I am, in many respects, a product of my upbringing and culture. I was raised in a traditional Italian home, one where gender "roles" were very clearly defined. I suppose, for better or worse, that has influenced my ideas as to what constitutes "masculine" or "feminine" behavior. That is not to say that I am rigid or intolerant, or that I think anyone should be forced into a role they don't assign to themselves...its just that for me, personally, I find myself more attracted to partners who exhibit those traditional traits.
