As humans, we all have masculine and feminine qualities within us ~ we also have the immature and mature version of both. Below is a list of what qualities are embodied by all four, as sourced from "Relationship Tantra" by Andrew Barnes (published by Awakening Within Foundation): Immature Masculine – Competitive, Separation, Ego-centric, Self-serving, Boisterous, Arrogant, Emotionally detached, Motivated by self-serving interests, Insecure, Identifies with material possessions Mature Masculine – Present, Man on a mission, Heart-centered, Focused, Determined, Seeks collaboration & community, Motivation for mission is for the highest good of humanity, Emotionally intelligent Immature Feminine– Bitchy, Gossipy, Jealous of other women, Needs validation from external sources, Low self worth, Ego-centric, Seductive – uses sexuality to manipulate others and get attention Mature Feminine – Present, Nurturing, Empowering of other women, Surrendered and fluid, Emotionally intelligent, Self fulfilled and oozing self-love, Sensual, Confident in sexual energy, Motivated by heart & what will be of benefit to others, Whole. So as you can see – either a man or a woman can be operating out of either energy. I know many older women who are still operating in the immature masculine & feminine energies – I also know many men who are operating from the immature feminine & masculine energies. And vice versa.
