In Honor of Femininity: The 5 Things I Love Most About Women

In Honor of Femininity: The 5 Things I Love Most About Women

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.

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

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

...And yet still finding time to make sure that they look good and are "available" for you at night

In Honor of Femininity: The 5 Things I Love Most About Women

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

In Honor of Femininity: The 5 Things I Love Most About Women

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.

  • So being dumb and needing help from men when it comes to anything makes us "cute". And "children"? lol hit a new low. Oh, and never forget trying to define and uphold our sexuality as if we were pure creatures. I'll just sit here watching as some call me a feminazi, should be fun.

    • I agree with you 100%.

    • Yeah I thought men didn't like it when women act ditzy? Lol

    • @Shorty1991 idiots do!

    • Show All
  • Nice take.
    I must admit I do bite my lip some and blush usually when I do that. And then I also sleep with one leg out.
    I basically do everything you listed lol. ☺️
    I'm glad that you find us sexy

  • This has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

    • Then take it or leave it. I offered a grand compliment to women from the heart. You don't have to like it. But you cannot say that I did not try.

    • I never said you didn't try, I said it was stupid.

  • The five things you love most about a few very specific women, then? This doesn't support your claim that you being sexist "could not be further from the truth" at all.

  • And I think they were right, lmao.

  • They are selfless... okay this is total bullshit. There are no completely selfless persons in this world, not even soldiers (who often join the army for glory...)

    There are compassionate persons, and they can be women or men, it has nothing to do with gender.

    See, @Fearless_banana , this is ACTUAL white knight BS.

    • LOL. my god bro. Shoot me now

  • I'm nothing like that at all. I'm not cute, sexy, selfless, and I don't have a petite and curvy body with a high pitched voice.

    • Then you're not a woman 💯💯

    • @Mongo112323 I'm a girl. And that was pretty rude.

    • He's eighteen, what does he know?

  • This is disgusting... And all the stupid girls wishing to be tat woman... I dont get it.

    • most disgusting thing I've seen today... and I've seen lots of crap already lol

    • So it is stupid for girls wanting to be pretty and abide by traditional standards of femininity? Good job insulting the majority of the female population.

    • well its full of stupid guys who like this kind of girls... a matter of taste? I prefer a guy who loves me because I am good company and not because I am pretty or I take care of the house and kids... selflessly...

  • *sigh* wishing I looked like those women in the pictures on your mytake. I always have been a skinny girl and apparently curves is what is sexy. My figure isn't curvy despite all my efforts to consume more food and exercise better. I am in great health. Rarely get sick, have good hair and skin, can touch my toes, can run a mile in 7 minutes 20 seconds, and etc. But I really wish I was curvy. I lost boob fat (C to B) while getting into shape while I was gaining weight due to muscle. Where are my hips and butt though? Never had them and probably never will even though I squat and do lunges and butt kicks. I think the only thing great about me is my mind, heart, and soul. But sadly most men don't see past the exterior. At least guys I know.

  • Do you legitimately think this makes you look like anything but a completely self-centered sexist loser?

  • Nice my take!! So cute.. haha I would say im 4 out of the five things on that list. Tho not every women is like this, I feel like every guy has their own taste in women and its cool that ur expressing what you like. Its a free country and if sone guys like super feminine women then that's awesome. if some dont thats awesome too. I am extremly feminine because thats who I am and my boyfriend loves it... but... im not dumb or ditsy and i used to get made fun of for being "too feminine". It hurts just as much as someone saying you not feminine enough. Lets just be ourselves and lets allow people to share what they like about others.

  • Number three is rubbish.

  • Just take a look at the majority of women's comments and even some of the men's comments too, bro.

    They are reason why western women today lack feminity. It's disgusting.

    • Yes it is disgusting.

  • Like like like like like

  • Good take. Feels nice to have someone love ladies for the little things we do. I've never heard of a guy thinking it's cute when we mess up. My ex use to freak out on me. Thanks for the love.

  • i agree to everything here. I've got a foot fetish too!!! I knew you did as soon as i read the painting toe nails thing :)

  • Oversexualized.

  • So yeah all we are to men is sex 🙄

    • Yep...

  • Liking the liberal use of the 50s pin-ups. That should really grind some gears.

    You can't compare soldiers to housewives. Wouldn't the men working to support 3+ people instead of just himself, taking risky/nasty jobs and doing overtime be at least just as selfless?

    The rest makes sense.

    When it comes to emotional openness I think it's just the way we're wired. Like there's something that makes a girl 'bi-emotionally-open' or whatever, and guys are 'hetero-emotionally-open'. There's probably a proper name for it but I think that's basically what it comes down to, just like having a sexual orientation and a romantic orientation, people can also have emotional orientations. Guys only want to talk to girls.
