I'm NOT joking. I think if I had a woman's body; I could realte to women a lot better than guys. People think I'm gay sometimes but I'm attracted to women & I am NOT attracted to guys so I'm NOT gay but I wish I could be cuz it would be a lot easier for me to find a partner if I was. Women who want partners like me are gay but I don't have a chance with em cuz I'm physically a guy :cry:

The only people who are attracted to me are homosexual guys

I forgot to mention that I also liked TMNT action figures & I also liked collecting different things but I'm not not into that anymore. I got rid of all that years ago. Only stuff I still have are the legos & they've been picked up quite a long time

Ok is it mannerisms/ behavioural traits?
So we both come off as the opposite sex personality wise, but straight, possibly because of our childhood.
Are you still interested in 'female' type stuff or has it evened out with the 'guy' stuff?
I still have really no interested in traditional westernised 'female' stuff.

I also just realised, without coming off really stereotypical and generalising, I don't even know what they do.

I think it has some to do with interest & also me being an HSP male(HSP means Highly Sensitive Person). I like pop music, love songs, some romantic comedies/chick-flicks, I'll watch Life-Time before I'll watch ESPN; I don't watch it often but I do like shows like Rosanne & Ally McBeal. I don't think i have many fem characteristics but women tend to think of me as their girl-friend instead of as a potential boy-friend :cry:

I HATE the gender stereotype that guys are supposed to mold into & I wish women wer interested in me. I'll probably be alone rest of my life unless I turn gay

I don't really play with toys. Even when I was a kid, toys seemed largely pointless to me. I just collected them.

Dolls, I still have 4 that are up in my shelf, placed carefully. I don't play with them, but it is nice to have a reminder of childhood.

I wasn't much of a toy person, I was an active child. I liked to run and jump and play.

I spent a lot of time outdoors as a child, so I didn't play with that many toys.

But I did like:

Lego (that's my shocked but not really face)
Wooden bricks for general building of stuff
Toy soldiers (which I'm surprised my parents bought me, as they were hippyish and we lived in a semi-war zone (Derry) from age 5-9)
I had a toy tractor that I drove round and round and round and round and round our tiny yard. Must have driven my parents spare.
I collected plastic animals like this....

... getting a new one of those was very exciting, and it's what I spent most of my pocket money on.

I detested dolls, but LOVED soft toys (plush). Every photo of me from age 1 to 10 has me holding one of my soft toys. Most of which I still have. :oops: I remember being inconsolable when a grey bear named Elaine got lost when we moved house. *sobs*

I used to build hides, and hunt birds with elastic bands too. I was a bit feral.

Me, too! *high-five*

My big thing was gardening as a child. I still remember when everyone in my fourth grade class was supposed to bring in a favorite toy or stuffed animal to hold for our school picture. All the other little girls brought teddy bears and dolls. I brought in a trowel and a spade.

In hindsight, it's suprising my mother didn't forsee that this would lead to my being viewed as weird and try to stop me, lol.

I do have to say I miss my Lite-Brite, too. Any other children of the 80's remember Lite Brite's?

Of course, I was more a child of the 70's though, I remember seeing this commercial all the time:

One of the best things about being a mum is....

I have bought nearly everything on the list for my kids except from what i kept from my own childhood.

Mfavorite toys were Lego which I'd spend hours with, and my toy cars which I would pretend were alive and make little houses for them lol. I've read that girls are more likely to get lost in their imaginations than boys and this was definatly true of me. I was away with the fairies most of the time.

I also loved my barbies, reading, riding my bike, drawing/colouring/painting.
