How to Be a Tomboy

 

 Do you feel confined by the chains of femininity? Are you horrified at the thought of spending more than two seconds in front of a mirror? Not every girl wants to be glamorous, and sometimes she just wants to be one of the guys. Here's how to step outside the box and be a tomboy.

 

ps

1. 1
   Avoid wearing soft and powdery colors like they're the plague. Light pink is allowed. But you don't always have to wear bold, dark colors such as navy blue, forest green, brown, and black. Camo is a good pattern to stick with.
   
   
2. 2
   Be physically active, especially with sports, and do it earnestly. Don't join a team just to mine the field for potential boyfriends. Throw yourself into the game, get in touch with your inner competitor, and don't be afraid to break a sweat. Try a really cool sport like martial arts. You get a good workout, meet great people and learn something that you can really use.
3. 3
   If sports aren't your thing, then try video games.It's relatively active, and with up to four people playing cooperatively, you can make friends and rock out to all kinds of good music. Look for other games that offer competition and cooperation in the same package, so as to be able to work with someone as an equal, or destroy them in competition.
4. 4
   Choose clothes that allow you to become physically active at the drop of a hat. Jeans, t-shirts, and trainers are always a good bet. High-heels, skirts, dresses and 'pretty little pink hair clips' are no-nos if you plan on doing anything physical that day. Before you leave the house, ask yourself: "If someone invited me to play football, would I have to turn them down because of the way I'm dressed?" If the answer is yes, consider something else.
5. 5
   Get used to hearing the people around you belch and make other unpleasant noises and smells with their bodies. Odds are, you'll spend a lot of time surrounded by testosterone, which doesn't always favor good hygiene and etiquette. However, have some self-respect. Don't do it yourself.
6. 6
   Don't be boy crazy. If you want to be like one of the guys, you can't be THAT much into guys. No one's asking you to avoid attraction to the opposite gender! Just don't make it the centerpiece of your focus. There's much more to life than obsessing over guys.
7. 7
   Learn how to talk. Don't gush or talk in a really high pitched voice. Find the right volume and pitch, and don't mumble. Make sure you sound confident. Swearing doesn't mean you're a tomboy, either, so don't overdo it. It can sound cheap and fake if overused. You don't have to use "dude" or "man" or "awesome", but if you think it helps you and you're comfortable with it, go ahead. Talk as you normally would, but without squealing and being too dramatic.
8. 8
   Start hanging around boys and wearing non-girly clothing.
9. 9
   You might even want to shop at the boys' section at times. Nothing too tight or anything that will prevent you from being comfortable. Loose and baggy is the way to go, but you don't have to do it if you don't want to. You shouldn't care so much about how your hair looks, or if your nails are okay or not.
10. 10
    You can still be friends with total shopping, lip gloss loving, hip swinging girly girls, and you can sometimes be a girly girl too!
11. 11
    The point of a tomboy is to be respected by the opposite sex, and to make clear that you are not a "prize" or sexual object, but one girl to work hard to earn and be respected by.
12. 12
    Learn to skateboard or go on the scooter. After school you and your friends can go to the skate park and have skating contests.
13. 13
    Appreciate that you are one of the guys and they will accept you more easily than the girly girls that they tease.
14. 14
    Observe boys and how they walk. They don't use hands on their hips or swinging hips; they use their shoulders and take huge steps forward.
15. 15
    Run a lot. You don't want to get left in the dust when you are racing with a friend. They might get a little surprise when a tomboy passes them.
16. 16
    Chances are they will ask if you watch hardcore shows more intended for male audiences. If they ask you, answer. They'll like that.
17. 17
    Don't be afraid to get down and dirty, grass stains on your jeans, scuffed up shoes, that's a real tomboy right there. However, if you think that's going too far, that's fine. "Do what's comfortable with you."
18. 18
    'Wear some boyish clothes' like un-jeweled jeans or camouflage pants. You could also just wear baggy pants. Cargo shorts or cutoffs are good also. For a shirt you may want to buy some very baggy t-shirts with boyish designs. You might want to wear skateboard shoes or converse. Of course, you can go girly if you wish. "Being a tomboy isn't just about clothes. It's about the attitude towards life, and the respect you wish to get."
19. 19
    Joke around a lot.
20. 20
    For bathing suits, it's pretty simple. ' A good bathing suit is board shorts, some swim suit underneath, and a rash guard overtop to look more boyish.
21. 21
    It helps if you don't get freaked out at small things and try to seem brave even if you don't feel it. You soon will!
22. 22
    Try to wear sports bras and tank-tops; they're more comfortable. Again, do what's comfortable with you. If you can't give up your under wire bra, don't.
23. 23
    If you have a cellphone, texting is better and use real slang.
    
    

Edit Tips

• Be yourself. Dress the way YOU want to, and don't become a tomboy just because everyone else is.
• Work out. This doesn't mean that you should go to the gym and lift huge weights everyday, just keep your weight at a healthy level and remember to do your push-ups!
• Your intentions are important. If your intention is to appear tomboyish but not lose your daintiness, femininity, and cuteness, then you won't be able to have the earnest looseness that makes a tomboy what she is.
• Always wear your hair in a ponytail or cut it short so it doesn't stick to your head when you sweat, but if you don't want to tie them, make sure you straighten it. Two low ponytails or a plait would be okay, but sort of pushing the limit. Take care of your hair, tough-boys take care of their hair too, so it's alright. Wash your hair as much as needed, brush/comb it everyday, and don't use too many hair products. Don't keep fiddling with your hair though. Bangs are cool, so don't feel like you have to clip them up. Long hair doesn't mean you're girly, either. If you want to get your hair cut, don't get it too short unless it really suits you. Make sure it's styled properly. A layered cut is great, because it makes hair easier to manage if it's thick, and it looks just awesome when you put it in a ponytail. Not girly, either. It looks quite skater-ish.
• Don't bother with make-up or nail polish unless you feel like it. You don't have to dress up to please someone else, but you don't have to look like road-kill to be tough, either. If makeup is applied, do not overdose on it. Just a little, and not too much to make you seem girly.
• Don't let girly girls be mean to you... or anyone else, for that matter. Learn to deal with it without screaming, crying or looking stupid. If they don't accept you for who you are, then reconsider if you are friends or not.
• Go out and enjoy nature. The key is not to be afraid of spiders, bugs, and the like. Or, if there's a girly-girl screaming about the bug in front of her pick it up and move it outside. It really impresses guys to know that you aren't afraid of creepy things, but everything has a right to live.
• When you have to shop, go to a skate shop or somewhere that sells stuff you like.
• Never be afraid to let your creative side show.
• You don't have to like sports. That's part of the stereotype. Video games can be a better alternative.
• Don't be afraid to gush over boys with your girl friends.
• Look good sometimes. Don't act extremely like a guy, since that is just being stereotypical.
• The tomboys I know are girls who don't care about what others think of them. If you're someone who lives to please and get compliments, don't become a tomboy.
• Being a tomboy is mostly natural. You can shop in girls sections, but make sure to buy jeans or T-shirts, not mini-skirts. You can wear nice clothes on occasion, maybe to a dance or party, but make sure it suits you and doesn't look like you tried too hard to impress someone. The key to being a tomboy is to fit into the lifestyle naturally, not to look like you are begging the guys to hang out with you. Tomboys are just girls who don't like being girly-girls, so that's who you should be.
• Do not wear dresses, only shorts and a loose tee shirt.
• Don't wear loud make-up.
• Don't be on your cellphone 24/7, but having one isn't bad, either.
• If you are looking for clothes, you don't have to go to some skate shop you find in the mall. If you go shopping at a place like Kohl's, just head straight for the boys department if you prefer to wear boys' clothes. Don't worry if you see a boy there that you know.
• Lastly and most importantly remember that a tomboy isn't a specific style, but rather a girl removed from the Princess stereotypes pushed by the media. It's about doing what you want and dressing comfortably, which is pretty much how most guys live.

Edit Warnings

• Don't get so caught up in being a tomboy that you forget to be yourself. You can wear make-up and pretty clothes and still be "one of the guys".
• Don't try too hard. If you constantly say stuff like "Dude, I hate girly girls" and change very quickly, you'll look like a total poser and nobody will want to hang out with you. Change slowly, and just act how you feel. Besides, if you are comfortable being a tomboy, you won't have any problems with people who want to be girly-girls. Everyone should be who they are, and if you don't like someone who is girly, don't point them out and say you hate them because they're girly.
• Your parents may get upset, particularly your Mum. If she's really girly and likes hanging out with you, she may be upset you're changing. Don't worry, just explain you're changing but you're still the same person.
• Just because you're a tomboy doesn't mean that you have to forget your personal hygiene but you don't have to spend hours in the bathroom every morning. Shower at least once a day. Though the boys may smell bad after a game of football, try not to smell that bad. Wear deodorant and keep yourself clean.
• Never wear anymore of those cute little dresses, it will ruin your tomboy rep.
• If you've seen boy's jeans, they're a little ripped up, not hugely ripped.
• This can be a hard lifestyle. You'll have to take girly girls making fun of you. Just ignore it or come up with a witty response.
• Don't be flat out rude to girly girls, it makes you out to be a jerk.
• If you are a girly girl changing to a tomboy, you can still keep your old friends.
• If you are in high school people might assume you are a lesbian. Politely correct them if they are wrong. Explain you just like being a tomboy or lead an athletic lifestyle and aren't into girly things.
• If you've already been tomboy for a while,some of your friends might forget that you're not just one of the guys. If that's the way you want to be viewed, that's fine, but it can be embarrassing if you're in a public place and they say something. Another thing you can not just skip from tomboy to pretty. That will throw your friends off. They will be a little curious.
• You can still be friends with lip gloss-loving, pink colored super make-up girly girls as long as you don't become one.

 

 

How to Attract a Tomboy

 

1. 1
   Play sports with her or hang out with her. Do this progressively, so as not to freak her out with your sudden interest in her sporting activities.
   
   
2. 2
   Find out some funny jokes. Most girls love funny guys, even if they are tomboys.
3. 3
   Leave the clothing compliments aside. It is not really a good idea to compliment a tomboy on her outfit. The chances are that she became a tomboy to avoid the whole girly-girl cutesy thing.
4. 4
   Make sure she is available before making your move on her. Girls (and tomboys) don't like guys hitting on them when they have a boyfriend already.
5. 5
   Learn about what her interests are and start getting interested in them. Naturally, don't change yourself; just try to see if some of those interests enthuse you and adjust a little.
6. 6
   Slowly but confidently start flirting with her. Do this in a way that isn't that noticeable and more by way of mateship. If you persevere and keep it casual but kind, after a time, she will start to find herself liking you.
7. 7
   Build things up. After awhile, if she shows signs that she likes you too then you can turn up the flirting a notch. Don't play too easy though; then she won't feel that she is powerful, and most girls like thinking they have a sense of power over love. Love should be shared, not be a power struggle.
8. 8
   Be patient. If she is the confident tomboy many tomboys are, then she might either ask you out or tell you she likes you. If she doesn't do this, then ask her out.
   
   

Edit Tips

• Become friends first.
• Find her interests.
• Be as funny as possible.
• Make sure she is open.
• Flirt confidently and gradually.
• Flirt a little more after awhile.
• Be the same guy when you go out. Girls don't like guys changing once they're in a relationship with them.

Edit Warnings

• Make sure she is receptive to being in a romantic relationship.
• Take care with the compliments; make sure she enjoys compliments before piling them on.
• Keep the flirting chilled at first, so as not to overwhelm her.
• Don't be too easy to get.
• Don't change who you are once you start going steady.
• Some tomboy's aren't really interested in relationships.

everything about tomboy(Androgyne)

everything about tomboy Tomboy tomboy is a girl who behaves according to the stereotypical gender role of a boy. This can include various things: Wearing non-feminine clothes, typically for comfort or practicality or sport Enjoying boy's stereotypical games, interests and activities, such as running, jumping, climbing trees, science, and sports like soccer and baseball. Many girls can be seen as exhibiting a mixture of both tomboy and girly girl behavior(androgyne)and this has been held up by many as the "ideal" female lifestyle as their view is that if a girl either exhibits an extreme image of a tomboy or a girly girl, she misses out on too many experiences.� However, critics of this hold that such an idealistic image of an intermediate, "uni-sex" behavior is a stereotype by itself, and too general to actually mean anything. Some contribute, and some tomboys themselves think, the substantial cause of their inclination is spending their childhood and/or adolescence in an environment where the male presence or action predominates, and having therefore a lack of female role models. For example, a family with: more than 2 brothers and 1 or fewer sister, or a single father a school mostly of boys, hence the tomboy befriends few girls. Historically tomboys were defined by both behaviour (according to the stereotypical gender role of boys) and wearing boys' clothing. In recent times, as the use of "traditional" clothing such as dresses, blouses and skirts steadily declines among females, the distinction has become almost solely one of behaviour. A general increase in the popularity of woman's sporting events, (see Title IX), and other activities that were traditionally male-dominated is today lessening the impact of "tomboy" as a pejorative. many tomboys are androgyne........ Androgyne An androgyne is a person who feels that they do not fit cleanly into society's boxes labeled men and woman. An androgyne may identify with the gender identity of a combination of male and female or as neither / neutrally gendered. They may also use the terms non-gendered or bigendered. They may experience swings between genders. An androgyne is a person with the gender identity of either both male and female or neither. It is a misconception that androgyny is just a fashion statement, behavior, or set of visual cues. One could say that all androgynes are psychologically androgynous, whereas not all androgynous-looking people are androgynes. Androgynes sometimes refer to themselves using blended pronouns like Ze, Hir etc, and use a gender tag Mx instead of Mr. or Mrs. tomboy: 1. A girl with boyish ways, interests and behaviors; a boyish or butch girl . 2-agirl who wants to do boys stuff dress in sport is very active a tomgirl she didn't want to be a boy .

A lesbian ; obviously meant to be jocular or sarcastic, but perceived as disparaging. androgynous: Being neither distinguishably masculine nor feminine ; blending both traditional male and traditional female what is atomboy ?.
