Re: I was watching the Stream
What sort of men?
Most likely … yes
But the vice-versa situation does not count … women don’t count …
Women are also called female - effeminate and do these kinds of things, but if a man did it - then it puts a question mark on his masculinity …
The appropriate opposite of this situation is:
If a woman stuck around with men doing arm wrestles and watching football and dressing like a man then the chances are she will harbour masculine characteristics and be more inclined to desire the sort of women that men desire.
In general we have:
a) The archetype female - with effeminate characteristics and corresponding external looks and female gender
b) The archetype male - with masculine characteristics and corresponding external looks and male gender
Some female genders will have both aspects of the archetype, others will have one and not the other and some female genders will have neither look nor habit of a female archetype.
**Gender Look Habit
****F --------Y------ Y
**F--------- N-------- Y
F ----------Y------- N
F ---------N-------- N
**M -------Y------ Y
**M --------N --------Y
M --------Y-------- N
M --------N------- N
The look of a person is quite important because is establishes in their mind what they “want to be” … the habits of a person can manipulated and are less explanatory to the orientation of a person, except when those habits are sexual in nature.
So coming to the OP’s question … when a woman looks at another woman she does so to size herself against the other like a benchmark or measure of how good she may look - to men in particular.
When a man looks at another woman it is mostly because he wants to see himself as close as possible to her - if on the other hand he does so sizing himself against her then of course there is a problem there.
Conversely men don’t size themselves up against other men … well not the alpha ones - and the alpha ones do indeed do it but in a different way … they often do it by looking more flash, cracking more jokes, showing who is stronger and competing more openly. Since time immemorial men have competed while women watch and women compare themselves to one another while men have no clue what is going on between them.
That is the normality of the situation - but when it goes strange then all rules are broken.
