Are you a girly girl, or a tomboy?

I think I'm more of a Tom-boy.

I don't wear makeup, I don't like shopping, I don't own a purse. I prefer to wear jeans and running shoes. I like wearing the same pair of shoe almost all the time. I keep my nails short cause it's easier to maintain.

But I also like to have jeans and shirts that are flattering and fairly feminine. So I guess I might be a low-maintenance but feminine person.

I am definitely a girly girl and have been all my life. I have always loved to dress up with makeup and jewelry, just love the bling. I have gone camping a couple of times and hated it, yuck...give me a hotel with a beautiful bath and running water, I hate feeling dirty and getting stinky altho I did lots of fishing when I lived in San Diego. Nowadays there is really no where to go where people get dressed and that's a shame, unless your going to a wedding every one just dresses down, me included. I hate feeling overdressed so I've joined the more lazy look, that's ok too as long as I am comfortable. But no matter how I'm dressed, I got my jewelry on...love oversized oval earrings and big watches

I guess a little of both. I always were eye makeup & do my hair when I go out but I prefer jeans/t-shirt. I hate the outdoors & I hate getting dirt under my nails.

I'm girly in that I like feminine clothes, I like to wear my hair long, I love to make jewelry and do other artistic things... and also in the sense that I would dearly love to be married to a man who is just a little bit smarter and more capable than I am, so I could finally, after 51 years, let down my guard a little. Y'know?

But I'm not so girly in other ways: I'm forthright and direct, not a hinter or manipulator. I've always had lots of good male friends (though few of them have ever seen me as dating material, even back when I was cute), and it's only in the past six or eight years that I've become more comfortable with female friends.

I would vastly rather watch a Bruckheimer movie than a Merchant-Ivory. I'd rather go to the auto show than get a makeover. And I'd pay money NOT to be dragged to a mall!

So maybe I come down right in the middle, hm?

I had gauges once and let them close up (was requested by my cousin for her wedding), I wore girly earrings for about a year, and then stretched em again... I don't know what my problem is

I've always found those interesting, does it hurt when you stretch them out?

Complete tomboy here... never worn makeup in my life and if anyone tries to talk to me about hairstyles or fashion I feel as if part of my brain shuts down!

Definitely a "girly" girl.

Until I gained weight, I never wore pants, always skirts or dresses, but wearing nylons when you are heavy isn't very comfortable, so I moved onto pants.

I've never been into participating in sports or rough housing. I hated "gym" and "track and field" days in school. I don't even like riding a bicycle. The last time I rode a bike was back when I was about 14.

The first time I went tent camping was when I was 16 and I hated it. I've been tent camping maybe 3 other times since then (I'm 45 now). My friend has a very nice trailor out at a camping park and before I got sick I would go out there a couple times per summer but I would book myself into a hotel in town for sleeping and showering. My idea of "getting back to nature" is opening up my apartment window, hehe

I am scared of bugs and snakes and spiders etc.

I would much rather cook, sew, do crafts or play with barbies.

However, there is a side of me that likes to fix things, from routine car maitenance to laying carpet and shingling a roof. I find that kind of stuff quite fun...almost like doing crafts

I am a girly girl but not so much that I would be afraid to get my hands dirty!! I like to put on makeup and look nice when I go anywhere. I like doing my nails and painting my toenails, stuff like that, but I also like doing outdoors things like camping and stuff too. I am not afraid of snakes or lizards or anythinhg. So, I am not completely girly! Just mainly girly!

I think I'm a girly girl for the most part, but I love my comfy clothing and what not.

For me, I'm a little bit of both. I love to have my cute clothes and heels, but I have my fair share of comfy jeans and t-shirts and tennis shoes. I absolutely adore taking my shoes off and running thru the grass all summer, and laying in the grass with the kitties, not minding if I get dirty at all!

I adore camping, I don't care if I get dirty or gross from fishing or walking around in the dirt/mudd if its raining. Usually when we're camping with my family, I won't wear shoes all weekend, its just a wonderful feeling! I'll swim in the lake with the fishies (but I won't touch the worms when I'm fishing, thats where I draw my line!

) I can hang with the guys like the best of them, riding on the back of a Harley, drinking a few beers now and then, but they know I'm a girl, and treat me like one too

I guess I'm right in the middle, but I think I'd say I'm more towards the tomboyish girl than a girly girl, dirt doesn't scare me!

Im both. When i'm at home i'm mostly tomboy, i like to be comfortable and the world can't see me with messy hair and no makeup. When i go out i like to put on makeup, a little jewellery and perty clothes. I like to put in the effort when i go to see tristan even though he knows what i'm like when i'm tired or stressed or whatever.

I'm a bit of both myself as well. Growing up, my mom went nuts trying to get me to wear "girly" clothes, but I preferred my older brothers' jeans and tshirts that were WAY too big on me (both are around 5'11" and I'm only 5'2").

However, I work in an office that is business casual. If I could, I would wear jeans everyday to work, but I can't. I dress up for work daily (hair, makeup sometimes, cute clothes), but I love coming home and slipping into a pair of jeans and a tshirt.

I built my own computer (in 2003, and it's still a wonderful piece of machinery), I can talk tech with the best of them, and I LOVE taking things apart and putting them back together. You know those furniture kits where you put it all together yourself? Yeah, DH knows to stay out of my way, because I'm gonna put it all together myself.

Oh and, shhh, don't tell DH, but I'm better with tools than he is, I just let him think the opposite.

I guess I'm a little bit of both...but on the extreme ends.

Growing up if it weren't for my mom and my sister nagging about how bad I looked I'd still be wearing sweatshirts and sweatpants I do love girlie- girl clothes but if I buy them I rarely wear them.

Two years ago I finally got a couple pairs of those slip on sandels (eerrr...kitten heels?). Anyways after spending hours in the store finding something that works with my high arches, I bought a couple.

Do I wear them now? Nope. I can't stand the noise they make and I can barely walk in them.

Birks are the best pair of shoes for me

When it comes to bugs though -EEEKKK!! I can't stand spiders or those centipedes.

I used to be girly... always wore nail polish, make-up, dresses, heels, colored & styled hair, etc. Now I'm all health-oriented and stay away from chemicals as much as possible.

I wear makeup base and lip liner and I like skirts but that's about it. I also have a toolbox and power drill and I'm the one who BBQs, paints, takes care of the car, and does home repairs.

I'm 50/50 too. Neither of my jobs really allow my girlie side to come through...but, I'm sensitive, and like to be treated like a lady. In fact, I expect men to respect my femininity...I DEMAND tenderness, darn it!!!

And I love strappy sandals, and pretty flowy stuff, and decorating, and cooking, and sassy fashion...I can "girl" with the best of the girls, if you know what I mean.

On the other hand, I'm opinionated, and am strong-willed, and love to be casual. Jeans, and a tank top. I rarely wear make-up, but actually appreciate how I look when I do.

Thats me!!

I'm a little bit of both I LOVE to get dressed up, get my nails done, take long bubble baths, and go to VS and other places like that!

But I also work at an animal shelter- cleaning kennels all morning long, taking blood, hauling around huge animals- that is a job where you get down and dirty- certainly not for the weaklings

YES! It burns, though I am impatient and like to skip gauges or only wait two weeks before I go up a notch! Not recommended btw! It hurts more than a piercing for sure and I have 12! The only piercing that is comprable in healing pain is my tragus (I have both sides done, one done in february and it wont heal... Having a real hard time with this)! The higher in gauges you go, the more there is in a stretch difference! the go by even numbers (highest being the smallest).... They start at 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, 00 and so on! I am at a 4 and a 6... Going from a 6 gauge to a four was actually a big difference and it hurt (going from a 4 to a 2 is a huge difference and even worse if you go from a 2 to a 0)... Here is a picture... Mine arent big compared to my bf... I'll let you take a peek at mine and maybe you'll see why people dont consider them feminine..





Off topic sorry... Just thought Id share in case people where unaware of what Im talking about!
