"you can be attracted to men without masculinity." Do you agree?

    Well fair enough, that was an assumption of the logic going on within the brain.

    Look, I've read up on this stuff. And it wasn't from biased or baseless sources. Strong gender features indicate puberty went well, an indicator of an history overall good health.
    Go look at the ladies lounge eye candy thread, or the gentlemen's lounge equivalent.
    There'll be individual taste variances, sure, but the average will 100% not be androgyny.

    A woman CAN find an androgynous man attractive, but overall, most women most of the time will be guided by evolution to go for the athletic hunk.

    Why would our species instincts want androgyny, ...that's uncertainty, is it a man or a woman...should I mate with it....or should i fight with it...how do I know which it is.
    Our inner chimp would be confused.

    I recall an interview with a private investigation firm, they were quite successful, and specialized in partner fidelity.
    They'd use a honey trap to establish loyalty levels.
    The partner under investigation would be flirted with/approached by one of their models.
    Both these 'temptatyion' models were as any half intelligent person would expect.

    Her - slender, young, nice rack.
    Him - tall, athletic, rich established man vibe.
    Neither androgynous.

    Because androgyny isn't the instinctive ideal.


    I have never claimed it was. I've mentioned that I like it. That is all.

    Fine, but most don't.
    That's my point, you can like x but most humans like y.

    I'd say a lot depends on your childhood too. My dad is about as far as you can get from macho without being camp, and I've always veered towards slimmer, softly spoken men, long hair and eyelashes, not bothered about height etc. But I'd never associate those traits with a lack of masculinity. Hypermasculine types are actively unattractive to me in most cases.

    Lads like the most recent Superman, or women like Georgia Salpa leave me totally cold, I'd always be drawn more to people like Ellen Page or Ben Wishaw.

    I know I'm nowhere near representative of most people, but there are dozens of us! So yes I'd agree with the statement.
