The part that I find ironic is that, despite all their complaining and professing to not understand women, men actually want a feminine girl.
This is true for a lot of men, not all of them--and also depends on what kind of relationship the guy is looking for or even what mood he is in at the time.
For just sex, both feminine and masculine-type women have their definite advantages, and similarly for FWB arrangements. In terms of who I'm likely to have a crush on or want a relationship with (even a short-term one), I tend to go for more feminine women. There is a certain inviting mystery to a girl who likes dolls and cute things, really enjoys other people, etc. Especially since I love machines and technical things so much, I feel drawn to someone who can counterbalance that.
But for me, the kind of things that are "invitingly" feminine mostly have to do with interests and general mannerisms. I certainly wouldn't (for any kind of relationship) mind a woman who actively pursues me, and could definitely do without the low sex drive and the vulnerability complex.
