Emulating feminine behaviour -- normal?

Question

This is weird. Ever since I was a kid I've liked girls and women a lot. A lot, a lot. So much, that often I emulate behavior that is otherwise feminine. Anything from a few mannerism to taste in music, books, movies, etc.

So although I am very sexually attracted to women my own behavior is not so "masculine" and I'd like to know if anyone has an explanation as to why this may occur, I'd like to hear what women think of this (i.e. would that make you think twice in dating me?).

Answer 1

If you were nice, sweet, caring, brave and bold, I don't care how "feminine" you are. Most guys that care a lot about their masculinity are total jerks, since being sensitive isn't very manly. I would honestly rather date you than someone "big, burly and manly."

Answer 2

I think it's nice that you read.

Answer 3

There's no reason a guy can't be femme. It's quite attractive.

Answer 4

There is no such thing as feminine mannerisms or taste in books.  Taste in art, food, music - whatever -  is an individual thing.   Not all men have the same taste in art, nor do all women.

I think by "masculine" and "feminine" you really mean "gender stereotype" and "cliche".  By definition a cliche isn't a fully fledged human being.

Answer 5

Edit.

Answer 6

bleh sexism not wanting to hear guys opinion too! lol

      sorry had to do that.

Your a metro-sexual. Nothing wrong with that exactly.....

    

If  your that insecure about your "masculinity" or lack of take up a hobby like weight lifting or hiking..

        

But your better off not worrying about it. Just make sure when you meet a girl you like to not act like one of the girls but to act like someone that's interested in them in a more intimate way.

      And spending sometime alone,meditating or reading books you normally wouldnt might help give you more assurance.

Answer 7

If you want complete honesty, you'll probably have a bit of a rough time finding a woman if she sees you as her very best shopping buddy. Feminine behaviors unfortunately tend to be associated with homosexuality in men, which would also put you at a disadvantage.

I personally have a few guy friends who are probably more feminine than I am (which is quite insane), but who I would still date because they are quite attractive.

Ultimately it depends on the chemistry you have with people.
