Top 10 Cute Girly Mannerisms, Even If They Are Deliberate

duckface-bishoujo.jpg

Japanese asked what feminine mannerisms designed to draw male attention they find most appealing, even should they be transparently affected, supply a list likely to be rather familiar to moe fans…

The ranking:

1. She tugs your sleeve (7745)

2. She’s always smiling (7051)

3. She casts you an upward gaze (3898)

4. She makes a lonely face when you part (2971)

5. She makes a duck face (2679)

6. She puffs up her cheeks (2047)

7. She sneezes cutely (1469)

8. She tilts her head (1432)

9.She blinks when surprised (605)

The ranking seems to have petered out at 9 – imagining being looked up at by a smiling sleeve-tugging girl should hopefully distract from this deficiency however.

See also the earlier ranking of ways of appealing to men, exhibiting some definite overlap.

    Those mannerisms are very pronounced in children and are not pronounced in adults. I don't know why people become sick with pedophilia but this is not a good way to help them (directed to the blog owner)

    So cute things that girls do suddenly become pedophilia? You do know adults can do this right and if an adult does this, is it pedophilia? So girls aren't suppose to be cute anymore? If a Girl does something cute, would I get arrested for pedophilia even though I didn't ask for it?

    Feminism is turning you into a retard.

    If you want an obvious explanation, what is considered cute actions that younger girls do is considered sexy actions for a woman if she does them. Quite simple. Nearly everything that a woman could do that a younger girl would do would be recognized as sexy in the perception of a heterosexual male basically. If a woman rolls playfully on a bed and giggles, we can get aroused. If a young girl does that, it's adorable. If said young girl is beginning to mature and pubescent, it's... problematic. What men seek is a genuine woman, and ironically, what we seem to be discovering in recent years is that a genuine woman, as with a genuine man, is not afraid to accept their inner child and have fun. Being playful is also very sensual in the masculine/feminine dichotomy.

    The true cultural confusion comes in the fact that in developed nations, it is considered sick or in other ways twisted to consider girls or boys younger than an imposed age of consent as sexually viable, said age of consent based on an attempted 'universal solution' that doesn't really work that well with such a plateau dividing adult and child.

    One issue is, a normal 12-year-old girl/boy in general is recognized biologically (by the brain) as a scaled-down adult body shape to a normal first glance. The shapes that catch the human's sexual biology as a 'viable mating candidate' are recognized, because what we see are shape relationships, not age. The size of the bust-to-waist-to-hip area is instantly calculated in our minds and we unconsciously find it attractive. We then have societal filters that our ego drops on us that says 'by the way, everything you've been told since you were young means that you're wrong and evil for feeling that attraction for a moment.'

    What is happening with all the presence of loli and women acting girlishly and men responding to it and such is a sort of sexual repression finding its way out through cultural loopholes. Men have been unconsciously letting themselves get cornered sexually, and worldwide, it's finding outlets. If we stopped pretending human sexuality, and even adolescent sexuality was such an abhorrent idea, this would actually correct itself for the most part within a generation. It's the same reason we have so many pregnant teenagers. They recognize instinctively that they're ready to breed and it feels good. And yet everyone seems to think it's a phase and still ignores educating them at a young age... *sigh*

    Sorry I have to disagree. When I see a twelve year old girl I don't think she's hot regardless of how shapely she is. I perceive her as a child or at least being childish, and while I might think she's an attractive girl, no part of me wants anything physical with her. I agree that an adult women who has found her inner child and who is genuine is extremely attractive and cute. But my body clearly knows the difference between a child and an adult regardless of what people think society is forcing on me.

    The part of you that does not want to do physical things to her means either A) You don't find her that attractive compared to another girl, considering you're talking about a hypothetical 12-year-old to whom you can hypothetically deny sexual attraction, or B) You have programmed yourself as society wants to not want to approach her. But I simply chose 12 as an age for pubescence. Try 14 or 16. I personally have seen dozens of 14 and 16-year-old girls who are indistinguishable to 18 and 20 and even older.

    The issue for that comes down to the fact that even if we are not attracted to the lack of wisdom or knowledge of a younger girl, we are attracted to lithe, healthy young bodies. There is no denying that. The unwritten rule these days has loosened more to 'look don't touch' rather than 'you even look and you're sick' among the general internet. I think it's a step in the right direction. Denying sexual attraction when it is there is actually exactly what causes sexuality to become overwhelming, and I believe also part of the larger issue.

    The unfortunate reality is that if someone does crave something sexually, even pedophilia, they must admit it to themselves and find an outlet. If they deny it outright, it will merely come back stronger over time. They're trying to prevent their most basic driving force, and it will NOT work with just denial.

    This is where I have to disagree with you HouseLife.

    Someone disagreed with you and told you that they aren't attracted to twelve year old girls, even attractive ones. Then you started to tell him why he's mistaken and why any healthy man SHOULD be attracted to twelve year old girls.

    In other words, you've left no room for consideration that maybe a great deal of men just aren't attracted to twelve year old girls, no matter how attractive.

    In other words, you're so caught up in your argument that you've become hypocritical, trying to tell people what they do and don't actually like... just like the people you're so heavily against.

    If someone is attracted to a sixteen year old who is indistinguishable from a twenty-two year old, then it follows that they are attracted to the traits of adult women, not young teens. :/ Why would you try to tell us what we're attracted to? You make it sound like we're abnormal if we don't like pubescent girls.

    It's rare to see a twelve year old girl that looks comparable to an adult woman. They look closer to children, which isn't sexy. 2D loli is one thing, but 3D loli is a big no thank you.

    Well put, and I enjoyed reading it.

    "Nearly everything that a woman could do that a younger girl would do would be recognized as sexy in the perception of a heterosexual male basically. If a woman rolls playfully on a bed and giggles, we can get aroused."

    I don't entirely agree with this, however. There's a difference between being a child at heart and just being childish. If a woman (or man for that matter) affects the mannerisms of a child, like pouting for example, I don't consider that sexy at all. It makes her look immature. But if she shows enthusiasm to learn new things and has adventurous spirit, qualities many adults lose as the years drag on, I find that irresistible.

    There is a difference. I guess I should have said not 'fake' girlishness. The Japanese fakeness I think has become embedded in the culture through generations. As an American, we grew up with individuality in our culture, so fakeness is among the greatest turn-offs ever for me.

    The Japanese are so good at it however, for me it's actually a strange trick. You know they're fake, but you like seeing just how they do the fakeness. In JAVs for example, it's almost like watching triple-layer acting, like an actor acting like they're acting, yet doing it well. Almost like a sexual satire. It's hard to describe. I don't sit there and analyze it, it just occurred to me a few months ago as I watched one.

    If you've ever been friends with or around a woman who is in touch with her 'inner little girl,' she has this very sensual aura around her. You find yourself acting like a little boy again around them naturally. In the sense of being more willing to be playful and foolish to the external observer.

    And how adults basically act like little kids again during sex? As in being playful, giggling, having fun? That is our inner child. In many ways, sex and sexuality is very childish psychologically. If people can understand that connection, they wouldn't be so concerned about people attracted to younger people.

    Most people who don't want to think about it usually just mindlessly accept "these people are all wrong and evil and should be thrown into a cage forever" without understanding where that thought process came from.

    my gf is one of the least feminine girls I know (she burps, swears and is generally cranky) but she still manages to be moe in her own ways. probably helps that she's tiny and always wears big hats.
