RE: Anyone identify with being feminine? How about masculine?

This is strictly about me. I don't care how other people view themselves.
I'm 100 % male. I don't think any activities belong to any group in particular. I'm a person. I say I'm fully male because I identify and am one biologically. Naturally I'm going to describe myself as being masculine. Though I seriously don't mind if others choose to describe themselves differently.
I like poetry, romance, stuff like that. Does that make me feminine ? I don't think so. I don't identify that way and I don't think my personality should be described that way as a result, no matter what it amounts to.

to OP
I don't 'feel' masculine or feminine. I just feel like me. I do, however, realize that I have many masculine traits and I understand that most folks probably recognize me as a masculine man. Many of the women I've dated have told me that my masculinity is part of the reason why they were attracted to me so I guess it's a good thing? I don't necessarily see masculinity or femininity as good or bad, though I personally do prefer feminine women. If I take the time to examine myself in certain situations I can certainly be aware of when I'm 'being masculine' or when I'm exhibiting masculine traits. It's not something that escapes my awareness, not really sure how that happens for you, but it's just something I don't normally make an effort to be aware of.
I'm sure I also have some feminine characteristics. It's whatever, I'm just me.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

I don't see myself in terms of masculinity or femininity most of the time. For me, the important identity spectrum is reason and emotion.
I strive for a workable balance in that regard.
I suppose I'm pretty masculine, with some feminine elements scattered through my personality. What's important to me is being comfortable inside my own skin ... which I am, most of the time.

I love being feminine too. It's my state in the middle of the night as I stare at the starry heavens, my soul filling with wonder and joy. 
Hey! I'd make a MUCH better girl than you!
Seriously. Wanna fight about it? Get those fucking fists out!
Oh shit I fucked it up already.
I meant...
You're a sweetheart
Shit that still doesn't work....
You're so sweet, I love you, candies and rainbows and flowers!
Oh shit fuckballs and footballs... I really suck at being feminine when I try.
