    Butch (easy part):

    -thanks to working in restaurants or pizza places with mostly menfolk, I can take any masochistic remark you throw at me, and I probably laugh at way too many of them ;)
    -Most of my friends or roommates are/have been guys (me talking to a girl usually ends up feeling like a bad date you can't wait to leave)
    -my perfect weekend: Saturday- college football, Sunday- NFL (E-A-G-L-E-S!)- my dad is my sports buddy and we always text during the Iggs/Phils games :smile:
    -I prefer hard outdoor work to sitting inside painting my nails (which I haven't done since the 9th grade)
    -I LOVE scotch- no girlie appletinis for me thanks!

    Femme (uhhh....):

    -I enjoy dressing up and going out (though I think I more enjoy the contrast of rocking work boots and then cleaning up with a nice pair of heels)
    -I wear makeup (though really, it's only bc my bf requested to see it sometimes, and I figured it couldn't hurt if we were going somewhere nice lol)
    -I discovered I enjoy pedicures
    -I love my thick, wavy hair and love to wear it down and show it off
    -I get cuddly (gasp!) with my bf, who enjoys it too. My sisters and I joke about how I usually am reluctant to cuddle, I seem to date guys who love it.

    Femme

    * Love nothing more than to get dolled up in a dress and stupidly high heels that I can't really walk in
    * Pink, anything that I can have in pink, I have in pink
    * My nails are always painted
    * I don't burp or 'fart' in front of people, don't really see the need
    * I never leave the house without mascara on my lashes, not even for the gym

    Butch

    * Love Liverpool FC, even wear a footie top whenever possible
    * Very rarely wear skirts/dresses on a day to day basis, not even sure I've worn one this year as yet
    * I love watching Top Gear
    * Regularly drink pints, why go to the bar twice as much as you need to?
    * I can't cook for toffee

    Femme:

    1. My nails are ALWAYS done.
    2. My bathroom cupboards look like the inside of my closest Bath & Body Works store.
    3. I wear rhinestones when I go out. If it doesn't sparkle, neither do I.
    4. I wear heels ALOT because they make my legs look fantastic.
    5. I love candlelight, and have a collection of different sizes and scents around at all times.

    Butch:

    1. I have NO problem stepping on a copperhead with a pair of boots and chopping it's head off with a shovel. I even think its cool to poke the head afterward with a stick... It will keep trying to bite for up to 15 minutes!
    2. I could spend every day (AND my yearly paycheck) in a Home Depot if I didn't have to use it for everything else, like bills and food. Lol
    3. When the Texas Longhorns are playing, I'm usually screaming at the TV louder than any men nearby.
    4. I can fix a toilet, digup and repair plumbing lines, sand and varnish floors, use a circular saw, and have my own collection of power tools. If I can learn and do it myself, I will.
    5. I'd rather drive a truck than anything else. Period.
    6. I would rather camp (tent, sleeping bag, and a flashlight) and fish, than stay in any hotel or resort you can think of.

    Edited to add: I found the more Butch qualities to be easier to think of, too!

    7. When I go out, I drink tequila straight. No girlie salt, lime, and chasers for me!

    I can't cook or bake without a recipe.
    I burp like a champ.
    I can change my tires, do an oil change, and I know that when my car won't start if I smack the start motor with a wrench it'll probably go.
    I like to spend weeks at a time camping. (No shower, no makeup, no toilet.)
