Well, if femininity is about feeling beautiful all the time when one wears make up, high heels, has their eyebrows plucked, wears skirts, carries hand bags around constantly and doesn't play sports, then NO.

To tell you the truth, I don't know. Most of the time, I feel like myself. I'm not extremely girly, but I'm girly enough to wear makeup and the occasional accessories. I don't wear heels, dresses, or fancy panties. I prefer wearing my dark purple lipstick and big, nerdy glasses.

This is something I suppose I've thought a bit about recently with the whole thing that my friends are more socially mature than I am and are all into boys and make-up and all the things most sixteen year old girls are into. I was thinking after my mum bout me school shoes with an inch high heel in them, an they were pretty but afterwards I know I'll just feel awkward an weird just like I do when people put make-up on me. I want to feel pretty and Girly but I really just don't. Whether this is all just rubbish confidence I don't know but anyone else thik like this!

I'm VERY girly. I dress girly, I do my hair and makeup just about everyday, and I like a lot of girly things. I have my moments where I act or think like a boy, but every girl has those moments at least once in a while.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I wear makeup but I mainly wear jeans and a nice top or t-shirt.

Perhaps I should clarify a bit and be at bit more detailed. The majority of the time, no. I'll occasionally wear a black skirt, or some sort of dress. The dress is either black or black and purple plaid. I wear Tripp Pants with pink plaid on them(they're black). I do black eyeshadow and black nail polish. I wear jewelry(sometimes dog collars). So I guess I'm feminine in my own way but not feminine in the classic, OMG way.

About not being interested in boys.

You could be asexual/lesbian.

But also, it could be that the typical NT teenager your age is not the kind of boy you need. You could try looking at older men, and see if you are attracted more.

I'm a dude, but i knew a young aspie girl that functioned like that.

...OR you might just not be interested in 'dating' and having a relationship at the moment...OR you might no be allowed for religious or familial reasons; that's my own thesis.

The intention was to talk about things that are potentially unclear.

These things "asexual/lesbian/Queer/notMetRightGuy" can be very similar at the beginning.

It depends. My feelings are linked to my mood, and I only feel feminine when I wear something I really like.

Even then I'm not sure I do, I look forward to wearing pretty things but I don't necessarily feel good in them. But then that may be thanks to confidence.

I kind of feel the same way. Up until I was about 13 I never ever cared about appearance, fashion or anything. But time after time I kept getting confused for a boy, and that really hurt me after awhile. So now I feel like I need to try my best to look like a girl and now I feel ugly without make up on. But whatever I wear (dress, skirt, nice shirt, t shirt, anything) I feel I just don't look good in or am not comfortable. I usually just end up wearing sweatpants or pajama pants with a jacket almost everyday.

Much to the dismay of my mom, I don't act feminine (yet I will go crazy over a cute purse). Aside from my purse thing, nah. I'm that son that my dad never had.

Once a month I feel feminine. Don't particularly like it either. My mom told me that when I was five being tomboyish was cute but it isn't anymore when you're 13.
I don't care though I would rather get my darling chinchillas a new cage then get myself a pair of 150 dollar jeans or shoes.
