Is it normal that i (20m) like to represent myself as kind of feminine?

So I was never quite sure if I was LGBTQ+ or not. I always liked women for sure, but it was a complex subject for me to think about.

But recently I used the same razor I use to get rid of my unibrow and slight facial hair to get rid of all of my leg hair, as a sort of "you only live once thing"...and I ended up loving it, ironically. Both how my legs looked and how they felt. So pale, perfect, silky, and just so smooth. And though I've fallen down and scraped my knees and such in the past...I didn't seem to have scars.

I used to only wear pants, but I began to wear shorts again. And not just any shorts, but rather short shorts. Like think 4 to 7 inch inseam. And I have long legs, so yes, it's a LOT of thigh. But the shorts don't ride up, and are perfectly modest. And I wear them to the pool, beach, at home, or just to chill. Otherwise I wear long pants to more professional occasions.

I thought my girlfriend (22F) would be weirded out by this...but no. She loved it even more than me! She couldn't stop comparing the softness of my legs to her own against silky freshly washed sheets, and she also wears short shorts a lot. About the same length as mine, just a wee bit shorter, and smaller pockets. She told me she doesn't care if a man is masculine or feminine, just that they're genuine and honest. And she said she liked me when I was masculine presenting, she wasn't gonna stop liking me now.

And yeah, like...I know the tradition is for men to be masculine, but I love being so soft and silky. And hopefully not too weird, but I like seeing my girlfriend's dark colored legs (she's Black) next to my pale colored legs (I'm White). And I help her put on lotion when it's dry, and she helps me put on sunscreen when it's sunny. So it works.

    Normal. There's no such thing as feminine and masculine anyway. My ex shaved his arms and legs I would have preferred hair but at the same time it made him happy so I didn't care too much.

        Yeah he does also has his hair in pony tails.

        Lol no, he just didn't like body hair at all so he shaved nearly everything. He said he felt dirty with body hair

      You 100% genuinely can't detect something as masculine or feminine?

      This is good to hear, and right on, I agree, haha. My girlfriend is the exact opposite, in that she prefers me hairless...and well, I do too, so win-win for both of us. It's sweet you still accept your boyfriend for that though, despite the difference in preference. Relationships are about respecting (reasonable, obv) personal choices, after all. Not toxic ones obv, but yeah, you get me, I believe.

    yeah it doesn't make you a woman though

    i don't shave anything and i'm not a guy, you're just a dude who defies some gender expectations and that's ok

    be who you are, its a shame that society labels us and how we should be we all have a female side as well as a male side, this goes for both genders. yet it is ok for a female to portray herself as male, but not for a man to show his female side.. i personally hate hair on my body and shave regular everything except the hair on top of my head and have done so for many years and never what that hair to return. i also wear very short shorts, have to buy woman's shorts as mens are way too long. also wear kilts and skirts as there is more freedom there than what one would even imagine

    This might be surprising, but a study was done, according to The Indian Express, that proved women are more attracted to shaven men!
    You don’t have to worry about women finding you unattractive. The only ones who would most likely judge you for it are other men (soo shocking…).

      Sorry for the late reply, but...wow, is this really true? Is it only for India or certain countries, or does it extend to like Eastern and Western countries, including the USA and Canada too? I've never heard of this, but I'm kind of slow and out of the loop, so...don't take my word for it, lol.

      Other people gave me a lot of flak for my shaved legs and short shorts though. It's good thing I don't care though. My girlfriend loves my legs, and so do I. I either wear full long pants, or short shorts that show my legs mid-thigh. No in-between, lmao. My girlfriend is the exact same.
