How feminine and/or masculine are you?

[Emptyeyes]

I'm not sure if this belongs here, but if so, I'm curious. Which part of the gender behavioral spectrum are you all in, from what percentage scale?

For myself, I would be a little more masculine, more of an androgynous/unisex in apparel, merchandise, and personality. I would say 40% feminine and 60% masculine, so I guess it's more in the middle for me. So, I guess being more neutral, this can also apply to my bisexuality. Also, the emphasis on my mood of certain days, determines how I dress, and who I am daily.

What about you?

This is very difficult to quantify, as there are so many various dimensions to masculinity or femininity. As for me:
Sexuality: I am not attracted to men
Interpersonally: I am somewhat more caring than the stereotypical North American man, but (being an engineer ) I am also a lot more oblivious than my lady friends
Aesthetically: I value beauty more than some other men
Style and presentation: Well, since I value beauty, and I think women are beautiful, I also adopt a fairly feminine presentation because I think it's pretty.
Sport & Entertainment: I would rather go to the dentist than watch football

What'd I miss?

I think about 60% female for me

[oh to be rachel]

There's an online test for gender stuff here that I've found interesting.

https://www.idrlabs.com/gender/test.php

I come out as Masculine 17% (very low) / Feminine 47% (average)
I first took this quiz in 2016 and then again this May. I'm only a point or so more masculine...

[jessicabf]

Fun Rachael,

I took it and got 94% fem. and 44% mas. Not sure now that works since that doesn?t equal 100% *thoughtful*

This reminded me of the COGIATI test, which I did once about 20 years ago, when my SO discovered my cross-dressing and I was unable to answer her questions.

I did this new test, knowing that it could be based on stereotypes, but just for fun.

The result was: 56% Masculine (average) and 83% Feminine (very high)
So, this makes me "slightly feminine", whatever that means...

[Rayleen]

I have feminine taught half the time, my manner are more fem.

Hard to define, I would say 50/50

[Natalie5004]

80% male, 30% female

[sara_also]

Well I would have to admit that I would be 20% female and 80% male. I feel very lucky to have an accepting wife. I can dress whenever life allows.

The hopeless thing is that nobody really agrees about what actually constitutes masculinity or femininity in the first place. Even psychologists and certainly politicians disagree amongst themselves. Judging by how I've been living lately I'd say I'm more feminine than masculine, but people who know me might disagree.

[LilSissyStevie]

I'm about as feminine as Captain Shakespeare (Robert De Niro) in Stardust. "It's alright, Captain. We always knew you were a whoopsie."

[SaraLin]

I was having trouble coming up with an answer to this thread until I read about being competitive in another thread.
I think that probably defines my male/female ratio as well as anything else. I am NOT competitive, aggressive, or strive for dominance or control over others. I am more of a cooperator, helper, supporter.
Does this make me more "feminine?" Maybe. Who knows?

I just know how I feel inside - and see how at odds it is with my expected place in the outside world.

I remember somewhere a while back, I took one of those "male/female brain" tests - and I came out as a bit more female than male, but not by a wide margin. Hmph, stuck in the middle again.

I do believe how you were raised has a certain factor in determining your psychological make up.
For me, I was taught early on there is nothing wrong with accepting your feminine side.
I was coddled, pampered, taught to enjoy less macho things.
That upbringing NEVER leaves you... 80% female most days. *giggle*
The 20% male side I attribute to working in a mans world and having to know simple things all guys know.
Tools, machinery, gadgets, are lacking in my world but I continue to learn everyday. I do my best to be a husband when I have to present male.
Don't like sports, growing a beard, wrenching on cars, drinking beer and burping, getting dirty, smoking cigars, wearing frumpy clothes, or fixing things.
I love shopping for groceries, sundries, and looking nice, feeling clean.
I enjoy being a homemaker, like animals, pastel colors, pop music, candles, fruity wines and have to catch myself to not dot my "i's" with a heart when writing in cursive.
All my clothes are properly folded neatly in sashayed drawers, or hung on hangers where the seams meet, shoes placed in shoe racks.
I may be a bit OCD, in a good way.

I agree. Before I've created this topic, it felt a bit complicated to approach, and the insecurity of how the members here would react to this.

This topic really got me thinking. I don't have a box with a title on it so I'm not sure how to answer. The only male clothing I have left is two suits, on for weddings and one for funerals. ALL my other cloths come from the women's side of the store. I'm a pants girl, no dresses or skirts. No wig and very little makeup. The other day my wife and I were working on our motorhome in preparation of an upcoming trip. She was inside in the AC. I was dressed in womens shorts, panties, bralette and tshirt. Ninety degree humid weather and sweating big time. Doing man chores. Wife comes out to check on me and says why don't I take off my tshirt and bra to be cooler. I say and be top less, no way. I love my girly clothes BUT FOR ME it's the inner unseen feeling and that seems to be with me almost always. Sooo I suppose I'm 99% female and 1% male these days. Thinking just now I suppose maybe half my femine clothes could swing both ways, my lofers, some tennis shoes, pants and tees. I not a women but have that inner connection all the time.

Less feminine than I’d like to be

[Kimberly A.]

Hi, Emptyeyes. Well, I'd say that I'm less than 1% feminine and more than 99% masculine..... However, I've been told that I sometimes act feminine and that was before I ever started crossdressing. Pretty much only when I CD, I can at least TRY to act very feminine, but when I'm in "male mode" which is more than 99% of the time, even though I remove all of my body hair and I have more women's clothes and shoes than men's, I am very masculine.

I mean I have male genes and I have no desire to replace my genetic makeup with female hormones or genes..... I'm happy in my own skin and happy being a man who dresses like a woman.

[Emptyeyes]

Hi, Emptyeyes.

Hello. ^_^

A nice start so far, everyone.

[Judy-Somthing]

I'm 5' 10" and did construction for years.
Put me in a group of women and I stick out like a sore thumb.
The nice thin about my photos is there's no one besides me to compare my size.
Helps me look a little more fem.

[Allieboy]

I am 6’1” an athlete and outwardly am very “male”. I adore everything that is “feminine”particularly the lingerie and cute dresses. When underdressed, I am calmer, more sympathetic and kinder. While I sometimes fantasize about certain activities with a male, they are usually “cute” guys. It is a long spectrum

[Maid_Marion]

80 percent female. 20% male in that the folks at work trust me figuring out how to assemble expensive new furniture. I get to ask for help when something requires strength or muscle to get done. On second thought, maybe that ought to be 90% female.

I have a cat that loves to sit on my lap when I'm wearing a dress or skirt.

[Geena75]

It really depends on the circumstances. If I'm mowing the yard or cutting up a tree limb, pretty much 100% male. Sitting here now in all male clothes viewing the forum, probably 80-90% male. If underdressed, more like 70%. I think that, at best, when fully dressed and made up, I feel maybe 75% feminine.

[Bruce64]

I am neither Male or Female, Human

[mbmeen12]

Well, I'd say that I'm less than 1% feminine and more than 99% masculine

ditto Kim

When I dress 80% female, 20% male and that is only because I still have my bits and pieces.

[Diane426]

75% male while in that mode, but always thinking about women's stuff.
105% female while in that mode and not thinking anything about male stuff. I'm alot Happer in the female role.
