Well, it is "physical" weakness and submissiveness to masculinity, but it's not weakness per se. It is strength in the things that masculinity is weak in, such as nurturing children, caring for the wounded - a woman's touch means the world to a wounded soldier, building a nest (organizing a household), laying eggs (having and raising kids to be successful adults). Masculinity is for building the world, fighting evil, defending the innocent. Femininity is for bringing the next generation into the world, caring for the innocent, nurturing the injured back to health so they can go out and build the world, fight evil, and defend the innocent.

[@laurananas2424]

@xokelis0015 Could we understand from your point of view that women can't build the world just as men do ? Because women now work (and then contribute to society), have big responsibilities, make decisions (sometimes wiser according to certain studies - "men make more extreme decisions according to Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS)"). Men and women build society together and that's why in my opinion we shouldn't give feminity and masculinity references just as you did. My opinion.

[@stephanledford9792]

@@laurananas2424 Go back to the comment in the video about the mind / mouth saying one thing and biology something different. As Brett put it, "biology hasn't caught up yet". Let's take your comment, which at some level makes perfect sense - men and women now work in the workplace together and both contribute to society. That doesn't change the biologically engrained preferences that men and women have when they are looking for a partner / mate. It doesn't matter whether or not women can or cannot build the world just as men do, overall, men are going to prefer a female who is feminine and loyal, someone they feel they can trust, and women are looking for a man who is confident, can take care of them and a leader. Yes, we now live in cities and work together at offices, but we are still locked into the same mindset that we had for thousands of years when we were part of wandering tribes, where the men went out to hunt for game and the women worked at the camp, taking care of the children and handling the social part of society.

I think plenty of women in this generation will eventually despise these last few. Sold a bad bill of goods. It's been such inconsistent advice that only serves to make women look good and appeal to their inner vanity, not actual good advice for their life. Those older feminists are trying to justify their choices that are TOO LATE to correct, so they manage and rationalize their choices that's just being human, yet not someone giving constructive advice. And also those previous generations had far more of a "grab-bag" of feminism where they could pick what parts suited them, and ignore the rest. This generation merely watched that farce and are true-blue believers. Why wouldn't they?

[@willcresson8776]

My partner is also a big tomboy, though she never tried to hide it. She definitely has become more outwardly feminine through the years, but it's still very obvious she was the youngest raised by three older brothers, while I was raised largely by my older sister. She loves toilet humor. I tolerate it, but I do not see the humor (or disgust) in it. Everybody poops, its just a thing that animals do. Little stuff like that. She's also an Amazonian woman. 5'9/5'10ish, 185lbs, with a decent bit of a six pack most of the year (we both get soft in the winter). When we first got together, I was actually shorter than she was (got taller on HRT), but she loved the fact I could pick her up, toss her around, and manhandle her (I'm not tall but I'm built like a brick shithouse and have been a competitive weightlifter on and off most of my life).

[@AndyViant]

I dated a kick-boxer. Being into fitness doesn't make you unfeminine. Muscle Mommys are a thing, and hot af. And being dedicated and motivated are a turn on to see someone committed to a goal. The issues from training for strength and aggression may cause dramas, however. We had some blues where she threatened certain things, many false, some violent, because there are behavioral changes from testosterone (as well as other psychological issues she had), but at the time I was fairly buff myself. I don't think that was from her training as she wasn't on roids or anything, but just due to her personal issues and divorce. Luckily for both of us she never crossed THAT line there (she did others and that's why we eventually separated). Was close a few times though. I was 4 inches taller than her and pretty capable myself, had been hitting the gym pretty hard after a 10 year relationship. It didn't mean that she didn't have the capability to hurt me, as her combat training was at a bit higher level than mine. But with a 15 kilo weight advantage and the muscles of a gym fit man it certainly was enough for her to reassess the risk. Honestly it would have been like watching an MMA kickboxer versus wrestler. Although I had done some go ju kai, tae kwon do, wrestling and boxing, her strike game was much superior to mine. But pure strength wise she had zero chance against me. TL;DR girls can hurt guys but they really shouldn't try. Dudes shouldn't try to hurt girls. Problem solved.

[@AndyViant]

@@justinbruck9602 honestly the piercings, the muscles, there's a market. She could try and feminize that or go full gym mode power couple and the odds at this stage are probably 50/50 as to success rate... But the real question here is what does she feel she wants to be? We don't know her gym motivations. We don't know her dating motivations. We don't know her goals. She might have hit the gym hard due to weight loss goals, or to deal with depression, or recover from injury. Or as a distraction from separation. Or to break another addiction. She's a good base. She can be lots of things from here. But rather than us project on her we really need her to make those choices.

“You can be a strong woman and still be feminine.” This was a game changer for me, too. I would put down pink and bows and sparkly things as girly and weak, thinking it made me better. But one day I realized the beauty of being a female is that you can be strong AND beautiful, and the two aren’t opposites. That’s why I don’t get people who drag on girls who lift weights or do sports, like the girl in this video, as something that is anti-feminine or “bad woman.” I think girls who take the time to make themselves strong are really cool, especially because a lot of people tell them they shouldn’t be. Every practical reason to lift weights and be in good health applies to both sexes. I hope girls aren’t turned off by online men telling them to be physically weak so someone will love them.

Also I think she has made herself appealing to the fully tattooed crowd and in doing so has removed her appeal from the more traditional clean or tattooed free crowed.

This conversation is not a new one. It has only been amplified and spotlighted by the ease and access of social media. Years ago, when I was in my 20's, I worked with several 'party girls'. As I got to know them I realized that they wanted stability and even tradition in their lives as it pertained to the men they knew, and the relationships they were in and out of, yet were seen as just one of the guys. They competed on every level, whether it be drinking games and partying or telling rude jokes, whatever, and that was besides the competition doing actual work in the workplace. I remember one girl's brain exploding when I told her that she would always find men to have fun with, as she was hot, intelligent and had a great personality. But guys saw her as another guy friend, a buddy, someone to have fun with and not a serious contender for 'wife' material, or even anything long term. Every guy I've known, including my five brothers and myself included don't want just another buddy. We have those already. They want the uniqueness of a female--feminine, soft and sweet. Child bearing hips and a talent in the kitchen help too :) I understand how this sounds, however men care less and less about the current agenda. They just want their women back--not servants.

I want to get married and have children. (Some of my relatives are feminist so I grew up thinking it was bad to be femenine) I was no feeling good with myself until my healing process started. Now i really feel like myself. It was a constant inner fight before, I was not happy at all.

I Love that Brett Cooper talked about her younger years. The tomboy defense mechanism was what I went through and its so nice to know other women might have gone through that. 💖 I didnt embrace my feminine energy until I went to college in my early 20s. Women become more hardened and masculine sometimes out of self protection. I would love a world where we can enjoy our feminine energy safely.

I'm an older guy from South Africa, I'd say a regular everyday dad and husband, with a daughter and two young sons, all in their early to mid 20's. As a therapist who works with students my intuitive feeling is that this girl is pretty smart, open to change and ideas, agreeable and seems to have kindness in her. Add to this that she is quirky, attractive and healthy, and it seems that you have a young woman who will likely be a pretty good GF or wife to be with. I'm grateful that Brett showed her some kindness, did not judge her, and took an overall positive view of her. I think that some young man out there, with some decency and foresight, is going to find a good partner in her. I truly wish her the best, and a partner who can show her the love and commitment she seems ready to give and receive. She's learnt a few things about life choices at a young age, unlikely to make crazy future changes, and I wish her the very best in finding her life mate. If we are kinder to one another, we will bring the best out of each other. Judgement and scorn is not helpful, and the last thing she needs right now. All the best to you lovely young lady!

I'll say this much for her; the fact that she's not blaming anyone else for her own choices puts her miles ahead of the competition. Also one very simple thing she can do is lose the septum piercing; most men see that as a red flag on par with dyed hair and pronouns in the bio.

I work as a developement engineer and I'm about to get married next year.

I have no idea why people make it such a big deal, it's a piece of metal. If you don't like it, don't get one. I don't like plenty of stuff other people do with their looks, but I still respect them enough to not bash their looks.

[@joebermuda6452]

Her self awareness and lack of male condemnation for their preferences is commendable

[@BrolyPowerMaximum]

We had all of these women calling masculinity toxic, while trying to become masculine. Talking about toxic locker room talk of men, while saying WAP is female empowerment. Saying that giving away one of the things that is most valuable and intimate for a person to give, for free, is female empowerment. That’s what happens when you look at the world in terms of halve and have nots. You get jealous and bitter and envious and quite frankly, increasingly narcissistic. I’ve seen this happen to both men and women, but it seems like women are particularly struggling with it over the last 10 years. Bouncing from one relationship to the next downhill thinking that over each next fence the grass is going to get greener, accumulating trauma at many times like a boxer getting punch drunk overtime. Life is about moderation for a great many things. People will try and convince you that you should want to be at the extremes, but you will probably probably be the happiest in the middle of the bell curves. You don’t wanna be too manic, you don’t wanna be too stoic. You don’t wanna be too skinny, you don’t wanna be too large. Don’t want to be weak, but you don’t want to hyper fixate on being strong it just envelop your life. You don’t want the opposite side of the dating pool, but you also want to be respected and equivocal. I think women are particularly competitive, especially amongst themselves. And it’s funny because if you get 10 women in a circle, they’ll rate each other 10s. They absolutely have thoughts and are communicating things in between and use as a phantom boogie strawman. When it’s a man that they ultimately usually want. You’re competing against those women for men you’re not competing against that many men, for men. It’s baked into our biology. This problem is not exclusive to women, but women seem to be increasingly fed these messages of entitlement that are cast against the truth of reality. You can find whatever you want to hear or see especially since other people are incentivized to get your attention. So naturally, people gravitate towards things that they want to hear and people gravitate towards saying the things that other people want to hear. Gets paid, other gets justified. Or maybe it’s a mutual exchange of feeling justified. Meanwhile, women are succeeding where those people are finding cyclic echo chambers or cyclic para-social affirmation for their life choices. And the world is going to weed this kind of behavior out, ultimately, by punishing these choices more often than not. And it’s not in ways that people see coming. And then, when they figure it out, they tell perpetual lies to themselves so as to not be at odds with all of their sunk cost. I don’t really care what the women that I don’t invest into do. They can have their wine parties, and they can go, and they can go sleep around and they can go do whatever. I rewarded the kind of woman like my wife herself to a different standard and sought someone out who had a better standard, as well. I think a lot of the time when women communicate, they are looking to feel affirmed and justified for the feelings that they have and are communicating. The problem is is when you take men out of those conversations, you’re only going to have echo chambers of lies or partial truths at best. Nobody’s going to hold you accountable and you’re the one who’s going to ultimately suffer. Like skinny women telling their friends that they should eat whatever they want to because of body positivity… Well, now those people are less likely to be compete with other women and men. Or women telling each other that sleeping around as empowerment. That person Also has lost comparative value in the marriage pool. And people get confused because they think that they can hook up - Guys have learned to avoid women who give that away too easily because if it’s given so easily and to so many, what does it mean that they give it to them number one and how do they know that they’re not going to just keep being that way if they’re given a chance? How do they know there’s not some psycho that’s going to show up?

Hey Brett, I discovered your channel a few months ago and I want to tell you how much you've influenced me for good. I'm a very masculine, tomboy girl like yourself and your description of your teenage years hanging with the boys and rejecting anything feminine sounds exactly like my last 4-5 years. Watching you gives me a lot of hope for my future and I want to say thank you for being an amazing female and Christian example.

[@hobosnake1]

Also, just know that most of this is having to do with the energy you put out and how you present yourself. If you're into traditionally male hobbies like gaming, computers, sports, welding for all I care, that's completely fine. Or if you want to be career-focused. That's all good with me personally. It's more just: Don't dress like a man and don't try to overpower me or lead in the relationship. Say important stuff and call me out on my crap, but don't try to take the reigns.

[@naebang2013]

I was also a tomboy and I later found a husband (later than age 25, and he balances me out. I’m more sporty and lead my kids in sports, he’s more musical. It’s fine! Also, he finds nice clothes for me that are often more “dressy” than I would choose, but he wants me to look softer I’m sure. So while I do live in sportswear most of the time, on date nights I will dress up, look nice and put on high heels. It’s okay. Men and women can both share in feminine and masculine traits.)

As someone who was naturally a tomboy growing up, desperately trying to figure out how to be "girly" and failing epically, I finally gave up and just enjoyed my life as a trainer and getting jacked. And then suddenly, it's like my confidence must have been glowing for the first time in my life because all the boys came out of the woodwork. This buff girl had the strongest, sweetest, most respectable, silly, loving men trying to get her attention, to the point where I just don't want the attention anymore half the time lol. Hot take, based on my experiences as a strong lady who gives off the vibe that I don't NEED a man to get by - and also based off what I've seen from the badass gym girlies around me: Be yourself. There are plenty of men who will love you if you stay true to who you are. It's damn obvious when you're instead, living to be what other's want. If you are a strong, independent, lady, lean into it. You tend to attract men who know they can't eff with you or play with your heart, because they know you only WANT them, not NEED them, and because you'll eff them up right back 🤣

I once was teased for liking the color pink cause the person probably thought I only liked it cause I was a girl, but I genuinely just liked it at the time. Pink has become the color that guys get made fun of for liking and girls get made fun of cause people think "they're falling into the gender stereotypes" but like relax, it's just a color. XD

To be frank the tomboyishness has always been super attractive because as a man socialized by women mostly, it was this happy medium that was easy to connect to. It goes a long way when you simply decide you are going to love the person you chose unconditionally as they are, without superficial preferences getting in the way.

I mean I’m sorry but as a man, it seems fairly obviously that femininity isn’t weakness but strength. Without even having to dig that deep into it, just take at what most successful and happy women tend to be like. They’re generally supportive wives and proud moms because they’re feminine which landed them an equal counterpart of a man. They’re friendly, supportive, easy to be around, soothing, positive… that’s a strength and has attracted a lot of good in their lives. I don’t want people to take away that you can’t be both feminine and successful career-wise either, I still don’t think that’s necessarily true. But you can separate the two worlds, and in your personal life, you’ll probably get a lot more fulfillment embracing femininity, unless that’s just truly not like you, which is fine.

Funny, my wife has tattoos, one that I put on her (I was a tattooist) and others she had before we were married, she is a very feminine woman. This month we have been married 47 years with 6 children, 22 Grandchildren and 4 Great Grandchildren... This young lady seems like she has a great character and thinks about things, she is sensitive and I hope she meets a man who will accept her and look after her.

[@analogueoverdigital929]

Exceptions. Not the norms..most tatted women are not feminine and definitely not wife material. MOST.

[@NotSamSage]

My wife is a 6 foot tall, strong, badass woman. And I find her gorgeous. Now, I’m a 6’4” former powerlifter, football player, etc. She just needs to find someone that appreciates her for her.

[@fernandafranco936]

I'd like to give my opinion in this subject. Sure, I'm not a dude, I'm a woman, soooo... I can't fully affirm everything about men attraction towards women, and I recognize that. But I'd like to say my point of view based on my experiences and thoughts: I think the current problem of society is taking things too much to the extreme: either you're a housewife, totally traditional, don't have your own career, only follow the traditional standarts for lifestyle, dressing, etc... Or you're a totally ogre, overly masculine, unworthy of men's attraction etc etc. Why can't a woman just be feminine, but with some tomboyish traits? It's not like a girl can't be loved by any man just because she's not 100% feminine. Of course, I understand that inevitably the guys in general will for sure feel more attracted to the more feminine girls. But that doesn't mean only the girly traditional girls will be loved, like... ?????? I'll take myself as an example: I'm a considerably feminine girl. Not very much tho... I don't really fit in the traditional. Not a fan of makeup (I don't hate it either. I'd probably use it to go on a party, an event or smth, but not on a daily basis), I rarely wear dresses, I enjoy short hair, I have a small tattoo in my forearm and I want to have my own business. And before you come and call me a pick me girl... I also don't really fit in the "masculine woman" category: I really dislike piercings, sometimes I actually do enjoy using some skirts, I really like pink stuff, and even though I'm not a fan of dresses, I still dress like a woman normally would, but in a more country-ish style: Cuff boots, jeans, regular shirt, a bandana in my neck... So yeah, I don't really try to fit in any category. I'm just me! And I think we all should just try be ourselves without giving so much importance about labels. About the woman in the video... I think her issue with being attractive to men is the way she portrays herself in general. She have an exaggerated amount of tattoos, have a general "denying my femininity" look, have that weird looking nose piercing... In my opinion she looks like a really nice person, but the style she embraced is just not what the majority of male feel attracted to, and that's reality. There's no reason to deny it: Men like femininity, just as women like masculinity. But there's the other side in this too... At the same time that I agree that it's just dumb to deny that femininity is what guys are looking for, I also find pretty annoying the people who just take this situation to go on and say "HAH! See? Modern woman bad! Only tradwife good!". And here is where I get into the subject of unnecessary extremes. We don't need to be TOTALLY traditional to be likeable for men! We CAN still be feminine, and have some modern traits. We CAN be wives, but also have our own jobs. We DON'T have to follow a extreme direction for everything, damn! It's not like every man in the world will start to despise me just because I have a single tattoo in my arm, or because I want to have my business! It's the same thing for men... For sure I like masculine traits in guys, but it's not because of that, that I'll reject every guy who's not a complete giga-Chad-looking-like! No one should feel obligated to go to a extreme, because we're all human and have our nuances! So basically... Everything feels so extreme to me right now, and I really wanted to express my feelings about that. In general, what I want to say is: Don't come at people all woke, trying to deny reality and expect people to completely fall in love with you even if you don't even try to be attractive to the opposite gender somehow. But at the same time, don't limit yourself to labels, humans are more than labels, and we're all free to be ourselves. It's okay to be a tomboyish girl! It's okay to be a little feminine guy! But also, try to embrace your femininity as a woman, and your masculinity as a man! PS: I'm a conservative woman, if anyone is wondering, and I'm brazilian :P Love your videos, Brett! Keep doing this great work!

[@movieswain1019]

We have to be careful telling people they have to be a certain way to attract a certain thing. Be you. Embrace you. Being self-aware in the fact that androgynous energy will attract less men, and that it is okay, is a good thing. You're not wrong or any less female. You will just have less options, and that is okay. My dad was raised by a strong woman, married a strong woman, and raised a strong woman. He wasn't feminine. He worked as a roughneck in the oilfield business. He also just found strong women attractive. I'm not as feminine as my other friends, but I am okay with that. When I was a teenager, I had a friend tell me that I should be less sporty if I wanted to get more guys' attention. I said that the right guy will like me for me. And I've been married for 16 years - and yes to a man. I didn't compromise who I was just to get more men's attention.

[@notapaypal]

i dont think its about the look, i think its about trying to act better than your partner/person you’re interested in. No one likes arrogance. theres always someone out there for you, don’t need to do a whole 360 on yourself. Just be realistic. its ok to not be ultra feminine, just dont see it as a bad thing, don’t try to hold yourself back

[@victoriamorriscf8386]

I really feel for her. She's self aware enough to be realizing that she's presenting and image or energy thst isn't attracting the kind of attention she's craving. I can relate. I was a tomboy and a tough kid. I never got the attention of the males I was interested in. I was "one of the guys" but never sought after as a girlfriend. Not ironically, since I've been married to a very alpha, very traditionally masculine, country, hard working, blue collar man for 10 years, I've become more soft and feminine. I've had 2 babies and got 1 on the way. If I had a chance to meet this seemingly very sweet and genuine lady, I'd give her a hug, tell her I agree with her conclusion, but that there's certainly hope! I haven't lost my edge as a tomboy. 😅 I consider myself very much so one today. I still do farm work, wear ratty jeans and boots, I am a horseshoer and can swing a hammer better than most men I know. I can still lift a hay bale or carry a 5 gallon bucket of water, I just do it with a baby on my hip, these days. 😂 But it's all about what you're wanting ti draw attention to. Maybe try taking out some piercings, maybe dress a little softer, more modest? Maybe be intentional about softening your energy a bit. Even little details like a more feminine hairstyle or less makeup, can instantly make a girl seem more approachable. But no matter what approach you take, it's not as important as realizing that the way to attract the kind of attention you want, is in your control. Thats everything. It gives you some power to influence your future interactions.

I have a good female friend who is very tomboyish. She never had any problems attracting guys. She dated a lot when younger. Currently she's been married almost 20 yrs (to a guy) and they have 2 kids. Yet she's been always so tomboyish that when I showed her pic to some of my other friends they assumed she was a lesbian.

[@demonsalwayswin]

Because many men are attracted to that. And lots of different men have different types. I'm heavily tattooed and it's mostly tattoo free men attracted to me. Also feminine/masculine is more about personality. I wear make up, heels, skirts/dresses and I do not consider myself feminine and not because of tattoos.

I love hearing her perspective! So relatable

[@stevecampos1960]

Brilliant analysis and empathy, Brett. My admiration for you grows daily. So glad you are as self-aware as you are and that you navigated through those phases of self-discovery so well and balanced. You have grown to become a person who comes across as very intelligent, attractive, and strong, without sacrificing feminine traits, in ways that make you excellent “wife material.” From a dating perspective, many intelligent and confident men would not be threatened by you (I hope) and would see you as abundantly feminine and beautiful, IMHO. I have known many outstanding wives who might appear to be overly submissive to some (like to the tatted/septum-pierced woman) but in reality, what those “progressive” women perceive as weakness or inappropriate submissiveness is actually graciousness and a heart of service (not servitude). That, in a nutshell, embodies the key to a successful marriage - when BOTH spouses voluntarily serve each other’s needs and desires and are gracious when accountability is dispensed (and despite nearly 35 years of a great marriage, we are still learning how to be more gracious and to gently voice desired changes without a frustrated tone, although my wife is way ahead of me on that count).

[@AnOrginalUser]

Damn bro wrote a whole essay

[@areagh13]

I would say the same thing Brett's Mom said, feminine does not mean weak. Feminine is beautiful and women should embrace it. You can be feminine and still be a strong woman with great aspirations. Being feminine doesn't mean giving up on your hopes and dreams it means embracing your biology

[@hugostiglitzracing866]

It can though. The same thing that makes a girl so cute it hurts at other times can make her so weak and apprehensive it's annoying LOL It's still infinitely more desirable than masculine traits but I'd prefer a girl that can take the best traits from both. Like a girl that has at least one hobby or talent I will take over the many girls that have none, any day. The girl in the video exercising is a great example especially because it also makes her look much more attractive but any hobby builds character IMO. if a girl plays an instrument like guitar I fall in love in no time lol

[@Jade.pawz3]

@@hugostiglitzracing866 not really, actually. That’s not feminine itself. That person might just have that personality. You don’t have to try to oppress women any more than they already are by saying this. I’m done with the, “But some are!” Crap.

[@mackenziegohdes7963]

The difficulty is that a lot of this is also based off of the type of man that she is attracted to. Depending on our upbringing and the type of relational trauma we have, it can be very difficult to find someone who is healthy and also wants a long term relationship. Even if we want a long term relationship, if we do not deal with our trauma we subconsciously send out messages that can push away the type of people who match what we want and pull in people that would be toxic for us. This conversation is a little deeper than just focusing on masculine and feminine, but dealing with individual trauma is not possible/not healthy on this type of platform, but femininity is definitely powerful.

[@AleenaLearner]

That's what I was thinking more or less, because I'm used to nerdy communities that would find her very hot. I'm one of them by the way. I had a wallpaper of Vladislava Galagan on my PC for some time. But yes, in my case the reason why I find muscular women attractive is probably something to do with personal gaps and maybe some deeper need for protection, I don't know. Not the greenest flag in the world.

Back in the 1970's when feminism was hitting its stride, there was a show called "Good Times", and they had a quasi-battle of the sex's episode. I still remember a quote from Florida Evans to her husband, "I don't want to be ahead of you, but I don't want to walk behind you, either. James, I want to walk with you." To me, that's the attitude to have in a marriage.

[@RequiemDead]

Yes, I do want a women who looks like her. The problem is not her personality or looks, its her standard in men she is going after...She is clearly setting the bar low for herself and what type of guy she is attracted to.

I personally think this is the best time to be a woman. And indeed femininity is a strength and one can be feminine and strong - you just need to lean into both in different ways and in different situations.

[@yamuthaho]

I think this is true for men too. A man can be masculine and have positive feminine qualities like being more nurturing and vulnerable. I’m like my godfather in this way. He’s masculine, a provider, very physically fit, gets women’s attention, is usually the “alpha male” in the room but the way he cares for and loves on his kids and the family/friends around him is warm like it comes from a mother’s touch but when it’s time to be the disciplinarian patriarch he’s able to tap in to that very easily as well. It’s hard for me to explain exactly but he’s emotionally intelligent and a balanced individual. I don’t know if that makes sense.

[@hobosnake1]

This is what I'm sayin! I've dated a girl who was a software engineer/gamer and was into many hobbies you'd generally consider male dominated. That didn't make her masculine to me. She still looked feminine and acted feminine in the ways that count. Also, it's not like you can't have ANY masculine energy either. That can be fun sometimes too, but I do really require that a girl is generally more feminine most of the time.

[@idontwantthis702]
