Are we generally a balance of both feminine and masculine traits?

[Anonymous]

It seems like a bell-shaped curve. I understand men like feminine women and we like masculine men but I don't think the average person is totally 100% of either polar extremes.

Ex: A woman can still be feminine and into football or a man can be masculine but a sentimental animal lover.

Generally are we all just a mixture of both (some people have less/more traits than others) feminine and masculine traits?

I'm finding that even so called super feminine girls, had a bit of masculine traits too... lesser but not 0%. This means the average woman isn't 100% feminine and the average man isn't 100% masculine.

It's true. I agree, as long as this isn't about sexuality.

As human beings, men and women have way more commonalities than differences. Most of the differences are due to sexual dimorphism - size, strength and build.

Our commonalities have nothing to do with gender.

Because male and female brains are constructed almost identically, and because almost all of our attitudes, beliefs and behaviors are learned, it's natural for different people to vary widely in their degrees of masculine or feminine behavior.

And, because there are such things as masculine and feminine traits I wonder if there is an ideal ratio of both for men and women to possess. What percentage of feminine traits would be healthy for a man. And what percentage of masculine traits would be ideal for a woman. What even IS the ideal masculine or feminine? It's subjective.

Well said. I think people want different things in a partner. Meanwhile a traditional feminine woman might be great for some men, other men might not want that and want a more active women. People have different tastes that it's complicated to say what is an ideal feminine woman and masculine man.

I think so, too.

Nah you're right. All guys have a little bit of a feminine side, some a bit more than others, just as much as they're masculine. Vice versa with girls

Well, since we come of the mixing of male and female PEOPLE, I should certainly hope so.

Yes, I think so.

But I still see stark differences between men and women (from my personal observations of real life people).
