It's said most girls with AS don't do girly things? Your op?

it probably took me longer to even become interested or care about things like wearing makeup everyday or wearing something fashionable instead of just comfortable

Im lucky at the moment that alot of the fashionable stuff is in the muted colours i like, khakis and browns and greys and black...

i still don't wear it if it is uncomfortable though.

I like wearing it, but I can never remember to take it off; I go around days later looking like I've had no sleep

Im definately a tomboy i have never worn makeup nor seen the point in it i wear baggy clothes mainly mens
lol because nearly all womens clothes are too form fitting and annoying i dont like stereotypically girly things and am almost
always am mistaken for a boy lol apparently my looks dont warrent man despite being 22 lol

As a kid, I tended to kick up a fuss if I was put in clothing I didn't want to wear, usually dresses. I wanted to wear my Ghostbusters tracksuit everyday and sit in the tree or on my swing. I had little interest, in fact, zero interest as a teen in boys, clothes, parties, drinking, makeup and all of that. I did wear skirts though later on, usually very long, loose ones. I still like loose skirts and dresses because they just flow and feel comfortable and hide my form. I have never liked my boobs too much so tight tops are not something I am fond of.

I was given a kids makeup box as a child, but quickly lost interest in it and didn't touch it again. I have been bought makeup over the years, but it doesn't get used. I have no interest in eyeshadow, lipstick, mascara. I wear a general foundation to cover up any blemishes and just even out my skin as it can tend to get a bit blotchy after a shower, but that's it. I rarely have my hair cut, and keep it simply without styling. I loathe the smell of hairsprays and have never used that sort of thing, nor dyed my hair. If I have a boyfriend, I try to make some effort, but otherwise, I tend to live in same rotation of clothing for months on end (washed of course). And no boyfriend will get me wearing makeup. I am quite girly in a sense I do like girly skirts and dresses, but in other senses, no.

I actually loved makeup when I was in junior high but in HS I was called ugly so often that I didn't wear any again for a few years. Now I like wearing it sometimes. Since I was so out of practice I watched a bunch of those YouTube makeup tutorials to learn tips. I also like wearing dresses and high heels sometimes. I often just hang out in baggy pants and men's tees (they have funnier sayings). Some people are shocked when I say that a shirt is from the men's section like it's a big deal.

I go through phases of being girly and being a tomboy....right now, the last ten years, I am pretty much little bit of both. I prefer to wear loose fitted flowy shirts with jeans. I usually always wear jeans. The last time I wore a dress was my sister's wedding and she bought me the dress. I did wear tennis shoes with it though....but the dress was too long to notice. unless you were really looking...and my sister dids and was mad about it. But I rather remember her wedding than remember that event my feet where killing me.

I rarely wear make up. My features are noticible enough without make-up and as I have black/brown hair, pale olive complexion and blue eyes. Most make-up I wear makes me look like a china doll. It somehow looks fake on me.

when I was a kid, I was a total tomboy with wild hair. I even had a spiked mullet
But when I got into high school, mom took me to the beauty shop...got me a great hair cut and they showed me how to put on make-up right. So I went through a girly stage in high school, but I was still very lonely even though I looked great. The other kids just called me "the chic from mars" which I really didnt mind cause I did feel like I was from another planet even though I was all girly.

As I got older, I grew into my own style which is half tomboy/half poetic hippie woman...which is an interesting mix.

If we did everything society seems to want from a female we would all be pole dancers with multiple, desperate to please, personalities.

I didn't even start wearing makeup until the late twenties. I usually dress for comfort but can dress up now for occasions. A form fitting t-shirt jeans and doc martins. Cargo shorts in summer and my Tevas. I am very particular about my shoes, when I wear shoes. I would go barefoot all the time. But times being as they are, you can't be too careful. I keep my nails manageable because they break doing whatever it is I do. I don't think I had girlie hobbies. I do crafts and art but the end product is anything but dainty. I also like to take things apart to see if I can fix them. I have one book in my library that is similar to a harlequin romance that a friend gave me, so I could sample different styles of writing. But mostly I have tech books, biographies and special interest references. When I was younger I would play with cars, jump ramps on my bike, go fishing, play baseball, skateboard (though I suck, I still have it), climb trees and have dirt clod fights.

I wrote a really long piece and the site made me sign in again, and i lost it. If it posts, then this is redundent.
I will hit the high points.

They handed us a doll that did nothing. Expected us to hold that doll up and pretend it was having a conversation..with another doll. Everyone who thinks playing social interaction is fun, raise their hand. They handed us a doll that would do a lot of things. So we made it do those things. Perhaps took it apart to see how it did those things. Everyone that has popped the head off a doll to see how the eyes work, raise your hand.
Does that make us less of a girl?

Our brothers had trucks that did things. They had levers and switches, they made great tracks in mud. They flew off the ramps we made. Trains. Who doesnt know how fast a toy train can go before it goes off the tracks? Who doesnt know how steeply it can climb, how tight a curve it can take? (if you dont, go buy one, you will love it). My brother had a radio controlled plane!! The conversation was on what we were doing to make it do what we wanted it to do. Making mistakes was funny.
Did that make us boys?

Can you deal with being partronized? Do you even comprehend why people do that? What is your reaction to--"I can do that for you, honey"?
Does it make you swoon or does it feel cut off, insulted.

I wore dresses because we had to. I never thought about it as a choice or a problem. It was the times I grew up in. White gloves, hats, curtsy. I shed them in 10th grade as we all did when the dress code changed. They only changed it because our skirts were up to our butts by then.

I loved Girl Scouts. Camping, making things, cooking over a fire, trips to interesting places. I never got along, was picked on terribly and I never understood why, but I went back to camp, every year, because I was learning something more important, self reliance.

I raised daughters, they raised daughters. Some are girly, some are not.
But all of them can change a tire, use a power tool, paint a room. Men may come and go but the washer will always break.

My daughter was trying to teach her daughter how to use womanly wiles to get a boyfriend. My granddaughter looked at her like she was barfing snakes. I was so proud.

While I was writing the one that Im pretty sure did not post, my oldest daughter called to say Happy Father's Day. I was a single parent so I get both days. But it was funny timing.

I wear makeup a lot of the time, but I wear men's clothing at the same time. For me, it's not so much about being girly as it is about being Robert Smith.

I put on a little lipstick and slightly darken my eyebrows for special occasions. Otherwise, I just keep my skin clean. I sleep in men's cotton boxer shorts and no top. During the day, I wear mostly cotton loose fitting clothes because I can't stand anything tight. I wear tennis shoes or LL Bean comfort mocs. I have a pair of riding boots but only wear them when the weather is cool. I also like flannel shirts, denim shorts, or peasant skirts.

When I was a lot younger, I went in for bubble baths, perfume, jewelry and always took care with my appearance before leaving the house. I've just gotten a lot more simple as I matured, and realized that none of that stuff was really all that appealing. I just did it to fit in. Now I don't need to fit in, since my social circle has shrunk considerably, LOL.

I have never been girly.

I'm becoming girly as I grow... I was tom-boyish uptil 18 yrs of age...

I'm pretty tom-boyish. I hate girly clothes like ruffles and pleats, etc. If I had my way, I'd wear jeans and comfy sweaters everyday. I don't wear makeup, ever. I just wash and brush my hair and then let it do what it wants. I've been this way all my life. But it's comfortable and the only person who seems to mind is my boss at work. He doesn't like that I don't fit into the 'girl' label very well and it make him uncomfortable.

I'm not girly, but I do wear lots of skirts and dressed for the comfort. I wear blush most days because I tend to look sick otherwise. But wearing makeup hurts my skin and I like to be nice to myself.

*I don't wear makeup
*I do wear jewelry
*I don't wear skirts all the time
*But my t-shirts are really cute
*I like to go camping
*I like to do my nails
*I can catch a cricket
*I scream at a cockroach
*I like being sweaty+dirty
*But not if it's dry dirt
*I am not scared of being outside at night
*But I am of being inside

I am a walking contradiction. Both male and female in everything I do or say
