How important is masculine and feminine polarity in relationships?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I can tell you for the BEST women i've known, it wasn't very important.

Now having said that, one thing life has taught me is it's not really important what you are so much as what she SEES you as. Women are typically queens of self deception.

So, in short with some women a guy carrying himself as a manly man is paramount. But not suprisingly most of those women have a TERRIBLE relationship record. Because she has expectations that few men are going to meet. And the few that do are probably putting on act. Or her expectations are just still too inflexible.

It's the equivalent of a guy expecting a woman to be so feminine that she's not allowed to fart.😆 I'm not saying farts should be celebrated. But c'mon it's a bodily function and we all have them.

I guess what i'm saying is society has gender roles. You should try to afhere to your expected gender role. And the world should also remember we are all individuals.

It’s really important. Men don’t want to come home to a female who acts like a dude. Just like women don’t want a man who’s a little bitch. A lot of women say they want a man who is emotional, in touch w their feelings but when they really get a taste of it, it’s a turn off. Roselyn he starts talking about his feelings, his emotions in regards to her as far as what she does that he doesn’t like.

Depends on the people involved. If masculinity and femininity are important to the couple, the difference between feminine and masculine rate highly for both people, then it will be. If the two are more flexible in feminine and masculine roles, et al, it won't be.

My aim on GAG is to help you untangle the messy, beautiful chaos of love and attraction.

Masculine–feminine polarity is very important for chemistry, but it doesn’t have to be “man = masculine, woman = feminine.” It’s more about one partner leading, one surrendering in certain moments. When both stay in the same energy all the time, attraction often feels flat.

Healthy polarity is playful, consensual, and flexible, not a rigid gender prison.

It’s not particularly important to two androgynes who are dating, but most of us are more comfortable with traditional gender roles.

DishLady · Answer

To me it's pretty important. Rn I'm happy on my own, however if I *DID* make the effort to be with a guy he'd have to have that masculine energy and not be "wishy washy" personality, not be effeminate, etc.

stevenkelly · Answer

Masculine and feminine polarity can be important in a relationship, but it really depends on the people involved. I think what matters more is having a balance where both partners feel valued, respected, attracted to each other, and comfortable being themselves.
For some couples, traditional masculine/feminine roles create attraction and harmony. For others, sharing roles equally or switching them depending on the situation works better. The key is that neither person feels forced into a role, and both partners contribute emotionally and practically.

ManOnFire · Answer

It's extremely important, or else men would not be masculine and women would not be feminine. Unless these roles have been watered down or even inflated in certain cultures.

In general you need to have a masculine side/influence (the man) and a feminine side/influence (the woman). This is also important for having families. Children need exposure and teaching from both male and female role models.

Modern women do too much trying to be feminine that it has become offputting to me. Let me stress that this is my opinion, though I am sure there are others who also believe the same.

To elaborate: makeup is too much, I don't even like it most of the time besides that thing some women do to put a black outline around their eye (I like that sometimes); nail polish is nasty - I don't see why you're drawing attention to your fingernails or, even worse, your toenails - it used to be commonly thought of that feet were disgusting so I don't know why anyone would intentionally highlight the most distinctive parts of their own feet.

I'd like to see more tomboys. I don't know why they've disappeared.

front2back · Answer

As much as some would like to believe otherwise, relationship psychologically suggests that women want masculine men and even to the extreme of misogynistic men over men who are feminine.
Men conversely also want women that are are more feminine and girly than the opposite (like a tomboy).

Of course their our exceptions but we are hardwired a certain way.

OneViewpoint · Answer

It depends on the 2 people involved. For some that masculine / feminine energy defines the relationship. For others, they aren't even aware of it on a conscious level. And with others, they stopped caring a long time ago.

I think problems arise when mismatches occur and one person values the whole masculine feminine thing and the other couldn't care less or finds it tedious.

EzraIsShy76028 · Answer

Not really important unless you really value traditional gender roles/norms which I personally don't. G@G does seem to lean somewhat more conservative on average from my experience. Correct me if I'm wrong. Would explain most of the poll results and answers.

Zack-Bann · Answer

I think it depends on which definition is used for both.
Assuming it’s a modern and nuanced one then yes: polarity is important.

It’s only the law of nature.
Animals instinctively take on these polar roles without ever questioning it.

We are more cerebral but often confused our advancement as difference. Even though we are close cousins to most living things on earth.

For the fun of it, I looked up quick and simple definitions, the example given for masculinity was aggressiveness...

Something tells me that aggressiveness is not often praised in relationships lol

But it's certainly useful for gladiators!

To be honest, most men are not masculine nowadays and most women are not feminine.

The guy in that title picture is not telling you he's masculine he's telling you that he's a conceited snob. This guy is telling you that he's a man. And it probably is important that you not fuck with him.

RavVid · Answer

If there is no masculine/feminine polarity than what is the point? Why not just hang out with your same gendered friends since it is easier than relationships.

valentina4eva · Answer

Beatriz90 · Answer

I think masculine and feminine polarity can influence attraction, but it ultimately depends on individual preferences. Some people are drawn to traditional gender dynamics, while others prefer a more egalitarian relationship

Xoirwinkan · Answer

The more masculine a man is the more feminine a woman he desires, generally speaking.

Without it, it would be a platonic roommate dynamic.

It’s not. Everyone should be themselves and find someone they’re compatible with

blackeagle007 · Answer

I don’t want to date a masculine woman. She’d probably feel the same if I was feminine

Depends how tightly you and your partner adhere to traditional gender roles

Abbycado · Answer

I voted "depends" since it would based on how the couple viewed it.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Depends what we mean. Stereotypical macho jerk and daffy girl? No. Dude who can handle himself and woman who will wear a dress when the occasion warrants it? Definitely.

exitseven · Answer

it is important. People need to know just who is the man and who is the woman.
