Personally, I'd like to know why being girly is such a bad thing in the first place. This whole thread is kind of weird. Nothing wrong with being feminine, imo. If we can't be girly in tLL then where the hell can we?

Fake tan, fake tan and fake tan : An expensive product that makes you look dirty and unwashed. Make up companies must be laughing all the way to the bank....talk about mass brainwash.
Soaps : They usually all rely on the following theme - two characters fall in love but with a twist be it that they're brother in law and sister in law, brother and sister, mother and son, father and daughter. All sensationalist stories under the guise of 'dealing with the issues affecting people today'.
Romantic comedies : Now these really get my goat. They usually start with a ditzy, yet strong and independent woman. A girl that every woman in the world should identify with, independent yet not too threatening to the status quo.The usual japes and misunderstandings follow, but thankfully in the end she ends up with the man that she'd been jousting with all along. The message : be as strong and as independent as you like girlies, but you won't really be happy unless you have a man by your side. Don't get me wrong, men are the greatest invention since spare ribs
, but I really don't like the underlying theme in these movies.
Ooh and Merry Christmas everyone! 0 -

Pillypen I don't think anybody is saying there is anything wrong with being girly. When I asked the question, I was asking about things that are typically things most (not all) women like or do that you dont do. I didn't suggest that those things were wrong.
Anyway, I think that for every 'girly' thing people dont like, there will be one they do like.
For example I may not like fake tan but I love handbags and shoes.
And I will defend Marian Keyes to the last 0 -

Hey no, I wasn't trying to attack the initial post, sorry if it came off that way. It just seems like some of the responses are about trying not to seem like a girly girl. It strikes me as odd that the posters in a woman's forum would have a problem with being labeled overly feminine, when ideally this forum would be welcoming and inclusive of all types. I dunno, maybe I'm reading into things a bit too much!

Pilly, I think the thread is great because we can now be as mulitfacetous as we want. We can be girlie but blokey and all at the same time! IT's brilliant! to all the blokes that still can't be all to feminine without fear of being classed as ghey... 0 -

I wear make up for a night out but not everyday
I point blank refuse to ever wear fake tan no matter what the occasion - even if I am milk bottle white all year round
I live in converse most of the time, heels are for special occasions
I don't listen to pop music, prefer my rock!
I don't watch soaps, prefer crime or medical dramas
I couldn't care less about celebrity gossip it makes no diffrence to my life what weight Victoria Beckham is
I can outdrink my brothers
But, I love baking cakes and biscuits, and can't pass a cute puppy without going awwhh
And I want to have kids someday, just not anytime soon!
I think the most important thing about all of the above is that I am not ashamed to be me:p0 -

Spooky nobody should have to choose. Ever. Seriously. But your lack of respect for chocolately goodness makes me gggrrr!
Peared...Important question. Are the kids going to live in your house or his?
I really cherish every last ounce of hard won girliness I can muster. I'm somewhat lacking in that department. As I suspect most of us lounge ladies are.
I don't get this bottom size fascism thing. The bigger the better in my stereotypically flat Irish book.
I'm not snobbish about literature. I can totally appreciate an afternoon escaped in the utterly ridiculious, trashy, fantasy world of Mills and Boon.
But that chicklit stuff......people like Sophie Kinsella and That funny recovered alcoholic one.
They make me want to scratch my eyes out to spare the utter boredom.
If you like the majority you work in an office enviorment, and think about men and shop. Why would you read about people doing the same.
I totally don't get the desire to be the center of attention, that is important to some women when it comes to weddings.0 -
