Anyone identify with being feminine? How about masculine?

[Whateverist]

Yeah, I'd say feeling/being feminine is integral to me.

As for what it's like? I dunno, lol. I like it though. It's hard to explain it. It's like, I like feeling pretty and feeling like I want someone to protect me and take care of me. Which is weird because at the same time, I kinda wear the pants in mine and my husband's relationship lol. Nonetheless, that's what it feels like to me to feel feminine. Though I'm sure it's different for each woman.

Thanks for chiming in.  You know, I have a hard time imagining what that (my bolded) would be like.  

Perhaps paying attention to who I'm attracted to is part of the masculine deal?  I notice women's bodies a lot.  I'm a notorious bottom watcher.  But also the way they move.  I mean, I don't go out with the intention of looking but I just can't help noticing, it's automatic.

It's hard to relate to checking if I'm being noticed or how I'm being received, I don't think of myself that way.  Of course when I was single it was different.  I'd try to wear things I thought would be noticed.  But I don't think I ever thought the way I looked would be what helped me hook up.  I always expected conversation would be the thing to make the connection, or maybe a dance.
