This Masculine Woman Realized How “Crazy” She Looks to Men

The lies of modern feminism strike again.

A young woman on TikTok recently went viral for her video about why men don’t seem interested in marrying her.

She explains how all the men she’s interested in are already married to women who are soft and feminine.

In contrast, the woman making this observation has tattoos, nose piercings, big burly muscles, fake eyelashes, and nearly a pound of makeup.

“I look crazy!” she says, recognizing how her aesthetic is completely different from the women she initially describes.

She also goes on to say that she thought men liked tough girls. She runs her own business, is a fitness influencer, and has always worked hard to be independent and strong.

But apparently, these qualities are not what men want.

How did she get it so wrong?

Yet another lie of modern feminism

Modern feminism has completely missed the mark when it comes to the qualities that make a woman attractive to men.

We’ve been told that a successful career, being strong and independent, and not “needing a man” are the qualities that men seek out in their female counterparts.

There’s nothing wrong with having those qualities if you genuinely want to live your life that way.

But if you think that the average man will find it attractive, that’s where your thought process has gone wrong.

Women today are being encouraged to act more like men.

Put your career first, be loud and assertive, forgo childbearing, and objectify your body in the name of “sexual liberation.”

By all means, women are free to choose this path. But if they’re hoping to be whisked away by Prince Charming at the end of it, they are sorely mistaken.

Men want feminine women

This shouldn’t be controversial, but this reality is hitting young women like a bucket of ice-cold water.

Typically, men prefer kind and agreeable women with natural beauty and feminine charm. Masculinity and femininity are natural complements that draw two people together. (Generally, masculine men are attracted to feminine women, but feminine men may be attracted to masculine women as well).

The irony here is that most women want masculine men, while simultaneously assuming that having masculine qualities of their own will make them more attractive to said men.

Having a “high-paying job,” a substantial amount of sexual experience, and a go-getter attitude isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

At least not in the dating world.

What can women do?

Re-learning what it means to be feminine

In some circles, there has been a return to classical femininity.

Dressing more modestly, being sexually selective, enhancing natural beauty, and embracing marriage and motherhood are some ways that women are choosing against modern feminist culture.

But femininity is not just checking certain boxes. It also involves being comfortable letting others lead, learning how to nurture and care for those around us, and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable.

While independence has been drilled into us as an aspirational concept, it also results in emotional detachment, an inflated ego, and a false sense of self-reliance.

The reality is that being ‘strong and independent’ does not make most women happy.

In the same way that men want to feel needed, women also thrive while being an active part of a community.

Final thoughts

Everyone is free to choose how they live their lives, how they act, what they prioritize, and how they present themselves to others.

However, we don’t get to choose how others perceive us.

The woman on TikTok is free to have tattoos, build her physique, wear nose piercings, and as much makeup as her heart desires. If that’s what makes her feel happy and confident, more power to her.

But — she cannot demand that the men she desires also find her attractive.

If better luck in the dating market is what you desire, a return to classical femininity might not hurt.
