This is a subject that looses a lot when you stereotype women into "tomboy" or "girlie girl".

Women don't have to chop down trees (and hang around in bars) to gain my attention but a liking for wearing practical, non-pink clothes (or generally being active) is not a negative thing in my books.

My advice would tend to be to be comfortable with yourself and be creative when looking at a prospective partner and considering how your lives could intersect. If I meet a woman who loved to sail then I'd probably see if I could put my experiences in a mirror dinghy to good use ...

I like the term 'prospective partner'. Sounds like real estate

Regarding the OP, everyone is attractive to someone and tomboys are no exception

Thank you. I always try to provide the best, hand-crafted phrases and fresh, new clichés.

From the person who put Humble into IMHO ...

I personally avoid girlie girls, to be honest. An assertive woman who is interested in substantial things (bring on the attacks if you consider shoes and makeup to be substantial!) is consequently substantially more attractive to me. And, as mentioned above, practicality in dress and behavior is a huge plus!

Short hair can be sexy too.

Maybe I should just start looking for guys Smile

it all depends on the girl.
i cant say i like or dislike all tomboys/girly girls.
some tomboys, yes, some no, like anything.
its the same with girly girls, i dont like em all, i hate the ones who are overly fussy and talk in them annoying voices!

Does depend on the girl herself from my perspective. What attracts me to a girl is a combination of looks, personality, manners, smell and a whole load more in any order. What is a tomboy and what is a girlie girl? Is a girlie girl considered weird if she likes horrors and equally is a tomboy considered weird if she likes a bit of romance. Attraction is attraction and i guess that the only thing that could be considered unattractive is being worried about what "box" you should tick girlie girl or tomboy. Frankly if you consider yourself attractive what does it matter?

Hey,

Do girls need to be girly and feminine to be attractive?

Can tomboyish be attractive to guys?

Simple questions, simple answer. For me the answer to the first question is no and the answer to the second yes.

As other people have said, it depends both on the girl in question and the person who is considering them. People differ in opinions so some will find different people attractive.

I notice you haven't specifically grounded the questions but the implications are that you feel you're a tomboy and that you are wondering if you don't get attention because of that fact?

Its difficult to tell from one photo and not knowing anything about you but there's no instant stay away alarm bells ringing Smile

I have some good friends you might consider tomboys. One thing I will say is that they've never had the confidence to actually realise and accept when someone is attracted to them. Many missed opportunities there but they obviously weren't meant to be.

Am I way off the mark? Is it just a random question or would you actually like more direct opinions about yourself? If so, you have to give more away Laughing

It's a fair question I think. I grew up with three older brothers so I didn't stand a chance at being a 'girlie girl' and I think my profession reflects that.

So what do the lads think?

Is a tomboy attractive? What do you prefer?



hmm, to me it's not all about looks, personality is a huge issue for finding a good partner, but so does ability to be flexible, if we're talking full on tomboy with no feminine side at all then there're some guys that may like that,
personally, a tomboy getting her fingers dirty sounds easy for her, but what about willingness to wear a dress on a date?
someone willing to try something not normally tried previously to satisfy the one she loves is a huge amount of points in my book, and i'm not talking bend over backwards. more so just the thought that counts, y'know?.
tomboys can be tomboys all they want, and they're there for the energetic times and the fun, but if i can ever see a woman in a dress, particularly a tomboy, then good lord love is in the air,
she can look bad but trying out the femanine appeal when she's used to hunting and sports just means she can be attractive in multiple aspects of life, not just being a tomboy. blushing's a huge turnon to the natural attractiveness for a woman to a guy, just dont feel like you have to change for someone to love you... we're only talking once in a blue moon, kay? :3 nyaaaaa
