Are you a girly-girl?

Post Reply New Topic

Not exactly. I like ballet flats and bright colorful tops, though.

I think it is easy for non girly-girls to negatively judge people who are girly girls. I think everyone should just sort of be into what they are into, but try not dislike someone because of a stereotype. I know it can make you sound cool to be like "I'm so not a girly girl and I hate pink and never wear dresses" but being sort of a girly girl myself I don't see what is so shameful about it.

I'm not very girly. I prefer trousers to dresses and t-shirts to blouses. On the comfort/style spectrum, comfort wins out every time, so no impractical shoes for me. I wear my hair short and spiked. It's less hassle and suits me better.

I can be versatile if I have to, but I definitely prefer gender and age neutral clothing.

I have absolutely nothing to had to the conversation, I just wanted to bring up, that my wife and I went to Stratford-on-Avon in Ontario, Canada for the Shakespeare festival, and one of the plays we say was "Music Man" . It was a wonderful production, I can't see how people can act, sing, and dance with everybody staring at you for like three hours. Will anyways, in the play, the "bad guy" calls the (female) librarian "girly-girl" as if there is something wrong with that, I got the biggest kick out of it.

There's a song the Beatles did a cover of from that play, would have to Google it, but the two leads did such a wonderful job of it. "Since I met you" maybe? Now that song will be going thru my head all day.

I have always felt the most comfortable wearing pants and a t-shirt, polo, or a nice dress shirt. I have only worn a dress a few times in my life. I don't like wearing panty hose and dislike showing my bare legs. Panty hose make me itch too much. I do paint my fingers nails every once in awhile. I wear very little makeup. One is foundation because my skin has allot of blemishes. The other is eye liner. Eyeliner because a friend in high school said I should always wear it because it makes my eyes stand out. I do wear ear rings, I usually wear the same pair for along time before I put a different pair in. I like to wear a light weight necklace. And the same as ear rings , I rarely put a different one on. So, based off this self analyses I would have to conclude that I'm not a girly girl.

to be fair, the negative attitude has always been towards non girly girls,not towards girly girls,as society has always had very strict boundaries of what each gender can wear,do,eat,think etc without being considered not a man or a woman.

girly girls who are blonde haired do get a lot of crap though, and girly girls may get crap because some girls can be jealous of them and have low self esteem but there isnt the same apalling attitude towards them like there has always been towards the non girly girl.

a non girly girl is automaticaly assumed to be gay/bi or transgender,they can be called a male [in an innocent mistake way and a abusive way] if they have their hair very short,they cant do anything that goes outside of their biological genders stereotypes without facing scorn from everyone.

am severely autistic and trans gender but because of level of autism and having intelectual disability am unable to understand gender differences or gender boundaries and without this level of disability feel no doubt woud be FtM tg ,have started the very long process of getting this horrible chest removed but because of impact from disabilities doc thinks its body dysmorphic disorder and not gender dysphoria/TGism,this body part has felt alien to self ever since they started growing,they feel like a foreign body or tumour;ie something not natural to self, dont know if this is how FtM TGs woud see it or if this is a product of disabilities, a lot of people think am like this because of being a 'tom boy' which have always been called.

nah i'm pretty androgynous, to the point that i get mistaken for gay. i like men's clothes and cut my hair short. i like traditionally male interests and activities, e.g., guns, fishing, 4-wheeling, etc. (and computers, video gaming, etc.) I'm somewhat "handy." yet i have no end of interest in the opposite sex LOL. although they usually are put off when I am "too direct" (another behavior reserved for the male of the species) /shrugs

one time and one time only have a met a sexy strong man who wasn't put off by my lack of interest in hair, make-up nails, fashion, shaving certain body parts, etc. most relationships i've been in, it's become a problem, but i tend to get involved with very controlling men due to my own issues i'm sure. as i get older i get less and less interested in faking it to make someone else happy. thank god for middle age. i hope to make myself much happier in the decades to come.

not that i have a problem with girly-girls. i like to look at them. i enjoy looking at anyone who is fashion-forward, actually, male or female. i think it's cool. it's just not me and i'm fine with that. there's room in my world for all of us.

I am not actually a girly-girl, per se.

That's something I should try and remember more often
I'm pretty judgmental towards the whole girly-stuff thing.
But then again I have a lot of issues with gender.

Not really. I hate wearing makeup and doing my hair. I also hate getting dressed up and wearing fancy clothes and heels.

I'm not really a girly-girl, I'm an Aspie girl.
