So the common assumption is that girls are attracted to masculine men and masculine qualities. But some recent experiences with eastern European girls who are love k-pop groups and the singers makes me wonder why these girls are into men with such feminine traits.
I mean these k-pop singers have soft skin, baby faces, no facial hair, very skinny, overtly metrosexual fashion and some even wear makeup. But it drives these girls wild and they dream and worship these guys like sex idols.
What's crazy is that the k-pop phenomenon is raising in popularity in many countries and more and more girls are into it. Also K-dramas are getting popular too where the dudes are super beta and even get emotional and cry. What's the explanation? Doesn't this contradict the assumption that women desire masculine traits and being attractive mean't being more masculine?
Bolded may be the answer there for you. Every musician has a groupie in this world. Music has been getting low quality men laid ever since Homer. Half of the reason to get into music is so that you can score. If that is not the case, than please explain to me why someone like Prince was popular with the ladies. He was not an out of the closet fag yet effeminate.
"You know where you got that shirt, and it damn sure was not in the Men's Department"
Likewise any of the buy bands from 20 years ago strike me as effeminate at the time. Hell their facial hair looked drawn on.
Not sure about the K-pop drama shows that you are referring to, but that has always been popular with women for ever as said earlier in the thread.
It's not necessarily the case that being a musician gets you all the hot ladies. One of my friends is a lead singer on a well known industrial rock band and he says there aren't many girls into that scene and the ones who are are not attractive or feminine. I've seen it and he's right.
I'm talking about how come these girls are going all groupie for those specific traits and image of these k-pop performers. Girls be swooning and tell me how they love how the guys look. They're also in many ways dancers more than they are musicians.
I also know guys who kind of just riding the coattails of the k-pop popularity. They're not musicians at all but just mimic the image and persona to get girls and it works for them.
