I was wishing that i was more feminine then i am. I was wounding do many GLBT people wish they were more or less feminine? Does it really matter to you? I just have been thinking about this for the last few weeks and was curious about others opinions. Do you personal wish you were more or less feminine?

I don't tend to worry about how effeminate or masculine I appear. I pride myself on certain of my stereotypical effete characteristics, and I pride myself on certain of my stereotypically masculine characteristics.

Personally, I am (fairly) masculine, I like being masculine.

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.

I'm pretty happy with who I am, kind of just an average guy, so I would personally say no in answer to your question.
I don't think there is anything wrong with you wanting to explore a more feminine side of yourself. How are you thinking of being more feminine?

This might be totally not what you are interested in but maybe read up a little on yin-yang? I tend to apply the ebb and flow to balance of my internal self. I see yin-yang as not so much masculine/feminine but hard/soft or solid/yielding. So, that more hard, determined and aggressive self is just as vital to me as my soft, yielding and calmer side. It's important for me to be able to pull that softer side forward at times.

Is there a difference between being feminine and being effeminate? How can you tell which one is which?
When I translate these two words into my motherese language, it means differently. Effeminate is a negative connotation while feminine is simply about how soft a person is.
I have seen feminine men in real life, even more so than I am, but they are not annoying or flamboyant. I can't tell if they are straight or gay, but they are definitely not effeminate.
But that is my understanding in my first language. I don't know if these two words mean the same in English.
