The placement of Venus in your natal chart at the time of your birth can determine how we approach love and relationships. Are you flirtatious? Do you seek fairness and balance? Is your style passive or agressive?

With regards to your gender, Venus may filter through and be expressed by men and women differently. You see, men tend to "fight" their Venus. As a result, these energies that are displaced must be projected somewhere - and that is usually onto the women he admires.
