Feminine vs. Masculine?

How would everyone here distinguish between feminine and masculine traits (physical and social)? Does muscle size and conditioning factor into it at all?

If you look at a woman and think that she perfectly embodies femininity, what features does she have?

If you look at another woman and think that she looks extremely masculine, how does she differ from the previous woman?

I see muscle as gender-neutral, but I’m also a weirdo.

The capacity for BUILDing muscle, however, skews male-centric.

So, the answers to your presented question come down to whether sex (physio) and gender (psych) can BOTH travel along the masculine-neutral-feminine spectrum. 😉

The muscles are not masculine. it's more about how they present themselves. femmine women have long hair long nails boobs wide hips. and care a lot about appearance wear makeup and typical femmine clothing.

a lot of fbbs act more masculine because they have higher testosteron than the average woman. they have short hair or are even bald and just act manly.

but it's not really about muscle. there are skinny women who act manly .but also some of the biggest fbbs around can still be femmine. like Natalia Amazonska or aleesha young are still femmine in my opinion. just because they do the usual femmine things. despite their very muscular bodies.

The size of the physique has no bearing on the discussion imo. It's all about attitude and presentation. How a woman carries herself. The obvious example is to look at the difference between Natalia Trukhina & Anastasia Korableva. Both huge physiques. But one wears make-up & the type of clothing that enhances her feminine qualities whereas the other is the total opposite with no make-up and dressing herself in clothing more common to what men usually wear. How they flex is another big giveaway. Ana poses in a manner in which it looks as though she takes her cues from how the men do it. Natalia definitely flexes in a manner to enhance her sex appeal. It's all about attitude & presentation. Nothing more, nothing less.

You are both absolutely right - I agree with you!

The only clearly masculine aspect of muscle is the simple fact that, on average, male humans have more muscle mass, which is also why many perceive visible muscle as a masculine trait, though that's a logical jump that doesn't really work, even if it's understandable in terms of group think.

Muscles doesnt mean you're a man otherwise most of top level athletes from any sport would be considered transgender. Most masculine traits is the stache/ beard. Then socially dressing like a dude.
