To me, "macho" brings to mind a picture of the swaggering white guy (perhaps italian) with the "I can crush a beer can on my skull, I'm so cool" mentality...the kind that wears leisure suits and struts down the road to Bee Gee's music.
Womanly to me, suggests the matronish type of personality, baking cookies and home when you get home from school type, wearing an apron and keeping a tidy house.
So, 70's on the macho thing, 50's on the womanly thing.

I guess that's subjective, hey? I see womanly as a lady who is very curvy, has long hair, smells good and wiggles when she walks.....like you, cougar.....
Macho, to me, is pretty close to the first half of your description...although, usually having a goatee and wearing a leather vest, not a leisure suit....
these are just physical manifestaitions, though.
perth could be macho in his sweater....who can say?
I meet a lot of different people in my line of work, and I'll tell you, most of the physically macho looking guys are the biggest mama's boys.
macho is a state of mind. womanly is a state of mind.
