Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
That was actually my photo everyone that never meet me before often thinks I was a girl when we first meet...
I didn't mean it as an offense to you, but I have to admit, I was originally confused by your femininity in the beginning myself. If you remember one of our first chats where I turned around and I asked "I can't help but wonder, with the name of Cute Wolf and that pink fox creature with hearts..."
I think it is probably why it is 'easier' to spot a homosexual male than a homosexual female. Because of the social stigma, you don't usually see males in a situation as yourself, displaying their femininity, but when they get released from the closet, as it were, they are not bound by the same rules, if anything, they feel empowered and freed, because calling a homosexual, an homosexual isn't much of an 'insult'. It is like calling a piece of chalk, a piece of chalk.
Also, in many ways, this reinforces the 'circle of stigma' ... cruel world.

and I can't grow that damn... moustache and beard... dammit... genetics...
*. and about that pink fox... well, that was my avatar on several other sites and forums.... actually that pic was my profile pics on TWC
Interesting, I didn't know that was you, the painted-in bandana makes it harder to say who it is anyway. Maybe that's why outlaws wore them, so the police would arrest their mother instead...

...
1. Are you (if you're a man) or are men (if you're a woman) attracted by painted fingernails? Lol ... no.
2. Are you (if you're a man) or are men (if you're a woman) attracted by longer nails or fake nails? No.
3. Are you (if you're a man) or are men (if you're a woman) attracted by jewelry? "Attracted" by jewelry? No. It can accentuate a person's physical appearance, but it's pretty much irrelevant in the overall evaluation.
4. Are you (if you're a man) or are men (if you're a woman) attracted to painted toenails? Lol ... no. In fact, if I observe too much energy and attention being given to these kinds of things, it's a big turn-off. It suggests excessive vanity and perhaps, insecurity.
5. Which do you prefer, long or short hair? (in general) Neither. On the right woman, either. I consider the whole package. Though I have physical preferences/requirements, her personality and lifestyle, and how well they integrate with mine, carry much more weight.

The first reaction that popped in my head when I read the title of the thread was that: "most are vain." Heh.
I notice and consider mannerisms, behaviors, subtleties of speech, values expressed directly or indirectly through opinions in conversation--over time. These add up eventually to the point where I either decide to pursue, disengage, or be friends. On very rare occasions, it takes very little time. But I've learned the hard way to be especially careful when that happens ....
Perhaps long curly hair. Yeah, that's my Achilles heel. A petite girl with curly hear and a bit of a tomboy. Yep, than I just can't hold myself but keep it quite.

I'm not at all surprised by the responses in this thread. Men don't notice these things, but then you don't want them to notice any one of them. If they notice, it means you've probably overdone it. If you've got it right, it all works on a subconscious level.
There is no doubt in my mind that women can make themselves look more attractive. I know a couple of people who are experts at this form of deception.

Yeah I know it seems like it's just me here, I don't get the craze about her. I just don't see how people could think she's attractive... she has thin lips, a big forehead, smallish eyes. Plus I think she radiates stuck-upness although others seem to see it as intelligence/elegance.
I don't consider Emma Watson to be very attractive. And I think that the short hair doesn't work on her. It's definitely too short, and yes, Rhyfelwyr is correct when he mentions her big forehead and tiny face, that give her a kind of unintellectual look.
Edit: Here a good example of what I consider beautiful short hair:
On Emma Watson, well to me it looks as if she wants to attract some Catholic priests. She looks like a young schoolboy...
With long hair, she's not really all that either. She isn't ugly, she's just the average girl. On the length of her forehead, I think it's not that bad. But that's perhaps because I got used to large foreheads thanks to Rihanna's massive one.

Which is interesting, as her academic achievements include maintaining a straight-A performance on exams even while pursuing her film career with the Harry Potter films, and had her pick of many fine universities, and not because she has money either. I'd also like to mention, her critically-acclaimed and award-winning performances, as the same character over a series of films, is difficult to achieve and not something that you'd find from a dumb-dumb.
I see I am in the minority about her appearance, but that could be due to small sampling. Given the fact that she's an actress and has done modelling, obviously some who are in the business of recognizing beauty agree with my viewpoint.
So, feel free to disagree, but note all that I am not budging from my original statements, and if you don't like it, I'll just add that to my list of things I view PROUDLY and unflinchingly from a minority standpoint, confident that it is indeed I who is correct.
