Girls, Why do ladies dig tomboys so much?

[Anonymous]

I mean tomboys resemble teenage dudes, and women usually go 'meh' when it comes to any regular guy. So, what's the deal? Why are they suddenly so obsessed with tomboys? Isn't that gay?

[HappyWoman34]

I think we admire the fact that tomboys are often so in materialistic and unique. We wish we were unique too.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Depends on a man. This morning, I was acting girly and had a lot of man showing interest.

[Asker]

I don't think you understand the question

[aries_rat_08]

they're usually super fun people and they're super funny and not afraid to get dirty. me personally, I love the fact that they're so free and they have no shame in the way they dress. it's not gay to respect and love someone's personality or style.

[Anonymous]

I don’t understand what you’re asking. A tomboy is a kind of girl. What does that have to do with guys?

[Asker]

Yeah it's a girl who look like a boy, why are women so obsessed with them?

[Opinion Owner]

A tomboy isn’t a girl who looks like a boy. A tomboy is a girl who likes traditionally boy things, like roughly playing or making a mess or rejecting typically feminine things.

I don’t know what women you’re referring to who are “obsessed” with tomboys. Sounds made up.

[Asker]

I am referring to women in general. Take Ruby Rose, for example; women were incredibly obsessed with her and they all said they would turn gay for her.

[Opinion Owner]

A lot of guys feel the same about Ryan Reynolds, lol.

[Asker]

Not but they don't get sexually atrracted to him. A straight guy would never be turned on by him and the vast majority of guys are straight. I don't get why women are so into tomboys. Is it just because they act like guys? But they're still girls. Does that mean most women are bi?

[Asker]

*No but...

[Opinion Owner]

You’re waffling nonsense. Women who say they would turn gay for women like Ruby rose aren’t being serious. It’s said in a joking way. You can’t “turn gay”. Either you’re gay or you’re not. Many women wish they could be gay so that we don’t have to tolerate men. But sadly being gay isn’t a choice.

[Opinion Owner]

Most women are heterosexual. Media mostly shows non-straight women though. So therefore many men believe that the vast majority of women are gay or bi, when it’s the opposite.

[Asker]

I'm not sure if most women are heterosexual or not but i'm definitely sure that women are way less inclined to be heterosexual than men. Many women admit to being attracted sexually to other women.

[Asker]

And why would the media mostly shows non-straight women if most women are straight? Why don't they do the same with men?

[Opinion Owner]

According to google, on average, 87% of women identify as completely heterosexual. I believe it. How many bi or gay women have you met in real life? I doubt it’s many.

Women who are not heterosexual admit to not being straight because they have nothing to be ashamed of, since in todays society, men fetishise gay women. Whereas men get shamed by other men for being bi or gay. So they stay in the closet for a long time, pretending that they’re straight.

[Opinion Owner]

Because men fetishise non-straight women. We live in a male focused society. Ofcourse you’re going to see more non-straight women in media.

[Asker]

Lots of studies also show that many heterosexual women are turned on by women and have sex with other women, so I'm not really going to take their sexual identification so seriously.

Researchers asked 345 women about their sexual preferences and compared these with their arousal levels when shown videos of attractive men and women.

They found 28% of straight women were mostly aroused by their preferred sex, compared with 68% of gay women.

[Opinion Owner]

Links to these studies? I’m interested in knowing where you’re pulling this from, aswell as the statistics. Straight women don’t get turned on by women, otherwise they’re not straight, lol.

[Asker]

Also remember that most women who are into tomboys call themselves heterosexual. That's not really heterosexual to me.

[Opinion Owner]

You may be confusing aesthetic attraction with sexual/romantic attraction. I find some women really good looking, and aesthetically attractive, but I’m still straight and would never sleep with or date a woman. I can just appreciate a good looking person.

[Asker]

"Straight women don’t get turned on by women, otherwise they’re not straight, lol."

That's exactly what i'm saying. What a woman thinks she is and what she really is might not match up.

[Opinion Owner]

Where are the links to the studies that back up what you’re saying? The studies that show many heterosexual women are turned on by women and have sex with other women? I’m interested in being educated if what I believe, is wrong.

[Asker]

"You may be confusing aesthetic attraction with sexual/romantic attraction."

No, I'm not. Many studies have indicated a discrepancy between a woman's self-identification and her actual sexual attractions. The issue is that numerous women who label themselves as straight are indeed sexually attracted to both men and women. What I'm highlighting is that most bisexual women tend to identify as heterosexual.

[Nikki1989]

Since when do they look like guys. You must know some really feminine men.
