I know it's a broad statement but from YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE do they tend to go one way or the way, or is it pretty much the same as for all males in general?

I'm talking less mentally macho - not necessary outwardly 'metrosexual', maybe more nurturing, less dominating etc.

I am not attracted to "effeminate" men so I don't know personally from that perspective, but I have a friend with one such man and their a good match because he is less dominating and takes on traditional female duties. She is the primary bread winner and is chasing her career hard.

First, I had to Google "effeminate" I won't lie!LMAO........ Second, the ones I have seen tend to go for the stronger women. That is at least from my customers I have been taking care of for years. We are talking Mr. Rogers type guys here and you know they are not gay, they just don't have any balls. I will say some of them are very nice guys though and I still like them.

I have never been attracted to effeminate men. I know it's wrong to generalize but I automatically think "punkish" and total push-over. I am very strong-minded, strong-willed and need a man to be able to handle that....not tuck his tail between his legs and say "whatever you say dear".

I think you'd have to ask this in a forum with a higher population of effeminate men.

I am not attracted to them, so I would have no idea.

I wouldn't necessarily consider these characteristics "effeminate".

I cannot say.
I do not know any effeminate men personally.
My pals would probably run them off busting their non existent balls.

Definition of an effeminate guy:

Likes TV
Likes Sports
Is clueless
Very shy to even hold hands with a female, thinks the habit is a bizarre one
