tomboy

Tomboy refers to a female whose behavior is free from the restriction of unwritten societal gender rules. She doesn't think she is being boyish or girlish, she is being herself. It is hopefully considered an old-fashioned term. I've always been called a tomboy and I hear it when I do something that requires physical strength or when I'm playing and don't mind getting dirty or injured if that goes with the game. I am heterosexual by instinct and choice. Tomboys are usually willing to fight if necessary & tend to be fearless though not stupid in that respect. They are intolerant of bullies and tend to step in to balance uneven situations. Warrior-like in an honorable way.

Joe: "Brigit jumped right in the middle of that fight to help Ben! She's 50 and such a sexy woman, I wasn't expecting that."

Mike: "She's what you older guys call a tomboy. Really, she's being herself and happens to be a person who's willing to fight."

Tomboy

A girl who acts like a dude, but is still all girl. She doesn`t care about fashion, hair, nails, or any girlie things. Is strong, physically and mentally. Men love hanging out with her because she has no filter, and doesn`t play games. She also doesn`t care what people think of her. But men also find her extremely sexually desirable, and want to be around her all the time.

Girlie girls are either very drawn to her, and love her way, or they feel threatened by the attention she gets from males. If they feel threatened, it`s because they can`t understand how a guy can be attracted to her when she isn`t dolled up. So they often spread rumors that she is a lesbian, in an attempt to keep men away from her. But the tomboy doesn`t care. She sees right through pretentious girls, and doesn`t waste her time on them.

And although tomboys are very boyish, they are very clean and well kept, and usually smell really good.

Pretentious girlie girl slut: "I don`t get why he hangs out with her, she`s just a tomboy. what a slob."

Tomboys can be of any age. The term usually refers to someone of the female gender who enjoys participating in typically male gender activities. It can range from cars to canoeing, and everything 'typically' male in our society. Tomboys are not only capable of easily navigating in a man's world, but they can also be feminine and sexy when they desire to be. They do it because they want to, not because they feel cultural pressure to do so. Tomboys will look you in the eyes when speaking to you. Tomboys tend to chose careers that are in the hard sciences - like math, engineering, architecture, etc... Tomboys can have difficulty relating to Girly-Girls because tomboys aren't as restricted in their ability to express themselves honestly and openly - whereas Girly-Girls tend to want to please, and thus work hard at conforming and trying to be pleasant, even when they are really ticked off! Tomboys friends are usually males, and they make really good wives. They can be sexy when necessary, and they can change a tire or rewire a lamp when needed. They aren't restricted by thoughts like, "I can't do that, it isn't feminine"! Tomboys are terrific!

I am an Older Tomboy (53) and I still like to fish, canoe, and shoot target practice. My husband appreciates these traits, and he also appreciates my ability to be loving, gentle and sexy.

Tomboy

A female who doesn't conform to societies idea of what "feminine" is because she just happens to not like it. Tomboys are girls who are pretty on the inside and the outside, it just so happens that they don't feel the need to show it off. They also get along with males incredibly well, and never finds it "awkward" to be attracted to the opposite sex in a friend-type way. tomboys are also great friends. Generally, tomboys are the girls who like having fun by playing video games/sports/etc. and seriously don't give a crap if their hair isn't the exact way it was when they left their freaking house.

When a tomboy is friends with a girly-girl, she will sometimes be begged into wearing a skirt. After agreeing (because tomboys are excellent friends) she will end up complaining about it, because, turns out, skirts are worse than imagined.

tomboy

A girl who's not fucking afraid of spiders. She doesn't care if her hair's not perfect, she uses cozy clothes (bras especially) rather than the latest fashion and she hangs out with boys instead of bitches. She knows how to fix your car but not how to apply the perfect eyeliner, she loves wrestling in the rain but not walking in high heels. She thinks twice before putting a skirt on, then thinks again and goes for jeans instead. Her closet's full of black and blue clothes instead of pink and she sleeps in an old t-shirt. She's always herself.

I'm a straight girl with messy hair and a funny sense of humor. I ride a black motorcycle, I love climbing and kick boxing and I'm probably better at card tricks than you. I'm a tomboy.

Kid 1: Hey, look at that kid...Is it a girl?
