When describing the ideal representative of the fair half of humanity, guys often mention such a characteristic as femininity. This quality is glorified by singers and writers, and portrayed by artists and composers.
What does femininity look like? Perhaps it’s all about the right clothes and makeup? Or does a beautiful figure play a special role? Of course, external data plays an important role in the concept of “femininity,” but young people value inner female strength more.
What does it mean to be feminine
The stronger sex puts a lot of features into the concept of “femininity”. Appearance, behavior, attitude towards family and children, sexuality, even love for cooking are included here. The absence of daring makeup and short haircuts, in their opinion, only emphasizes the naturalness and attractiveness of the girls.
Since a man takes the prototype of his mother to choose his companion, then, most likely, he will look for a soft, kind keeper of the family hearth for a long-term relationship.
The fact is that in relationships, gentlemen do not want to compete with their lady, they want to be her support and support. But there are also those who believe that femininity is the inner content, attitude and attitude to life, and appearance is just a tribute to fashion.
When you type “femininity through the eyes of men” into a search engine, pay attention to the photos and pictures.
Men are visual people and love with their eyes, so it will become clear that “feminine” means:
- light;
- smiling;
- tender;
- irresistible;
- defenseless;
- with a sparkle in the eyes;
- well-groomed;
- friendly.
And a thousand more epithets and synonyms, but they have the same essence: femininity is a set of qualities and character traits that makes a woman desirable to a man, evokes a feeling of admiration and the need to be near her.
Today there are thousands of trainings to reveal your femininity, to show yourself only from the best side.
At trainings about femininity through the eyes of men, they often provide videos with interviews where the stronger sex answers the question of what makes a woman irresistible and in demand. After watching such interviews, it will become clear that all men always remain children at heart, wanting a fairy tale in their lives.
And femininity for them is a kind of witchcraft.
Of course, if trainings are not for you, you can figure out on your own how to develop your “femininity”; it will not be a bad idea to visit various sites with discussions. Visit several forums where the issue of femininity is discussed through the eyes of men.
Now the concept of “weaker sex” disappears from conversations and becomes irrelevant.
The ladies have turned into strong, purposeful and independent women who do not need help or tips. It’s not easy to get close to such a person these days. That’s why today girls and women are so in demand, not as Amazons and conquerors, but as gentle domestic birds.
In principle, you can try to combine traits - at work, be an ardent careerist, but forget about this social role, crossing the threshold of your home, or at the end of a work shift. The manifestation of masculine traits can harm a woman in creating a family life. This is always important and must be remembered.
Emphasizing femininity in the eyes of men, a woman becomes irresistible.
What should a feminine girl (woman) be like?
How to look to be feminine
As you know, before starting a conversation with a stranger, we make the first conclusions about him by his appearance and manner of dressing. In general, even by briefly looking at a girl, you can understand whether she is feminine or not. So, what criteria are paramount?
Figure, hair, skin
In general, general grooming is important. A feminine and self-loving girl does not neglect taking care of her hair, skin and figure. This means that you should not have split ends, undyed hair roots or a dirty head. Your hair should shine with health and beauty. If it is difficult for you to maintain long hair in perfect shape, then you need to get a shorter haircut - no matter what the length of your hair, it should look well-groomed.
In terms of your figure, do not allow excess weight to appear - exercise and eat right. Undoubtedly, there are many attractive girls who, according to general criteria, are overweight, but at the same time look beautiful, feminine and impressive - this happens if the proportions are respected. If you just have clearly visible sides and belly, and there is no hint of a full bust and hips, then this is hardly attractive. It is also important to prevent the appearance of cellulite - in particularly advanced cases, it can be noticeable even through clothes!
Of course, pay attention to the condition of the skin not only on the body, but also on the face. If you notice pimples or blackheads, do not try to cover them up with foundation first. The skin needs to be treated so as not to start the process, and then not have even more problems against this background. Definitely go to a dermatologist.
Makeup and clothing style
1)
It is important not to overdo it with makeup and apply it according to the situation - during the day it should be barely noticeable, in the evening more colors are permissible. Choose tones according to your color type. For example, foundation should never be conspicuous or look like a “mask”. Choose it together with a consultant or a good makeup artist. In general, pay attention to makeup courses. Many girls are convinced that they do a great job applying makeup, but often this is just a subjective opinion.
Perhaps you are categorically against makeup, believing that this only spoils your skin. However, even in this case, you should not neglect facial care - buy, at a minimum, a tonic and cream suitable for your skin type. Take time to care for your lips - use balms regularly. Keep an eye on the shape of your eyebrows - you can entrust this task to a specialist, or periodically lightly remove excess hairs yourself.
2)
Don't chase the latest fashion trends. Of course, it is important to have at least a little knowledge of fashion so as not to look ridiculous, but don’t wear something that doesn’t suit you. If you see that tapered trousers categorically do not suit you, then you should not wear them, no matter how fashionable they may be. Give preference to dresses - after trying on many styles, you will probably be able to find the one that suits you perfectly. Well, and, of course, there’s no need to even remind you that dresses, like skirts, are the most feminine item of clothing.
You should also pay attention to shoes and accessories. Choose sophisticated models in calm and delicate colors. Don't forget about good perfume - you shouldn't smell expensive aromas a mile away, but it will be good if people next to you smell a slight scent of some pleasant perfume coming from you.
How real women behave
Openness
Be friendly and open. Of course, this does not mean that you should dump all the information about yourself to the first person you meet, but try to forget about excessive affectation. Talk to people as if you were your good friends - make sure that your tone does not sound arrogant or sullen. After communicating with you, people should have a pleasant impression.
Sincerity and modesty
While being open, it is important to remain humble and tactful. Do not burden your interlocutor with unnecessary information if he does not show particular interest in the chosen topic of conversation. If a person is interested in some question that is known to you, and does not cross all personal boundaries, then try to give him the most sincere answer, without conveying unnecessary mystery. Also, do not try to be the center of attention, drowning out everyone around you with your stories. Sometimes it helps to prove yourself to be a good listener rather than a good storyteller.
Behavior
First of all, your behavior should not be provocative. Femininity is associated with ladies, and if you want to develop this quality in yourself, then you should feel and act like a lady. If you know that you have a loud voice, then watch how you speak - your speech should be calm and confident. Please note that many people are annoyed by loud voices, but their sense of tact does not always allow them to say so. Also, do not speak too quietly or almost in a half whisper, forcing people to listen to you - this may only be appropriate on an intimate date.
Femininity through the eyes of men
This is the most attractive quality from the point of view of men, which is characterized by a certain mystery.
A survey conducted among the male population showed their perception of femininity. Here are the stated characteristics:
- A tender, affectionate mother giving birth and raising children.
- Possessing cuteness and feminine beauty. She has charm and sexuality.
- Love for children, your man.
- Natural , aware of what she really is, and not glossy, artificial.
- Well-mannered , educated, able to present herself beautifully and also dresses beautifully.
- Everything that represents motherhood .
- Turgenev's lady is gentle, sensual, kind, sympathetic, devoid of a touch of cheap and deceptive glamor.
- She does not strive to be stronger than a man and must achieve everything in life herself.
- Avoids haste, fuss, chaos in thoughts , has a creative view of the world and approaches everything creatively.
- The ability to be smiling , cheerful, radiating happiness and contentment.
- This is the totality of all feminine qualities harmoniously interacting with each other.
- The ability to take care of yourself , look good, be attractive. This includes traditional women's clothing and beautiful makeup.
- This is kindness, attractiveness, fragility, charm and in general - God's gift .
- The ability to be a real attractive woman, and with your laughter to make the world brighter.
- This is the ability to help a man straighten his shoulders in order to then cling to his chest.
Rules of conduct for a real lady
Of course, femininity through the eyes of men is not only about special external characteristics. No matter what anyone says, behavior and character are often more important than the ability or inability to dress stylishly and take care of oneself. Take a closer look at the fair sex around you, how do they behave? Some modern women are quite rude, others are vulgar, and others demonstrate outright stupidity at every turn. These are all negative traits. And often such ladies not only do not resemble the heroines of medieval novels, but in principle they only vaguely resemble women. If you want to attract real men, strong and smart, capable of feats for the sake of your chosen one, you should match them. Representatives of the stronger sex value softness, delicacy, calmness and a subtle sense of humor in women. This is what femininity looks like through the eyes of men.
Components of femininity
Today there are four components of femininity:
- Girl
- Mistress
- Mistress
- Queen.
- The image of the Girl reflects naivety, ingenuousness, perception of the world with open eyes, and an open demonstration of emotions.
- The hostess knows how to literally create comfort everywhere in just a few minutes: be it a house or a hotel room. In her mind, this is what the family is based on.
- The Queen keeps up the conversation perfectly, she is admired, and she allows herself to be loved. Such a woman is unapproachable and cold. It’s not easy for a man to be around such a woman.
- The mistress, immediately after closing the door to the bedroom, completely forgets about all morals. It is in the bedroom that she is the queen. The combination of all four states allows you to reveal the full image of femininity.
A game
At their core, women are players. Changing hair color, completely changing your wardrobe in one day, changing your image beyond recognition - every woman is capable of this. She loves fashion, which helps her change her look every season. Despite all this, the woman does not lose her “I”.
What can you get from nature?
According to psychologists, nature itself rewards each representative of the fairer sex with femininity, and each in different ways. Nature gives its own style, the ability to enchant, charm, tools of seduction.
So everyone has innate femininity, the main thing is to be able to appreciate and reveal all this.
Femininity through the eyes of famous men
Femininity is the ability of girls to be as different as possible from men. This is their softness, smoothness, sexuality, subtlety, including the subtlety of the mind. This is what real men are attracted to and can hook.
Vlad Yama, dancer and choreographer
Femininity is, first of all, the desire of the woman herself to be a woman! And this is manifested in everything: in the look, in movements, manners, actions. And this is also a very complex ability of a woman to make a man feel like a man. What a play on words!
Timur Miroshnichenko, commentator, journalist and presenter
Femininity is the resonance of my wife with me. Alena complements me with her attitude, reactions and opinions, balances me, smoothes me out. Externally, this is manifested by the right words, a look, a touch at the right moment. Femininity is the art of inspiring and guiding a man. It seems to me that femininity can be fully revealed only next to a loved one; otherwise, femininity simply turns into a kind of algorithm of empty external patterns of behavior.
Taras Topolya, singer, leader of the group “Antitel”
Femininity is a combination of fidelity, motherhood, imagination, caring and natural sexuality.
Dmitry Stupka, theater and film actor
How to develop femininity: 6 ways
You can develop your feminine side with persistent, regular efforts aimed at cultivating the necessary qualities.
To do this you need:
- Start with appearance. It largely determines behavior. It is worth reviewing your wardrobe, replenishing it with the appropriate things, shoes, and accessories. At first, wearing this may be uncomfortable; you won’t be able to run in heels to catch up with the bus (at an advanced level it works great), over time the awkwardness will go away.
- Pay attention to the body. Change your hairstyle, give your hair a new color or enhance the natural color with a tint balm, make it a habit to regularly do facial treatments, keep your nails in order. Not occasionally, but always.
- Write down character traits, dividing them into feminine and not so feminine, cultivate the former, try not to abuse the latter.
- Show attention to people every day, show care . Call your parents, send a message to a friend, buy bread on the way for an old neighbor who finds it difficult to leave the house in icy conditions, smile at a passerby. There will always be those who will appreciate attention and need help.
- Accept yourself, your appearance, body, personality. Don't like extra pounds? Walk to work, cottage cheese for lunch. Change what you want to change, love the rest as it is.
- Put things in order in your soul, forgive all offenders, let go of long-past events, at least mentally apologize to those who were offended. Various psychotechnics and meditation help with this.
It is worth reading books by intelligent experts on human souls, for example Natalia Tolstoy, Natalia Weichselbaumer and others. They give practical recommendations for improving yourself.
The main rule is to look for yourself , for something that is close in spirit, and not to break your nature over your knees.
Femininity internal and external
Men love with their eyes, so a feminine girl is one who looks good. We are talking about external femininity, which should evoke a certain set of emotions and feelings in men just when they look at a woman.
What do you need to look like to become its personification?
Long hair has been the archetype of femininity since ancient times. It so happens that long-haired beauties are considered more attractive than those who have short haircuts.
Girls' passion for high heels, dresses, translucent blouses, skirts is not a whim or a tribute to fashion, it is a natural craving for everything that can give them sophistication, femininity and tenderness.
A prerequisite for external femininity is grooming and neatness. A well-groomed face, clean hair, neat nails are what add femininity; they should attract the eye and evoke admiration. You can’t call a person feminine who doesn’t take care of herself. From time immemorial, it has been the case that a woman is the personification of purity; she is the one who makes sure that her family lives in cleanliness and order.
Today it is very important to watch your figure.
This is not about beauty standards, but about the fact that a real lady should keep her weight at a normal level, exercise if possible, and monitor her diet. A beautiful figure speaks of a healthy lifestyle.
A slender body combined with a beautiful outfit and well-groomed appearance is the real charm of femininity.
Inner femininity is a more complex concept and almost impossible to explain.
Every man understands which girl is considered feminine, but not everyone can explain it.
A woman with inner femininity encourages a representative of the opposite sex to act, arouses in him the desire to achieve her, act and perform deeds. She has natural charm, sophistication, and the ability to present herself, which simply drives men crazy.
If we try to explain the concept of inner femininity, it includes the following criteria:
- respect for a man;
- the ability to smooth out corners and avoid conflicts (a real lady will not argue to the bitter end, she will simply give in to the man);
- the presence of interesting women's hobbies and activities;
- love for children;
- tenderness towards a loved one;
- gentleness of character.
Many men like women with a strong character, but they love and marry feminine girls who are weaker than themselves.
Attractiveness criteria: experiment
We invited a group of students into the laboratory, where they were photographed and videotaped while they interacted with other people or told something.
We made three assessment groups
The first assessed attractiveness by seeing only the face, the second only the body, and the third paid attention only to clothes. To do this, we processed the photos and videos accordingly - so that each group saw only their “site”. Another group of judges had to rate overall attractiveness
For example, how much they liked this person, would they like to become friends with him, would they like to start dating, etc. This way we could control for different attractiveness criteria
Another group of judges had to rate overall attractiveness. For example, how much they liked this person, would they like to become friends with him, would they like to start dating, etc. This way we could control for different criteria of attractiveness.
We found that dynamic attractiveness (in the video: how a person speaks, expresses emotions, etc.) received higher ratings than static attractiveness (in the photo: face, body, clothes). We came to the conclusion:
The dynamic expression of individuality (manner of speaking, emotionality, gait) is the main component of a person’s charisma and attractiveness. Moreover, this individual style can compensate for the lack of physical beauty.
In other words, there are many people who are not classically beautiful, but who are still attractive to others. We have no control over hereditary beauty, but attractiveness depends not only on it. It consists of both appearance and the unique behavior inherent in a person.

Editor's comment
I completely agree with the author that there is no single standard of attractiveness. No matter how many photoshopped actresses wink at us from glossy covers, a beautiful “picture” alone is not enough to create deep feelings.
There is something touching in the way she holds the mug... Something whimsical in his unruly hair... Something cozy in his love for knitted sweaters... The combination of unique details is what attracts us to a certain person, like a magnet. And the set of these details is different for everyone. For each of us, a love potion would consist of different elements. So feel free to be yourself to the fullest.
Secrets of femininity
The secrets of femininity are hidden in simple truths accessible to everyone. However, the paradox of our life is that everything simple in it is actually very complex. Therefore, it is not enough to simply learn about what adds femininity, about its main secrets, it is also important to penetrate them, grasp their essence and, most importantly, apply them in practice.
So, what gives femininity? What do you need to bring into your life to become the personification of femininity?
Unavailability
A woman is a trophy for a man because he is a warrior by nature. He is used to achieving his goal, conquering fortresses and conquering peaks. Love doesn’t just fall into your hands; you have to fight for it. A modern girl will not pay attention to a young man who makes no effort to be with her.
Inaccessible women have always been valued and considered the most feminine.
Joy
A truly feminine girl is one who radiates joy. The smile never leaves her face, and communicating with her is a real pleasure. This is exactly what men all over the world are looking for. Unfortunately, modern ladies have completely forgotten how to enjoy little things, gifts, surprises and life in general.
Over time, girls acquire more and more masculine character traits, forgetting about some of the joyful carefreeness that should be inherent in them.
Weakness
The struggle between the weaker and stronger sex of the modern world does not stop for a minute. The beautiful half of humanity has forgotten about femininity and the fact that it is weaker than strong. The girl must realize that she has no need to fight with the guy, because she performs a different social role from him. She is a mother, a wife and just a weak creature who needs protection and a strong man's shoulder.
There is nothing wrong with being weaker than a man. This is the charm of femininity.
Effectiveness
External attractiveness and internal charisma make a woman unique and set her apart from the crowd. A beautiful, spectacular lady will always be considered more feminine than one who has forgotten about her appearance, wears clothes of a “male” cut, and does not try to emphasize the advantages of her figure.
Charming and bright beauties will always attract men.
Thrift
If a man considers you as his future wife, he will, of course, pay attention to the presence or absence of such a quality as thriftiness. There is nothing more feminine than the ability to keep a home and raise children. In modern “processing” this means that a feminine girl should be able to run a household - “burn fire” in her hands.
Femininity through the eyes of men is beauty. External and internal. This is the ability to present oneself correctly, the talent to find one’s strength in weakness, to create a new life, to keep warmth in the family, relationships and in the heart.
How to become more feminine with the help of clothes and accessories?
Wear skirts and dresses
According to Vedic knowledge, female energy is concentrated in the area of the reproductive organs, and it accumulates precisely under the hem of the skirt. Therefore, to develop femininity, it is recommended to wear long dresses and skirts. Of course, this can be inconvenient. Therefore, as an option, you can wear it at home. And to work or for a walk, wear styles that are more comfortable for you.
Wear scarves and headscarves
These wardrobe items add tenderness and femininity to any look. The main thing is to choose them wisely, and also learn how to tie them correctly.
Don't forget about heels
Find a comfortable pair of low-heeled shoes that will look graceful on your feet. Plus, this way you will stretch your silhouette and improve your posture. After all, when a woman walks in heels, she unconsciously tries to keep her back straight.
Choose decorations
Add a little sparkle and color to yourself with jewelry. However, it is better not to weigh yourself down with yellow gold. This metal is more suitable for older ladies. Also, do not overload yourself with jewelry, otherwise you will look ridiculous.
Wear perfume
A light trail of pleasant aroma will undoubtedly add perfume notes to you, as well as chords of femininity.
Remember that femininity is an acquired quality that can be strengthened or completely lost. Therefore, you should keep an eye on this aspect. Always remain a woman in everything, fall in love with your inner goddess.

The power of femininity
First of all, in weakness, while modern ladies want to appear strong to the male sex, who are wary and have little trust in emancipated ladies, believing that they need to be a little weaker.
They say that men are slow-moving, so the strength of this quality is the ability to qualitatively improve relationships with males, causing in them a desire to take care of the young lady. Give her gifts, carry her in your arms.
Or, for example, beauty, you can hardly call it a 100% guarantee of popularity among men. Moreover, they themselves are not always able to explain why they are sometimes attracted to less than beautiful women, while real beauties leave them indifferent?
The reason for this attractive force is precisely femininity.
The stronger sex knows that the source of its strength, motivation to achieve success and fulfillment factor is a feminine woman.
