Manly vs Metro, Femme vs Butch

Girly -

I like wearing dresses and skirts
I wear eyeliner and mascara
I have long hair
I like bath products
I read history books for fun
I am attracted to men

Not so girly -

I did marshal arts for years
I have no flight reaction, if someone challenges me, I FIGHT. Sometimes literally.
I have no interest shoes, handbags or underwear
I have actual negative interest in magazines or celebrity culture. I LOATHE it.
I am not that bothered about chocolate. I'll take it or leave it. I didn't eat it for 2 years once and didn't even notice until a friend asked me why I didn't eat chocolate. It hadn't occurred to me to.
I don't really understand women. I am completely upfront and straightforward, and get on far better with men. Say what you think, dammit! I can't bear social politics. I can't be bothered to play along.
I can't sew, I don't cry, ever, and I have no nesting instinct, I don't do housework unless absolutely forced. I also don't like girly films at all. I have totally male taste in films.

Manly,

I play beach volleyball
I can take a hard punch and can dish it out
I can be left in the wilderness with a machete and i would feel at home
I was a bartender and can do flare tricks
Punched a cop in the face once

Metro,

I love the show the hills
I do weekly "manscaping"
I am the cook at my house
I take care of the kids and keep a very clean house

1. I wear men's clothing more often than women's (only recently have I started to buy clothes from the women's section).
2. I carry a wallet rather than a purse (I hate purses, in fact)
3. I cannot understand the concept of needing more than about 5 pairs of shoes; anything more than 10 just seems out of control.
4. I cross my legs "guy style" rather than girl style unless I'm wearing a skirt, which is rare, and even then only if I remember
5. Although I actually do like looking at jewelry and I think I want to wear it, I very rarely wear any jewelry at all (and have never even had my ears pierced).

I do agree with this!
But.. im taking this as a laugh and nothing serious.

Towels. I'm a sucker for a good towel. I have thought about getting married, JUST so that I could register for some towels that I would never splurge on myself!

Register anyways, and send a link to your 'out of town' friends that would never show up.... have your fake wedding in Africa or Australia... where they would never go, and hope for them sending the gift via mail. Towels would just 'show up' at your door.

Then, a few months later, have a fake divorce. :laugh:
