What do guys consider "tomboy" behaviour and clothing? Skateboarding? wearing snapbacks?

[Joti_Harrison]

I really dislike tomboys. When I want to exhaust all my manly juices, I hang out with the guys, but when I'm with my girl, I wanna experience her feminine side, her compassion, empathy, nurture (love and care) e. t. c You get tired of being all tough all the time.

Sometimes it's nice to express all the things of the opposite gender has to offer. I suppose that would be the purpose men dated women. If I wanted all that masculine traits I would have dated a boy.

Plus, It just feels weird when girls try to behave like boys, it doesn't feel Real and it makes me question whether they appreciate who they are as a woman. Besides many of those type of girls don't have many female friends cos they don't get along very well with their own gender and I find that very questionable and it shows other underlying issues they might have.

Sometimes it's nice to experience* all

[Jemini_Crocket]

What if the girl simply likes things and hobbies usual for guys though? That means she's already a tomboy?

[Joti_Harrison]

It's not really about her hobbies, (though I'd find it extremely weird If a girly girl with make up on plays basketball or American football, but awesome If she plays video games)

It's more about personality, (which factors in her mannerism, choice of words, dressing, how she carries herself, her image). I'd rather be seen with and take a feminine lady to go see my parents rather than some man in a woman's body. I know my dad would draw me to the side and ask If I'm sure If I made the right choice If the latter were the case. 😂

Traits that make up a feminine personality are Empathy, sensuality, affection, tenderness, compassion, patience, loving and caring, Nurture.

I feel like I'm not either tomboy or girly girl lmao

[Max_winner1]

I have no use for women who refuse to help with house renovations who has long nails and is all princess. I need a woman who will contribute to the nest and not just sit there like an ornament for other men to drool over. I am a guy who goes for purpose. Yet I'm not looking for a man in a womans body, simply put she's not afraid of getting dirty when it's needed. Simple as that. But she can look good in a sun dress when she needs too.

[Asker]

Nice way of putting it! :)

[WalterBlack]

Sounds like my kind of woman.

[Anonymous]

Different guys are attracted to different things. What I have found is men like me the most when I am being fully myself - some of me is gender non-conforming, tough, outspoken, bombastic, can handle tools and not afraid to get dirty. Some of me is girly with cute hair and make-up, dresses and sandals, ultra-high-heels when I want to, lipstick, knowing how to cooks well.

Be your very genuine self. That is what most people like about other people.

[Shayfoxx1209]

It depends on the guy really. I'm more of a "tomboy" than a girly girl, ( although I do wear makeup and I like pink, I just don't dress or act that traditionally feminine) and I've had plenty of guys like me, while others didn't because I want feminine enough for them. It depends on his taste.

[Jemini_Crocket]

Tomboys from my experience are much nicer, I would rather date such girl than a bitch who cares about how she looks, where is she gonna party and so on.

[IwanderIwonder]

I think it all comes down to one's definition of "tomboy" or "girly-girl".
I'd assume girly girls in this case refer those with make up and long nails, etc.
And Tomboys are Snapbacks to the back, plaid shirts, etc.
Ideally, I'd rather go down the middle, but if I had to pick, I'll go tomboy.

[fortyplusguy]

No preference here. I think a tomboy is just a label society uses if a female displays make characteristics, or does our wears something a boy is generally expected to do. I personally think it's a label that should've died out decades ago.

[Asker]

but would you date a girl who had some boy qualities? Not 100% tomboy but like may 20% tomboy and 80% girly girl

[fortyplusguy]

Definitely. I have absolutely no problem with it.

[ShortCircuit]

I definitely prefer girly-girls. I don't see the appeal in tomboys at all. They straight-up just do not have the femininity that I find attractive.

[Asker]

what if a girl had a bit of both, but she likes to skateboard?

[ShortCircuit]

I don't really care what her hobby is as long as it's not illegal. When I say I want a feminine girl, I'm referring to looks, style, and mannerisms.

It'd be a bit odd to see a timid and lady-like woman in a flower print sundress, painted nails, and a full face of makeup doing kick flips, but if that's how she rolls, I'm fine with it.

[Asker]

haha, okay :)

[DS_Madking]

easy what would i like more a girl spending 50bucks a week on makeup and nails and wears stuff that is so fancy she almost cries when they get dirty or a girl i can hit the gym with go outside and play sports or shit and that doesent need over an hour to prepare to go outside think about it

[WeirdoWerdo]

Gurly girls are for me. But everyone is different. Can't really say all likes this or that..

[Asker]

could you answer my question from my update?

[WeirdoWerdo]

what I see as tomboy behavior is like being on of thr boys or acting much like a guy. Dress alike to a guy now because English isn't my main language I can't really describe hpw they dress as a guy. I don't really like skateboarding but I would find it tomboyish. Wearing snapbacks? Maybe depends how she wears it somtimes it can just be cute and all that but sometimes tomboyish

[Dale1982]

Both got their appeal. As long as she isn't wearing dungarees with a shaved head and more muscles than me

[ThatGuy123456789]

Not too tomboyish but not like the girly-girl picture.

[NaughtySarah]

I'm a mix. I love riding motorcycles, wear leather, and talk naughty. However, I love wearing dresses, skirts, and heels as well.

[SupMates]

I like tomboys!!!

That girly girl is not very girly. She should be wearing a pink dress and heels

[Anonymous]

I think guys prefer something in between

[Asker]

I know that, but what if they had to choose one or the other?

[Opinion Owner]

Tomboys are the "rustic" ones, so it's more for country or street men (I mean the style by that, not living). Girly girls are more affectionate, share a lot with their friends and have exigences, so it's more for nerds or normal/sportive boys.

[Opinion Owner]

I think they'd choose girl girl

[Opinion Owner]

A tomboy is excactly what you put in the update

[Asker]

okay

[YeeeetYaac]

I like tomboys cause they are more relatable and at the same time it's not gay :)

[moonlight7777]

Definitely tomboy. Guys think tomboy girls are more sexy than girly girls.

[WeirdoWerdo]

Hahah nope...

[Joti_Harrison]

Hell nah

[Anonymous]

Tomboyish girls are the hottest.

[Asker]

why?

[Opinion Owner]

Because I like their assertive attitude and their clothing style (sporty, military and casual).
There are several definitions of Tomboyish behaviour:
"A girl who enjoys rough, noisy activities traditionally associated with boys"
"A girl who exhibits characteristics or behaviors considered typical of a boy"
"A girl who dresses and sometimes behaves the way boys are expected to, often into more masculine things like rough sports, cars etc. Stereotypically wears jeans or shorts, baseball caps, and denim vests/jackets"
"An energetic, sometimes boisterous girl whose behavior and pursuits, especially in games and sports, are considered more typical of boys than of girls".
"A girl who takes part in activities and games that people think are more suitable for boys"

[ColoradoChick84]

My boyfriend loves that I'm a tomboy

[SomeRandomDude24]

Tomboys are a turnoff lol

[WeirdoWerdo]

True

[Asker]

@WeirdoWerdo could you both explain why?

[WeirdoWerdo]

If I would date a girl who acts like a guy and dresses as a guy I could have just dated a guy..

[Asker]

@WeirdoWerdo but what if she is a modest, kind, and polite girl who plays a sport, and likes cooking and art and journal writing and stuff, but just so happens to like skateboarding and prefers ripped jeans and a t-shirt over a dress or miniskirt?

[WeirdoWerdo]

For me still a no. But not everyone is me so.

[Asker]

@WeirdoWerdo alright sounds fair

[some1one001]

both can be sexy and attractive

[Yanoa_Yanza]

That depends on the guy his taste

[pdxstranger]

I like both or a cross of them

[Seppelson]

[lovBrooklyn]

[Seppelson]

[liquidfir388]
