I did not mention thicker fuller lips as a sign of femininity because I cannot recall having read any descriptions to that effect - unlike the other features I mentioned. Having said that i wonder if the larger lip-to-face surface area ratio is important for femininity. Women have smaller faces - a feature that is accentuated by fuller hair. The woman who invites more (male) attention (and female irritation) is the one who fluffs up her hair around her head rather than one who ties it all back. But this is not apparent in the picture. So the lips possibly play a bigger role. Attractiveness and femininty are also indicated by the effects of estrogen - i.e. A full, thick head of hair and breasts. And the hips of course. The wide hips promising a wide pelvic birth canal And I can't resist this one.. Doctor: "Big breaths!" Patient: "Yeth. And I'm only thixthteen!" shiv
