Define being "blokey"

[RiderGirl]

Someone said "but you're a bit blokey" to me today - I found it quite insulting but am struggling to define in my head what it actually means! For context I am a 41yo woman.... How would you describe a woman who is "blokey"?

Not sure but I once lent a friend some clothes (emergency) and she said she’d never wear something like that normally as it was blokey. I’m not fussed as she’s quite girly and I’d never wear the frills and polka dots she goes for. My daughter and I both think I’d make a good lesbian except that I like blokes - the sort that like blokey girls. Anyway, we’re all different is what I say.

Hmm

A larger lout tbh, who drinks beer at the pub and burps

Otherwise, theres different ways to be a woman 😭 xx

What it's brings to my mind is being straight to the point, no waffly language like Hun and sweetie. Maybe banter? Perhaps into typically male interests?

I would take it to mean that you have stereotypically male hobies and interests, that you are very practical, hands on and direct, that you dress and sound tomboyish.
The person who said might have meant it differently or said it to get under your skin rather than genuinely meant it. Some men when insecure get defensive and accuse the woman for being too masculin to diffuse the impression he might be too metro or feminine. You don't have to claim it as your identity, you can reject any label others give you that doesn't suit you, afterall you know yourself far more than this person, even if it applied for that situation, you know yourself and how you are every other day of your life so if it's not you, you don't have to accept it. People can have the most weird opinions and say the silliest shit.

I would take it as a real insult: it brings to mind one of these guys who hangs around with like minded men and indulges in misogynistic talk and jokes.

Thanks for the replies - for context I'm married to a man, wear jewellery and don't leave the house without makeup, am slim/small and although I'm definitely not "girly" I don't dress like a guy! Maybe it's more to do with mannerisms, I am definitely quite direct, practical and tom-boyish but that definitely doesn't make me like a bloke! Oh well, I'll try not to take it as an insult as it came from someone that I actually get along well with!

I would definitely not intend it as a compliment if I said it to a man. I would mean ‘Your conversation is limited to Arsenal’s back four, your vocabulary is limited, and you have the emotional IQ of a teaspoon’. I can’t imagine saying it to a woman under any circumstances, though.

This is the sort of thing that only makes sense in context so you'll need to describe the conversation OP..
