Anyone identify with being feminine? How about masculine?

RE: Anyone identify with being feminine? How about masculine?
I feel very masculine when I am giving my Mrs a right good seeing to, but not so much when she makes me do the housework.

I have a hard time not noticing the gaze.  I find it extremely stressful to be stared at; always have.

Sound and scent seem to be more alluring than visual.  Certain visual cues I do find attractive (for instance, a man with long hair and high cheekbones).

No, I don't think I've ever even tried becoming a lure.  I have dressed up in the past, but more for "stage presence" for specific events rather than to attract someone.  I have fond memories of one particular off-the-shoulder red dress I used to have, but other than that I have a lackadaisical attitude towards things like shoes and makeup.

Has anyone else ever made it a habit to look at people?  I mean, really watch them.  All of them, all of the time?  It's strange. You notice that people mostly don't look at other people, and hate to be caught looking.   They even hate to be caught looking to see whether or not you're looking.

I tend to look at women more when I've had a drink, it always improves their appearance.

RE: Anyone identify with being feminine? How about masculine?
I identify myself as someone who has a mix of masculine and feminine traits. As I've said before on here, my sense of my gender identity actually floats back and forth between more masculine/male periods and more feminine/female periods. I wouldn't necessarily claim "trans" since I have no intention of transitioning into a woman full-time. I'm very comfortable with my body how it is, I have no problem with my genitals, I like how my face looks, I love my facial hair etc. I could see myself potentially adopting a more androgynous fashion sense to match this, but I'd want to really work on it to look good doing it, and build up the confidence.

That might be really confusing to a lot of people who don't necessarily "feel" gender, but that's my lived experience. It's something that's always been there for me too, even when I was a child I'd have feminine "moments" but never feel uncomfortable being seen as a boy.

You tell me. I've heard comments over the years. 

I have always had more female friends than male friends. 

Constant macho bullshit from guys I find irritating.

I played the least manly of sports: tennis, golf, swimming. 

I do 90% of the cooking and grocery shopping.

I don't participate in any male gatherings, i.e. cards, to watch games, guys night out stuff.

I don't handle confrontation well.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

I agree

Nothing wrong with masculinity if it's natural. I just hate when guys have this really contrived forced masculinity where it's like they're putting on a show for their friends.

More like putting on a show for themselves, to themselves. Makes me wonder about their underlying motives and potential insecurities.
