Do you do anything to get in touch with your feminine side? (guys)

Most(if not all) of my friends are female, I sometimes have a gay lisp,
and my wrist sometimes goes limp...
I'm not into fashion or makeup though...

 

I am still trying to find out what side of me is feminine. Can it be the right one?

 

I can't, because I rebel against the idea of stereotyping certain behaviors, characteristics, and/or aspects of oneself as intrinsically "feminine" or "masculine." What's feminine to you may not be feminine to me, and what's masculine to me may not be masculine to you.

For instance, I like magenta and, by extension, things colored magenta. It's a very "pinkish" color so a lot of people may see it as a sign of femininity. I don't, it doesn't make me feel feminine in the slightest, nor masculine for that matter. It just another aspect of me and I don't see the point in "genderizing" it.

That's just me tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I guess I've never really understood this whole thing. I don't particularly consider myself masculine or feminine--I sort of am able to infer that I come off masculine from the fact that people generally seem surprised that I'm gay. But as far as some other way that I am naturally not that I could "get in touch with" it just doesn't really ring true for me. I'm just me and I don't really worry too much about the categories.

 

I don't try to have a feminine side....I just do.

 

I guess I have one by way of (1) interests that are too cerebral and (2) not having the same interests as those who think being a man means grunting.

I can't change that. I've caught flack for it. I don't ever plan on changing that.

I ate at a place this afternoon while the Rose Bowl was on their TVs and I was oblivious to the score. I just glanced at the final score on my homepage. And how is this exactly supposed to change my life? Therein lies the reason why I could never commiserate with people who have 3 hours at a clip to watch sporting events ... and drink ... and yell ... No thanks.

 

Well, basically all of my friends are girls, I have a tendency to do a stereotypical "gay" voice, my wrist goes limp fairly often, I will probably wear nail polish as soon as I move out, I lovee Project Runway...
etc.
But that's because those are my actual interests and mannerisms. I don't try to "get in touch" with my feminine side because it's already there. I think gay and bi people mostly act more "feminine" because society already views them as such and if you're already breaking one gender role, why not another?

 

This. I don't think anyone should be stereotyped by 'feminine' r 'masculine'. You are wh you are, and no one should tell you differently.

I've had several people tell me that I shouldn't dress more like a girl because I'm male-- they automatically thought I was gay-- which I'm not. I guess I'm bi, if anything.

However, getting back to the subject at hand.. I haven't really done anything because my hair isn't long enough to express my androgynous nature quite yet. I've been looking into some hair growth shampoos and the like.

 

I am physically more like a feminine guy and when it comes to romance and attraction I'm fairly feminine but my interests are inherently more masculine in nature and I also don't have a lisp and a stereotypically gay voice.
