Is It Considered Gay For A Man To Be Sexually Attracted To Masculinity?

[Knuckles Red]

A couple days ago someone posted a thread about masculinity and whether or not is a social construct. My answer was that it is, and that there is nothing innate about a man being masculine. That thinking lead me to a new question. "What if a man was sexually attracted to a female who was masculine?" I remember when I took a P.E. class last semester, and there was a butch lesbian in the class who was quite masculine but still very attractive. I found her to be really sexy (surprisingly). So if masculinity is a social construct then would it be considered gay for a man to be attracted to masculinity if it comes in the form of a woman? What if a man is ONLY attracted to masculine women?

It may not be "gay" in some special and unlikely circumstances, but it's certainly "feminine" which in our society is probably worse

Yeah, we're definitely dealing with technicalities here. Kind of like how race isn't really real, but it is in it's consequences. Perception is reality type shyt. For example, if you saw a dude walking hand in hand with his girlfriend who looked like this:

...and then you came to find out that this was his "type," as in this is the ONLY type of female who turned him on...what would that mean? I know there are guys who are in to female body builders, but those female body builders could still be feminine even with all those muscles. But that spoiler is clearly masculine.

I met a 19 year old boy who tried hard to get with me.
He was a gym rat but told me he enjoyed staring at pictures of fit men for motivation and showed me them pictures and said "see how hot they are".. then he told me he enjoyed watching gay porn. but he never then said no homo or pause, or even an I DONT LIKE MEN THOUGH.

i dont know if that was a real encounter or a prank style encounter but it seemed like he meant it.
a year later i brought it up to him and he denied it.

I think a tomboy still exhibits femininity whereas butch lesbians (like the one in my description) are female, but totally masculine.

I'd argue that most men here are attracted to masculinity.

 

[Knuckles Red]

And inversely, would it be considered "gay" for a woman to ONLY be attracted to feminine men?

I think things like pink being feminine and blue being masculine are social constructs, but some things really are biological
