Only reason I ask is that it's not uncommon on here to see men on here (primarily red pill men) to say their 'ideal woman' would be someone who 'acts feminine', specifically mentioning submissiveness as something they want/hope for in a woman.

But beyond that, I don't often see men describe being aroused by particular behaviours on women. Interestingly some of the female posters on here have described being aroused when men exhibit 'masculine-coded' behaviours like confidence, decisiveness, competence, dominance etc. And I definitely recall a few on here finding it hot when men do things like DIY or changing a tyre or heavy work in the garden.

I don't know if there is an equivalent of this for men? Are men turned on by women... cooking a meal or doing housework? Or women exhibiting 'nurturing/caring' behaviours (Not that these things are feminine, they are basic life skills but are associated with traditional femininity)?

Speaking purely for myself, there are some aspects of femininity that I do like. I really like some types of feminine body language. The sheer elegance of a confident woman sitting cross-legged like a queen surveying her kingdom. Or the ladylike strut of a powerful woman (which is entirely distinct from a masculine swagger/power walk). Even if she's wearing baggy, unflattering clothes, that kind of walk just projects pure power and dominance. My GF has this in spades. I wouldn't say it's a turn on in itself, but I do really like seeing my GF doing her makeup and or trying on dresses, shoes etc, especially when she twirls in a new dress, which I suppose is 'feminine' but it's less about her physicality in the outfit but more seeing her put the look together, the competence and attention-to-detail that goes into constructing a stylish outfit. And I LOVE it when she dances. Not in a sexualised manner (which isn't really her thing anyway), but seeing her (and she's usually a quite serious/stern person) sing along and dance to a pop song (either by herself, with me, or with a group of her friends) is just stunningly beautiful because of how fun and carefree it is, and I think it's very feminine.

Personally when a woman is very nurturing and caring (towards me or others around her) it actively prevents any kind of attraction. Even if the woman in question is very physically attractive it's like there's a mental block making me perceive her as a maternal figure rather than a sexual one. And I definitely don't get turned on seeing my GF doing basic life tasks like cooking and cleaning (I do most of the former anyway).

With regards to submissiveness, definitely NOT something I'm into. Maybe because I prefer powerful dominant women but I can't imagine what being turned on by submissive women is actually like. I always imagined the arousal was more about the act of being the dominant rather than the woman being submissive, but it's not something I have any knowledge or understanding of so happy to be corrected!

Opinions?
