I'm actually 67, I just look 28.
What a coincidence!

I couldn't agree more, we really do have different tastes. But that's to be expected, we're geared towards different criteria.
Whenever women are asked to rate other female celebrities in terms of attractiveness, they have a tendency to choose women who have 'masculine' traits - strong, confident, independent, successful, etc.
'I think Jessie J looks beautiful with her shaven head' is a statement that very few men have uttered.

Like Vod from Fresh Meat. <3 <3 <3
But the less said about Jessie J the better. 
Well here is someone who is strong, confident, independent in a proper way (not just a pop star in a quirky outfit talking bollocks with a huge amount of misplaced self confidence).
51 year old Michelle Yeoh. For me the most beautiful woman in the world today, and has held that title (by my reckoning) for at least 20 years. She also does most her own stunts which I find quite hot. Great actress, works in many different genres (not just martial arts), intelligent, speaks several languages, physically tough without being masculine in any way, works all over the world without just pursuing Hollywood.
My favourite woman ever.
Jeebus, never would have guessed she was 51. She's ace.

Yes, because a weak, needy, insecure failure is the very heart of femininity. 
Surely what this thread shows is that we all have very different tastes. That is the beauty of evolution - there really is someone for everyone.

Our good friend Mr. Wiki says about feminine traits: 'gentleness, empathy, sensitivity, caring, sweetness, compassion, tolerance, nurturance, deference, and succorance'.
Both men and women can exhibit masculine and feminine traits. All I was pointing out was that we have a tendency to look for certain traits in a potential partner and that women rate other women's attractiveness based on their masculine traits.

I have never heard that word before.
I am yet to see an article where being independent, confident and successful are synonymous with masculinity.

Just go on Google and type in 'Alpha Male Traits'. A three second search is all it takes to find the answers to things.
All of the articles about the 'strong independent woman who is confident and successful' are based on a fairly recent media creation. Hijacking masculine traits and renaming them as gender neutral is certainly a trend. It might be a good thing, it might be about time, but they are qualities that have been used to typify male behaviours.
