I’m wondering if you can talk about what you like in a femme style/appearance wise. (I know you have a gf and I’m literally not asking to try and flirt lol). It would just be great to have an actual butch’s view because I’m pretty closeted but I really really want to be attractive to butches... and it would be so great to get a real opinion not just “oh be yourself, you’re so valid.” Thanks in advance for your honest perspective 😊
I mean I’m a sucker for a dress and red lips but what it’s really about for me is the magnetic quality of their personalities. I mean it it’s something that is constant across all femmes of different kinds.
It’s the ability to command a room or at least butch and wlw attention. I knew one girl as femme when we had to pick groups in class and I was looking around before she caught my eye and beckoned me over by just cooking her finger towards her. All thoughts id had before hand left my head and I sat right next to her.
At our drag show one time a femme and stud couple approached the ticket table, both dressed to the nines, and while the stud began to pay the femme held out her right hand, with her other resting on her feathered collar. Me and my two friends scrambled to get her a bracelet so she could go inside and I ended up putting it on her wrist. I felt like I’d won. Won what? Who knows. They each smiled a little, spoke to us a little, and walked inside.
It’s their ability to communicate so much in one glance, one gesture, or the slight change in their tone of voice.
I’d imagine this power and profound knowledge of the world, others, and their selves, comes from their experience in centering their lives around women. The confidence their possess radiates outward. Since they do not dress for men or do anything for men, instead for other women, they shed the trappings of femininity that they don’t feel apply to them. This ignites this spark as far as I can tell that allows femmes to hone their assets as they see fit. Nothing else is like a femmes vibe. Shy femmes, outrageous femmes, hard femmes, soft femmes, etc. all possess this power and channel it in different ways.
That fire is what flows through each femme and is released and expressed in different ways.
Leastways that’s all I can tell. I feel like this isn’t the answer you were looking for but it’s my honest one. Other butches please feel free to add. Femmes, you are more than welcome to tell me to check myself and where I’m wrong or probably word what I’m trying to say in a more concise and less rambling way.
Anyway I’m very gay.
