Does /cm/ prefer a more masculine or feminine appearance?


Pic obviously related.

Depends on the person, friend. I myself like good amounts of both. I like pretty boys with who's hair I can play with, and I also like manly men that can punch a horse.

A trap is fine too.

All the way on the masculine side of non-bara Japanese art and all the way on the feminine side of American non-yaoi art.

Like so.

Masculine over feminine for me.

[CUE POINTLESS RANT NOW.]
A large percentage of the typical bishouen types just annoy me for some reason. Maybe it's because their beauty surpasses that of the average woman? Hah, that's not really the reason. Just fooling with you, Anon.
But really. The femeninity of them just bothers me, I think. When I see the usual supreme pretty boy anime character, I want to bash my head into the wall until permenant brain damage kicks in. Or I'll just yawn at how... boring they are.
They all look the same to me. Flaunting their amazing hair, bashing their long lashes, shaking their woman-hips and bums, struting their stuff in such fa~bu~lous meterosexual clothing and make-up.

Confession: Yeah, there are some guys that I like who could be considered "bishie" by some.
Example: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann's Viral.
And yet: Most, if not all, of my friends just think he's creepy. They'd much rather coo over timeskip Simon who, to me, seems more like the cute guy type.

And, okay, yeah. I also adore Leeron. But that, Anons, is a whole different story.

/rant

And there you have it. A rant that most likely made little or no sense to over seven-eighths of the world's population.

Final note: Picture is semi-related.

Masculine all the way. Admittedly I do like a few more bishie characters (Iason Mink, Sephiroth, and Nagi Naoe come to mind), but the vast majority tend toward the more masculine end of the spectrum.

Then of course there's some characters like Fayt and Albel that I think of as being way more masculine in my head than they are in canon.

I don't feel awake enough to post reasoning in language that would make sense.

Most of the time I like my men to be men. In the sense that if they put on a dress, I'd know it was a man just by looking at them.

Now, I can enjoy a trap once in a while, but the hordes of long-haired pretty-boys with enough sparkles around their faces to challenge Armstrong himself is where I draw the line.

Hello anon, thank you for making my own answer for me so that I don't have to! ...I don't mind an in-between every now and again, though. In more of a "why you're so cute I just want to take you home" sort of way.

Depends on my mood. Mostly cute boys and boyish traps like Mako-chan.

I prefer the masculine man any day. Like anon said earlier, babyface bishies seem really too generic and boring most of the time. Like this guy>>1042972
But it still depends on context. I'm not even a huge shoujo fan but I absolutely love the boys in Sugar Sugar Rune.

I like both equally.

I like traps and prettyboys because I am a trap IRL, I like manly men because I like to be fucked by manly men IRL.

I like for my art to imitate my reality, so I like to keep a healthy mix of masculine and feminine.

I lean more toward the manly spectrum (Kamina, Big Boss, Auron, Grimmjow, Ganondorf, those types) but I occasionally surprise myself with my own preferences.

Good example? Luffy. He's not SUPER gar-ish or anything (but he has his moments) but he's not some silly "uke" thing either. Most of the time, he looks like some normal, dorky guy who just so happens to be able to stretch to insane lengths.

I dunno. There's something very appealing to me about normal, sweet, doofy boys.

They must look smart, have hair I can twist my fingers in and be lean, I don't really care about anything else.
Feminine guys seem to meet these requirements more often, though, and to most people "manly" seems to mean "burly", which DO NOT WANT.

Huh. I prefer as characters the more middle-ish guys, maybe with a bit of a lean towards masculine, because I like girls. Because if I want to see femininity I just go look for actual chicks.
>> Anonymous

Almost exclusively masculine. More masculine, the better. I only draw the line once they start looking like old men, and even there I make a few exceptions.
I avoid almost anything too "cute." This is as cute as I'm willing to go.

I like lean and muscular. Not completely over the top, just some nice definition. I don't mind girly-guys, because I do like some ambiguity in my genders but big hueg muscly guys are a turn off.
>> Anonymous

For some reason I have a much harder time finding chicks in illustrations that I find attractive. Mostly because there's a very definitive difference between "guys who look like chicks" and "sparkly shojo eyes kawaii dresses and glitter alskfkljga".

...maybe I'm just looking in all the wrong places. Polite sage.

Middle term.

I like my men masculine and Gar sometimes. I like when they have some manly muscles, but not bara. This is the kind of men I fap to. Kamina is the perfect example.

But I like my men a little skinny too. They don't need to be exclusively young, I mean, a 30 years old hot, smoking teacher or some shit like that.

And I love Traps! I have almost any filthy desires for then. Instead they make my MOEmeter explode. They are exotic and charismatic in their own way.

jhfdbasjdfn traps with girly hips and big butts & shit disturb the fuck out of me

i like the skinny boyish ones occasionally, just not... the overly-pretty/sexualized kind auuughhhh

other than that, my taste ranges anywhere from that so some ~*~manry~*~ men (lol sup kamina). lean muscles are hot as fuck, as long as it doesn't go into nasty steroid-induced bara shit. ):

also, not really into long-haired guys unless they are badou

Thanks, now I don't have to answer.
But Yes, long-haired bishies are boring and I don't think they are even pretty-just plain and clones of eac other's...
Manly, girly, it all works, depending of course of character.

I like both, physically... but I'd rather a masculine man who's more insane than myself, to beat me around as his bitch.

... or a feminine guy I can dominate.

In the end, I'd fucking rather Haseo. While he may be emo at times, his insanity makes me smile.

My brain fights against it but I have to second that comment.
If I had to choose between these two, I'd say masculine, but thank god I don't have to. Those are too extreme. I hate bara, and I don't like shota at all, but something between them is good.

I'm a lesbo, but I can still appreciate me some dudes. That much said, I agree with some others who have said it really depends on the overall character design. I can be all over the board; I think Kyouraku Shunsui (Bleach) is totally gorgeous and I also think Sohma Ayame (Furuba) is totally gorgeous. However more often than not I go for slightly odd looking guys who are thin/lean and semi-feminine. Fringe never hurts either.

In fact if a guy character has fringe I'm 75% more likely to adore him. No joke, I calculated it. Pic very related.

This is going to sound odd I think, but here we go. I like my men to look "appropriate".

By that I mean that their muscle tone, build and face matches their profession, environment or personality.
