    Gender terms like masculine and feminine are cultural inventions that are often used to refer to ways that people act, interact, or feel about themselves, which are associated with boys/men and girls/women. This refers to how “guy-like” or “chick-like” one is, and has nothing to do with what kind of genitals you have--it has to do with the time period, family, culture and geographical location in which you live.

    I consider concepts such as emotional, intuitive, receptive, related, inclusive, compassionate, introspective, relational, cooperative and nurturing as typical examples of archetypal "feminine" qualities. Again, men and woman share all of these qualities, though, Sterotypically, the volume on these is turned down in men.

    Physical - breasts, hips, waists, long hair.

    Non-Physical - having no problem with reading the map/manual or asking for assistance; not seeing an apology as a loss of face.

    Pregnancy and all the associated activities.

    I concede that these are pretty stereotypical, however my visceral reactions are rarely anything but.

    I have a deep-seated preference for physical sexual dimorphism in human beings. In terms of mate selection, I like smooth skinned ladies with very obvious curves and longish hair.

    I realized that the preferred behavioral traits I was going to list next I could just as easily apply to men, so I omitted them.
