Well, it depends on what culture you live in. It's completely socially constructed so I can't give a clear definition of it. For some, they may not even identity with either gender. I approach it from the view of America mainstream. Boys are taught to be tough, hide their emotions, be competitive, etc. Girls are taught to be considerate, show their emotions, etc. All this changes over time and from place to place. Is is rather subjective and not very clear cut so it is impossible to answer.What's the definition of masculine and feminine? What would one consider 100% masculine and what 100% feminine?

I don't know enough about femininity to say what the other end of the spectrum is. Somebody else will have to cover for me.

I think gays and lesbians are in the middle, as you need both masculine and femininity in a relationship .

It's amazing how you can just completely disregard the whole point of those scales and revert back to stereotypes.Poshed (?) women?100% Masculine = a lumberjack spitting out of the monster truck he's driving in between having sex with multiple supermodel-type women and taking massive bites out of his steak sandwich.

So you're saying that everyone that's in a relationship, is either gay or lesbian? I don't think there's anyone that's 100% masculine, and someone who's 100% feminine...I think gays and lesbians are in the middle, as you need both masculine and femininity in a relationship .

And you can't have "macho" gays or butch lesbians? Are you still missing the point completely?No, I am trying to say that gays and lesbian are more to the middle while the real machos are more to the right .

That's easy
Blue <-> Pink
Hardly the appropriate response. There are plenty of blues which you can consider to be "feminine".
And are you aware that in the early 20th century that "Pink" went to boys and "Blue" went to girls?

Speaking of which, I forgot to specify that he should also be blasting out some speed metal. There is no music manlier than that which requires you to injure yourself in order to fully appreciate it.

Masculine implies Strong, handsome features. A strong chiselled jaw line, rugged, larger than average muscles, stubble etc
Feminine implies softer features, more rounded, smoother curves...a sense of gentleness.
You can get men who are attractive but are more feminine in appearance. A lot of girls find it very attractive. It all depends on individual differences, whether someone prefers a more rugged type of a man, or someone who is more feminine in appearance.
You don't have to be a promiscuous thug who regularly fights people for no reason to be masculine.
In gay partnerships, exactly the same goes for men. Some men like to feel more feminine like how a girl would in a heterosexual relationship and go for more rugged type men. I have met men who are very masculine in appearance...big, strong, handsome etc and would have never have guessed they were homosexual. I only found out when I was told.
People just "assume" that gay people are overtly in-your-face feminine and camp. "Oh my gawd darling, those shoes are totally to die for" is usually what you see on TV, and isn't stereotypical of gay people. Although some do like to be camp. It's more of an attention thing.
