That sort of sounds like me too, and other parts my mother. I had never even thought about it before thanks.

Maybe I'm just having a dense day, but how are these really any different than how males present? These just seem to have a more slightly feminine tint, possibly simply via language use, but really don't seem to be unique to females at all.

There are maybe 5 points on there that I don't match.. but I know other women who do. Very well done.

Can someone tell me what it means on there when they describe someone as a "trainspotter"?

Quite a lot of this describes me, that's for sure. And my sister and my mom.

I got confused by it as well and assumed they meant:

A. a person who does heroine
B. a person addicted to dangerous behavior
C. a person who has a hobby of watching trains

trainspotter definition is:
"Definition:

1. collector of locomotive numbers: somebody whose hobby is collecting the numbers of railroad locomotives

2. boring person: somebody who is considered boring because of his or her staid outlook, narrow interests, or unfashionable appearance ( slang insult ) "

I'm really not sure in which context they are using the word, so i don't know which definition it applies to.
