People are so sensitive about gender issues these days that we almost avoid talking about femininity or masculinity for fear of offending others.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably hoping to find a more feminine side to yourself — those nameless things about you that make you look more like a girl or a woman.
There’s no right or wrong way to be more feminine or masculine or androgynous — we all have our own tastes, and if you like being feminine, here are some tips to help you cultivate it.
Step 1. Sit down and think about a time when you felt particularly feminine.
Recall the details of the moment – how did you feel?
How did you dress?
What were you doing?
This is the first and most important step because it will determine how you feel about femininity and what works best.
Focus on those details, recreate the situation, and notice how you feel about yourself right now.
2. Understand the difference between women’s and girls’ temperament.
Being girly also implies being feminine, in a young and realistic way.
There’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s not the only way to be feminine.
Even if you’re 70, wearing a silk bathrobe can still make you feel more feminine, because you can still make yourself feel more like a woman after all.
3, cherish every inch of your hair and skin.
You’re a woman because you’re a woman.
How can you be more feminine if you don’t cherish it?
Women’s bodies naturally carry more fat than men’s bodies. Don’t ignore your curves.
On the other hand, taking care of your body also means taking good care of it, so don’t neglect your cholesterol levels.
Fortunately, you don’t need to look like a catwalk model in order to achieve a moderate level of fitness.
4. Learn to be graceful.
In most societies, women are considered more elegant than men.
But there are always exceptions, and it’s up to you, of course, to choose grace as an expression of femininity.
In general, many women believe that a smooth stride makes them feel more feminine than a stumbling or masculine walk.
Of course, there are circumstances to consider.
You want to look energetic on the volleyball court or shooting range. You want to be more feminine in the bar or bedroom.
There’s no rule that says you have to be classy (or feminine) at all times.
5. Dance.
Dance is an extension of your body, and by dancing you can find ways to highlight your femininity.
Belly dancing, for example, focuses on women’s natural curves.
In the eyes of Chinese people, this is likely to look not feminine but flirtatious. Ladies who adhere to the line of the jade girl, if you follow the words, you twist the dance, you think you have the trick, because the image change too fast and scare away your husband, then the translator is guilty of great.)
Dancing with partners, like salsa, waltzes, can also make you feel feminine.
So these are traditional, male-female dances — the men lead the dance, and the women follow in a smart, flashy posture.
6. Learn to be cheerful.
Let’s put the whole idea in perspective. To be feminine means to be graceful and light.
In those situations where elegance is lacking, you may be standing in the middle of the room facing an awkward situation, and the best womanhood is to be able to laugh about it.
Think about it: in most people’s dictionaries, discussing heavy life topics is very unfeminine, so it shouldn’t be.
So smile, be playful, be funny, be cheerful.
Have some fun!
Ultimately, being feminine is about feeling relaxed about yourself, and it’s impossible to be relaxed when you’re too rigid or stuffy, so change yourself: be a happy-go-lucky person.
