How do I look less masculine?
This question is too general. Please add more information or reason.
Are men and boys more or less masculine than they were in previous generations?
Original question: Are men and boys more or less masculine than they were in previous generations?Feminists blame worsening social problems on masculinity. Mass Killings in the US: Masculinity, Masculinity, Masculinity. Others say that men are less masculine so masculinity can't be the reason. Why Men Are Becoming More Like WomenGender Switch: When Did Men Become So Feminine?What do you think?This is actually a very good question. Do you remember when men wore wigs, makeup, perfume, stockings, and high heels? No, I'm not talking about drag queens.King Louis XIV - image from High Heels Were Popular Among Men Before Women Or how about when men were the majority of secretaries [1] and teachers[2] ?I bet when you see these things today, you say those are femine traits so men who do these things are less masculine. And that's my point.Masculine and femine traits are dictated by society, not by genetics. Each of the items I mentioned were masculine traits of their time. Women would begin to adapt these traits to be seen as more equal to men and then men would find something else that was 'masculine' to separate themselves again and declare those past 'masculine' things as 'feminine'. So this generation of men is no more or less 'masculine' than any generation before. Our societal belief systems have changed, that's all.Concerning the articles you cite, it seems that those women, like so many men, are trying to hang on to the past few generations' societal beliefs and use those outdated ideals to lay blame instead of looking forward to the future or even looking inward to the present. I don't care what they label themselves as, they are people and they are as much a part of the problem as others who don't write articles but teach their children gender roles by putting up barriers to letting society evolve its definitions of 'masculine' and 'femine' as societies have done since the dawn of time. And the last article is not written by a feminist, regardless of what she says she is. It's written by someone who wants defined gender roles and does not want people to have a choice. That is not a feminist.Footnotes[1] A Look Back at the Secretary Profession[2] Page on googleusercontent.com
Why do I look more masculine sometimes?
Although I don't feel any different, sometimes when I look in the mirror my face looks more masculine to me than usual. It seriously bothers me and lowers my self-esteem. However, this only happens sometimes. Usually I'd say I look more feminine. Why does this happen?
Why does aging make men look more masculine and women less feminine?
What does not look feminine about the older Brooke Shields? She looks like all woman to me. She was a child in the previous picture. These are not very good examples for the point you're trying to make. Sure, older men might look more masculine... that doesn't make them more attractive unless, of course, they are blessed with Brad Pitt's trainer, chef and stylist.
Do empathetic men look less masculine?
I've known a lot of men and I can share that many of them are surprisingly empathetic, no matter what they look or behave like.After all empathy is an ability to make an emotional connection and therefore people who are able to connect with others; think of them and consider their feelings first simply don't have any tell-tale physical attributes like bigger biceps or less body hair, longer big toes or Neanderthal brow lines.In previous centuries we called these men Gentlemen.Some guys are incredibly intuitive as well!I think that a lot of men really have to work hard to appear as the thoughtless, emotionless, dumb brute, gorilla kinda guys which may be fashionable in some of the more uncouth parts of the world.
What are some ways a "pretty boy" can look more masculine?
Some facial hair (like you haven't shaved a few days, not a real beard and certainly not a goatee) is good, because it indicates you're a MAN.Wearing natural materials, like denim, leather, linen, cotton - gives an earthly feel, like you're a man who works with his hands type of a guy. Keep the colors neutral (black, white, blue, khaki, gray, camel) because you don't want to be even prettier than you already are.And here comes the golden tip: whenever in doubt, think of a fictional character who had a pretty face and was still very manly and ask yourself whether they would wear the outfit or item in question.The best example for me is Clint Eastwood as Blondie in The Good the Bad and the Ugly - no one prettier, no one more masculine! Good luck.
Does driving a minivan make a man look less masculine?
I was just about to pass on this, but having just seen similar comments on-line quoting Piers Morgan speaking about Daniel Craig looking “less than masculine” by carrying his baby in a front sling, I do have a comment, which is “who cares?”I guess the answer would be that you care, since you ask the question, but why do you feel that you have to prove your masculinity? Why does it matter? Can’t you just relax and be the person you are?My wife made a comment a few months ago that astounded me. She told me that I was the most masculine man she had ever met. I was flabbergasted. I’m not macho at all, I like to do stuff in the theatre, I have friends of all sexualities, I like to race motorcycles but I also like to write plays. I listen to all types of music. I have a slight competitive streak, but far less than some. I used to like to play rugby, but I sometimes also do a bit of sewing when I need to. She told me that was the whole point. I’m completely relaxed about my heterosexuality and have no apparent desire to prove it to anyone.I’m aware that a lot of men do feel a need to prove how masculine they are, by various means, frequently by attacking other men, constantly chasing women and putting on displays of one kind or another. Somebody in the UK invented the term “cock waving” for this sort of thing, and though a little crude, I rather like it.So it seems that Piers Morgan and his like are well into cock waving and feel it is necessary to prove your masculinity. Have fun showing off to each other, guys. There are many of us who don’t give a toss. I recommend it.
