I like football and riding bikes so a bit.

@DanielODonkey

I wear jeans and like stereotypical male pursuits BUT when the queen bee (who j used to hate because she wears skirts and makeup and drives a pink car, bleurgh) gives me a makeover then I look absolutely stunning in a crop top and mini skirt with sparkly makeup.
...someone should make a film of your life.

Wikipedia says:
"A tomboy is a girl who exhibits characteristics or behaviors considered typical of a boy. Common characteristics include wearing masculine clothing and engaging in games and activities that are physical in nature and are considered in many cultures to be unfeminine or the domain of boys."

Sums me up :) I'm wearing men's pyjamas :D

What if you’re riding a lady’s bike? I can’t say I ever heard the word tomboy used to describe an adult woman.

I am surprised such a term is allowed on MN.

I’m wearing a mans hoody and silver glittery leggings so I’m confused. Am I or aren’t I? 🤣

I got this as a child as I preferred short hair, brown cords and hanging upside down from a tree. I didn't really care, as long as I could do the things I liked. There was no stigma.

Now I still prefer trousers, DM boots, hiking, wild swimming, sewing, making the house pretty, painting, dancing, gin, baking, long earrings....

I was a mix back in the 70s/80s, still a mix now. But the term tomboy does suck.

Love football, don't like heels, drink beer. Love a fancy shower gel and have a great collection of jewellery.
Oh and due to cancer I have no boobs or ovaries. But I have birthed three children.
What AM I?
JK had a word...

I wear boxer shorts instead of knickers (because they are more comfy) but also wear a full face of make up when I leave the house so not sure what that makes meHmm

I don't really know which vote was for which way so I didn't vote, but I'm so girly, I wear makeup daily, always wear dresses or skirts, loads of perfumes, knit, sew, bake etc, but also a low maintenance one because I never have any salon treatments or false nails/fake tan and only get my hair cut when I'm desperate!

I can drive a tractor, enjoy tinkering with classic cars and play rugby.

I also to model (on the runway) when I was younger and own more colours of nail polish than will ever be useful to anybody.

I also loooove perfume and spend far too much on it (Penhaligon, I'm looking at you).
