I am a man, and I don't really know if I do this, but women have said that men do this.
Conversely, women definitely try to appear more feminine.

In reality, I haven't observed men trying to appear more masculine to seduce women. I have seen them using humor, tease and taunt to catch attention. Targeting other men in a sort of subtle competition using wit. Or targeting women themselves to trigger an emotional response.
But that's my cultural context though, I didn't evolve in supermachoman surroundings. In fact the supermachoman profile was an easy target to mock and take down figuratively, in order to get women's attention.
I ignore them, LOL. Oddly enough, this often has the opposite of the desired effect. They get really curious about me and go out of their way to strike up a conversation with me. Seriously, I don't think they're used to a guy who isn't irrationally nice to them or trying to chat them up.
If they ask me to move down a seat or two so their friends can sit, I have zero problem saying no. You'd think they'd just label me an asshole but no, wait 5 minutes and they're trying to chat me up.
No, that's not true. I don't try to appear feminine. In fact I try to be/appear more tough yet I come across as feminine.
You asked what can do to appear more masculine. I'd say I find men more masculine when they don't try to be one. Guys like that have a certain type of posture and have a muscular body. Most of them have facial hair. They come across as quite confident and assertive. Takes initiative when needed basically have leadership qualities.
It's how they treat those around them. Respect is really attractive. Probably for both genders. Everyone wants to be heard and held with some value.

It’s easy:
Shave, trim, shower, wear a fragrance.
Get in shape, wear clothes that compliment your build
Masculinity is inherent in men.
Only so many men allow themselves to he overgrown children hence why they look less “masculine”
They try to look cool doing tricks but often they fail one Guy try to do it but he fail after he dropped the things he was holding when standing next to me it was pretty funny cause he cursed so loudly after 😹😹
Guys automatically “set” their bodies (some stand straighter, some puff out their chest a little, some whip out that rakish grin that make a gal’s heart melt)… it’s a involuntary thing that a guy does when he sees someone who catches his eye.
I'm mainly thinking of really immature guys, but trying to one up other guys in front of women. Trying to be the "alpha" male. Trying to act like almost a cartoonish caricature of masculinity in general. That kind of stuff.
Doing wheelies on their bmx, and playing Good Riddance (Time of your life) / Wonderwall on their acoustic guitar. The girls will be powerless to resist.
So you are 34 and still think this is important?
All sorts of stupid things... but it generally doesn't work.
... Talking about men, that is. Not me. I just never gave a fuck and tried to remain stoic regardless.
They stand up straight and deepen their voice I believe
This.
Those men are just meatheads who are just looking for sex lol
I've never thought about it, so maybe it is true.
I personally dress nice, or find the sexy vibe outfit.
Why would you ask women this question we aren't men?
women need to worry less abotu being feminine and more about skimpy clothing
Wear a trendy fanny pack.
Stand up straight and make eye contact.
Deepen their voice maybe?
Spit on her shoe and look her in the eye.
