Do you think of masculinity as bad: immoral, distasteful, inferior – whatever?
Or as one of the qualities with which you attract women. An attribute that is a proper complement for her femininity?
Or is it just simply something normal and conventional but of no great import.
Manliness: shameful, wonderful, unimportant?

It’s nice enough to have a softer sort of man.. but give me a butch booy any day of the week.
It’s fun to break him like a bronco.
I grew up as a rather quiet and gentle boy albeit one with the typical male interests of war and engines but was never into sport. I guess I was a little more balanced than my peers.
I don’t see mascualinity as anything bad, I have known women (not dommes that I knew of) that have been turned off by masculainity whether it just be that they didn’t like hairy bodies or deep powerful voices etc. In fact I always thought these two women were more intimidated by masculine men then turned off by them.
My masculinity is my submissiveness in a sexual sense to Womyn.I am proud to be submissive and do not think being so means that I am Feminine.
I started life as a nerd. This had its good points. I was spared the ordeal of beating my chest and bellowing to become the alpha-male.
I learned self-reliance and confidence in myself. I did not need the approval of others. Although confidence should be gender-neutral (I find it a very sexy trait in women), it does a lot to enhance a masculine image.
I’ve often said that the most macho thing I do is pee standing up and I don’t even manage that in the middle of the night.
And yet … a couple of years ago I tore a ligament in my elbow that required surgery. My right arm was immobilized for a period of three weeks. I could not shave (actually I was willing to risk it left handed, but used the temporary disability as an excuse). So I wound up growing a full beard.
I got numerous comments on the beard, mostly from women, and all positive. Mrs. Mule really likes it.
I think the cut-and-dry notions of masculinity and femininity are fading some. And I see that as a good thing. We no longer have to be caricatures.
I see masculinity as something that lots of women are attracted to, but it’s not something I try to boost in order to make myself more attractive. It’s not that big an issue to me.
