OK -
so a question for all the ladies... I would particularly like to see the difference in responses to this based on age and overall achievement level (career, money, education....)

What do you consider "masculine"?
What do you consider feminine?

Would you rather date a guy that's more masculine or more feminine? Or what would be the right balance in your opinion? Can you point out specifics?

Over time and due to my environment, I've really become quite comfortable with my "feminine" side. Almost too much, to the point of losing regard for those masculine qualities. Matter of fact, I've come to mock them. I guess I'm just concerned about becoming "macho" which frankly I think is so low class.

SO what's your input? What traits are masculine, and how do they differ from Macho? What "actions" would your masculine man do vs a feminine man?

mhhh....

Give me a macho Alpha-male with hair on his chest any day. A man like that is in a class of his own.

Seriously?

Yeah, I guess firefighters and military and police and the like are so very low class.

But I'll bet they get more action. Just sayin...

So does that mean you feel feminine women are low class as well?

Ye gods no! Feminine women *have* class. I think feminine women are the original ones who *defined* class.

Feminine women are sexy, confident, capable, better at dealing with emotion, empathic, graceful, and mysterious. I wouldn't want a woman who is not feminine.

...low class, indeed. *chuckle* yeah, right.

The OP didn't say that, I was just extrapolating for him to show the definition of "ridiculous".

Besides, feminine and masculine are all subjective anyway. I fight pittbulls and climb through trash as a daily part of my job, but when the guys see me after work, they barely recognize me. I also sing classical music when I'm not working. For generations, the women in my family have never thought "strong" and "feminine" were mutually exclusive.
