reader, anonymous, writes (19 October 2008): Good question! Masculinity to me isn't about being muscle-bound and macho. My bf for example is the kind of guy that radiates charisma, people are drawn to him and he treats them kindly and respectfully. He isn't afraid to tell his mates that he loves them (he's comfortable IN his own masculinity)he isn't afraid to tell me how much I mean to him (and he's not a sap.) He will discuss his feelings. Sometimes he'll even leak a few tears during a movie. He doesn't start fist fights, but he sure as hell finishes them. I trust him to look after me emotionally and physically and I know without a doubt that he is my protector. He takes responsibility for his actions and walks his talk.Masculinity is about being Confident, Expressive, Gentle, Responsible, Honest and Considerate towards others. Being macho and keeping your problems locked up inside isn't masculinity as society dictates, it's just being a wimp.Hope that's a good answer :)

I believe that protection (physical, emotional and financial) should go both ways, and I expect it to in all of my relationships. And it does. However, I always enjoy a masculine--semi-beefcake--body!! ;-)

to me masculinity means a guy that isnt afraid to be a man for exsample if they get a girl pregnant they stay with the girl they dont leave it also means that they are capible of taking care of themselves and most of all they know when its important to grow up or stand up for the ones they love especially their lady

To me it means a man that can protect me. That can be with his strength if i here a noise in the house or with his words when someone is mean to me or if I have a bad.
