male gaze is about looking hot, showing much skin in order to look “fuckable“, wether the portrayed person is male or female. female gaze is mostly about beauty, aesthetic or maybe even conveying a certain message by a specific look
Huh I have a friend that has massive, absolutely MASSIVE crushes on two women and now I've searched up this random person, all these three people have smile cheekbone things ig that's a thing lesbians like maybe
I wouldn't even say beauty so much as character. Things that aren't typically beautiful still fall under the female gaze. For example I have a hand that was broken quite badly and is now a little misshapen as a result. Women LOVE that hand. Not because it's beautiful (it's not) or because it makes me look tough or hot (it doesn't) but because it makes me interesting and shows that I've lived life a bit.
@@Jane-oz7pp makes sense. A lot of women also love tattoos, piercings, weird haircuts and other stuff that's not beautiful in the usual sense of the word but more on the interesting and also edgy side
Female gaze prioritises makeup and fakeups lmao . No offence but the positives is also there they actually highlight the character or personality of a person .
The Gaze, in general, regardless of if it's female, male, or queer is about desire and commodifying the ideal. Male gaze on men: desire of power and selling the masculine ideal. Male gaze on women: desire of sexual conquest or sexual fantasies. Female gaze on women: desire of independence whilst retaining beauty and selling the feminine ideal. Female gaze on men: desire of worship or romantic fantasies. This is why, often, in the female gaze, you'll rarely see shirtless 6-packs, but rather more focus on subtly. It's about the fact that the man is in desperate love with the love interest, not how hot he is. Queer gaze differs depending on identity but generally the same concept. What queer people desire in their own relationships and what they find to be their ideals of masculinity or feminity, which is outside of hetero standards. Sorry for the long post. Figured I'd help clarify what the gaze is all about.
Female gaze prioritizes sex appeal too, even more than the male gaze. The male gaze prioritizes masculinity, and the female gaze prioritizes a more "feminine" look.
For those who are confused. I think this is the perfect portray for all of the "gaze". The male gaze is what men actually enjoy in other people for example: young girls looking seductive (reflecting their sexual desire toward people like that) and muscular aggressive men (reflecting what they admire in other men). The female gaze refleting what women like, for example an aesthetic of a woman looking strong and somewhat dominace, a symbol of feminism is what they admire. Or a gentle, caring loving man as Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. Since I'm not a gay man or a lesbian so I'm not entitled to explain the last 2 but the idea is very similar. What gay men and women like about a gay relationship is very different from what straight men and women like
But women like Henry Cavill or Chis Heamsworth, they like tall, muscular, dominant and masculine men. And women like other women like Cardi b Nicky Minaj Beyonce or that people when they twerk and are half naked and sexualize themselves saying yessss queen 💋💋 And men like gentle and caring women too. Both men and women have a sexual gaze and a romantic gaze.
this video is so out of touch hey. its actually funny when women try to tell people what gay people like when theyre literally clueless on what we actually like
Male gaze means dressing a specific way (usually showing a lot of skin or wearing skin tight clothes but not always) to draw the attention of men. Female gaze is dressing a specific way (usually less tight/ revealing and more “artistic”/ aesthetic but again, not always) to garner the attention of women. That’s the difference. If you’re confused looking a picture just as yourself “which demographic would like this look more?” The answer is likely whatever gaze they’re dressed for (though keep in mind it doesn’t mean people are constantly dressing for the attention of others and they are likely just wearing what they wanted to wear regardless. Don’t just assume everyone is dressing for others)
Male gaze: will prioritize sex appeal most of all (sexy for women, and wealth and strength for men) Female gaze: will prioritize the character's emotions, the intimacy and respect (for example, in the video, you have Zendaya who we all pretty much like, who's in a nice looking dress that doesn't sexualize her, and then you have the famous Mr.Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, who's character is probably why women have such high standards for men lol)
@@JennyferPepin men like sex appeal but like character emotions too. Women the same, don't matter your character's emotions and respect if you're short, ugly or broke. Men like Zendaya in a sexy pic or in a pic with a dress, don't matter because they find her attractive, same with Mr Darcy, if he were short or ugly no women will like him 😂
female gaze is more aesthetically pleasing and male gaze is usually overly feminine(focus on round shapes) or overly masculine(focus on muscles). Female gaze is more about beauty and soul while male gaze is more about lust and physics.
Y'all here in the replies, male and female gaze is just what they are called. It doesn't literally mean all men and women see things through only the male and female gaze. It's just a label given to a perspective. It's like masculine and feminine. Not all women are feminine, and not all men are masculine. If you don't even understand this, I don't know how else to explain it to you.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i was watching so carefully trying to understand the difference but when you said these are male gays 😂😂 omg lol😂😂 and then "but this...this is the gay male gaze" 😂😂😂😂😂 omfg 😂😂
Male gaze prioritizes accentuated proportions even to the extent of looking inhuman and uncanny valley, which is why they find roided body builders and women with lots of plastic surgery (filled lips, bbls, breast implants) attractive. Female gaze is all about being harmonious and confident. We can like a natural aesthetic or a really flamboyant one provided that the person feels and looks confident in it. Roided bodies and excess plastic surgery just scream insecurity to us.
@@MunchySpice even gay men like caricaturish-ly thin waif like women (most males in the fashion industry are gay). They also find huge roided males attractive, hence the bear aesthetic.
If the subject is male and looks approachable/soft or the female subject in the picture looks powerful, then it's the female gaze. And vice versa. I guess everyone wants to feel powerful but expects the opposite sex (assuming that you're hetero or bi) to give off a welcoming vibe.
That's honestly a great way to break it down in simple terms. But with the female gaze, women can also be portrayed as soft/approachable so long as they are not portrayed as hypersexual. For example, we see this with the girl's girl trope. The girl's girl is approachable and soft. I think the main thing is that with the male gaze both women and men are physically, sexually enticing. Whereas with the female gaze, you can be a hot woman/man, but that is not the main focal point for the plot of the story.
It's the expression of the eyes, I hear you. As someone who draws and writes stories being specific to how you describe the eyes helps create context and invokes emotion 🥰🥰💗
I liked that movie because something felt strangely nostalgic about it. I'm a straight woman and never had a gay love affair on holiday 😂 it just had that relaxed vibe to it though
Put it in this way male watching life in natural way while female watch the world where its not real like make up eye lashes extra things that not natural... Fine i understand
@@AlexanderNayebinope, it's a female gaze if you notice those themes most come up in female movies like chick flicks and princess movies such as Snow White.
Uhh the female gaze is accurate only for zendaya to me, idk about the rest they aren’t what I’d consider in my own female gaze. Also call me by your name is really weird now that I’m 19 and not a 14 year old who thought that was okay

You’re wrong. The true gay male gaze is looking up “is [not gay actor] gay?” At 2am.
What they really should be looking up is how to talk/text said actor to get a chance with them in the first place
is Danny DeVito gay?

No, the female gaze is looking at Zendaya and thinking "her hair is so cute, I love that dress".
As a woman who is attracted to men, I agree that Call Me by Your Name is definitely for women attracted to men. At least it is for this woman.
Female and male gaze are film techniques.
