HawkPerception · Accepted Answer

Girly girl for sure. I like a girl that is comfortable being feminine and in her feminine energy. I don't look for masculine traits in a girl.

I prefer tomboyish girls.

However, I see here that some people don't know what is the meaning of the word "tomboy", so I'll explain it:

- Tomboyish girls are not "masculine in appearance", they don't necessarily "have short hair", and they are not "ugly".

Ugly women who look like men are called "butch girls", "butchy women" etc.

- Tomboys can't be "hyper-feminine", they are by nature assertive and self-confident.

Tomboys are girls, they can look very hot, but being a tomboy is not the way you look like, it's about the attitude.

- Tomboys don't wear "male clothes", they wear unisex clothes.

Women who wear male clothes (e. g suits & ties) are androgynous, not tomboyish.

- Definition of tomboy is: "Girl who acts or dresses in a boyish way, liking rough outdoor activities".

Basically, tomboyish girls are a type of sporty girls, who don't care about fashion, makeup and other things girly girls like.

- Tomboyish girls also tend to be dominant, but that doesn't mean they are "not straight".

For what it's worth, I have a lovely girlfriend and she's more or less an exact 50/50 split between girly and tomboy, her own words too... if it were one or the other MAYBE slightly leaning girly, but yeah, lol.

BUT my girlfriend aside, if we were talking just in general and/or under the assumption that I didn't have a girlfriend... girly, I guess.

Nothing wrong with tomboys, but I tend to associate them with women who are really loud and rowdy all the time, trying to show how much of a "cool girl" they are, trying to show how much they hate femininity and everything that comes with it, etc.

Also growing up in school as a child/teen there were a lot of girls who went through an annoying "tomboy phase." Trying to show how superior they were for not being feminine.

Not to imply all tomboys are like that, I've met some really cool tomboys, yeah.

I much prefer girly girls. I adore women who have feminine mannerisms and like to look pretty. But that doesn't mean that they have to be helpless, be afraid of breaking a nail or getting dirty. I mean, a feminine woman can still garden, go hiking, camping, play sports, and do work.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

I say something in between. Most women who I've dated fit the "in between" category. I tend to date outdoorsy women, but not full-on tomboys.

godfatherfan · Answer

There is nothing hotter then the whole feminine getup. So girly girl for me. Even in jeans, if she puts her hair in a pony tail? wooooo dogggy. that gets me going.

BetaBucks · Answer

Girly for sure. But there are also hyper feminine tomboys. They aren't mutually exclusive. And that's still definitely a turn on. If guess being girly, in any form, is a major turn on for me.

Men like girly girls, yet 80% of the tomboys are that way because the men in their lives never had a spine to show up or stay around.

Nikki1989 · Answer

Women that I gravitate to tend to be the tomboy types.

Surely · Answer

I like the confident tom boy type. Ones that doesn’t mind wearing jeans and flannel. Mowing grass, working in the garden and even changing the oil. But can also be a sensitive, sinuous and sexual woman!

bobby_bush_eater · Answer

Girly girl. I want kids, id like a son to grow up with a good traditional mother as I did and a daughter to see how a girl should be.

Not that I'm hating on tomboys I've been friends with many of them but not as a girlfriend or wife.

jshm2 · Answer

Neither. As both are insecure and easily flummoxed  I prefer ladies who are confident in their skin and lives.

Ez-Bri-Z_v2 · Answer

My wife is totally a tomboy while I'm more feminine so I'd have to say I prefer tomboys.

worldscolide · Answer

My wife is kinda both. She dresses like a tomboy at home and has some tomboy hobbies and doesn't mind getting dirty, but when we are out she polishes up and is a very girly girl.

elaphe · Answer

I like a woman who is versatile. I want a tomboy to play with (play tennis, go hiking, camping, etc.) who isn't afraid to muss her hair or not wear makeup. But. I like a woman who can clean up and look feminine to go for dinner.

They can all be interesting and attractive in their own ways - or not. Style makes little difference to me but intellectual ability does.
