Why do so many girls hate 'girly-girls'?

Question

I'm very feminine and I never understand why some girls hate us for this alone. I feel it is very narrow-minded and immature for people to judge girly-girls JUST for being feminine.

I just don't understand the reasoning behind this. What's to hate?

Yes, we like kitties, bunnies, pink, glitter, shopping, high heels, dresses, etc. But that doesn't make us unintelligent, spoiled, uncaring, or pompous.

I was just talking to a husband and wife in church today about the baby their expecting. They have three little boys, and don't know the sex of the new baby. I said that if it's a girl, I hope she grows up going hunting with her brothers and her dad. He wasn't impressed with that. I think it's awesome for a girl to grow up hunting and fishing with brothers or dads. He said he doesn't like that because it's not feminine, and hunting with his daughter is not his idea of a good time.

This turned me off as much as hearing about two guys in bed. He wife is very prissy, and is actually disgusting to me. Funny thing is, her mother is just as prissy, so both grandpa and son-in-law share the same taste in women.

I have hated prissy women for a very long time. I'm straight, but I like girls with short hair, who wear baseball caps, jeans, running shoes or hiking boots, T-shirts, and who couldn't care less about make-up. I like women who keep their nails the same as guys, and even drive pick-ups. I also like women who have bad hair days everyday, and don't care. I find it a big turn off when a woman fusses over her hair.

I worked with a woman in the factory years ago who carried a men's wallet in her back pocket. I asked her about it, and she said she decided to use a wallet for a month-long trip to Europe, and she found it so practical that when she came home, she decided not to go back to using a purse. I was very impressed with her lack of concern for what others thought of her for that, and for not being afraid of not looking feminine. I wish there were more women like that. I have also worked with a woman at the factory who keeps her nails like mine, never wears make-up (it wouldn't do anything for her anyway - she looks great without it), and drives a Dodge pick-up. I really hate prissy women.

They're just envious of you.

It's not girly-girls specifically. Not for me anyway. I don't get close with many women because I find most of them [in my experience] to be catty and dramatic and untrustworthy. As far as girly-girls go, it may be because many of them seem to more or less fit the same mold, and it goes way beyond being girly. It's more of a personality thing, like many seem to be the same TYPE of girl. And that 'type' of girl isn't one I generally get along with too well [I can get along with anyone, it's usually them who have no interest in getting along with me and start problems], nor one that I have a whole lot in common with. I can't relate to those girls, they're the kind who would never approach or befriend a girl who looks like I do, because they assume I'm a certain kind of way. I'm actually very sweet and friendly and all kinds of things they don't expect me to be. I'll talk to just about anyone. I make no assumptions about those girls until that kind of behavior confirms it for me, lol. I know and am really fond of several girls who are extremely girly, because while their looks and mannerisms and certain aspects of their personalities are super girly, they're not anything like the kind of girls I'm referring to.

I like girls who are compassionate, kind, funny, straight-up and honest, laid back, girls who try to avoid gossip and drama, who are loyal to their friends and would never stab them in the back. Girls like that can be girlie or tomboys or weird as f.uck or anywhere in between. All the girls I'm close with and have chosen to keep in my life, are girls who have shown themselves to be this kind of girl, despite their many differences. I've cut tons of other girls out of my life over the years.

Jealousy.

That's what it comes down to. First of all, it is foolish, unintelligent, and unrealistic to genuinely hate or even have a legitimate dislike for girlie girls that you have not gotten to know. So for some female to claim she hates them and persistently dislike some idea she has formed of them and applied to a bunch of strangers makes absolutely no sense at all. So the only thing that does actually make sense is that the female is simply confusing hate with sincere envy.

Not all girlie girls even like kitties, bunnies, pink, glitter, and ect.

I'm a girlie girl and I HATE PINK. The only shade of pink I like is that hot pink, the shade of an exotic flower from the jungle. That same pink used to sew beautiful Indian fabric on clothing and Moroccan material on curtains and bedspreads. I think some heels look fabulous and amazing, I might even buy a couple of pairs, yet I always find myself wearing sneakers or boots with no heel while my heels collect dust in my closet. Yeah, I like dresses but that's mainly because they really flatter my body and are perfect for lazy days where I just need to throw something on and go lol So you can't clump all girls who aren't unfeminine in one big generalization.

I don't hate girlie girls. I mean, if someone acts spoiled, vapid, and gossipy, then that's annoying, but I don't assume girls who have really feminine interests are like that unless their behavior indicates that they are. It's the same as with anyone else really.

They hate is because they're jealous because we're naturally beautiful and feminine and dress beautiful and feminine and all the men love and want us and they're ugly and not feminine and no men want them.

I wear glasses that are also very super bright pink. Everything I own and wear and all my houses and cars and everything in my houses and cars are very super bright pink. Even the cigarettes I smoke are very super bright pink. Men ak we always tell me I'm the most beautiful most feminine girl they've ever seen and I have the most beautiful hair eyes smile and face they've ever seen and that all the pink I wear and own my pink glasses and the pink cigarettes I smoke enhance my beauty and femininity and make me even more beautiful and feminine. by the way the picture of myself on my profile picture was taken at someone else's house.

Historically, feminine women are the symbolic equation of beauty in society's standards, as they are represented throughout the media, such as theater, fashion, and advertisement. Incidentally, fashion companies cater to feminine women as the majority of fashion designers design their lines and accessories with feminine women in mind.

Lastly, guys in general prefer them over the alternatives. The average educated successful or somewhat successful guy is likely going to choose a feminine woman as his partner. Femininity attracts masculinity. It's life.

Why do so many girls hate 'girly-girls'?

Likely due to negative stereotypes, bad experiences and basing that for general reactions, or disliking a common notion that girly-girls are what gals should be and should act like as they' feminine and some gals do not take well to be told by others, particularly males, what is feminine and what is not.

What's to hate?

The same things that is to hate about pretty much almost any type of gal as I find when it comes to gals there's very little that society doesn't hate as they're female.

I think you're misunderstanding the term "girly-girl" in the dating context. It's true that guys like girls who share similar male-affiliated interests but most guys still want their girl to be feminine. "Girly-girl" generally refers to a girl who fits female stereotypes. For example: A girl who gossips constantly or spends all of her money on clothes or make-up, a girl who is always grooming herself, a girl who is afraid to break a nail, a girl who is afraid to get dirty, etc.

Most guys hate the type of girl I'm describing. Nothing you've mentioned in "Yes, we like kitties, bunnies, pink, glitter, shopping, high heels, dresses, etc." would turn a significant amount of guys off.

pickledxtofu · Answer

Because girlie girls tend to be obnoxious and extreme and go out of their way to prove how girlie they are by overdoing it. While tomboys try too hard to prove they are one of the guy.

Guys aren't turned off by interests you've mentioned but for some reason some girls try to ride on those things and lack personality

RedThread · Answer

Hmm if anything I think it would be the notion that if a girl acts a certain way she's more feminine than another woman. Just because someone likes kitties or bunnies doesn't make a girl more feminine than a girl who is into sports and video games. It doesn't make a girl more or less appealing to guys on average.

I don't hate girly-girls. I'm simply not like them, and they are who they are.

I don't hate girlie girls. Actually, I don't hate people. I wish I had more girl-friends like that. All the girls in my group are tomboys. I usually have a tomboy attitude too sometimes, but I dress in a feminine way and I like dresses and cute clothes a lot. As for the women who stereotype "girly girls"... I think it's kind of silly to do so. I've encountered plenty of self-absorded and attention-whoring tomboys in my life.

Betwyn · Answer

I wouldn't say I hate them all..

I hate the ones that pretend to be dumb and helpless..

I hate the ones that speak with affected fake voices..

I hate the ones, whose portrayed maturity, is 5-10 years younger then they are...

MAJ4251 · Answer

I don't have anything against "girly girls" and I'm sure most girls don't either. We just don't like females that act airheaded to get attention from guys. It just so happens that many of the females that do this are in fact, "girly girls."

bluexqueen · Answer

Well the girly-girls are usually the popular preppy twats in school who are gossiping witches to everyone. I know there are exceptions but a lot of girly-girls are just bitchy and foolish for buying expensive heels.

UberTroll · Answer

I don't hate all girl-girls, just ones who use that certain "oh-my-god" tone of voice. It just grates on my nerves.

Hamburgers · Answer

Because American women are delusional. They view femininity as "weak", "submissive" in a negative way, as a "bad" thing.

You're not very feminine. Behind closed doors I bet you pick your nose, fart out loud and take big fat shats. That's the opposite of feminine
