Hi Some of us Ladies put up various threads about being feminine and/or being a tomboy. What do you men think is concidered feminine? Also how attractive is a tomboy? Thanks!

I hope I dont get slapped for wording this improperly.......

A tomboy who is very femine looking is very attractive as she can fit in anywhere as your date or as one of the boys

I do so hope that makes sence as it does to me

Beauty is strictly in the eye of the beholder. Every woman is sexy to somebody somewhere.

. . . and a lot of "tomboys" simply hide their. . . uh. . . "assets."



(man, I'm gonna' get booted):D

I highly doubt it guys she asked for your input after all.

I asked Doug because I couldn't resist and he says I'm a sexy tomboy lmbo

He says that he's attracted to me when i'm hunting with him because i'll do it and not act all sqeemish and that I accessorize (the orange vest goes with my orange watch and earings really well), I help him with yard work and working on the cars and don't mind getting dirty or greasy but he does hate it that I demand to get the sh ower first.

Hmmm, maybe what I really wanted to know is what is feminine to you guys?
Is it just the physical difference or is there more? Is it long hair and a dress?
What? Thanks... Don't worry my phaser is in the shop ;)

That's got me thinking. Outside of what I find attractive I'm not sure how to answer. No cheap shots at the dim man! :P

It's a look in the eye, it's a comfort in their own skin that's most feminine. It's an open smile.

In my dreams, it's a healthy body, clean skin, clear eyes, the blush of fitness and shiny hair that define what's feminine. It's distinctly individual to each woman is it not?

Cheers! Ian.

After 34 years of life, I finally figured out what does it for me:

The face. Specifically, the shape of the face. Women with a round-shaped face will make me look twice, regardless of any other attribute they may have.

Sure, traditional feminine attributes also work--breasts, hips, legs, etc., but what will hold my attention is a nice face. :)

Hope that helps.

LOL,
Kassie, I wanted to try and explain what I though femininity was an response to the thread in the women's forum, but I found myself completely unable to define it.
I can explaing easy stuff like why the sky is blue and the meaning of life and the origin of God, but this one elueded me.

I can tell you what the things are in a woman that appeal to me, but that's not what you asked!

All I can say is that it is that vital essence that makes a human being to be clearly a woman and not a man, or a boy, or a girl.
Its not sexuality, not sensuality, not beauty, not clothing, not being a "blonde air-head" (with all due apologies to blondes), not makeup or jewelry, not ...

How attractive is a woman who is a tomboy?
If tomboy means a woman who essentially denies she's a woman by her clothing, hair, actions, whatever, its most unattractive to me. It's just as unattractive as a man who denies he's a man and wear's women's clothing.

If it means a woman who does "guy stuff" like fix cars or go hunting or or do carpentry or whatever, I like that. I also like to see a man who can cook, sew, clean house or whatever, too. I think people need to be useful and able to do whatever life demands of them, without regard for their gender.
(But I'd let her use the shower first. :) )

I dont fight for the shower. I prefer the go together part. You wash my back and i wash your back. So much nicer :p

Hey Jonathan? Take a peek under the women's tread area to see what we mean by tomboy.
Its more like our actions than what we wear. Though some of us, me, rather not wear a dress but jeans and a pink shirt instead ;)

I don't really know how to answer what is considered "feminine" because I don't think I've ever gotten to know a woman well, and not found her "feminine" in her own way. I think it has to do with the mind, brain, sensitivity, perspective, just a female way of looking at things.

I LOVE "tomboys". I feel when I am talking with one, FINALLY, thank God I've found a woman I can relate to without all the usual baggage of interpreting between the sexes, watching my step where I speak, etc...

Mrs. Clam has some tomboyish features... but she is also extremely feminine. I don't think the two words are mutually exclusive.

My best female friend outside of my marriage is very tomboyish as well; she has a fantastic ability to look at things from both male and female points of view, has talents that are traditionally "male" ones, and enjoys traditionally "male" entertainments. I find this extremely attractive and if I wasn't already a happily married man in love with my wife (and my friend a happily married woman in love with her husband), I'd probably move to where she is so I could pursue her romantically.

I've known many "tomboy's" that were attractive and feminine.
One of them is CEO of a company and when she is dressed for a business meeting with clients she is a real eye catcher. She's done a couple of Triathalon's and is a real sports jock.

The fact that she is smart, athletic, pretty, and still has style and grace is the right mix of tomfemboy.

Hmmmmm...Your shower, or mine?

I'm one of those who mostly goes by what I feel intuitively. As such, I've always found attire, job, or personal hobbies to be the some of the least weighted when defining feminine character. My opinion is the most attractive women are those who truly love being a woman.

The key to understanding this is that actions speak louder than words.......in volumes. Some women feel their gender lends them toward oppression and it's evident in their life. However, many women feel gifted and embrace everything that is theirs, which is like a neon light strapped atop their head. Women like that should not be allowed in public!! ;)

I like it!!

Crowding :eek: ...now now ;) ...dont be shy :o , the more the merrier :cool: ...right Swampy donkey?? Who knows he maybe a very straight swampy donkey LOL...

I just realize i may have started myself a false reputation on my last post...

I am not a bisexual...i just dont think i can take being put down from both sex.

I expect that what you really want to know is, "What do we find attractive?". 'Feminine' seems to me to be a social construct having little to do with what I find attractive. If you want to know what 'feminine' is in this culture, pick up any of the magazines at the grocery store checkout. Their primary purpose appears to be to teach women how to pretend to be women.

I personally try stay away from 'feminine' women. They seem to be concerned with superficial appearances, which I definitely am not. We wouldn't get along.

As to what is attractive... I've got no set equation, but a smile goes a long way.

My whole life I've been hard on those very women. I tend to pose awkward questions or something that puts them off balance. I remember doing it to L. McKenzie in grade 6. She was some hot, and I had no shortage of female attention but I blew her off rudely when she began to flirt.

She wasn't herself. She was some fashion she thought was herself. It was so obvious to me it was ridiculous. I hadn't thought about this discrimination for years but I still do it, I'm just not provocative with it anymore.

Authenticity is red hot. As the song goes.. "Are you are what you are... or what?"
Thanks Dan. Lit a fire for me on that one.

Personality is the key, fem or tomboy dosen't matter but you do need to take pride in your appearance and who you are.

Great question Keppig, I love reading the responses some of the men are posting. I only with they could meet me in person!
