Uncalled For,
Of course it’s never acceptable to touch a woman when it’s clear she does not want to be touched. Masculinity in any of it’s definitions is useless unless accompanied by consideration and respect for the woman he is interacting with. Detinennui32 made some excellent points about when and how to use appropriate touch. As far as a man being able to judge when touch is appropriate I think two things are essential: accurate self assessment and social skill. That is, how far above (or below) you in MPV is the woman you are approaching/ speaking to? If you are a good-looking alpha you can assume many, if not most, women will be pleased by your attention and will respond favorably. If you are a male 6, for example, confidence may get you far with a woman who is maybe a point or two higher, but it’s important to know just how far you can go. And it is crucial to be able to judge a woman’s interest in you and therefore receptivity to your touch i.e. social skill (reading body language, facial expression, tone of voice, etc). So yes, I would define true masculinity as having enough experience with women to be able tell if she probably will or will not be receptive to you. Which leads to the next point. Being afraid of something usually stems from not having any, or enough, experience with it. In this case, it would be a fear of not knowing how a woman will react to you touching her. An inexperienced man would be afraid of being rejected, yelled at, ridiculed (sometimes women can be so nasty!). Inexperience would come from insecurity, being afraid to talk to women…the opposite of confident masculinity. An essential quality of masculinity is courage in going after what you want.
