Is there anything wrong with being a tomboy?

I’m a tomboy and my mom keeps telling me to wear dresses more than just to special events but i hate dresses and skirts. I never wear skirts and I only wear dresses to special events. My mom also tells me that I should wear makeup but I don’t like wearing makeup and I feel fake when i wear makeup when i go to weddings. My mom also says i will like a better chance getting a boyfriend if I was girly.

Answer #1

Nothing ‘wrong’ with it…..I think it’s a phase you’ll grow out of…..

Answer #2

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a tomboy. You’re being yourself and being yourself isn’t a crime.

Answer #3

That is so untrue, the things your mother is saying. I am a tomboy myself. I don’t wear dresses and skirts and such because i feel i comfortable and self conscious in them! But at least make sure you put an effort into looking nice! I used to wear some makeup, but you know what my boyfriend told me? I’m prettier without it and he likes my natural look! And thats what alot of guys like in most girls, some dont care about that stuff! Being a tomboy is your style, and thats just who you are, dont let anyone change who you are! Not all guys like girlie girls.

Answer #4

Not at all! I was never ever a girly girl and I never will be. I hate dresses and skirts, but I will wear them at special occasions. I don’t wear makeup, I don’t do my hair. My boyfriend loves me the way I am. He actually found me extremely attractive when he first met me, it’s why he finally decided to ask me out. He loves the way I look naturally and dress. You can definitely find a boy one day, you don’t have to be a girly girl to get a guy, you just need the right guy.

Answer #5

I”m a tomboy even though I don’t dress like one. I grew up around my dad and my brother, so I am into guy things. I like hot rods, trucks, drag races, hunting, fishing, all of that stuff. I do have a sister that is 10 years older than me, but we were nevr close.

Answer #6

i know how you feel. dont worry about what she says. nothing is wrong with it. my mom tries to get me to were dresses and skirts all of the time. she threw out my entire closest and replaced it with pink and frilly dresses and crap like that. so i burnt it all, got a job and bought my own clothes. she got me makeup 2 years ago and i still havent opened it. as for not getting any boys, thats all bull sh*t. just be yourself.

Answer #7

There is nothing wrong with it. You dress completely how you want to because if it makes you comfortable then it’s fine. A boy would be more likely to like you if you were yourself rather than pretending to be something you’re not.

Answer #8

I don’t think so! I’m not a hardcore tomboy anymore but trust me, I had that problem too. Just resist and don’t let yourself get forced into stuff unless you want to

Answer #9

Answer #13

i find nothing wrong with being a tomboy. in fact some boys would rather date a tomboy than a girly girl and if someone has a problem then remind them that it’s 2012 not 1970.

Answer #15

Theres nothing wrong with it at all! and it all depends on the guy! personally i prefer girly girls .but im sure there are guys out there that like non girly girls

Answer #16

Definitely not! I admire those girls who are willing to be tomboys, because that usually means they are headstrong and aren’t afraid to be themselves and not what society says girls should be like. The cool thing about being a tomboy is that instead of “pink” and “frills” (eww…), you can wear “black” and “chic”. One of my best friends is a definite tomboy, but she has a short but refreshing short hair cut, and she wears all these different jeans and cool t-shirts that i just gape at her because she looks amazing and cool. Even her shorts (she likes basketball shorts, the ones that reach your knees) look amazing. Don’t be afraid to show the world who you are!!
