What is your hormonal composition? Do you lean more masculine or feminine?

UninterestingFork · 2022-12-01T14:09:48+00:00

I'm pretty sure this is not how hormones work.

Having more (or lack) of any hormone brings different medical issues like acne, depression, insomnia, bloating, bleeding out of your cycle, your hair falls, pre-menopause, osteoporosis, etc. It doesn't make you like the color pink.

50/50. I collected worst qualities of both genders like goddamn pokemons. I’m neurotic and disagreeable. Any element of insecurity is enough to take me out, and I noticed that I don’t experience too much compassion, so I present very feminine, and then I’m told I think like a dude once people get to know me. I don’t know what it is.

Attracted to both, as lone as they are not too feminine or too masculine. If they are too agreeable I can’t respect them, if they are too authoritative, I can’t respect them.

So what is YOUR hormonal composition?

I don't recall the exact numbers, but I do know my doctor said I have high testosterone, fairly normal estrogen, and strangely no spike in prostaglandin production while menstruating, which is probably why I have never experienced cramps/period pain.

Do you lean more feminine or masculine?

Masculine according to modern US society.

And do you crave masculinity or femininity in a partner, to what extent?

I like feminine leaning men because of better compatibility. I'd say 75% feminine/25% masculine is the sweet spot.

My pronouns are this/that.

Impossible_You_8555 · 2022-12-01T15:06:20+00:00

I'm a traditional guy, when I was younger I got into fights have a strong protective instict, always need to be the leader.

I like strong women in general I hate weak people. I see it as a waste of a life. I don't see that as masculine I've found most tomboy girls one you get close to be very sweet. All women when they like you become vulnerable and sensitive in ways a man isn't. Often women who are outwardly feminine are on the inside cold.

I also don't really know what to talk to feminine women about, they usually don't have entertaining conversation, don't find my jokes funny.

BigZaddyZ3 · 2022-12-01T16:14:40+00:00

I have confirmed high testosterone levels. And as expected, I’m highly masculine.

As far your theory goes, I agree. After reading about this type of stuff for a while now, I think the majority of our behavior in general is probably has biological origins. (Especially gendered behavior)

I have pretty high testosterone (PCOS) and consider myself quite feminine, but also have a bad temper and high sex drive. I'm definitely attracted to men who are dominant but not like overly masculine (big muscle gym bros). Am not attracted to sensitive, feminine guys at all - I want the man to be in charge

Fancy-Respect8729 · 2022-12-01T13:41:14+00:00

healthy levels of testosterone. Balance of masculine and feminine traits. Lean Masculine. Partner: don't mind. Take on individual basis.

h1shman · 2022-12-01T14:18:42+00:00

Estradiol was around 30. Total Testosterone was around 950. Can’t remember shbg or free test. I’m on low carb high protein so this optimizes male hormone production.

Hormones aren’t only one part though. Your bodies sensitivity to these hormones and the amount of enzymes present to convert these to other compounds (especially in the brain tissues) is going to determine your behavior much more. There is a reason some guys can take a small amount of steroids and get insanely big while others don’t. It’s not always just about the hormones circulating in the blood.

ohdiddly · 2022-12-01T14:26:43+00:00

I mean I look as feminine as they get and enjoy looking physically feminine

but my personality and interests are definitely what people would consider to be more on the masculine side ie. dominant, assertive, confident, direct etc.

I'm very sexually assertive too, so I'm the one to pursue people that I'm interested in rather than waiting for the guy to make a move. And my #1 hobby is gaming which people automatically think is a dude thing.

According to my blood tests I have normal estrogen levels and a bit higher testosterone than average

Apprehensive_Cut_146 · 2022-12-01T14:46:44+00:00

20%-40% masculine behaviour according to husband.

Mostly feminine with part masculine I’d say

Upstairs-Rip-604 · 2022-12-01T14:47:38+00:00

I don’t know my hormonal composition since I haven’t had it tested.

I love hanging out with family, fishing, crabbing, clamming, prawning, foraging for mushrooms and berries, gardening, swimming, snorkelling, practicing mathematics and physics (my field of study), doing art (polymer clay charms, manga, writing songs, and sewing), playing Nintendo video games, playing basketball and badminton, trampolining, watching movies and TV, reading fictional novels, collecting coins and stickers, studying mycology, and more.

Ohmaygahh · 2022-12-01T15:40:02+00:00

I have no idea what my moms hormones were like while in utero. She always maintained that her different children brought on different food cravings (with me, she ate a ton of seafood and tomatoes).

I have had my testosterone checked out of sheer curiosity because being male and older and was amused I was 900 ng/dL which I'm told is on the higher level of "normal" but for a near 50 year old man, I thought it was pretty high.

I have never taken any performance enhancements drugs in my entire life.

AstronautLoveShack · 2022-12-01T16:09:20+00:00

I have boobs and I prefer dresses and skirts to pants (not to be feminine but for comfort). However my interests and past times are akin to a nerdy 11-year old boy, the kind that doesn't participate in sports but hangs out in the woods collecting rocks and beetles and likes Star Wars and Monty Python.

Siukslinis_acc · 2022-12-01T16:15:05+00:00

Never tested my hormonal levels, but I'm a tomboy. But I think having an older brother (whose outgrown clothes made up 90% of my wardrobe) had a bigger influence.

TheRedPillRipper · 2022-12-01T21:33:29+00:00

lean more feminine or masculine

I have high T, so lean as such. That said I try hard to work on my empathetic side. To which my wife has been a godsend.

Godspeed and good luck!

Square-Pie9671 · 2022-12-02T00:34:14+00:00

Like you already said, the hormone ratio in the womb determines your gender psychology. Thats where all the gender dysphoria and homosexuality comes from. The hornone levels after puberty do not change that. its already haars wired, just like you dont loose a beard or gain back hair once you stop having any testosterone. people with messed up gender psychology dont have messed up hormones, they had messed up hormones in the womb.

Flightlessbirbz · 2022-12-02T01:09:35+00:00

I don’t think this is quite how hormones work. I’m sure hormones and general differences in the brain make a difference, but a lot of how “masculine” or “feminine” someone is comes from how we’re raised, especially whether we’re closer to mom or dad. We tend to emulate the behaviors of the parent we were closer to, or the only parent we grew up with. I was closer to mom and tend toward the more feminine side (I’m a woman), but she’s not a super stereotypically feminine person, and I’m not either. I’d say about 75% feminine, 25% masculine (or more like “boyish,” my masculine side tends to manifest in behaviors like fart jokes and guzzling beer).

JoeRMD77 · 2022-12-02T08:00:58+00:00

From what I've read, it was described to me as being male-brained and female brained. I remember there being a silhouette of a man and you're supposed to decide if the silhouette is running towards you or away, to determine if your male brains or female brain.

I actually believe that because it would explain why we have so many outliers on both sides of each gender that act like the other side. Me for instance I feel like I'm a woman who doesn't mind waiting around Long times between finding someone who's good for me, like I don't have this need to run out and find someone just so I don't have to be lonely - whereas it seems like 70% of my fellow peers can't go without a woman. And in contrast I've known women with sexual drives like men who have no issue being just as promiscuous as Chad even though they're average to below-average women.

But in general, I feel like there's a big roll reversal going on sometimes. At 40, I'm still doing the same crappy jobs I've always done but the women that I meet now are all making at least 50k or more working some office job where I have no idea what they're doing- I would love to have an office job where I just go in and Mill around and nod to some asshole boss - must be nice.

I'm also not a man's man in a sense that if we get a flat tire on the side of the road, we're calling AAA - I'm not getting my hands dirty with cars and I would be the last person you would want to ask to work on your car. I'm also not handy around the house at all, I just am not mechanically inclined like my brother is. So yeah, I would be pretty useless in a lot of the old-fashioned senses but God can I philosophize and make for an engaging date. But yeah, manual labor is beyond me and I'm actually a pretty rugged guy. It's just not something I want to be identified for, I'd rather be identified for not knowing any of that stuff and just being known for looking kind of cute to be honest. I don't want to be your Tim the toolman Taylor and I've even read that some women try to make those guys into house husbands but guys who are stay at home dads are actually more ideal for raising kids- it turns out you want someone who's good with kids in your house versus someone who's good at banging Nails in the walls and unscrewing screws.

But yeah, nothing sounds manly about my post because I don't feel like most of the rest of the other men out there. And I don't really care if it comes off feminine or anything either because I'm pretty proud of being you're not so typical man- if anything I want to be known as the opposite of whatever people think a man is today, because I'm not even sure what you guys think a man is anymore. A man is basically a dude who does what he wants and has no shame about it- that's what we're really starting to learn a man is if you ask me and that's me. Who needs college, who needs a really good job when you can just play on the internet all day and talk to strangers and trick them into doing things.

lle-ell · 2022-12-02T09:34:43+00:00

I (woman) have a fairly masculine personality and prefer more feminine men (and women more masculine than myself).
