Why do you think Masculine Guys go for Feminine Women?

[PrincessPie]

.. And Masculine Women go for Feminine Men and visa versa, i don't know if anyone has noticed this but i notice that the more Manly/Masculine a guy is the more Feminine Woman he is attracted to or attracts, and the more Masculine a Woman is she tends to be more attracted to Feminine type guys? basically opposite ends of the spectrum.

When i say a Masculine or Feminine Woman/Man i don't mean that they act like the opposite gender, i just mean of there personality, appearance, traits and dress sense.
Has anyone else noticed this if so why do you think this is?

It's called Gender Polarity , it is no different from opposite ends / charges on a magnet... they attract strongly , also same polarity on same polarity repels the other , there are exceptions , but generally we are like magnets !!

However , malignant social engineering is creating " neuters " ... IE masculine women that stomp around like males , and believe aggressive & bolshy = assertive... no... big difference !! Also , wimpy oversensitive " girly boys " ... which has contributed to the " Nice Guy TM " of recent times. Neuter attracts NOTHING !!!

It’s complimenting each other. I’m plenty in tune in my feminine side so I guess I like a bit of a firecracker in a woman too.

A butch girl is no fun all the time and a neither is a girly girly all the time. The same rings true for men too.

[Hailecynth]

Hmm, I’m not sure but personally I would like a more masculine guy because it makes me feel more protected and loved. I mean a more feminine guy might not exactly give me the same feelings at first glance, but who knows? I’ve seen some pretty boys be caring and strong at the same time.

I think part of it can be explained by evolutionary psychology, while another part can be explained by the Jedi creed: One must strive to bring balance to the Force. Light and Dark coexisting in harmony.

[jennifer_bloom]

I would say masculine men are more dominant so they are more likely to choose woman who exhibit signs of weakness and gentleness because these qualities allow the man's dominance to be expressed

[Retief]

I don't think that's the case. Its more of a personal taste thing. Maybe the way a muscular man sees a woman is sweet loving and caring, clean neat on herself... All that kind of stuff

[MzAsh]

I possess both masculine and feminine characteristics, and am attracted to men with both as well.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

I check all of those points on the Masculine column of that chart, but to answer your question I believe the answer is all parts biology.

[LegateLanius]

I know two brothers, both very masculine. The older brother’s wife is very feminine and dainty, while the younger brother’s wife loves sports and never wears skirts or makeup. From these two couples, I learned not to make sweeping generalizations about what other people's romantic preferences were likely to be.

Masculine men tend to like feminine women.

Feminine women tend to like masculine men.

Masculine women tend to also like masculine men though sometimes slightly different masculinity but still pretty masculine.

This has been a major challenge to efforts to reshape masculinity in boys. It starts collapsing when they start trying to date.

[BCRanger10]

Because I wanted to explore a different world and a different way of thinking and feeling.

So... are the ideologues in the colleges today still going to claim that there's no real and substantial difference between men and women?

[Anonymous]

It's nature. It's natural order.

And to be clear, what we're talking about here is dominant/masculine versus submissive/feminine, and two dominant people will never get along in an intimate relationship. That's really what this comes down to, despite what people like @MlleCake try to argue. They are arguing against nature, and they will never win an argument with mother nature.

[Mexicoman101]

Because they just go well together, what the masculine man lacks in life he can find in the feminine woman & vice versa. Its like how the clown fish and sea anemone have a symbiotic relationship, one has what the other needs.

[just_tired]

I relate to all of the masculine traits, but also many of the feminine ones and I do like girl who's feminine, but a little bit tomboy too.. hypotheses works, I guess.

[kilowatt04]

Hardcore bicyclists, skiers, climbers, body builders, etc. who are male or female go for the same type. The drive to succeed in those sports is a pretty masculine characteristic.

[PinkMichae]

Someone's gotta wear the pants. It only works when one person has the more controlling (Dominate) personality whether it male or female.

[Sienna-Rose]

Maybe because they compliment each other best in certain cases.

[Coconut_Man]

Well you know the old saying "opposites attract".

If you're a masculine guy and you date a feminine girl... then she completes you by being the other half you ain't.

[AudreyB88]

I'm quite balanced between both. I probably am slightly more masculine than feminine.

[Slarenx]

Dat cleavage tho

[ImTheFMan]

Obviously femininity attracts men and masculinity attracts women, as in sexual attraction. You do the math and figure out who's with whom.

[FallOutBoy2001]

I dunno, my boyfriend and I are about equally as masculine

[FallOutBoy2001]

Sooooooo, come to find out I'm also a guy, haha

[hellacray]

I think you might mean introvert and extrovert.

Cause I never heard of a feminine man going for a masculine woman.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I like that Feminine side that a Woman has about herself.

[MackToday]

Probably just the way nature sorts things out. Seems pretty common sense really.

[Toad-1]

Maybe because it makes us feel like men. Ignites that protector and provider feelings in us.

[MlleCake]

I think you make a lot of silly assumptions to even pose this question. Adhering to traditional gender norms is not what makes a person masculine or feminine.

[britpop]

I haven't ever noticed that but I will start observing and get back to u

[Duke1985]

I wonder why you wonder. Both are very normal kinds of people. Why should they not be attracted to each other. They complete each other perfectly. No seriously, what is your question?

[PrincessPie]

Did you read it lol, It is very much a question and it makes sense.

[Duke1985]

I'll read it tomorrow. you caught me only answering to your title ;)

[PrincessPie]

Exactly 😋

[Anonymous]

I like a masculine man with enough feminine energy to understand and accomidate me.

[Krumpir]

Becausenit would feel gay if girl I would date would be manly? And feminine guys are somewhat gay?

[Razal]

I think its natural. By nature a guy is suppose to be masculine, and a girl is suppose to feminine !!

[MrMansonsPocketPssy]

I dunno, but I'm feminine and like masculine guys.

[clampfan101]

Don’t all guys like femininity?

[PrincessPie]

No actually, i known some guys who seem to like masculine traits in guys, and they're feminine guys. this is kind of why i asked this question.

[clampfan101]

Well, I didn’t mean literally every guy. I also find muscular women extremely attractive. Just not as much as sweet Disney princess lookin girls. ;)
What would be different about masculine guys, though?

[PrincessPie]

What do you like about muscular girls do you think?
I don't know i just noticed it lol.

[clampfan101]

I dunno.

[anmari2001]

Guys in general like feminine women

[GayHowellMeme]

Because they are attracted to women

[PrincessPie]

thank you for your well thought out answer gayhowellmeme.

[disgustingweebtrash]

I project more masculine energy

[PrincessPie]

very much so.

[disgustingweebtrash]

Yeah

[TacosRAwesome]

To bring balance to the force.

[KatherineJ]

Because opposites attract

[air_head]

Well i get attracted to my similar

[xZoeyx]

Opposites attract?

[omgjassy]

Opposite attracts.

[Anonymous]

I seem an odd mix of both lists on the chart

[100lbguy]

I project neither, cuz I identify as a something

[Flower-petal]

No clue lol

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Very true

[Giggletr0n]

Opposites attract
