I have been accused of sexism and misogyny multiple times by females on this website. And even though those claims could not be further from the truth, I thought it would be in good taste to vindicate myself by composing a tribute to femininity. That is, a celebration of what it means to be a woman. So in honor of femininity, I have taken the liberty of listing the five things that I love most about women.
#5) They are Cute
It is no secret that women are cute. But what I think most women do not realize is the extent of just how cute they are. Like seriously, women are ridiculously cute. Not only physically with their petite frames and generally smaller, daintier bodies, but even in the way that they behave and in the things that they do.
From painting their nails
...to diligently following the instructions on the back of boxed cake mixes
...yet still managing to mess up half the time
To getting angry
From getting into adorable (and often sexy) little mishaps
To the creative ways they try to solve said mishaps
Women are just inherently cute creatures and that is that. If we view you as oversized children, know that it is not in malice but in love. You are just so cute that your presence evokes a desire to nurture and pamper. It makes us want to take care of you, like a fragile, delicate little flower. Furthermore, the way so many women even in their 20s still sleep with stuffed animal plushies is just so adorable. Girly is cute. To be a woman means to be cute. Femininity is inherently cute, and it is one of the reasons I love women.
#4) They are Sexy
Women are sexy, obviously. The rampant male desire for sex is proof of this. There is just something inherently powerful and glorious about female sexuality that warrants respect. Even among religious circles like myself, the admonition for women to remain celibate until marriage is not rooted in a negative view of female sexuality, but rather a positive one. It is because we recognize how valuable it is, and believe that its true potential can only be actualized within the confines of marriage. Therefore anything less is viewed as degrading. Female sexiness goes beyond just the body and looks, though obviously that is a huge part of it (I mean, have you seen just how sexy the female form is buck naked?). It comes also from personality and the subtle little things women do that are wildly sexy, even if they do not realize it.
From waving their heads sarcastically
...to putting their feet on the dashboard (Yes I have a fetish, so kill me)
From biting their lip
To sleeping with one leg out of the blankets at night
Women are sexy. I'm getting aroused just thinking about this stuff. Women should be proud of their beauty, and for that matter value their sexuality. It is perhaps one of the most precious aspects of their being.
The sexiest woman in the world to me is Marisa Miller
I love her because she is blonde and a Bay Area native like myself. But all woman are inherently sexy in one way or another (yes, even fatties, at least to the men who love them). Sexiness is, well, sexy for lack of a better term. Femininity is inherently sexy. And that is why I love it. I love beautiful women.
#3) They are Selfless
If the two preceding items on my list were 'lower,' then this marks the transition into the 'higher' items. The third thing I love most about women is the fact that they are selfless. That is, they will always put others first even at their own detriment. It is amazing really. Women embody the true nature of Christian love--voluntary, selfless sacrifice--to an extent that puts the rest of us to shame.
This is perhaps rivaled only by men at war, who will often sacrifice their own lives for a fallen comrade.
Yet even so, they compose only a tiny fraction of the male population whereas most females express this sort of love on a daily basis. From taking care of their children
...to slaving away in order to maintain a clean house
...And yet still finding time to make sure that they look good and are "available" for you at night
Women are just extremely selfless creatures. They will always put themselves last and others first, because again they understand the Christian connection between love and self-sacrifice to an extent that most males do not. They are self emptying creatures. The downside to this is that sometimes women can be so selfless that they allow themselves to be abused and/or cheated on, because they still love their husband and cling to the hope that he will change.
This is how many women are lured into prostitution and/or lying in order to cover up the criminal activity of their pimps/drug dealers, because in their mind they are just doing what needs to be done to protect the person they love. Even if the person they love is nothing but a manipulative, vagrant lowlife warranting nothing but a bullet to the forehead.
The fact that women are so selfless and in tune with this love means that we males have to shoulder a great responsibility to ensure that we do not take advantage of them. It is a great privilege and honor to have a woman love you so selflessly. Women do a lot for us, from taking our last name to mothering our children and essentially accepting a voluntary yoke of submission. And I am grateful for that. Whereas most males are losers afraid of commitment, I look forward to marriage and fulfilling my obligations as a husband. After all, it is the least I could do in return for all of the great things that women do for us.
#2) They are Nurturing
Similar to what I said about selflessness, women are very nurturing creatures. That is, they have an innate instinct to take care of others and and help those in need. The ultimate example of this is obviously motherhood. The way women nurture their children is beautiful. The selfless way in which they do it is heartbreaking. I still remember when I snubbed my mother in Jr. High because I was embarrassed of how young she was compared to the other students' parents, yet she was always still there for me even when I did not deserve it. It brings tears to my eyes, even to this day.
From being mothers
...to being nurses
Women are nurturing. Their ability to console the conflicted is invaluable. Whereas most males could care less about the emotional well-being of others, women do care and for that matter are greater at providing comfort than their male counterparts. This is especially true for slightly older women, like those from the age of 26 to 34. Even the most attractive, classiest ones still have a soft spot for crying losers such as myself, and are there to provide comfort. Thus the nurturing instinct of women is one of the greatest glories of femininity, and therefore the second thing I love most about women.
But Most of All,
#1) They are Emotionally Receptive
Congratulations upon arriving at the first and most important item on this list. Yes, the thing I absolutely love the most about women is the fact that they are emotionally receptive to an extent that puts males to shame. There is simply no contest whatsoever. Women are greater at perceiving emotions and particularly sorrow than men are. This is perhaps THE defining characteristic of femininity to me, what it means to truly be a woman. This item stands for itself, warranting no illustrations because no illustration could sufficiently do this point any justice.
Whether it is consoling a man on the verge of a suicide or expressing some little bit of kindness to an addict at rock bottom who needs to feel loved even if by a random stranger, women are capable of understanding emotion and doing what needs to be done. Not just on the empirical level like males where our idea of consolation is providing logical solutions, but on the personal level. Heart to heart. Women are there. They know what to do (or not do) to help. And sometimes just being there in itself is enough to greatly mitigate our pain. This is the most beautiful aspect of femininity, even if it can sometimes be frustrating in light of how overemotional females appear. But I would not trade it for the world. It is essential for our well-being, and perhaps the only reason all men have not just killed themselves yet.
In Conclusion,
Ladies, you are greatly appreciated. Even if we do not always express our gratitude the way we should, know that we love you and are dependent upon you in more ways than you realize. Do not fall into the delusion that you are unwanted or unneeded, because as men we greatly want you and greatly need you. I reiterate, you are appreciated.
The things I have listed are, among countless other things, the reason why we love you so much. It is why men have been willing to fight and die, perform grueling manual labour, and all-around endure the poop end of the stick in things for the sake of your own wellbeing. Because we value you, treasure you for that "incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God" in the words of St. Peter the Apostle (1 Pet 3:4). It is why in the wedding service of the Orthodox Church, men are taught "even if it becomes necessary for you to give your life for her [the wife], yes, and even to endure and undergo suffering of any kind, do not refuse" and to treat their wives with untiring love "even if you see her belittling you, or despising and mocking you," (St. John Chrysostom, "Homily on Marriage").
And while feminism tends to overlook these things for the sake of their cultural Marxist narrative of men as vicious oppressors throughout the ages, the truth of the matter is that men have also made a lot of sacrifices for women throughout the ages. So again, ladies, we love you, and appreciate you.
What Girls & Guys Said
45 22Wow, lol.
I don't even know what to say.
Part of me thinks and hopes that this was a joke.
Oh lord I'm failing as a woman. At least my boyfriend loves me
You sound like my type of guy. We have the same kind of point of view on a lot of things. So I have a question. Can a naturally skinny female who has never once dieted and is in shape but lacks a nice bum with an average/cute face and wide hips still be considered attractive? Most people (guys included) think I am too skinny and have no curves and therefore am a twig.
I think it can be. It sounds kind of cute and petite if you ask me. Though if it really bothers you that much, the gym can help.
I workout a lot. I lift squat, sprint, lunge, kick, and do a bit of up hill runs. But thanks!
I been working out for 7 months now. I have improved a lot both speed amd strength wise. Physique wise... No. Sure my I have filled out a bit but nothing that great really. I simply got more toned. For instance the squats lifted my bum but it didn't enlargen it. I have sculpted my legs, butt, and arms but thats pretty much it. Nothing changed shape. Just simply became more sculpted.
Well I think you sound very pretty and the fact that you make such a great effort to look good is very admirable.
Thank you!! I just feel bad knowing I am not the ideal curvy but slender figure. I been doing lots of reading on and why curvy is attractive and the science behind it and its been making me bummed out
Lol I knew before I even finished reading it that this would create drama :D
#5 A girl making silly mistakes can be cute in theory but in reality it doesn't really play out like in the pinup pictures. An action is only cute or sexy if the girl who is doing the action is cute or sexy. It also depends on her demeanor while she is performing the action. Most girls aren't going to be wearing lingerie while making pancakes and its not like its going to lead to sex afterwards. you're just left with fucked up pancakes and a frustrated girlfriend.
#4 I find it funny you go from talking about how female chastity is so valuable to mentioning that your dream girl is Melissa Miller who is essentially just a glorified stripper probably has a kill count in the double digits. Also considering how promiscuous the average woman is its kinda an unrealistic ideal.
#3 Eh, maybe when it comes to their children but otherwise I don't see them as being anymore selfless than the average man is.
#2 Is hit or miss.
#1 Well on this site women don't generally strike me as being any more emotionally sensitive then the men are. Most of them seem condescending and confrontational. They are only emotionally sensitive to certain issues and certain people.
Basically most of these are generalization or ideals you wish they would live up to but realistically very few if any women actually embody all of these traits to the extent you are describing them.
I'm going to go out on a limb here however and say that the female population of this website--as the population of everywhere on the Internet--is not representative of the female population as a whole. Many of them in fact seem just as antisocial as the male neckbeards. But in "real life" I believe it is more common to meet women like this.
"Most girls aren't going to be wearing lingerie while making pancakes" WHAT? MAXIM AND PLAYBOY HAVE LIED?
@Bluemax Unfortunately 😢
Cute, sexy, selfless and emotionally receptive. Why do people find this offensive again? Lmaoo its a cute mytake. I appreiciate the love my friend ☺️
Thank you. You are very cute and I appreciate that you liked this MyTake. If my effort will have succeeded in making at least one genuine woman happy, then I will know that it was not in vain :)
You're a cringe white knight OP. This is beyond cringe levels.
So true.
This is one of the few circumstances where 'white knight' is actually a useful expression.
Have you seen my previous MyTakes? I'm about as far away from white knight as you can get so the accusation really holds no weight to me.
No OP. This is the epitome of being a white knight. None of your takes are relevant. This trumps everything else. You're going to get stepped on by women a lot in your future if you don't stop acting like this.
This is called benevolent sexism if you don't know what that is look it up.
And I suggest looking up "compliment".
@Redshift This is actually incredibly patronising and far from complimentary.
If you had read it, he was attempting to compliment you. I would recommend just taking it like a man (or to avoid your bias about genders take it like a woman) and realize he did not mean harm. You are the problem. Not him. @aliceinwomderland69
@cooper1dog Just cos he didn't mean to be sexist doesn't mean it wasn't. I don't see how pointing out sexism can be more of a problem than sexism itself. Men are always trying to silence women when we point out these things.
I would have thought the sexism in this article would be obvious but I can go into more detail if it's not; 5) He basically talks about us asif we are dumb bimbos that can't do anything for ourselves. He even refers to us as children. 4) He states that he believes women should remain celibate untill marriage cos female sexuality is so valuable. When in reality this is just an attempt to control female sexual autonomy which is the foundation of all misogynistic thought. Theologically grounded misogyny is still misogyny. 3) Holding women up to a higher standard for morality is another common trend in sexist thought. Why exactly should women be expected to be more selfless than men? Then he gives a bunch of bullshit stereotypes about women staying at home with kids but then looking good for the bedroom. Then he implies women aren't responsible for their actions when they engage in criminal activity.
"Benevolent sexism is a chivalrous attitude toward women that feels favorable but is actually sexist because it casts women as weak creatures in need of men's protection." Lol If this mytake didn't reflect this^^^ then what else did it do?
hhahhahaha exactly what I thought. "Children"? for fuck's sake
@aliceinwonderland69 Haha, this is one of the few things you happen to be right about.
That's called liberal indoctrination veiled in a cultural marxist narrative of "the struggle." Look it up. I only provided compliments. Recognizing what exists is not sexism; it is merely accepting that there is a truth beyond our arbitrary feelings.
@JRichards1996 There is such a thing also as 'the backhanded compliment', look it up ;)
@the_rake No malice was ever intended. In order for an action to be an insult, the motive has to be there.
@JRichards1996 Not for a backhanded compliment :)
Epic Epic Epic!..
I will say it's awesome.. But that is a 100% women like a 100% gentlemen which doesn't actually exist..
But yeah some women cover this points
Ladies don't put your legs on my dashboard or bite your lip.. It send me on verge of loosing control to your beauty
Whoa dude seriously start watching some porn. WTH is this 1950s?
Wow, we are this great? 🙅🏻
And even better ;)
I need to write MYTake 5 things I 😍 About guys
Some1 has a feet fetish
I admitted to it on the second point of the list.
lol ok... my ex boyfriend had that too
:) :) :)
It's a relief to hear that there are guys out there that still love women...
You were doubting that?
@Lynx122 yeah, unfortunately...
Ironically , a very large percentage of men , think women can't stand them & view you ladies as hostile & aloof , what a sad world , malignant social engineering over the years has done this !!
This is a wonderful take, thank you for such an awesome take :) :* :*
Big hugs to you
you left out cooking and cleaning.
=)
Oh he actually mentioned cleaning lol
@Jxpxtxr well goddamn it should be bold and assigned it's own number
But then he would have to name it "the 6 things I love most about women" and hence it would not be such a nice, uneven number! :P
@Jxpxtxr fucking listicles.
@Jxpxtxr since when did six become an uneven number? o. O
Oops, read again :P
@Jxpxtxr i did... can be interpreted either way with all the pronouns you're using.
Uhh not really? Unless you really suck at joining dots but even then it wouldn't make sense 😂
I wouldn't agree about #3.
But good take anyway.
s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...6f067e4b02.jpg
It's a nice take :)
Haha, dude, you're delusional. "Wake up, 37".
Why are people hating on this mytake? It's really good.
Thank you friend. I am glad to see you appreciate it. People are hating on it because some people like to find offense with anything.
