What makes a woman feminine to a man?

I found out with time that the answer is a bit more abstract than just a description of feininin traits.
It's all about the mindset and energy.

A feminine woman embraces that side of herself and as such even in trivial activities she feels feminine doing them.

Just ask yourself "what makes a man masculine" it's his energy as well, and it works both ways

[Flatmanlewis]

To me, it’s all the little subtle things that is unique to women. The way they walk. The softness of their skin. The nails, lashes, and so on. The way they dress the accents their figure. The little decorations that they do that just bring out their feminine uniqueness and difference than me, as a man, posses.

Men mostly don't focus on details like that. They just focus on whether they feel attracted and want her or not.

But, it could be anything from a curvy body to hair, nails, clothing, voice, caring behaviors, etc.

[StirredNotShaken]

"Men mostly don't focus on details like that."

LMAO

[wolfcat87]

@StirredNotShaken Most men don't look at a woman and start philosophically debating their list of what's feminine enough... They just immediately feel attraction or don't. Same with women looking at men.

[StirredNotShaken]

You're a man?

[wolfcat87]

@StirredNotShaken Do I have to be a man to talk to men regularly about their thoughts and feelings as their friend and therapist? No. Otherwise therapists and scientists would only study people of the same gender.

"@StirredNotShaken "Same with women looking at men."
Funny you didn't mention women in your original reply.

[wolfcat87]

@StirredNotShaken Sounds like you're just desperate to pick a fight over nothing. It's a fact whether I mention what women think or not. The question isn't about what women think. Duh...

[StirredNotShaken]

Nope. I don't want to fight. Just keep being the spokesperson for what men want.
Merry Christmas.

@StirredNotShaken Have a nice day

Most men probably don't talk about it, but we already see it—body language, grooming, how you dress, hair, etc. So yes, Most Heterosexual guys like feminine women (acting and dressing the part) and most heterosexual women like masculine men. These differ from culture to culture, and there's varying degrees, but whatever the assigned roles are, the majority of hetero like them.

@MrNameless

Wolf is very pretty, but in 5 seconds of talking, that could change. Guys are more complicated than what some would think

[MrNameless]

@StirredNotShaken yep. And women aren't submissive by any means.

[StirredNotShaken]

@MrNameless

I would disagree with that, but let's not bother the cute wolf with that.
Post your own question, and I'll be all over it like a chicken on a June bug.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Submitting to him, not cursing or being aggressive? And being caring because he might want to start a family of his own, and you have to show him that you can be that mother of his child.

[ManOnFire]

Behaving in womanly ways i. e. dainty, smiling, using good manners, etc.
Being feminine in appearance, usually with hair more than dress code, but dress code is a big part, yeah.
Caring about romance and love.
NOT calling their man "bruh" or "son" or using all the hoodsy lingo that is unnattractive on women.
Liking stuffed animals, cutesy things, all that stuff.

[Al_Musafir]

Being soft spoken

Having a caring, nurturing nature

Is delicate with her actions

Submissive and not too loud

Doesn't entertain strangers much, especially males

There's more to it but this is all that comes my mind atm

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I guess being "sensual" since that's one adjective I hear often ever since the beginning of my adulthood.

[MrNameless]

Behavior and appearance are the most significant things

[alexiah]

Any Examples?

[MrNameless]

Yes. I feel conflicted saying this because.. Although I'm attracted to what we all know as feminine, I couldn't tell a woman how to act or dress. I also get that as a dude who doesn't smile a lot, I understand how women are annoyed when people ask them to smile. However, I am typically attracted to feminine women. Tomboys are cool too.

Appearance wise.. Dressing feminine (doesn't always have to be a dress or skirt), makeup (if they want). Feminine hair. Some women can pull off really short hair, but longer hair then men are more attractive to me personally.

Behavior would be sweet, nurturing, empathetic, modest, not using crude language.
Walking feminine and smiling.

Having good manners is what everyone should be doing. If a woman is into sports or videogames, that's cool. I don't really mind what hobbies she has. it's mostly the behavior.

[MrNameless]

Most people have masculine and feminine traits to varying degrees.

Not all women are dainty or girly girls. A lot of women like men's/boys hobbies. Nothing wrong with that. Be yourself. If you want to attract a specific type and whatever you are doing isn't working, you can change yourself; It's a personal decision. Would i date a woman who looks like a bodybuilder and is as muscular as a guy? I'm not attracted to that, but I'd say in my head, "you do you."

but your profile pic is attractive/feminine if that's what you're worried about. haha

[StirredNotShaken]

I posted my question about that, and the brain-dead mods removed it for being Spam.

[NathanDavis]

being herself...

[ThebestIndian]

Aren’t women feminine already?

[MrNameless]

Text book definition of femininity is attributes, behaviors, and roles generally associated to girls and women.

So a woman born with XX chromosomes isn't feminine automatically. Only if she follows through the behaviors and roles assigned to her culture.

In reality, most people have masculine and feminine traits to varying degrees.
