Uniquely beautiful stuff about women

[Nero]

No physical stuff. Just other stuff.

To me, there's this kind of unique comfort you really only get from women. Like what I described here:

Lol starting to sound like my sister! (god I miss her) I hope you're right. 

Aww... I'm so sorry. And I'm also honored that you would think that. I don't know anything about your sister but I bet she would be proud that you're making this effort to heal. You just need a hug.

thanks honey. I think maybe the pain and void of female friendships intensified for me once my sisters were gone. Because while I never had female friends, I did have sisters.
What I miss most is that no matter what ever happened to me or whatever I was going through - I'd be fresh from jail and sick, shaken and traumatized by everything that happened. And there would be my sister at the door. With the look of love and compassion only a girl can give. The hug only a girl can give. The way she said my name - just the kind of instant comfort only a woman can give. And maybe only a sister can give. Oh god, sorry. Crying. My heart is broken. Really broken.

I mean, men give comfort and it's also beautiful. And unique and awesome. It usually also has this touch of strength to it. A man can reassure in a way that promises strength and is very uplifting. A man reassures you and makes you believe everything will be ok.

But women do it differently. When one is suffering, there is something women do with just a look or a word. And not just family. Most women are capable of it. I don't know if it's socialization or that they're just more free to express emotion. Or if it's just something unique to women (all women; I've seen it in both cis and trans women).

They seem to have this second sense when someone is hurting. And of course like men, not all women are nice, some are pretty evil. But in most of them there's this indescribable thing. A gorgeous thing. You're hurting and maybe everything isn't going to be ok. But she's there.

And just the fact that she is there, with her look and voice of compassion, understanding, and something... indescribable - makes whatever you're going through more bearable. Because she is there. No matter what she says or does. She is there. With her eyes. Her voice. She is holding your heart and rubbing a balm (or whatever) on it. No matter what you're going through. Or how deep the hurt. She's there. And the world would be unbearable without her.

Share anything you think is uniquely beautiful about women.

Many women have a sixth sense and pick up emotional vibes concerning the inner pain of others without having to be told anything and then become instantly empathetic and emote an innate sense of compassion that floods over you like love. I've enjoyed being on the receiving end of that and am becoming more in tune with providing the same to others. Cis men are normally not so gifted and prefer not to show emotion or empathy as they fear it may be perceived as a chink in their armor and result in some kind of unwanted attraction and drama with females and show weakness in the eyes of other males.

Wow, FA, there you go, making me think again. LOL!

When I was questioning things and seriously starting to think I might actually be female, one of the things I read was that women can read emotions on people's faces much better than men can.  I could always see when someone was hurting, lying to me, annoyed with me, etc.  If I had any desire to play poker at all (I pretty much hate the hypermasculine competitiveness about it.), I am actually very good at reading people and generally did very well.  I took a lot of money away from my friends and father when I was a kid. 

I even took an online test that showed 30 faces and you were supposed to match the emotions to the face.  It said that men generally didn't do very well on this test compared to women.  I got all 30 correct.

I always seemed to be much more emotional, compassionate and empathetic than most MAABs.  So many guys I know are able to detach themselves emotionally from hard situations, seemingly as some kind of defense mechanism, but I found that difficult or impossible.  When I had a life threatening illness and pretty much lived in doctors' offices and hospitals for a month, I saw lots of sick and dying people of all descriptions.  Part of me wanted to reach out, hug them and reassure them all that things were going to be OK.  I remembering consoling a woman in a waiting room who just learned she needed a mastectomy and needed to talk to someone, and I think she could tell that I was "different" than most guys.

When my wife comes home from work, I can usually tell what kind of day she had just by looking at her, and I know when she needs an extended hug instead of a kiss.

Definitely. It is really powerful, but rarely noticed until it's gone. When my partner died, my father was great, giving the kind of comfort and strength only a man can. And I'm not sure I'dve ever survived if my mother hadn't been there. But what wasn't there and that I strongly felt the absence of - was one single look from my sister.

That's sad, but it's not on you, she will have to wear the fallout from that on her soul and it will show on her face as she ages, it always does.

I think women can heal people's pain because they know so acutely what it is to hurt. It's beautiful and it's a little sad. To be a woman is painful, very much of the time. Guys, they have their struggles, but they don't often live in the shadow of rape, powerlessness, being ignored, being diminished, being an avatar, a kind of internal, installed guilt that men probably couldn't identify if you explained it to them. Even if a woman misses some of those things she knows another woman who couldn't and knows it could have been her. I would be lost in life without all my female friends through my life who care and cared so much even when they don't have to.

Oh i believe it hon. Just from the compassion you've shown a stranger - me.

Oh, I hope one day she will care, wherever she is. I'd have sold my soul for one look at her face after she heard my partner was dead.

Whenever I miss her (as well as a certain other sister on this forum), I listen to this:

The general collective feminine sense of humor.  I tend to love almost every female comedian/comedy actress whereas its a lot harder for male comedians to win me over. 

[BunnyBee]

Awe I love this .

Women are the best.  Not that men can't also be great in their own way, because a good man is an amazing thing.

I can't express better than FA did why I love women and why my best friends will probably always be female.  Sometimes I wish I was attracted to them too, because if I have to be roommates for life with somebody it would go so much better if it were with a woman, I feel.  Of course men bring things to the equation that I don't, and there is a good symbiosis about living with them too, but I don't think I will ever be able to relate with or understand a man as well as I do women generally.

Women are beauty. They beautify themselves and our world as part of their essential nature. They soften the rough edges of life and sweeten the melody of humanity with color and variety. They show us that nurture and love are just as important as power and wealth.

I would literally give anything to actually be one.

Suzi, you already are. It radiates from everything you think, say and feel. The only person who needs a little nudge to see it, is you, sweetie. But you will. And when that happens... look out world!
