So I was reading some articles and I wanted to know what proportion of gay guys are masculine, feminine and the other gender expression if I am right to use that! Nothing offensive intended, just to measure diversity Its my first pole so be nice guys
Interesting poll! I'd be curious to hear people elaborate on their answers, especially the "X physically but Y mentally" answers. Personally, I wavered quite a bit before answering. I very much identify as more feminine than the average man, but nothing about my presentation is female and I often inadvertently "pass" as straight! I wonder what my presentation would be like if I was able to fully free myself from societal pressures and expectations.
I say I'm just a regular joe. I'm a "why have gender roles when you can have pizza rolls" kind of person; not viewing myself as a stereotypical hypermasculine "dudebro", but also not seeing myself or identifying with femmes a lot either---though I can see myself fucking around with the idea of both sides of the fence (assuming I have the confidence level for that).
Well being male bodied (trans woman) I'll answer the question. Physically I prefer looking and dressing feminine. I am also sensitive and like pretty things. But my sense of humor and sources of entertainment are entirely dudebro.
I fit under the genderqueer option in the poll quite nicely. Physically male, attracted to people who are physically male, but internally I consider myself agender since that seems to fit my mix of apathy and wariness towards being identified in behavior or disposition as either masculine or feminine and my lack of internal conviction in being one way or the other. The people I happen to be attracted to also seem to have a gender-neutral disposition, not leaning heavily one way or the other in terms of stereotypical interests, fashion, etc.
I think I'm fairly average in terms of gender expression. I mean I have a mix of masculine and feminine qualities like anyone else, but I don't really feel that much stands out in terms of my gender expression. I don't think that I appear hyper-masculine, and I don't think I appear feminine either. I don't think that for people interacting with me they would see me as anything other than an average guy in terms of gender expression, at least not most of the time.
I tend to express myself masculine in the way that I dress and my interests, buy mentally I am rather feminine.
I'm still kinda fluctuating in my gender sometimes so I am going to just post and not add to the poll. I am mentally feminine and outwardly flamboyant/feminine but I always present as an average Joe. I don't know if I count th ough
I have both masculine and feminine features/interests, but I think I lean more masculine mentally. I just can't stand hypermasculine culture.
I would say I'm masculine both physically and mentally. I really enjoy being masculine and it's something that I'm attracted to. However, on rare occasions, I do sometimes have feminine moments. I'm sure even the straightest guys will have a feminine moments on rare occasions.
I said I'm masculine physically because of nature n probably I think feminine clothing don't suit me, not very effeminate either! But mentally I'm all feminine gender roles, to an extent even aversed to masculine gender roles! But I think I'm a guy who likes guys hence gay! So that makes me a physically masculine mentally feminine gay guy!
