to think that I'm really a man?

I am a regular, promise. Obviuosly needed to name change for this. (pom bears, private v state, sahm v mw etc)

I am a woman. I have given birth (vaginally) to 2 DCs, breastfed both. I am in a heterosexual relationship with quite a manly man. I have an hourglass figure, long blonde hair. I wear short skirts, lots of colour and painted my bedroom pink.

However when I read quite a lot of the threads on here it seems like I am more like the DP/DHs I see described.

eg

I dont 'see' dirt/mess around the house. I just leave dishes etc to fester until DP gives in and does them. DP does all the washing/hoovering/kitchen/bathroom cleaning etc. (Although this is partially because I have a disability) When we are both at home he does most of the childcare. I do the driving and control manage the money.

I was v promiscuous in my youth. I wasn't interested in getting into a relationship with any of these men, I just used them to get orgasms.

When DD was tiny it was DP who would get up at night with her. I was/am such a deep sleeper I'd sleep through her cries, even breastfeeding in my sleep.

If DP doesn't get home on time to cook dinner for us I'll just put a pizza in the oven or phone a takeaway or leave the kids to make snacks for themselves. If DP didn't cook us proper meals we'd never eat veg.

I can be quite grumpy in the morning and refuse to get out of bed until someone brings me a cup of tea.

My standards of personal hygeine are minging low. I only shave my armpits/legs about once a month. I have a bath/wash my hair about once a fortnight (and this is only after DP nagging me).

In the past friends have told me that I'm basically a man in a woman's body. Do you think they are right?

Disclaimer: this is slightly in jest. The above is true but was written for a bit of a distraction from the snow so dont flame me too much. Grin

It's funny how nearly all the male characteristics you listed are negative. It would be like me saying I'm feel feminine because I like to nag people, stuff my face with chocolate then moan that I can't fit in my favourite dress, take 20 goes to parallel park, bitch about my friends behind their back and complain that the good looking men with crap personalities I go out are representative of all men rather than admit I'm shit at finding the nice ones.

alwaysrubbishatnicknames I know it's light-hearted, I'm just showing it goes both ways, and it's equally as ridiculous. P

ersonally, I find 'cor, men just can't wash the dishes/pick up after themselves, etc' just as offensive as 'cor, women can't park/just talk about shoes, etc'.

Im surprised considering your personal hygiene your poor other half ever gets any.

All the men I know shower wash hair daily and shave every day so not sure those traits are manly...just a bit smelly!
