GUYS DO YOU PREFER GIRLY-GIRL FEMALES OR A BIT BOYISH?

    I've wondered this myself a lot. I tend to be kind of a tomboy. I think I have been friend zoned by many guys for being too tomboyish and coming off strong. I mean I like to dress in jeans and t-shirts (actually that's what I have to wear in my current job), but I also like wearing nicer more feminine clothes and doing my hair and makeup. I don't wear alot of jewerly but do keep my toe nails painted and wear toe rings that never come off. I have an ankle tat that is totally feminine (butterflys and flowers). I wear makeup pretty much everyday. I drive a pickup truck but that is just what I like to drive. I have had cars in the past but prefer either a truck or an SUV.
    But I also enjoy alot of outdoor activities and have no problems doing such chores as mowing and weedeating, stacking wood, etc. I was raised on a farm and growing up girl or boy you helped stack wood, pickup hay, work in the garden, etc. I also enjoy shooting guns but never had the desire to hunt. I enjoy motorcycle riding but want to ride with my man not have my own bike. I do enjoy fishing and riding four wheelers as well.
    I have been told that I am not soft enough. I mean I try to let a man be a man, but if he isn't going to do something and it's something I can do or know how to do then I'll do it myself (lifting and carrying things, mowing, etc.).
    I don't work on cars (other than maybe add air to the tires or change the wiper blades or add fluid) and I don't do remodeling projects. I will hang a blind and probably could manage to change a faucet but reflooring and redoing walls, installing doors, etc is best left to a man. lol
    Part of my problem may just be that I was single until I was in my late 20s and lived on my own so I learned to do things for myself. Then after my divorce, I once again started doing everything for myself. I mean that's pretty much just what you do when you are single. You either do it or you figure out a way to have someone else do it. I'm not made of money so I mow my own lawn, detail my own vehicle, etc. I will pay for remodeling projects or have my dad or brother-in-law do them if they are available, but if I can do it then I do.

    every guy likes exactly the same type of woman.






    ok seriously.

    You are who you are. Love that person. If you connect with a man who loves that person too, you are golden. To try and be anyone else, for the sake of getting a guy, will be doing yourself and him an injustice. You will be misleading him if you do that, and that is fair to no one.

    If he doesn't love you for you, then he's not the right one for you. Wait to find the guy who appreciates you as you are, and you'll BOTH be exceedingly happy.

    Sometimes I can't even decide what I want for dinner and now I am supposed to decide what type of female body type and personality I prefer? Oh lawd.

    Can I phone a friend?

    lol I feel this way when asked what type of guy I like. I've had at least one guy tell me that he had been told he wasn't my type. I was like and how do they know what my type is because I'm not even totally sure. :huh:

    There has to be a balance, for me. She can like video games, kung fu movies, picking things up and putting them down, but is capable of being an elegant female if need be.

    Hi :love:

    Unless she's got her own adventure motorcycle or sailboat I'm not interested. I want a friend who can keep up with me, not some high maintenance trophy.

    Of course if you want to go to a special dinner and dress for it by all means, I'll wear a suit and a tie too. But that's the exception....

    I'd be as tomboyish as you all care to be. You've got my respect.

    OP, you're not going to get one straight answer on this.

    Like women, all men have different preferences. If you like one type of guy, that does not mean another woman will like the same type just because you share a gender. Different strokes for different folks!

    Personally, I think both girly-girls and tomboys can be extremely sexy. If you're confident in who you are, that should be all that matters. Don't let someone else's opinion of you determine your self worth.

    What she said!!

    I'm sure this has been said (I haven't read the replies) but don't change who you are just to attract, or keep a male. You find someone who likes you the way you are, you don't change to find someone.

    I drink beer, played ruby, mountain bike, lift heavy, go camping, fishing, etc. I rarely wear makeup, do my hair, or wear heels. My husband always dated very "girly-girls" in the past and found my interests more of a match to his.

    But Balance combined with good self esteem and a passion to live and try almost anything are what I like

    I never thought I had a type, until I met the guy I am with. I've never been with anyone like him... and everything about him makes him my type. I cannot imagine myself being with anyone else.

    I never met a guy who cared either way, as long as she's nice.

    I like a girl who can wrestle sharks then whisper sweet nothings in my ear, but not directly after said shark wrestling.

    Never thought I'd get points for shark wrestling! :laugh: I don't do sweet though.

    I like women who have vaginas.

    Does it matter if they eat brains?
    Not as much as it should.

    Even if we say we prefer one thing or another, we'd just be argued with.

    Can't I just say, neither, and both...and leave it at that.

    I like a woman who is confident. A woman can be either.

    I don't think I've ever met a guy who would be opposed to a woman sharing similar interests as him. I think it depends on the guy if he even cares. My current relationship has been the most successful because we share so many common interests: NASCAR, video games, action/sci-fi movies; "guy" sports. I still do girly things like get my nails and hair done, and go shopping but it's how I treat myself.

    I find that mentality is an old-fashioned one. I was a goth tomboy growing up and when I got to high school my mother threw out my clothes and bought me tons of flowery/girly dresses. She said it's was young ladies should wear :grumble:. It became a habit. One that I no longer have because I couldn't give a f* :smile:

    Do what makes YOU happy.

    It depends on the woman, preferably someone who can manage both.

    I've always been attracted to tom-boy type girls really. I do like them to be "girly" sometimes.
