Women prefer feminine men over masculine men?

I read on the Internet that women believe that a relationship with a feminine-looking man will last longer than a relationship with a masculine man.

Right. I have run across this same thing in my studies.

Women want a feminine looking man as their companion and a manly looking man for their sexual partner at the peak of their menstrual cycle.

Mother natures logic for this is simply:

A man that has high in testosterone levels will exhibit manly features such as muscle mass, toned body, chiseled jaw, and pronounced eyebrow ridges. These features indicate a male with high testosterone. High testosterone means the man is healthy and will produce good offspring.

Women want the toned down man to be their long term companion because he will not be taken as easily by other competing females AND women subconsciously think a man that looks more like a woman is also smarter because women think that men are not as smart as women so they think a more feminine man will exhibit intelligence closer to a woman’s.(which is true)…depending on how you measure this “smart”. A smart man can provide for the family better and the “kinder” looking face is more comforting than an aggressive but attractive males face….

Why do you think women swoon all the time for the gay guy? Simple, he takes care of himself AND the gay man can actually hold a good conversation with a woman.

However…why cannot a man have the looks of a man with high testosterone AND be a kind, caring, loving, man for the family? HMMM?

I think thats partially becuase women have a tendency to want what they cant have. 😐

I watched a program about wether women liked feminine men and a guy asked women wether they liked guys that cried and the women replied that they didnt basically they guy implied that women were lying to be polite.

Putting it into context I think women like guys to have some feminine attributes some of the time, for exmaple I think a women likes to see a strong male partner cry once every blue moon but if he cried all the time it would piss them off.

I also think guys like women to have masculine attributes sometimes 😈

I thought it might have more to do with childrearing. Due to the nurturing drive that women have to care for children, wouldn't they also assume that a man who looks more effeminate would be better at raising a child or be more willing to commit their resourses to the family (I guess you did mention the competition between females for an alpha male).

YES... ✅

I think it might have more to do with the fact that women find gay men much less intimidating than straight men

Or the fact that humans like to try and attain the unattainable.

Cause men do the same thing of wanting that which they can't have.

Emo's rejoice!

but we buff men get all the hot one night stands.

I never understand when women swoon over guys that look more girly than themselves; look like they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.

lol

it's because women don't like violence 😉
