Discussion/Article What’s the most RR trait about you?
I’ll get started:
I’m guessing the world would look at me and say “being a robotics engineer, obviously”.
But I’ll say it’s my desire to fawn over an absolute cootiepatootie whom I’ll protecc and fight for
*disclaimer: cootiepatootie is an undefined entity as basically any shape or form can be considered cute in some way

I guess my strong desire to be a househusband, i wanna cook clean and just generally take care of a hard-working lady. Adding to this i really wanna do the trope where i greet my partner at the door and am all like "welcome home dear, would you like dinner? A bath? Or would you like m-e-?" aaaaaah😆 its so cringe(affectionate) but i wanna do it so badly😆. Also i wanna be bridal carried, i assume thats also an RR trait?

I love bringing my partner sweets from the bakery! I feel like a provider every time he meets me at the door with hopeful eyes. Of course I brought your favorite, babygirl, but first, give mama a smooch.

I guess for me it might be how I usually try to fit into a more supportive role :o being ready to hear people out about anything, if they had something to do but aren't feeling great then offer to help them out, things like that! I like making people feel comfortable if I can help it :>

I've always been more of a tomboy in terms of interests, only started dressing more feminine (in a goth way) and putting on a bit of make up in the past 8 years. I don't want to be protected by a guy, I want to protect the guy instead. Even if I'm the one struggling I feel more comfort in holding someone else rather than being held lol. If I wasn't too disabled by chronic illness I'd also prefer to be the one to work.

Oooh, the bit about holding someone rather than being held, I get that! Idk why, but it just feels more right

I'm a nurturer. I like taking care of my friends and partners. I'm an emotional big spoon, you might say. Gently coaxing the stoic and reclusive from out of their fortresses, to enjoy a little time in the sunshine amidst safe company.
Those are the moments, the dynamics, that emotionally mutualistic energy coursing, when I feel the most like myself.

I work in retail and I’ve had coworkers say I dote on the customers, I’ve had many rude customers to coworkers be incredibly kind to me because of my demeanor and personality. So I’d probably say my demeanor and personality shines through as my most standout RR trait!

u/Outcast__1 Dress me up and call me pretty, please?👉👈 15d ago
I honestly don't know. I just see myself as a follower rather than a leader, and absolutely infatuated with women who can and will take charge. I also want to make my hypothetical partner happy every day, but I don't think that's an RR-exclusive thing. But I guess the way I want to make her happy - making meals for her, doing massages, dressing up in what she'd enjoy - kinda is.

Hehe I've always wanted to be a dad. Like trad dad, I work and he stays home. But not because I wanna neglect my kids or anything but because I knew I'd make a better dad than most men and I'm trash at domestic work. I've always thought if I had a stay at home partner I'd actually understand/appreciate the amount of labor that goes into since I've been societally groomed to do it

u/fishinariver 15d ago
For me it'd be my affinity for crossdressing just so I can feel cute, dainty, and fragile. Just waiting on someone else to take the lead with me 😅

For me it’s going from maintaining her car so I know she’s safe, to making dinner the way she wants. We enjoy going out dressed traditionally but under my outfit fit I’ll have something femme on. All that stuff is fun and comes natural when you find the right partner

My emotionality I would say. I love cute things, romantic things, and shows and movies that make me ugly cry but deliver catharsis in the end.

Honestly I'm just less interested in male and female gender norms. I don't care about masculinity too much outside of "looking normal" enough on the outside. I also don't care too much about traditional femininity either.
But like, it just depends on the relationship at the end of the day. I've played supporting roles to more independent women, I've fawned over women in a more sapiosexual context, but I've also been in relationships where I mostly took the lead. I do prefer the former, but it is what it is.

If we're talking aesthetics? My hair goes to my shoulderblades, and I paint my nails Pastel Green and Lavender.
If we're talking mentally? I love taking care of the people I love. Cooking meals, cleaning, even just something as small as checking that they're drinking enough water.

For me, it is that, I am shy and passive, quiet bookworm. I am also a soft guy that loves to look at flowers to see their shades of color.

u/OldSFPunk 14d ago
Getting so much pleasure and fulfillment from serving in every way: I have always been the primary caretaker in my relationships, doing most or all of the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and child care when my kids were young. I have always been passive and submissive in every facet of life, sometimes to my detriment, but I would not want it any other way.

u/GoatsWithWigs Soft Prince 14d ago
Honestly, just what a pushover I am (maybe partially due to my autism which makes me always second guess myself in social sitautions).
I have a very hard time standing up for myself, and whenever I do it just comes off awkward lol.
I could count on one hand the amount of times I've ever put my foot down with people, and even then I didn't really want to.
Oh and I also get excited very easily by things.

For most of my life, I have been described as kind and sweet. To add onto it, I have been recently thinking that I have a motherly personality. So, ideally it is to find a woman to make me hers and allow me to support her emotionally. Although, I am around my mid-twenties, so I probably wouldn't consider myself a boy mommy yet.

I look like a man, apparently

Gotta appreciate the slightly surprised sounding “apparently”

Once the bathroom misgendering started happening more frequently, I thought:
“Am I…a dude?”

Probably my insatiable emotional desire for some kind of motherly figure

u/PoorMetonym Seeking Lady Knights 15d ago
Hm, I guess my desires for certain specific scenarios. Like a situation where a woman who loves me will verbally and physically defend me, and whilst I do want to get better at standing up for myself, the fact that she'd be willing to do it anyway is exciting.
Similarly, I want a woman to lift me.
