By that, I mean women who (are at least willing to) fight and kill others, have good fighting skills, are physically strong, and likely have weapons and skill with weapons. Probably aggressive too. To me, a tough woman who would make a great warrior is wife material, and I'd rather have that raising my children than a soft, feminine lady. Xena, the Warrior Princess.The modern day equivalent of that, I'd say, are women who serve (d) in combat roles in the military. In the context of centuries ago, those people were shieldmaidens, knightresses, female samurai, Spartan and Celtic women, Amazons (That last one was a myth, but still), et cetera. Lady Eivor, the shieldmaiden from Assassin's Creed: ValhallaNow, I've made my presence here known. In a previous question, I asked the people here if it was wrong or extreme to find women who (can) kill things attractive. My reasoning was that the act of killing is masculine, since men are far more likely to kill, and I find masculine traits/tomboyishness attractive. I also stated that I consider people who are willing to take a life better fighters, hunters, and protectors, since they'll be less likely to hold back. Nobody said I was in the wrong. They all agreed with me. Fanart of Kassandra, the Spartan woman from Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.Sometimes, I do think that finding a woman who's doing "men's work" is a little bit of an extreme. Think about it. Can you name one man who fell for a woman because she felled someone on the battlefield or in the ring? I'm pretty sure the average man is not looking for Xena's great-great-great granddaughter.
So my question for the men and probably gay/bi women is, does anyone else here find warrior women attractive? If not, is wanting that taking my preference for masculine women to an unhealthy extreme?

And for the love of God, I need SERIOUS answers from you guys! Sometimes I think that's taking the love of masculine women too far. So I need your answers to at least address whether or not I'm wrong to find warrior women attractive, and why. BE. SERIOUS.
Anyone else find warrior women attractive? Is it weird to find that attractive (VERY SERIOUS)?
The act of killing is not masculine, because it implies that women are not capable of it and they are very much so. Men do kill a lot more this is true, because we are way more impulsive, therefore, quite capable of doing it indiscriminately. I also disagree with your concept of warrior, warriors were not celebrated because they were willing to KILL, but because they were willing to DIE, defending ideals, their people and land, it involved a lot of killing in the process but the principile was to protect and defend, and yes many warriors were invaders but this was also a way for preservation.
Fine, then let me ask you this. If you're a gun owner, as in you have a lot of semi-auto gons and tons of ammo and you're really wanting to be with a womn that is WILLING TO KILL because you think that is hot, then yes, that is very extreme, and also disturbing.
But if you're a gun owner, a responsible one, certified, trained and discipline, and you just find it very attractive that you could just move with a girl to the wilderness that Alaska can be, and would be able to trust such girl of being more than capablle of leading the hunting for that season, then this is not extreme no.
Well, I explained my reasoning for finding that attractive already. A person like that is less likely to hold back in situations where they gotta fight. Plus, I said I find it masculine because again, men are more likely to do it. Testosterone's one hell of a hormone.
Most women, once they become mothers will fight five bears, three pirates, and two sharks with laser guns at the same time, if they have to protect their children. So I would say most women do have it in them already, if they need to fight back, most women will do it, this is a human trait.
I do have a very strong attraction towards Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy and Valkyrie from Thor Ragnarok. It's probably less that they're female warriors and more that they're both cute with light brown skin and their love interests in the movies are white men like me (Though a strong girl that doesn't complain is hot).👍
I said women who are at least willing to. That could be a huntress, a cop, or again, a woman who served in combat. I was expecting a serious answer from you.
I honestly don't see how killing is a masculine trait. Sure in the past it's usually been the men sent to war, but train a woman the skills and then she can, but I don't see how that is attractive. How agression is attractive, how is someone willing to kill attractive, the combo of agression and willing to kill sounds a bit alarming to me
I always found it so contradicting. I always saw agression as someone "not being dominant" over his own emotions. No control. Loose dog. And what would be the point if she's willing to end a life. If she ends up in jail, you'll have your girl, but she'll be in jail. I don't take that as an answer. You see it in the wild too, other animals, females doing the hunting, or even eating the males. I never saw anything masculine about it, to me killing's just killing
Well you said in an earlier question of mine that you personally don't like bad boys. And I meant dominant towards other people, not toward their own emotions.
And I never meant if she's gonna commit murder. I said in my first reply that the woman could be killing for good reasons. Cops, huntresses, and army women (on average) fit that moral criteria. Most cops, huntresses, and female veterans are NOT murderers.
You got me with the animals part, but I meant masculine by human standards. I thought that was obvious, given the context of this conversation.
Human standards... gender roles... meh. In the end we're all animals. More evolved, but we still have our instincts. And it's not different from other species. Threaten the family and that instinct to protect will kick in, to fight for what you want to protect, whether you are a man or a woman, you'll be ready to kill if that's what it takes to protect your family
Slightly intoxicated but with all serious intent, and I went voice (I'm starting to get discouraged from text over the internet -- maybe my English is too bad to convey intent without voice): https://voca.ro/19gIluTuW9DB
Apologies for all the "umms". I'm a bit tipsy and I also haven't practiced speaking English for over 2 years now on a regular basis. I'm trying to sort of translate from Japanese to English in my head as I talk.
Well, my question was if finding warrior women attractive is taking my love of masculine traits in women to an extreme. Again, we're talking about women who fight and kill, are strong, and have weapons. All of the traits that warriors throughout human history have often had.
@Mia-Wallace Cheers and definitely think so! @TomGarand I certainly like them but I think the ultimate common denominator of masculinity cross-cultures is self-sufficiency. I think that is why the idealistic masculine image is like a hunter and survival expert who can feed himself, build his own shelter, etc.
Personally, I don't distinguish so much whether someone's means of self-sufficiency comes from brawn or brain, for example. But I do admire self-sufficiency in both sexes. That includes but is hardly limited to great female MMA fighters, for example.
What I like about these self-sufficient types (or warrior types as a subset), is that they don't fear walking the streets at night as an example. That means I don't have to share in that fear and worry about them when they do. I can truly see them as adults and not like children to be worried about like a parent. I can still protect my wife is she needs my wife but at least I don't have to worry until she does. She can really take care of herself. And I tend to think that makes for a more genuine kind of independent love -- like she chooses me, and wants me, even though she doesn't really need me. The exes who needed me made me question the genuineness sometimes -- like questioning whether a drug addict actually enjoys a drug or just needs it to feel okay. You don't find that problem with women who are strong in mind.
