It feels fishy when they* say jawlines etc. are not important when every single one of these damn threads involves some guy with a very explicitly masculine jawline, high cheekbones, chiseled features, lean etc. Never do I see a guy who could remotely be described as 'feminine LOOKING' or having 'softer features'. I can only come to 4 conclusions
i) They are lying to pacify my* insecurities (20%)
ii) The women who like these are older, mostly in their thirties/forties when their hormones have died down (the Wall) and therefore not the majority demographic of this forum (20%)
iii) The women who like feminine-looking men have a lower libido and therefore feel less need to post threads comparing high-test guys when horny anyway (30%)
iv) The women who are attracted to feminine men tend to be primarily attracted to a less physical trait, more of character (Usually good sense of humour, compassion/caring, good with kids, intelligent, some form of talent etc.) Therefore the feminine features are actually a 'trade off', that is to say they are not unattractive per se but would not actually attract without the former deeper qualities (30%)
so which is it? I'm feeling disillusioned by these threads. I just had a go at guys for acting self-deprecating and FA about the whole thing, but in truth I am confused. Whether such threads are only 'in your dreams' eye candy or their actual aspirations i.e. they would not settle for less than Lars Angelo or whatever his name was, I do not know anymore? :/
*speaking for all not-so-masculine looking men here I guess
