Well I think that's interesting in itself!

To me, there is a kind of brute-force strength particular to women...I don't think women are "acting like men" when we express this. In a macrobiotic cookbook I have, the author talks about a philosophy in which men's external strength is matched by women's internal strength. Like yin and yang, but I can't remember the details.

Anyway, I know a lot of women are the "rock" in their relationships. A lot of women who seem submissive are actually controlling much more than meets the eye.

So that's a little complex.

Still I think that there a lot of personality adjectives generally regarded as feminine, i.e. sweet, supportive, agreeable, demure. And for men: protective, competent, decisive. Both sets of adjectives are unisex but that's the best I can think of right now.

Much easier to talk about physique, where brawn is manly, boobs and hips are womanly, and there you go.

Sounds like YTA! Who uses Clinique face soap and probably gets pedicures.

I had no idea roses were manly in other cultures, that is pretty cool! (Unless it's one of those cultures where women are less important than camels and don't deserve roses? Then it's not cool...but I'm stating the obvious.)

Yeah my hubby isn't using MY hand lotion either, he actually bought his own stuff and said, "Laugh all you want, this stuff smells great!"

If that's Taurus, it's fabulous.

Hi Laura!

Well he looks both Jesus-y and masculine to me...Jesus was a He with a capital H after all.

I'm no good at seeing ascendants but to me he's got a strong earthy look.

Yeah...I embody none of the feminine adjectives, except perhaps supportive. I can be agreeable, but sometimes that's more laziness than anything else
The other day my husband tried to startle me in the garage. He pointed out that when he jumped out I squared off and started forward rather than away or back.

And, well, hm - if we narrow what we like down to physiological parameters...I guess I like manly in the middle.
My husband's not huge, but is bigger than I am. He does have very broad shoulders against which I enjoy cuddling and nuzzling ^_^
Yeah, there we go - I appreciate the "bigness" (in relation to me) of him.
His hands are larger and more rugged than mine, his chest is easily half again or more larger than mine. I even love his big, increasingly wild eyebrows.
Everything about him's a notch or two more coarse than me, and that's nice.

Eyelashes are universally appealing.

We all know you are the "I'll kick your *ass in a heartbeat" kind of guy, but you also do the dishes and shop with your wife so...I wouldn't have been surprised if you got pedicures.

Plus, you are Pisces rising, and Pisces rules the feet. So maybe you'd be happier if you got them. Free advice.

OMG you remind me so much of my best friend. I mentioned before that she is a Pisces sun, Aqua moon like you...and that's exactly what she would do, too.

Once she got held up at gunpoint in a parking lot by a few kids in ski masks who wanted to take her car. You know what she did? She started telling them off, and said, "I'm going into this mall anyway, and NO you can't have my car!"

One of the guys shot the gun into the ground to prove he was serious, and he said the next bullet was for her.

She just kept telling him off while walking into the mall, where she contacted security immediately, and they got the guys. She was in a lot of newspapers.

I enjoy being dominant and submissive.

I like a man who can man handle.

I like being choked.

I love wrestling with my guy.

I love tieing him up, cuffing him, and blind folding him.

I like wearing lingere and stuff and wish I had more money to spend on that stuff.

but yes I like a guy that can provide. And that gives me security and stability.

If I'm high I like being flogged.

I can really only be dominant if the guy respects me. So for the fist time I have been exploring that side.

He is protective of me. he sleeps with a knife close by, cause if someone break in he wants to be able to defend me and him self. He is not at all materialistic. He hate seeing trucks that are shiney and have feminine stickers on them he is like "that is not a truck" He like driving dirty beat up trucks. He is the outdoors type too.

He will man handle me and stuff. Almost wont let me leave when I have to go to work. Holds on tight to me when we sleep together at night.

But when it gets right down to it...I am the more dominant one when it comes to sex.

GOD I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM. A few more days!

Have no idea how to rate that as a number right now.

My wife has been bugging me to join her in a hot stones massage at the day spa. That'll include the face mask, the manicure and pedicure. I guess there's no harm in trying. Just as long as they don't paint my nails!!

Yes, I shop with or without my wife. When I get feminine products at the pharmacy, the whole aisle clears out. Yes, I buy her make up at the department store and I know her shades of makeup, nail color, mascara, eye shadow, etc. That's when I pick up my own Chanel and Clinque.

On the other hand, I come home and find my wife on the roof of the house clearing leaves from the gutter or scrapping ice/snow from the roof. Or once I came home to a demolished wall.
