I'm wondering about women. Are most, if not all, women somehow attracted to other women in some part of their brain?
Let me explain where this is coming from. I've joked about going gay, but I've never been serious. However...
Most heterosexual girls my age that I've talk to all agree that we're attracted to men with feminine features in their face. We're also attracted to what makes them inherently male, but when they have softer features, it's like a magnet for us. Some girls might disagree and say that sharp, masculine angles are what it's all about.
That makes me wonder what influences the choices in attraction we all have. Is it psychological? Societal? Genetic? Oedipal?
I immediately thought it was societal. Women have always been pressured into believing that we are only here to serve men, and since most heterosexual men enjoy watching girls get up on each other, perhaps we've started to seek out feminine-looking men. I don't think this can be proven, but I think it's an interesting study.
But it could also be psychological, couldn't it? If a girl grew up in an abusive home, if she was abused by her father, she will most likely be scared of men who remind her of him. (This is all hypothetical and based on conjecture alone, of course.) So, if her father was more of a man's man, she might seek out a guy who looks more girly because she'd feel safer. This route of thinking could be proven, but it's all based on circumstance, so probably nothing could come of it.
Last is genetic and Oedipal. Everyone knows what an Oedipus complex is, and it's more dominant in men than women, but it still happens. I do gravitate more toward men who are like my father because he's a good man with a good sense of humor and wonderful parenting skills. Who wouldn't look for a guy like that? But I find the personality attractive, so it's not exactly an Oedipus complex. Which brings me to genetics. Myself, I'm a fan of smiles and asses. My mother likes smiles and eyes. My aunt likes asses and eyes. You see what I'm getting at?
Maybe the things we're attracted to are inherited from those we came from.
But now the question remains: why do girls go for feminine men?
My friends, I have no answer for this.
