Which woman style do you like the most? A masculine woman or a feminine woman?
I like to have cake and eat it, too!
I honestly just love women of all types, everyone has their own unique strengths and I think that is the beauty of learning about someone.
But that said, I would say my ideal woman is more feminine, but also has some of what our society has deemed masculine or "tomboy" qualities. I admire a woman who has some independent strength and is resourceful. For example, to be able to backpack into the wilderness, start a fire, cook, set up camp, catch a fish. These are somehow "masculine"? I like athletic women, I follow a few instagrams like #girlswhocanskate or #jujitsugirls and some other fitness oriented female accounts. I think it is very sexy for a woman to be strong and skilled.
But on the more fem side, I think a woman looks wonderful and is so attractive if she also knows how to "doll up"
As for my part, I feel I offer what I ask for. I am independent and can do all the "tough guy" stuff, but I also have a softer side and am not just a hard case. Sort of the female version of this question, "do you want a guy to be tough or gentle?", I'm a mix of both and can be comfortable in either role.

what the hell do they mean to you?
are we going off whats in my head or whats in yours?
I think feminine doesn't have to be weak, and masculine doesn't have to be strong. if were going by that, i give you a more concise answer.
and if were saying masculine women are edgy toxic confused women and feminine women are happy normal women then your question must be a subtle critique of modern women.
nevertheless, im gonna skip past your trick question and say that I like a strong, smart capable feminine woman.
i think the picture is bias obviously in that picture the second one looks better.. nice try
I like both, but I like the masculine women. I'm mostly girly myself.

Wow those are some interesting pictures you included with this. Both of those women look ridiculous. Just ridiculous.
But generally, I like... something in the middle. If she's too feminine than she's no fun. If she's too masculine, I might as well try and date a dude. But there is definitely a sweet-spot somewhere in the middle (leaning slightly to the feminine side of the scale).
I want a pretty girl who knows how to be goofy and joke around... like a person... not a princess. Girls who are girly in some ways, but definitely not "girly" overall.
It depends, behavior wise, feminine women (being affectionate, supportive, charming and not argumentative) are top tier traits for us. Keep in mind that a woman like that, we would die for.
Masculine women mostly act like the stereotypes they have on men (and they tend to misinterpret being a male teenage brat with being a man) it's not attractive, it's as obnoxious as "princess behavior".
We like it when you wear our clothes sometimes though. As long as you have the feminine traits I cited, yeah you can be a tomboy, why not.The childfree career oriented ladies.
The pictures aren't good representations of either, and even if a girl is masculine she is still broadly feminine.
In my experience, tomboys are more social and jokey - which makes them easier to relate to; but only if they do not abandon their feminine side. Broadly speaking, men are attracted to femininity by instinct, so if a girl suppresses hers she will be less attractive.
Personally, I think somewhere in between is the best, but it has to be genuine. You'll only find the real deal from girls who had a good and involved father figure... This is unfortunately rare.
I'm not really sure what I want, but, ya know, the show last man standing, where kristin plays the older girl, mandy plays the middle girl and eve plays the young girl, I think I liked mandy the best. she was into fashion and really girly but, some of the best scenes on the show, involved her. For example the one where Kyle gets beat by eve in a game and kyle thinks mandy would have thought less of him if he didn't lie and said he let her beat him, and she says "kyle, I would still love you if you lost, if you had let her win, i like you for you, and how you treat me".
Something about that scene, really got to me. Does it help that she's girly, maybe but, i think that was one of the best scenes on the showNot sure how to answer that. Not because I don't know the difference because I don't think many women today know the difference. Of course I like a feminine women. But to me feminine does NOT mean acting like you're weak and helpless. Feminine is more about CLASS to me. A woman can be a tomboy and still be quite feminine. Basically a feminine woman can go toe to toe with the fellas but she still remembers she's a lady. Masculine women don't draw that distinction. As I said it's about class.
I like a functional relationship which means no desire for a mini me emulating me. I am not battling with "my other self" for leadership the rest of my days. No one says a woman can not express her Tomboy or Corporate aspirations, however, the majority of those who do are not enjoyable to be around.-Many of these are always pushing the envelope and have no idea why they are single or why he is dating the "homely" looking girl.
Feminine. But both of your examples are masculine to me. High waist jeans paired with a baggy jacket isn't "feminine" to me. I prefer classic feminine beauty. Most women these days have completely abandoned their femininity.
Feminine woman, hands down. A lot of women will have masculine energy, but if they can't turn it off it is an attraction killer. A lot of men don't want to come home to a woman that behaves and acts like a dude when we just got done working with them all day.
A woman becomes masculine when she doesn't feel or never felt safe in her environment to show vulnerability. It is a reasonable self defense mechanism to keep you alive. There is nothing I love more about a woman when she's so feminine , modest , soft , gentle and kind. All her vulnerabilities are like treasures that I keep safe. It fulfills my role as a man as a protector as someone who's a stable rock a solid foundation upon which my loved ones can rest and feel safe as I carry them.
Feminine. Almost 100% of females are unable to maintain being musculine for longer than an hour. To have both sides (e. g. to be equal) - most just whine how the weights to lift or the load to carry/effort - are too heavy/too difficult. Some boys do that too, but many know how to get on with it.
Both would be nice, sexy tomboy…
A mature woman, which combines the best attributes of both
Unfortunately, that's quite rare, it's worse for the ladies because that's even more rare for guys to have those traits.
But fortunately for me, they do exist and even more fortunately, one of those rare girls is my girlfriendWell, I LOVE a woman who, though she's got an abundance on her head and in her bra and has a girlish voice, isn't too girly and enjoys being one of the boys, but enjoys being a chick, especially girl get-togethers, shopping, going to bars and concerts with girlfriends and can dress up like a goddess.
Im a guy and i’ve been around guys enough and i dont what fool will choose a masculine woman over a feminine one. We like feminine women just like you like men to be masculine. Personally love everything about feminity, maybe because thats jusy biogically rooted in men. Please girls dont act masculine
Am I supposed to go off the pictures?
I hate both of those styles.
A feminine woman who appreciates or even enjoys some masculine hobbies and dresses with a balanced mix of practical and classy is ideal.
My wife is pretty masc and I am pretty submissive so I'd prefer a more masc woman.
I always prefer masculine women, because if we think about deeply, that dominance is an attractive trait and it has high valued in the society, For our existence humans & animals need to be dominant
I'm not saying that i don't like feminine women, infact my initial attraction is feminine women, but i'm 26 now, my attaction shifting towards masculine women as my age progresses.A tomboy. Meaning a girl who can throw on a pair of jeans, tennis shoes w a hat and we’re out. But also feminine enough that she can stun a lot of men’s hearts when the occasion calls for it.
If I wanted a masculine woman, I'd date a man, and be gay.
