Count me out of that mix. I looked at the photos of the feminine men and thought, “Blechhhh.” As a red-blooded, American female, I prefer the ruggedly handsome, masculine-looking guy–who can fix things and protect me–any day of the week to the effeminate, gay-looking girlie-men these “sophisticated Western women” picked. Sadly, according to these studies, many Western women prefer the feminized version. But, to me, even the “masculine” version looks like a chick (see above). Yuck.
And it always ruins my day when I have to sit next to a girlie-man at the day spa. I just laugh at them as I watch them sturggle to roll up their skinny jeans and put their hairy knuckled toes in the tub. Eeeww...
Exactly. The beauty of the huge variety of human physical characteristics is that everyone has their own preferences and will be able to find someone to fit that.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
