Is there such a thing as a tomgirl and if so would you ladies find that attractive in a guy?

[blondfrog]

I often read these questions that women ask like "do you like tomboys" or "are you into tomboys" on here, but is there such a thing as a tomgirl and if so why don't people call it that?

"Tom" being a male name, has male connotations, which fits with "tomboy" being a girl who isn't exactly 'girly', but rather posses some stereotypically male behaviours/characteristics.

"Tom" doesn't mean you behave like the other gender. It doesn't make sense to you "tom-" when referring to a sissy.

[blondfrog]

yeah makes sense

[Outofthegrey]

It is a thing. We call it being an effeminate wuss.

[blondfrog]

or feminine

[Outofthegrey]

Same thing.

[Outofthegrey]

Effeminate: (of a man) having or showing characteristics regarded as typical of a woman; unmanly.

[TheLittleBuggy]

Isn't called like, Metro men or something?
Maybe because Tom girl just doesn't have the same ring to it as Tomboy? I don't know... that one is a good question

personally, I prefer a more masculine guy, I like to be the one shaving my legs and being girly, someones gotta be the "man"

[blondfrog]

lol yeah I am not like that I was just curious though.

[TheLittleBuggy]

Well good, for my taste anyway lol, My older sister prefers feminine men though

[blondfrog]

haha yeah there are some women like that and there are some men who like tomboys.

[TheLittleBuggy]

Well I guess they go together quite well then

[eatitlikegroceries]

Tomgirl meaning a guy who acts like a girl? No its unattractive why date guy that acts gay not be rude or stereotypical but they are usually feminine and woman usually like masculine guys reason why beards are such a big deal its a manly feature

[blondfrog]

but there are guys who like tomgirls and yes That's what I meant it seems I have invented a new word lol.

Sooo, being a TOMBOY is only attractive if the girl is attractive to start with, and doing so makes the girl more accessible to boys because most girls are shy and hide in their house but tomboys are out and about doing things that boys like.

So perhaps a boy that is very attractive to start with, being girly could translate to being less intimidating for girls and therefore could be very attractive if the girl is smart enough to realize that the he is just as attractive doing things like coloring and other more passive activities.

Im a boy who finds tomgirls unfathomably cute because it means that they like guys so much that they also want to act like them.

I wonder if the logic could be the same for the few girls that realize that tomgirls are just boys with a huge obsession of girls.

i like girls that are girly but when a girl acts like a boy they blow up the radar.

[Tombomb_567]

Edit: *they blow THROUGH the radar

[blondfrog]

@Tombomb_567 I agree

[DivaMonae]

I think the word is metrosexual... You know a guy that's in touch with his feminine side.

I don't think they're called tongirl lol

[blondfrog]

lol yeah I now know.

[AshleyMD]

A janegirl opposite of a tomboy?

[AshleyMD]

There's no such thing as a tomgirl, a boy who acts like a girl is referred to as a janegirl or an effeminate man.

[blondfrog]

wouldn't tomgirl make more sense? lol

[AshleyMD]

Nope because tom is in reference to stereotypical male behaviour.

[blondfrog]

Oh yeah true lol then Tamantha girl? lol

[AshleyMD]

You just made them up just now? It's called a janegirl though.

[blondfrog]

had no idea :P

[AshleyMD]

Thanks for MHO!

I would like to tell you about my opinion I like tomgirls the reason I hate my masculine society husbands are strict to there wives and always anger with them and shout at them all the time.. Im attracted to tomgirls cuz they are cute kind calm U can enjoy many things with them like putting makeup or even not shave with each other there would no be rules for love also U share responsibilities with each other im a high sensitive person I cry hard when someone shout at me I think tomgirls would care more about this part... But 😞I rlly don't know about intimate do tomgirls will accept to be both the controlling person and the controlled one? ... I rlly love tomgirls are they prefer men or gays too 😞or they like girls like us?

[Bards]

Is a tomboy and tomgirl the same term basically? Lol

[ArabianPwincess197]

I've heard of tomboy but I guess guys who act like girls might be called tom girls. Reminds me of Tom and Jerry lol

[blondfrog]

lol its weird instead of being called tomgirls they get called feminine men lol

[Despondency]

There's no such thing.

[Klaatu51]
