I think feminine & ‘sexy’ are the same thing to a large degree. A partial list: *Needs/wants a man for more than sex. Some women pretend to be bimbos to trigger this cue. But that’s just an extreme example. Women by nature are physically weaker than men in most cases so naturally a woman would expect a man yo be her protector & he would expect it too. *Looks different than a man: waist much smaller than hips, breasts & so on. Without the female sex traits she could not be as feminine. *women are conditioned/expected to not be as aggressive as men (at least not with strangers). A woman who is aggressive/dominant in the workplace is called ‘masculine’. I am not passing a good/bad type judgement here. Just saying.
*a feminine woman will take more pride/care in her appearance than the average man. Maybe partly because way back in the day women looked more like guys (from the modern POV) and the more modifications she makes, the less like guys she is. Imagine if women never shaved/waxed/plucked, etc. think how the more out of shape a woman is the more unisex she looks (same for men). Think of tom boys... they are not very feminine when in tom boy mode. Although some of them are still sexy. I guess to really narrow down ‘feminine’ you could think about what makes a sexy tom boy sexy.
I'd mainly say cuteness, people would say "cute laugh, cute reactions, and other cute things" but I guess cuteness says that all, other things like kindness, above-average empathy, basically any kind of nice comforting feelings you know? Lastly I'd say the typical feminine ways of talking, walking, but that's also under cute so...
Taking on the female appearance. Adopting female mannerisms. And most importantly acting sweet and submissive. Desiring to be lead by a stronger person most likely male. Not that she's not capable of being independent but she understands and accepts the order of the natural world. This doesn't mean man dominates woman, but rather cares for, provides for, protects her.
Have femenine manners. Obliously, she has to be attractive. I wouldn't find a cone shaped woman femenine. She has to have femenine attributes, too. It comes as a package. Said that, if a hot chick points at het vagina and roars "eat this bitch", that's downer.
Attitude and body language. Emphasis on womanly features as well as natural mannerisms of attraction such as the voice rising in pitch, mimicry, playing with the ends of your hair, and that sexy lip bite.
