I think most would say I've always seemed like a boy.

Datboi65 · Answer

I was very badass as a kid. I used to get jumped by multiple kids and win, was competitive in sports and was top of the class.

I remember my dad telling me to never snitch and go to the teachers, and never back down from a fight. I never liked to instigate fights either because I don't find it fun, I only fight out of necessity. He taught me to be tough and enrolled me into martial arts at age 7, and 7 years later I got my first black belt in Shotokan Karate. Part of me looks back in time to remember those fond memories I've had growing up.

What about now? I try to be in the gym 5 times per week and I'm currently in great shape. My schedule is too busy to incorporate anything else other than gym and studies (doing 2000 anki cards per day can make anyone lose their mind) but I'm very interested in joining a boxing gym at some point in my life because I definitely think it's more practical than Karate. I'm thankful to my time doing martial arts and the discipline that it had taught me, and I have plenty of respect for all of my mentors who saw my journey, but I definitely want to get some kind of boxing/kickboxing experience because I believe that it's overall superior to traditional martial arts.

So yeah, that's my story. You be the judge of that.

You do realize that vast majority of straight men are never going to admit they are a “feminine boy”.

Reason being is “girly” yet straight men are really considered the lowest of the low in human society. They will be:

assumed to be potentially gay by both genders. That’s still very insulting to straight men even in this modern day and age.
often friendzoned by women (while being mislead by women saying they “like” them)
be disrespected and bullied by other men (and women)
if they do get in a relationship they will likely get cheated on
any long term relationship they get it will be by a very controlling and domineering woman. They will be the cuck. They will be the “simp” in the relationship. Hence they are less respected and a less then desirable reputation.

Women keep on saying it’s okay or even “good” that men have feminine characteristics. In reality they just see these men as relatable to other women which makes them more comfortable. It’s selfish. They also think that men are content just having “friendships” the same way women do.

No men place self respect above all else. Most men are NOT content with having just friendships with women. Hell no.

The problem is modern society has brainwashed a lot of men in the wrong direction on this since they were young boys.

Yes men will have their feminine moments. Makes them human. But they can’t indulge it. They have to change and persevere with masculinity.

I was all boy growing up. To putting snakes in my pocket, getting in fights just because… to jumping bikes of off… well anything we could get our bikes up on.
Early teens chasing girls even though we didn’t know what to do with them when we caught them (a time BEFORE Internet porn).
Yep as a 100% real boy there wasn’t 1 dumb thing I wouldn’t try. The dumber the better it seemed. Girls are smarter. They didn’t do dumb and dangerous things. That’s how I know I was 100% real boy… the thought of not doing stupid, dumb and dangerous never crossed my mind.

mandyfire98 · Answer

I actually grew up out in the country. My dad is very much the italian dad stereotype, man's man. He raised us with stuff like shooting guns, fishing, hunting, riding quads and stuff which I did. But I was always a girly girl. Like big time. I was raised doing pageants and dancing and was a cheerleader in highschool.

So my dad tried his best for a tomboy but didn't win out haha. My mom and I did.

Definite tomboy. Wearing a dress and being girly meant I had to sit pretty, no flipping and running in the dirt, and no ruining my dress or shoes. It was stifling. I would see my brother on the playground with his friends having the best time, and I was sat on a bench trying to remain clean as per my mother's rules. My mom and I fought about me wearing dresses all the time (my dad didn't care) to the point where we had an agreement...church, first day of school pictures, and formal dinners, I had to wear a dress, but all other days of the year I could be in shorts or jeans. It worked out and I had an enjoyable childhood mainly spent in the dirt, riding bikes, playing in the park, in teh community pool, and doing dangerous adventurous stuff with my dad and brother (shhh, don't tell mom)!

sheenagwapa · Answer

in my country we just dress what we want and nobody will really tell you you're beinh boyish. it's not uncommon for girls to dress boyish it's a fashion style. it's also not uncommon for girls to listen to rock music. unless you are courting a girl then that's the time people will know that you are lesbian.

stepyo99 · Answer

My masculinity is something I never had to question. I just live it, naturally. This modern zeitgeist of deconstructing everything and putting it under a microscope seems obsessive and unhealthy. That mentality certainly hasn't improved society at all, if anything, things are continuing to steadily decline year after year.

I guess that's just the nature of my generation though, hopefully future generations will have it better when all of the modern neurotics obsessed with dissecting reality to the point of meaninglessness have died off.

Sarahr123 · Answer

From loving the cheesiest romantic films to the girliest pink dresses, high heels, sweet perfumes, sequins and glitter, jewellery etc… yeah everything is girly girl. I think all my mannerisms are very excessively feminine from my voice to my scream to my childish little girl giggle. The only thing that is a but not girly about me is that I have this military style walk and a resting bitch face which I love because it indimidates people and tells them to stay away from me.

panda2712 · Answer

When I has a little kid I was very much a girly girl with lots of dresses, jewellery and tiaras but when I was around 11-12 I was more tomboy but still like girly girl stuff I just don’t wear it as often and would like to wear it to events/occasion instead of the everyday causal wear

hiyamotherfers · Answer

I have always been in the middle. I did things girls sometimes did, like ballet, but that was only for a couple years. I didn't even learn to braid hair until my 10th grade year in high school. I much rather hang out with guys. I just have always seem to get along better with them

exitseven · Answer

I was a pretty masculine boy. I rode bikes and climbed trees. Went fishing and played baseball.

Wonderingguyy · Answer

Both I guess? I definitely have always been a typical guy in many aspects but I’ve never been super ‘boyish’ and ‘rogue’. Put it this way, as a kid (and still) I have always preferred sitting down and drawing to a game of football.

Sirenboobzilla · Answer

I was the girly girl in dresses who played with the boys. And who somewhat acted like a boy. I'm just a 26 year old version of that now

Berethor · Answer

Anemone978 · Answer

100% masculine boy. Did all the crazy stuff boys do, and liked all the stuff boys like. Had no interest in the feminine stuff but really was attracted to girls who did.

DarkCarousel · Answer

I always wore dresses and girly things but I climbed under cars and caught frogs and other living things.

RoxyLife · Answer

I was a tomboy. I hated dancing, dresses, flowers and pink. I had a really cool BMX bike. I’m still a tomboy, perhaps you call it tomman (almost like woman) because I’m an adult. Nothing has changed

DancingQueen16 · Answer

I think I was a little bit of both because I liked climbing trees and playing soccer but I also liked wearing dresses and I still do
