Women considered good-looking that look masculine and men considered good-looking that look feminine?

Can be from any/all eras.

A lot of young male heart throbs that appeal to the teen set are often feminine, I learned that reading Tiger Beat magazine.

I really don't know any women who are sex symbols that look straight-up masculine. Some women with strong masculine jaws Jamie Lee Curtis, Demi Moore or Farrah Fawcett are considered hot but even then they are clearly women and don't look like men. There are a lot male teen idols look very feminine that are adored by young girls. I think young Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt looked like lesbians when young. Same with the currently popular Timothee Chalamet. While Cilian Murphy and Jonathan Rhys Meyers look a bit feminine but clearly men.

Almost all male teen "heart throbs" who appeal to young girls are very feminine looking.

Little girls don't want big, scary, sexually powerful men. They want pretty, feminine, sexually non-threatening boys.

Brooke Shields and Gisele Bundchen are quite masculine-looking.

by Anonymousreply 4November 2, 2022 6:14 AM

Yes, Brooke is tall with a very strong face. She was even paired with men who were shorter and had softer features like in Blue Lagoon and Endless Love. It's more obvious in publicity pics as Brooke is taller than both Chris Atkins and Martin Hewitt.

Do most straight men find Gisele that hot? I really don't ever hear straight men lust over fashion models like her, Cara Delevigne, Kate Moss, The Hadids or Kendal Jenner. Only women and gay men call these women beautiful. Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell, Kathy Ireland and Cindy Crawford are the only ones I know that had a straight male following and it's likely due to swimsuit modeling and they were of an era where supermodels were still conventionally attractive.

R3: I had no idea sexuality was such a traumatizing thing for teenage girls.

by Anonymousreply 7November 2, 2022 9:58 PM

Little girls don't have masculine men yes because they are still developing and want a boy who isn't intimidating and can potentially harm them. Understandable. However plenty of grown women like androgynous/feminine or weak/submissive men and always have. Just like there's men who like masculine and tomboyish and domineering women. A lot of short guys have a fetish for tall women.

Cindy Crawford and Brooke Shields became more masculine with age.

I remember bumping into Brooke clubbing in NYC. She was a big, clunky girl even in the 90s. Huge hands.

Gisele without make up and in broad daylight is what my grandmother would call a handsome woman. Kind of a blank canvas.

Finally, straight men seem to think Chrissy Teigen is hot. I think she's a walking jack-o-lantern with a weight problem.

Ty Power looked beautiful in a way a wemyn looks beautiful. When you're a guy and you see that, you feel hot and bothered, no matter your sexual preferences

R10- I agree. She was on an episode of Law And Order : SVU about 3 years ago- she looked MANNISH on that episode.

Her looks peaked around 1980 when she was appearing in those Calvin Klein commercials.

Your father is a lesbian. These guys just looked like young boys do, particularly blondish one who have pretty and gentle facial features. Their faces were still baby faces and their bodies not fully developed, boyish. Neither of them had feminine energy. Di Caprio, in spite of being skinny and having a pretty face, was a youth with rather masculine energy. So was Pitt, but I don't think Pitt was ever skinny.

And their faces rounded soon and their bodies became buffer and they were both masculine in their mid 20s.

You don't know what feminine means. It doesn't mean underdeveloped boys, but men who are rather effeminate. Bowie, as someone mentioned.

Another daft queen. Little girls like little boys. And they like them pretty. Nothing to do with non being afraid of big, sexually powerful, hairy animal and non threatening bullshit, non toxic masculinity. Cause, pretty teenage straight boys can be toxic to the extreme. Anyone with female siblings, cousins or friends know it.

It is just, like kids' taste in food is not oyster, but candy, capisc?

I have an older female friend who says John Travolta was her first celebrity crush when she was a little girl in the times of Grease. Was he non threatening?

by Anonymousreply 25November 3, 2022 2:20 PM

Mick Jagger was rather androgynous and fey while young. But with a lot of raw, masculine sexual energy. He was a major sex symbol, not for little girls, but was lusted by grown up young young women.

I would never think of him as non threatening, and as much as we know about him, he wasn't, he was an asshole towards women. Not in the sense that he would beat and rape them, but he was insensitive narcissist user. I think that his appeal was being dangerous (while still being sexy and flamboyant), not being safe.

by Anonymousreply 26November 3, 2022 2:37 PM

I don't know what do you call non threatening. What is threatening, the possibility that a man would be sexually aggressive and abusive or cold narcissist heartbreaker?

I don't think that either has so much to do with man's features or size. I know big hairy muscly guys who look uber masculine, but who are very submissive to their wives and I know pretty fragile looking boys that left girls scarred for life.

You stupid frau virgin at R8, girls were looking for danger, not for safety with their androgynous crushes.

Any intelligent parent knew these guys were extremely unsafe.

Straight men are utter cunts to women. Young girls don't like men. They want boys who they think won't hurt them. Yes, plenty of teenage boys are cunts too. That's why young girls go for effeminate looking boys.

How would you know what young girls like these days. You were girl in the times when Clark Gable was sex symbol.

Young girls are not stupid like you, they know that a boy's or man's capacity to hurt doesn't depend on softness of facial features or the clothes he wears.

Probably because I'm more qualified on the subject of what girls like than men, R39. Are you white per chance? White men seem to think they're more qualified on the subject of womanhood and female sexuality than women these days. You're not. Oh, and I was a young girl in the 80s and 90s.

R42 you sound a bit racist to me. What has my pigmentation got to do with this subject.

No offence, but you as lesbian wouldn' t know much about straight girls' taste and desire, too

You might be projecting your mistrust and dislike of men on hetero girls, who like men and are attracted to them.
