    Manly:

    1. I LOVE boobs
    2. I love Thrash Metal. Or any other sub genre of Metal that feels like an injection of pure testosterone. My boyfriend and I were discussing this when we were watching Metal Evolution, because the topic was "girlfriend-friendly" bands, and none of them were me-friendly. I hate girlfriend-friendly bands because it's like watered-down Metal. This includes Glam Metals and most ballads.
    3. I like Rush. Suggested Rush to a female friend once and her reply was "Do they have any ballads?" (back to the ballads, my most hated type of song in Rock) I almost laughed at her and then I realized that was a serious question.
    4. I can out-burp my boyfriend any day.
    5. I curse like a man and I'm not afraid to be vulgar.

    Womanly:

    1. I hate worms
    2. I have boobs (which I play with often)
    3. I like Cher
    4. I take great care of hair and I am willing to spend hours on it
    5. I like purple.

    It was actually quite a bit more difficult to think of 5 ways in which I'm womanly. :laugh:

    ETA: I'm fine with any other type of bugs, but worms are really gross, so I don' like them.

    Femme:
    1. I wear eyeliner all day erry day, but I almost never apply actual makeup...for the skin, you know. Foundation and whatnot, lol (this is from the person who had to ask my freshman science teacher what the hell a "perm" was...it was on my chemical reactions test...everyone in the room stared at me since the teacher felt the need to speak in a loud voice...still don't know what it is haha).
    2. Uhh write poetry....and I read? I can't pick out very femme features to be honest so I'll just say whatever from here on out. Does it matter that I read books like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter? I like blue and black...uh...and a nice shade of crimson.
    3. I love movies...but not chick flicks...I've never watched the Notebook or movies like that...uh, crap, lol. I use a lot of emoticons when texting xD Sometimes I'm a Grammar Nazi...I love acting.
    4. I sometimes cry randomly, like at a commercial or whenever anyone dies in a movie. Sometimes I think about someone close to me dying or myself dying and I weep like a b i t c h lol.
    5. I love art and drawing, apparently I have a habit of biting my lip when I'm thinking or nervous...in a way that's usually reserved for girls trying to appear sexy~ ha

    I honestly can't think of femme things right now...I'll probably know right after I post this haha. XD

    Butch:
    1. I grew up on a farm, I was always outside exploring nature and going in the swamps on my property with my dog, and also I never played with Barbie dolls...I love my Hot Wheels ;) and badass remote control Jeeps...I'm the kid who looks around for critters like bugs and snakes with the boys and scare girls with them.
    2. I've never worn a skirt. You read that right. And I've only worn a dress a couple times in my life. I go to school wearing skate shoes/Converse high tops, plaid, a band shirt, and a plaid/Zumiez jacket. Also, I LOATHE pink. Ugh. *shudder* Oh and high heels? Just no, never tried them. My hair is fairly short as well. Never had a manicure/pedicure either.
    3. I have a well instead of city water so I grew up with one bath per week...and even today I go a few days without showering...beat you there, buddy boy. ;) Also I wear Axe deodorant...hey, the women's stuff just does NOT work, okay? Oh and sometimes I use men's shampoo...and occasionally borrow my bro's cologne...............hey, wtf, he doesn't use it xDDD
    4. I have played soccer for a decade since I was 5 years old. I am currently getting into skateboarding...I also play video games like Zelda and Assassin's Creed. I love sci-fi, horror movies, and Star Wars...enough said. In addition, I take around 10 minutes to get ready to go out...
    5. I walk on the outside of the sidewalk so that my friend/s are on the inside, a courtesy usually taken up by a guy (kind of stupid, since if a car was to swerve to the sidewalk we'd all be screwed, but whatevs), and I lend girls my jacket if they're complaining about how cold it is, because I'm very considerate....LOL jk I just want them to shut up. :P I also listen to Metal/dubstep, HATE rap/pop in general, hate Bieber, like 'man-chores', would go out and roast food over an open fire over trying to get the stove to work, and swear quite a bit...my guy friends always call me 'dude' and I hate it when some people try to correct them/themselves and say 'dudette' instead or 'heroine' instead of hero...ugh.

    Sorry for the extensive length of this reply xD
