Pervasive crippling depression.

I'm trans btw. That probably colors my perspective at least a little.

The first word could be a sexual act as well, but I thought that would be crass.

Ideally? Mature, secure, kind.

Yep I'd go protective, respectful, kind

Those are good ones

My s/o after some thought: "Protective, strong-willed... hot? I dunno? Why are you asking me this?" edit: Sorry I saw this in /new, didn't realize I should not be posting here via rule #1, I'll see myself out.

Honestly? It's so mixed depending on the person, but the bad is burnt into my brain. So I immediately thought frightening, protective, dangerous. Cos I've met a range of men but the bad really do stay with you

SparkleBooty@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Protective is a good one !

Chivalry, hardness (of features), simplicity

SparkleBooty@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

These are very nice, I like these :)

dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 1y

the quick words that came to my mind:

::: spoiler show muscle, anger, horny :::

That's not a particularly good description of masculinity 🤔

With more reflection I choose these:

::: spoiler show yoke, sword, seed :::
