Are You A "Tomboy" Or A Tomboy Turned "Girly Girl" by SeanT21(f): 4:22am On Jul 17, 2009
If there are any Tomboys here, Why did U decide to become one?

Do U think its cheaper being a Tomboy or a "girly girl"?

What do guys think of you imitating them??

Re: Are You A "Tomboy" Or A Tomboy Turned "Girly Girl" by Nobody: 4:35am On Jul 17, 2009
To answer the topic, it is easier to be a tomboy.

My hair was usually in pony tail, I wasn't crazy about purses and shoes then. Was not crazy about dresses and drressing cute wink

Back then, it was just, what you see is what you see.

Now a girly girl, even if you don't dress for anyone, looking good makes you feel good cheesy

Now you're spending like $200+ a month to do your hair. Shopping for shoes and heels adds to the expense.

To fix your eyebrow, facial treatment, undies that match, fixingnails etc is another thing.

Being a woman is expensive, I tell you

I'll let you in on a secret. I don't' think a lot of guys notice any of those things, except maybe the hair.

The biggest Lie of the century. Yall notice everything.
Re: Are You A "Tomboy" Or A Tomboy Turned "Girly Girl" by nguage(m): 4:42am On Jul 17, 2009
Okay I'm sorry for speaking for others, but I don't notice any of those.

I'll speak for myself to make this fair.
I don't dress for any guy. . . . but trust me, they notice it.

But women don't dress for men only. It's an expresion, its what you are, what you like.
It makes you feel good inside and outside.
Some like to look neat, some disorderly. Some like to look like geeks, some like to look like celebrities, some like to look like professors etc.
The way you dress at times is another way to express yourself.

whosai! Maybe boys dont notice (no offense to you bro) but men do take a mental note of all this. A woman in a pony-tail everyday, no sense of style (jewelry - doesnt have to be expensive, clothes, shoes) is not someone you want to waste your precious 10 minutes with.

When a man wants a woman, he wants a REAL woman not a half boy half girl
Re: Are You A "Tomboy" Or A Tomboy Turned "Girly Girl" by nguage(m): 4:47am On Jul 17, 2009
Well, thrice, I've been corrected. So maybe it's just me. I don't notice the matching underwear, the nails . . . but then again, I don't notice the breasts too.
Re: Are You A "Tomboy" Or A Tomboy Turned "Girly Girl" by Nobody: 4:48am On Jul 17, 2009
What o you then notice?

maybe its just you bro. Most guys i know are hypersensitive . . . ordinary stuff like her scent, nails, feet, hands . . . go a long way in telling whether she's the neat type or not. I dont know about matching underwear sha grin
Re: Are You A "Tomboy" Or A Tomboy Turned "Girly Girl" by nguage(m): 4:53am On Jul 17, 2009
I work in the spirit so I only notice the "inner man", or should I say "inner woman." But even when I was a captive of the flesh, I only noticed the hips and waist and the face.
Re: Are You A "Tomboy" Or A Tomboy Turned "Girly Girl" by Nobody: 4:56am On Jul 17, 2009
What if she wears something to emphasise her hips and waist?

Oh yes, the scent too. But most girls smell ordinary. I only noticed the scent when the woman smells bad or  too perfumed up. The nails, just clean nails, short or long. I could care less what color or how much you paid the underpaid girl at the Chinese saloon.

Then I was likely to look at her like someone "trying too hard." I guess modesty is really the key here.

take your time to notice . . . most girls (the really neat ones) always have a distinct scent. Any chic i meet who has an "ordinary smell" na no go area be that.  grin God knows what she's hiding in her closet at home.
Re: Are You A "Tomboy" Or A Tomboy Turned "Girly Girl" by iice(f): 5:00am On Jul 17, 2009
I'm a bona fide tomboy.  I didn't decide to be one, i just am.
As to finding it cheaper, maybe it is.  .  .but i don't care about that aspect.
I don't like girly girls.  I find them irritating grin

Maybe the distinct scent is her perfume or the air freshner in her closet. I don't think those have a bearing on how hygienic someone is.
