    I've known a lot of femme guys like the ones in this video. They've ALL said they would never date another femme. Here lies the problem. They blame masc guys for not dating them, but they themselves wouldn't date themselves.

      There's a difference between not wanting to date those who are feminine and having prejudices against ones

      But they are far less likely to hold prejudice toward someone similar to themselves in respect to feminine expression. Get real. I don't care if you have 50 likes or 5,000 likes - internalized oppression is very real and toxic masculinity is often the root cause.

      As for age, weight and ability, these standards are evolutionary and are a result of natural selection. The fem thing might be both social and biological.

      It's not even about that. 'Not into femmes' as a response to a self described femme who hits you up and wants to know why is 'femme shaming' it's a statement of fact.
      'Preferences' aren't negotiable, they aren't a social construct, and in actual fact they aren't even preferences because you cannot in fact change them very much.
      And so I'm kind of sick of moralising finger waggling tut tuting old women trying to tell me what sort of homosexual I should be.
      People with absolutely no self insight parotting the ideology of their in group and who are only distinguishable from evangelical Christians by virtue of dressing like a cartoon unicorn.
      If you want to wear a dress, put on glitter, nail polish and other make and swan around like the Queen of Sheba, more power to you. But you can do it without my input, preferably out of my immediate vicinity, such grandstanding and desperately needy attention seeking behaviour annoys the fuck out of me.
      Because it's fake, inauthentic and acting, solely to be the centre of attention without actually achieving any real mastery of yourself letalone any mastery of a skill or talent.
      It has absolutely zero to do with sexuality or 'gender' so you have absolutely no claim to victim status if people simply avoid you and tell you your ultra needy behaviour creeps them out and they do not wish to associate with you because they enjoy the company of men and you simply aren't acting like one.

That is strictly up to them. What I am hearing is a bunch of cranky guys with unrealistic expectations.

      And you Are right when you say that we should respect other men if they wanna be masculine because they feel that way.
      Our frustration comes from the fact that beeing female as a man still is really difficult because we get insulted and people make fun of us. Male man Are praised for beeing really masculine and you get insulted or made fun of if you’re not. And on Top of that dating is really hard.
      This is not your fault, the only thing we want is to be respected.

    Femme shaming is rude. Hate seeing it. At the same time I am attracted to masculinity and I am a fairly "masculine". I once told a "femme" guy that he wasn't my type because after a week of seeing eachother I could tell we had nothing in common. He didn't like sports, didn't like camping, doesn't like to surf and didn't like cars, but he wasn't getting the hint and he flipped and called me a "typical straight acting faggot" and said "I'm probably more of a queen than him". I am sick of all the "masc" shaming where the community thinks that you are putting on an act if you like anything considered as a masculine. It's like they are saying,"if you suck dick then you can't be masculine".

      Hey, I am a fem guy. Maybe I can explain it better.
      First of all it’s totally valid to be or be not interested in someone. I think the frustration we have comes from the fact that dating as a „fem“ man is really difficult because we get rejected 95% of the time. And this feeling is devastating and sometimes we begin to think that we have to give up on love to be your authentic self. And sure, self confidence is key. And we are. But love is also a huge aspecto in life. It‘s not your fault for not liking it. It‘s just hard to accept the fact that most of us will end up alone.
      On top of that we get insulted by other men and one time I got punshed in the face just for wearing make up.
      And the experience with the guy you had comes maybe from this whole background I mentioned. When you get rejected a lot of times you get cold in your Heart. And this coldness can turn into frustration. It never justifies his actions against you and I feel sorry for that. It just reflects his own hurting.

    Lots of pearls of stupidity in this one. Here's a breakdown in runtime order:
    0:42 - "It's hurtful to certain groups of people, you know, when they have their preferences."
    What's 'hurtful' in someone stating what they do and don't find attractive in the context of a sex app? Statements like these tend to actually mean "I'm upset that [preferences] exclude me because I'm attracted to the person whose preferences I don't physically adhere to."
    0:46 - "I feel like I cannot hit up, like, any of those 'masc for masc' dudes cause immediately you'd get, like shot down."
    Why are you 'hitting up' these 'dudes' in the first place when you know that they're probably not going to be attracted to you? They don't owe you sex (or a friendly response) when you deliberately disregard their stated preferences.
    0:57 - "It's definitely trying when you think of who you are on a visual level can stop someone from wanting to interact and establish something meaningful with you."
    The implication being that on a sex app, physical attraction shouldn't matter?
    1:23 - "We're all queer here."
    Actually, no. 'Queer' is a term utilized by some people to describe their sexuality, but Grindr is not inhabited specifically (or even primarily) by people identifying as 'queer.’ The app serves people identifying as gay, bi, trans, etc, some of whom may also identify as ‘queer.’ There are also couples (both male/male and male/female), sex workers and yes, even the occasional cis female. But regardless of this, how people understand and define themselves sexually does not mean they need to be attracted to any specific type of person. And Part of respecting others’ sexualities is respecting how they experience desire.
    1:34 - “No one cares if it’s not your ‘preference;’ you wanna hide behind the word ‘preference?’ That’s fine, but no one wants to hear it…Oh, my preference is not black guys…I just can’t change that…I’m talking about things like ‘my big toe is the same size as my pinky,’ that you can’t change so get over it, but the fact that you have hate in your heart, you can always change.”
    This seems somewhat off topic for a video focused on ‘femme shaming,’ but ok. So, the implication here is that all sexual based preferences are actually racist? And that not ‘changing’ these preferences makes you a bigot? And what’s with the analogy between preferences and toe sizes?
    3:27 - “It takes more of a man to be effeminate and true to who you are than to hide behind this guise of heteronormativity and masculinity…”
    And, true to form, the video ends with an attempt to delegitimate masculine gender performance in men with the not so subtle use of the word ‘guise’ as a way of qualifying men who behave in conventional masculine ways.

    Again there is such a double standard. It's ok for femme men to have a preference for certain types of guys and yet masculine men cannot? Nobody should be mean to anybody. If they are not what you are looking for then tell them that you are not interested and move on. For those who politely get rejected, they need to move on and not throw insults back. It's clearly an insecurity if you get upset at the person you are interested in, isn't interested in you and you resort to insults. Rejection is a part of life. Your not going to be everybodies cup of tea. Again Grindr is a hookup app. People like what they like. You cannot force somebody to be interested in you or sleep with you if you are not what they are looking for. Attraction goes both ways and until people understand that, they will continue to get hurt, because they will hopelessly hit on people that aren't interested in them. If you are femme, or masc or anywhere in between, you should own it. Be yourself and just be patient. There is someone out there that will like you for who you are.

      There’s a difference between having a preference and making a statement about it. You don’t need to announce “no asians”. You just find the ones you want to connect with. It’s unnecessary to make a song and dance about it. It’s the same for femme. You don’t need to announce “no femmes”. It’s all subjective anyway.

    Preference is not hate. Preference is not sexist. Saying Masc4Masc on ur profile (as I proudly do) is neither hateful nor shaming anyone. If you are offended by it then it just speaks to your insecurities and your need for everyone to love you. Saying Masc4Masc doesn't mean I don't accept you. It says I'm a MAN who likes MEN; not men acting like women. If you are feminine then that's who you are; accept it, love yourself and move on. But don't tell me I'm being hateful or shaming you and that my preference is not acceptable by your standards. I'm a white guy living in South Korea. When I click on a profile that says "no Westerners" or "Asian only" I use this wonderful digit called a finger to click the back button and move on. Why? Because it's their preference! If a profile says "no Masc4Masc bullshit" (as a profile in my neighborhood says) I again click the back button. I don't make a scene and have a snowflake meltdown and send 13 insulting, swearing, threatening voice messages. This is what some fem guy threw my way recently for daring to say I prefer Masc men. Fem guys, I'm sorry to be the bearer of truth, are the ones dividing our community by throwing tantrums, having meltdowns and telling us that our preference makes us sexist, racist, homophobic and even a Nazi (yes, I've been called that).

If I said that I prefer skinny smooth effeminate guys and not big muscular guys, does it mean that I somehow hate the big muscular guys? We all have our type and we are all the way we are. There is someone out there who will like you for who you are and you will like them for who they are. It's called diversity.

    Being masculine isn't always necessarily a mechanism for gay men to conform to hetero normality. Most masculine men like me thoroughly enjoy being with a man that carries them selves in a non female way. Masc guys feel comfortable with other masc guys socially. We can't deny the differences between fem and masc culture (masc guys don't feel the pressure of having eyebrows done, being materialistic and having their sexuality be the very first thing that's put on display when they're w/ other masc guys) . Though masc men shouldn't shame fem men and No fem should be dictating who you sleep, chat or go out with.

    As someone who fall on "femme" spectrum, acknowledge that everyone has their own preferences. Going for a masc when you are a femme yourself is like bumping yourself against the wall. No one owes attraction to you whatever you identify yourself. I've been rejected and even blocked for being masc in this app (which i already deleted for good) and that's ok. Stop whining over something that you can't control nor can never have. Start focusing on yourself and if a person don't like/love you for you, they don't worth a shit of your time.

I think that's pretty much one of the reasons that I'm gay ... with the other being that I love the D. Yeah, anyway. I can understand the message Grindr is trying to convey here -- which is (I think) only, that looking down or shaming anyone for the way they carry themselves and behave is downright wrong! Yes, it is. It's okay if one is not "into" femmes, but that doesn't mean he's gonna go ahead and just say mean things to the other not fitting his "type". STOP DOING THAT.
    Now, that's one thing.
    But yes, as some others here have pointed out, there IS a certain double standard here too. Just because you've had bad experiences with some guys as a result of your flamboyancy/effeminacy (which I can understand), that doesn't mean YOU get a pass to, literally, stand on a pedestal, and bash the whole of masculinity. You just don't.

      Okay, first of all, this is not about attacking someone with a preference. This is about being attacked for who you are as a person. Second of all, you do have feminine types that are into other fems, or just don't care all together whether you're fem or masculine, so you can't use that card. Third of all, you do have masculine type gays, or bisexual guys, that are into feminine type guys, but generally they also get backlash for being into fem guys from being told "what's the point of you liking guys if you don't like masculine guys". So really, the attack on feminine men being feminine men boils down to masculine gay men who feel that a gay man should be masculine and into other masculine men, and anything outside of that is by default wrong and out of place. Now how the hell are you going to try to be "politically correct" as a gay man, in a society that slams you for being a dude who wants to screw other dudes? Assuming you don't like it when you're told "why don't you try dating a girl" or "why don't you try going straight", don't slam a feminine gay man for being who he is, because at the end of the day, you're just being a hypocrite at that point.

But you have the right to have a preference, and sometimes even if you are extremely careful when saying "sorry mate, you're not my type" you'd still get hate from them I guess coming from the frustration of that line one of these guys said “I feel like I cannot hit up any of those masc or masc dudes. Because immediately you would get shut down.” They feel annoyed by the fact they want to have an interaction with you but, since you're not into these type of men, then they get frustrated and start insulting you and implying you're a discriminatory asshole.

      was pure gold, because its true. Lots of gay femme men are not into other femme guys so they should be the first ones to understand its just a matter of taste and preference. Again, NEVER shaming or insulting someone.

Funny that 😂 And if a man is attracted to masculinity then he is attracted to masculinity. Move on. Of course if anybody deliberately sends hateful or derogatory comments towards somebody with intent to offend then that is of course not nice behaviour.
    But I’ve never really been offended by playground style bullying in my adult years tbh. I rise above such low life. Perhaps you should all do the same.
    But no, just as a straight man shouldn’t have to find a fat woman attractive because he likes skinny women doesn’t make him wrong for having a preference. Nobody is saying that you have to shame anybody. If you want to broaden your options and get the masculine man of your dreams perhaps put down the nail polish and man up! I’m so sick of these attempts at shaming people for having personal standards. If you can’t deal with being rejected fuck off. I’m so sick of this bullshit you absolute snowflakes.

I’m not part of a special community for goodness sake and I certainly do not ascribe to a culture based on my sexuality. I’m not part of a special community of victims. I am a man living his life. Do heterosexuals have a community to? This is exactly the kind of mentality that creates segregation and inequality. You are not special!

    Preference is just that. A preference. This carries over to sex, dating, and relationships in forms of preferences. I’m sorry that I don’t like men who are feminine, or by definition, act like girls. You don’t deserve special treatment because you paint your nails or talk a certain way. Do it if you want, and be who you are, and be proud of it, BUT never expect that people be interested in you no matter what.

    i feel a lot of the commentors here are missing the point. The point is that gay culture is very heteronormative; masculine traits are admired and feminine traits rejected; which is a pity as masculine and feminine elements co-exist in all men. The narrative that we've wound up with, casting feminine men as less desirable as more masculine men is problematic. I don't know how to undo it; but we need to acknowledge it as problematic. Of course nobody is suggesting you go and court someone you're not attracted to - that would be ridiculous. However, stating on a dating profile that you're not interested in feminine men: that's just mean.

    There is surely a kind of stigma wrapped around the word “femme” in the gay community. I think the heart of it is not exactly the implication of this word, assumed or not, but it’s that most of the gay community desire the idea of masculinity, whether for themselves or for their partners. The gay men in this video are victims of the side-effects of this very desire, and it has to be stopped or tempered if we want to do justice and make peace upon ourselves.

    @Algorhythmical 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There’s a difference between having a preference and making a statement about it. You don’t need to announce “no asians”. You just find the ones you want to connect with. It’s unnecessary to make a song and dance about it. It’s the same for femme. You don’t need to announce “no femmes”.
    It’s all subjective anyway. The guy who claims to be masculine might look very masc in his pics but when he shows up you find his voice, mannerisms or any number of things effeminate even though he doesn’t see himself that way. Like who’s standards are you measuring against? It’s a very narrow heterosexual model of masculinity. One must have muscles, a beard, be emotionally stunted, talk in a certain way, don’t move your hands around too much, walk a certain way, enjoy spectator sports and drinking beer, sound and look like a heterosexual man. They are basically saying that unless a man passes as heterosexual and nobody can tell they are gay then they are not attractive let alone fuckable. It’s internalised homophobia 101.
    It’s really really fucking sad that it’s comes to this. Being gay used to be about being free to be whoever the hell you want to be because you’ve been oppressed your entire life by heterosexuals. Not anymore. Now you gotta conform and be Uber macho. Be more masculine than straight men if you wanna get laid. Gay men used to give the middle finger to the heterosexual men oppressing them by embracing the feminine qualities they were bullied and rejected for. By playing them up. I guess it’s what drag is all about. The fact that gay men have now internalised that fear of the feminine and now conform to heterosexual men’s standards of masculinity instead is very sad and messed up.
    The saddest part is that the femme shamers mostly hide behind faceless profiles and many claim to be straight even though they are searching for dicks to suck! There is nothing masculine about being anonymous online, announcing how straight and masc you are and shaming anyone who doesn’t do what you do. They’re pathetic cowards.

It is entirely right for people to be themselves, in the way they speak, how they dress, and how the express themselves freely without abuse. Gay people aren't a different species. Some are decent caring people, others are pieces of work. I am not going to be lectured about who I'm attracted to - that is entirely down to me. If someone chooses to narrow their search choices then they are potentially missing out on the man* of their dreams so in fact they are the ones who are going to lose out.

    1). The point of this video was to shed light on the negative experiences femme people face when trying to find sexual intimacy on dating apps. There’s a difference between having a preference and making someone feel isolated and excluded from their own community. As if they don’t meet the standard qualifications to deserve a positive sexual experience.
    2). You can say what you want but “having a preference” doesn’t give someone the right to degrade and ridicule someone else for being who they are.
    3). It’s quite disappointing to see the lack of compassion in these comments coming from other gay men. Especially when your counter arguments are “bunch of complainers after being rejected”. Until you identify as a femme person and face repetitive scrutiny, you have no right to tell someone how they should feel after their experience. Allow them to tell their story without passing judgment, the same way you expect them to accept your preferences.
    4). As a femme person I understand what each individual is saying in the video because I’ve experienced it first hand. So let me put this into perspective for anyone who thinks this is propaganda for bashing masculine gay men for not liking femme people. It’s simple, have some compassion for other people’s feelings. We’re all grown adults, we can accept when someone is simply not interested but we can not accept the vile ignorance and disrespect.
