Re: How feminine is too feminine?
So it makes one a sissy to sing love songs to Jesus? Try reading the Psalms. Song Of Solomon. John leaned on his breast? Male or female should be loving him with all our heart, soul,mind, and strength!
We are going to be the bride of Christ. And yet we are also SOLDIERS OF CHRIST. So yes I oppose a feminine look and attitude in men tho I have not met many of these.
I see more females with a mannish look where I live here in Southern Ky.

Where have all the real men gone?
How feminine is too feminine and when does a guy with an intentional lisp fall under this portion of scripture?
The effeminate shall not enter the kingdom of God.

Honestly,
I have noticed what you have noticed.
Some of these folks may have unresolved issues, some may not.
It's best to not assume anything and if you are a male yourself, go out of your way to befriend them and to fellowship with them.
Create opportunities for fellowship with these guys.
You never know-- you may be the one Holy Spirit filled friend that's real enough for them to be real with you. Then, you can help them walk in deliverance.
Of course, this advice is only offered to you if you genuinely care for the souls of the guys you're criticizing. Unfortunately, many saved folks don't.

Ummm... let's face it. Many of our worship songs are very "sissy" compared to Psalms of David when David sings about God destroying the enemy on the hills of Jerusalem.
While I really like the following song... it's very feminine in my opinion...

I think the further North you go, the more feminine men you'll find. My previous pastor's style was "metro", a very tamed down market place male style. I do admit, you guys do have some manly women down south. lol
As for John leaning on Christ's breast... in ancient times they sat on the floor and reclined around the table. Men ate with men, women with women. Often, the best friend or family member belonging to the head of the table would recline upon his chest when having a more private conversation. In their culture it was a very masculine thing to do.
The point is... in many mainstream churches to day being "manly" is out... being tamed, styled, and metro is in. One of the music ministers in my local church made my "gay-dar" go on high alert. The dude was thin, very soft spoken, held his "L's" like a girl, glimmering eyes, almost looked like eye lashes, and danced lick a chick. I thought he was gay for sure. Then he married. I pray to God it wasn't to cover his true disposition. But the dude is more woman than man.

Re: How feminine is too feminine?
I knew a person who was born a hermaphrodite
the parents decided to surgically make this person a female
Dawn grew up and excelled in Sports, became a cop, and is about as masculine as a person could be, with one minor detail
how would you dictate gender to this person?

David never danced with too much skin showing. lol. That is from the false popular concept that he danced in his underwear. He danced in a linen ephod. A PRIEST'S GARMENT.
Anyway, off topic. Carry on.

Re: How feminine is too feminine?
I don't know how much "feminine" it takes to be too feminine, but girly men grate on my nerves. It's hard to quantify, but some things that get me:
a prissy walk
wrists bent like this Limp_Wrist.jpg
passive or weak behavior
drama...from men
whining
indecisiveness
too much interest in fashion, e.g., metrosexual
lack of interest in women/failure to commit to relationships
Most of these things are subjective and we could argue them one way or the other, but most of us--especially women--know a girly man when we see one. Gay or not, a lack of testosterone is unattractive.
