Abiding to gender stereotypes

Post Reply New Topic

I think after my childhood when I was 11, I learned that most guys were not like me. I did not obey the cooties rules and spent more time congregating with girls than I did with guys. Even now, I feel more comfortable being outnumbered in a college that is predominantly female.

Obviously I did not, but did anyone else feel the same?

As a child, I always felt more comfortable with males because they were less likely to judge and be unkind to me. I was also somewhat more interested in stereotypically male things for my age group (soccer, handball, Star Wars - only boys seemed to like it in primary school). My high school is a girls' school, though.

I think we're lucky, because we have more schooling and work options, now.

I think that sexuality is like any other niche interest, where, if we had enough personal or safe space, you could just pursue it, without bothering the disinterested.

I would prefer a genderless, or at the very least, degendered society, but that won't happen in full for a long time.

My favorite tennis players are all male, and it was a male player, Denis Istomin, who inspired me to pick up a racquet for the first time at age 50. Other than that, I am very feminine. I think my preference for male tennis players has to do with the fact that they are much more entertaining to watch. The WTA generally bores me.

I have a very strong sense that I am a girl, but at the same time some of the things that I like would be considered boyish (or at least tomboyish) like lego and climbing trees.
I have always felt slightly more comfortable talking to guys than girls, but I'm not sure why.

I don't. Maybe I didn't.
I disregard what society deem as masculine and feminine as long as I can remember. I just so happened to be following feminine sides. So no one protested, nor had anyone told me of any sort of gender issue.
If I'm taking account on experiences, I don't like or dislike either crowds. I'm just neutral who just looks more feminine. At the same time, feminine is more confusing if involves more than myself.
If it's about my childhood, I dislike male crowds. But I've equally done masculine and feminine ways. They just shrug that I'm just a bit tomboyish, but my special interest gave off that I'm still feminine enough not to have an 'issue'.

And I don't even have a sense or real concept of attraction or sexual preferences. (Asexual) Never had any romantic experiences or desire, not even a crush. NOT once in real life, and hopefully never will be.
I'm chronologically and biologically an adult so yay I didn't gain one or two of the optional kind of human need.

I personally identify as androgynous. I dont consider myself male or female, instead a mixture of society-depicted gender stereotypes.

I think I'm closer to stereotypical male. I like to do guy things. Have a typical teenage boy interest movies and music etc. I'm closer to my dad than mom. I'm not into watching sports much though, it's never really interested me.

I had typical "boy" interests growing up. I didn't do "girl" things.

All that changed somewhat when I started getting interested in girls. A crush on my 8th grade teacher got me into literature. After that, my focused shifted from facts to creative things.

I still have mostly masculine interests, though. Though I can enjoy doing some feminine things with my friends who are girls, and girlfriends/wives/

I'd say the closest to a girl thing I do is one of my 10 created video game characters I play is female. Xena warrior type character. Wears an eyepatch and guzzles ale.
