I think a big misconception people have with this topic is that they think of masculinity an beauty being mutually exlcusive. Pretty boys that are popular with women all have masculine features. Sharp jawline, good frame, lean body etc.

Facts
I think the main point that this video is missing is that just because on AVERAGE men or women prefer a certain look doesn't mean it applies across the board. Effeminate depictions of masculine beauty have existed for at least thousands of years, dating back to Greek myths depicted feminine heroes/Gods like Narcissus or Apollo as the peak of beauty. You also see it in Christian murals of "beautiful" males who have long flowing hair, smooth faces, and narrow jawlines. This preference isn't just a new generation trend. There's a good chunk of women who genuinely prefer feminine-looking men, just as there are some men who are attracted to petite women and some who prefer voluptuous women. We all fill in different niches, and you'll see all across the board when it comes to human characteristics that there are always "groups" that are outliers from the norm, simply because evolution prefers diversity.

When research is highly contentious like this, I think its safe to say it is not that important(at least in the context of women finding masculine faces attractive). The part about scaring other men is valid and useful though. Overall, it ranks a fair bit lower in importance versus other things like skin health, facial symmetry, and eyes.

Idk but I’ve noticed that women who’s preference are non masculine men almost always happened to be bisexual women. Ofcourse there are bisexual women that are the complete opposite (as in they prefer masculine men/feminine women) but I noticed a BIG chunk of bi women tend to have a preference towards androgynous and feminine men. I wonder if for a lot of those bi women, does their sexuality influence certain preferences on the opposite sex.

So for me it's more of a mixture of some soft features with mostly masculine ones.

Another aspect that is not mentioned is that when society becomes more organized and evolved, the preference for men that are more youthful and feminine increases, but when the country is torn apart by war, the preference is more for masculine men. Edited: my hypothesis, in short,is that you can judge how advanced a civilization is by how pretty, elegant, and intelligent the men are 😅

I think what matters most is not just looking masculine, but actually *being* masculine when selecting a long term mate. I know a lot of men who might have a pretty boy face, but they are very strong mentally and have masculine traits such as a dominance, discipline, being less emotional etc. yet I also know some men who have big muscles, square jawlines, who are very “feminine” such as being more submissive, being more emotional/ freely expressing their feelings etc. My husband doesn’t have a very masculine face, but he has a very masculine personality (protective, providing, tendency to be a leader, more dominant, deep voice etc.) which is why I found myself attracted to him, despite his more “feminine” features, like an obtuse jaw line etc. but don’t get me wrong, my husband is by no means a pretty boy either, so I guess that’s why the studies fail to find an absolute conclusion to this matter
Big replication issues recently with the dual mate / ovulatory shift hypothesis, good genes hypothesis, and the effects of birth control on mate preferences. Gangestad & Dinh (Gangestad is one of the original researchers who came up with the dual mate hypothesis of ovulatory shifts) published a big literature review in June of 2022 on this. Most of the more recent research hasn't been able to replicate the older effects.

Take a moment to appreciate the significance of research. It tries to extract the relationship of one thing to another. The overall attraction is a sum of many factors, but women and men have tendencies when those are equalised or flattned out. That's also the reason they use the terms "preference" or "tend to prefer", which conveys uncertainty, instead of "will choose" Or chooses which are hard set criteria

I think the fact that attractive women tend to go for more masculine men can be a result of them being more prone to living by societal norms. As they are considered attractive by societal standarts, they do not develop strong rejections of the norms and find men who are stereotypically handsome attractive.

A mistake many people make is that they think masculinity and physical attractiveness go hand in hand no matter what which is only true to an extent. A man who has a face that is generally masculine with a strong, square jawline but has slightly softer features like a slender, medium to small-sized nose, slightly bigger eyes and slightly fuller lips (with the emphasis on slightly) is seen as the most attractive to women and a good happy medium. Go too far with the androgynous look and he looks too feminine and weak à la Timothée Chalamet, Paul Mccartney, Michael Jackson. Go too far with the hyper-masculine look and he looks like a scary monster or gorilla and is too intimidating à la Arnold Schwarzenegger, Triple H, Mike Tyson. What women want is basically Michelangelo's David or any sort of ancient Greek/Roman sculpture (outside the impossibly tiny man-part, of course) à la Brad Pitt, Sean O'Pry, David Gandy. Women are biologically more attracted to these types of men because they look masculine enough to be fertile and protective of her but not too masculine so he still looks warm and inviting and would be a good partner and parent to her children that doesn't leave her right away for the next sexy lady.

Attraction stems from a variety of aspects to each individual coresponding with their self interests. It also goes along with their own identities and finding a match for that as well as getting their needs met. And to top it off PERSONALITY goes the furthest. It really boils down to our own self worth and what company we want with that.

I had a video request: most of your videos are about exploring what beauty is. I understand that achieving that ideal beauty is mostly either through genetics and proper habits from childhood or through expensive surgeries. However, attaining those as a teenager in a third world country is practically impossible. Therefore, I would request you to make a video that provides a 'cost-effective' detailed actionable plan and habits for us. A video that talks little about theory and more about what to do to make the most out of my situation. While I know that all of this isn't very effective compared to surgeries and habits from childhood, at least I'll have something to do.
Men don't understand how greatly their appearance matters to us. I'd never even consider dating a guy I wasn't very attracted to.

Personal observations: From 14-20, girls seemed like they prefered tall, skinny(perhaps with abs), blond guys with cuter/a bit feminine faces. I also remember when I was like 15-16 the girls would see any guy over 20 and would be like "he looks old". From early 20s onwards, women switched to preferring tall, muscular men, with masculine faces, dark hair and beards. Sometimes with a tan and tattoos. Also, a lot of them started dating older guys, not 1-3 years older, but usually 5-10 years older. I guess it comes down to the fact that a lot of men can't grow a full beard till their late 20s, and getting a good physique takes ~4-5 years of consistent training and let's be honest here most teenagers don't start working out at 12. Money might also be a factor as well.

lol I guess my attraction to "average" or slightly feminine men (I prefer average to slightly short men, extremely defined jawlines look cartoonish to me, etc) makes me average. So be it. But good looking men rarely have anything to offer besides their looks. So when their looks fade, they become insufferable. Average men are used to working for what they want and it makes them more interesting.
Conclusion: It's complicated.
I’m a little masculine in features so I think I go for whatever I’m “missing” in looks in order to aim for better looking children, which is maybe a slighter build in men..I have pretty wide shoulders so I don’t go for super wide shouldered men etc. I’m not slim and frail so I don’t need a thick burly man..this would make more thick burly, hairy lol children..it’s a matter of balancing the ratio. My family runs short n stocky so I go for tall n slim..but that’s just baseline looks, and society, personality and experiences all affect it too..

@hello33 attraction is instinctive. Instinct exists for biological functionality. I don't want more kids (I already have 3) but my preferences for women still reflect the biological function of sex. I am attracted to women of reproductive age. I can love a woman who has run out of eggs but I can't desire her.
Idky but I find feminine features on men to be much more attractive (to me, the curly long haired guy in the video looks like a work of art) and masculine ones to sometimes be very plain and unremarkable most often(in the case of the masc example used here I don’t find him attractive) yet I usually find myself not imagining potential relationships w guys who I find more beautiful and idk if it’s bc I’m intimidated to be in a relationship w someone I view as equally or more attractive than me, bc of wanting a partner whose strong & I could subconsciously imagine protecting me or if it’s just random lol; but I have seen men who are just as beautiful and very masculine (taller, deep voice, wide shoulders, muscle etc) sooo idk lol

Bruh, it's very easy, you have your own type as a human being, you might be attracted to certain traits (usually people who look like you or who give you a sense of home, so if you had a bad childhood...well you know why they stay with bad boys now.) Anyway, usually loving somebody has nothing to do with their appearance, at least if you really do love them. Edit: also, don't change yourself for someone else, just focus on being a kinder, nicer person, and that's it.

You like feminine guys but want masculine guys? Make it make sense 🤦🏻♂️

I love your video
I think, if it is true that more attractive women prefer more masculine men, that an obvious reason could be largely about ego/insecurity. Like you said, a beautiful woman may feel more confident that a masculine won’t leave her, or at least that she could find another one. I’ve heard many women say things like “I couldn’t be with a man prettier than me” or “I don’t think I would date someone who was significantly more attractive than me.” (I personally can’t relate.) But I think they know that even on a day to day basis, she may feel insecure next to him. But I think a POSSIBLE less obvious reason could be related to familiarity. I thought of this only when you mentioned that attractive women also preferred feminine traits in women. I remember you saying in one video something along the lines of ‘there are beautiful people in every race, and beautiful people are much like their own race.’ Because you were talking about the traits that tend to exist in beautiful people across the board. Could the slimness that exposes an attractive woman’s feminine traits and her good genetics be familiar to her? And could her male relatives also have attractive masculine traits that are familiar to her? And might the opposite be true for less attractive women?

Yes it's typical, ugly women love masculine looking men, in other words ugly men, hot women love hot men in general. The logic is simple, an ugly women will feel insecure being with a hot man, they don't want to be with a guy hotter than themselfs, unless you're very confident in yourself to date hot men. But being alone as a women is impossible, you have to pull apart from soceity to do that. You'll agree with this if I speak womanese. "Men are perverts" nearly any women is hot for men, just as long as she's feminim inside and out, just have long hair, and a skirt, (iconic silhouette of a female) and act feminim and you'll find love. A girl I used to date was deformed, she sort of looked like a man, but she wore makeup, had a wig and wore skirts this completly changed her look, but by doing this it boosted her ego becasue lots of men started to flirt with her, eventually she ended up cheating on me, and I'm like a lameduck still grinding without success.

I'm still more inclined with the notion that testosterone is immunoregulatory rather than immunosuppressive (or having harmful effects) thus the current idea of T ornamentation may be incomplete or flawed. A 2016 study states the immune effects of T for a wide range of immune factors and that "most [older] studies either focus on a few indicators of immunity, are confounded by phenotypic correlation, or are observational." Medical professionals know that a stronger immune response is as bad as a weakened one. Other recent studies about severe covid infections state that men with low T are at very high risk 9f death while a study about stomach inflammation says that testosterone acts to regulate inflammatory response and may have a protective effect on stomach cancers. Inflammation is a risk factor for developing cancers and autoimmune diseases. This is the reason why women are more susceptible to autoimmune diseases and certain cancers. Also, men with lower T tend to have elevated estrogens which also coincide with aging and a slightly higher cancer prevalence in older men than both younger men and women in general. Fyi, estrogens are listed alongside asbestos and nuclear exposure for potent carcinogenicity.

Rudolph Valentino, Ivor Novello etc. had the more model-type look you consider handsome. Young Gregory Peck too - something a tad feminine in his face imo, probably the lips. Though today most film stars of either sex don't look like models any more than then. A lot of those actors were gay and played slightly off-beat or sinister characters. Bogart wasn't really cast in roles for a handsome guy, he usually played characters that were a little bit sleazy or something and he had the face for that (no offence to the legend). But if you think Cary Grant was not handsome, entire opinion invalid
I feel like there’s more important things women are attracted to, most attractive masculine and feminine men have really similar features, Tall, nice jawline, sexy deepset upturn eyes, etc, those things make any guy hotter to any women statistically, him being more soft or sharp is like comparing a sexy women to a cute women they both will attract more men if they have basic attractive features

How do you explain the phenomena of women who look quite average, but still attract men to a high degree. Ive heard it said, "there's something about her. " I mean attraction depends on looks for sure, but sometimes some other mysterious quality has a lot of influence. Any theories on That?
I'd say some factor depends on the value someone places in the aesthetics, not only of the other person but of the couple too, It is undeniable that two similar looking people make a better couple looks-wise than the old myth of the 'pair of opposites' (fat and lean, very malculine and very feminine, very young and very old, beautiful and ugly etc), of all my girl friends the ones who tend to go for more masculine looking men are usually the same ones that say they don't care much about looks, while my more art-leaning, beauty-driven friends tend to like feminine boys and/or women, wich happens to be my preference too, i can't say for sure but there seems to be something going on there, that the more beauty-driven people (perhaps the very feminine beauty canon for both men and women in art influences too) tend to prefer the most graceful, elegant and feminine and hence generating a preference for less masculine men and women, seems to be a common trend for this kind of people, i also read something aboutw women in positions of power or yearning for it going for younger boyish looking men that they percibe as more controllable, tho i don't think in those cases the decision is driven by how pretty the guy is

Like these more ‘effeminate’ looking men may be associated with positive character traits from a woman’s pov like a Harry styles type so it’s possible that some see the opposite of that, traditionally masculine looking men, to be less attractive cos they may harbour views/ possess traits that women see as not aligning with the ‘written by a woman narrative’ not that it’s necessarily the case or that women believe the stereotype to be true all the time, I think that look just fits with the trend so it’s sometimes seen as appealing depending on the context but especially online
