly

[naraku]

It can work well and not other times. Same with anything I guess.

I know a lot of Japanese, Korean and even Chinese girl's LOVE androgynous guys.

[ebbyeb]

Yeah that's a good point.

Haha I've noticed that for sure lmak

[naraku]

When I was in Japan last ( January) you actually see it happening, Girls taking there guys to get manicures and all. Helping them select clothes that might help that look even more. Funny too see ! lol

[ebbyeb]

Wow that's crazy! Haha

[SwolDishWasher]

Those people are goodlooking. Im a bit androgynous myself. Id prefer if i wasn't. So i like to stay a bit overweight.

[ebbyeb]

You are? I am too actually. In the right outfit girls will flirt with me actually 😅

[SwolDishWasher]

The first girl is kind of attractive. there's this girl who works at a gas station near my house. She has really short hair n looks a bit androgynous (really slim body to match the the hair) but she's really attractive. Id date her.

Yeah. I have really nice eyes, good bone structure. The only thing that saves me from looking completely like a female is my defined jaw. I got lucky in the genetic department.

[ebbyeb]

Yeah I gotcha. That's nice!

Haha really? I'm kind of interested now as I don't really know many androgynous guys but a lot of androgynous females.. Too bad you don't have a pfp I'm so curious now 😂

[rjroy3]

I rarely find them appealing, but I can tell a lot of them have "The Look". Like there are a lot of models who get paid for their looks, that I don't find attractive. Most fashion models I don't find appealing and many are androgynous.

[ebbyeb]

Yeah that's very true. Well said!

[Superchick1234]

I don't find them attractive personally but that's only because I like VERY masculine men. I don't know why, but a super strong man is super sexy to me.

[ebbyeb]

Ah yeah then androgynous wouldn't be your type 😅

[Fitness-Fanatic]

Some are very attractive, but I'm not physically or sexually attracted to a guy who looks feminine. It's a turn off to me. I am only attracted to guys who are extremely masculine in appearance

[Fitness-Fanatic]

While those people in the pics are attractive , I don't find any of them extraordinarily attractive. They look average

[ebbyeb]

Yeah I understand what you mean. But you recognize that they're attractive even if you specifically aren't that attracted to them.. From how I understand

[OrdinaryGentleman]

I like people with androgynous personalities. Like tomboys are my go-to.

[ebbyeb]

Ah yeah I feel ya. I'll admit.. I was specifically curious on asking this because I'm pretty androgynous myself haha so I was curious what the general public thought about this

[OrdinaryGentleman]

I need my opinion to be longer since i like this subject. One of the few ones i find worthwhile... great question!
Generally, guys don't like tom girls. I like them because they are reliable and most often straightforward. I like women who are strong, but also caring, just like I am, so thats what i will continue to strive for in my personal relationships. If a girl can stand on her own I like that all the same, but in a relationship if I can pull her up off the floor and be an anchor with her doing the same for me i think it makes an unbeatable team :)

[ebbyeb]

Haha yeah I understand what you mean! 😁 Cool! I'm glad you really enjoyed my question and took some time to answer it!

[thelastvalkyrie]

The attractive ones are attractive. I find it artistic.

[ebbyeb]

It's cool you brought that up! There's lots of really artistic androgynous people on the Internet and I always find it really cool the looks that some can pull off easily

[COCOCHANEL]

people tell me that the boys i like look androgynous but i don't see it

[ebbyeb]

Ah gotcha. It might not be a fullout hardcore kinda androgynous look like the pics above but they might have sorta feminine features like a softer appearing face etc. there's totally nothing wrong with it though

[Bleh-___-]

I accidentally had a crush on a girl once since I thought she was a guy. However I'm straight and I don't find androgynous guys attractive, so no

[ebbyeb]

Well I wouldn't say it's an "accident" tbh. Just moreso you found a girl attractive but when you realized she was a girl it was a turn off kinda thing

[Bleh-___-]

Haha she made a hot guy but you're right, I'm just not into girls. If she was a dude I wouldn't have changed my mind.

[backtoblackkkk]

They have good features for modeling but I don't find them attractive.

[ebbyeb]

I gotcha!
