Absolutely. At least, I have traits that are normally associated with guys. I don't think that makes them "male," though.

I'm into girls, I strongly dislike wearing makeup, I am a slightly aggressive driver, I'm tall and have big feet, I prefer men's clothing at least 60% of the time. I want comfortable shoes, not pretty ones. I sometimes wind up really wishing my hair was shorter... Like, ok, lately I've been ready to tear it out because I hate having to wear it long.

I'm stronger than most girls, especially in my back muscles. However, I have small hands so my hands aren't as strong as a normal guy.

I like to do math and work on cars. I love shooting sports and hiking. But those are girly things, because they're my thing and I'm a girl. You know?

I play Dota1 and Dota2. I look very girly so a lot of my guy friends were surprised when they knew.

I also love playing chess. Recently, a guy friend pointed out that I'm the first girl he knew that knows how to play one.lol.

I'm in an engineering program now. So I tinker a lot with motors, circuits, and controls.
Yep, no mani-pedi for me. ^_^

Chess is not just for guys. I don't know why they always assume that girls can't play. A big pet peeve of mine, haha

Oh I forgot one: I've started watching Downton Abbey with my mom and sister. I tend to eat chocolate when this happens as well. Coincidence? Perhaps.

Ah, a fellow DA fan:) I have seen every episode so far. It has gone down hill since the middle of season three, but I still find it somewhat interesting.

Yeah, I think the show hit it's peak before
Matthew died
, ever since then it hasn't felt as climactic. Although I'm pretty interested in Matthew Goode's role in the final season.

I'm attracted to women, love sports, video games. I don't wear much makeup, I HATE shopping, I don't own a lot of clothes, I don't think I've worn heels, so I'm also fairly low maintenance in that department.

I dislike dresses in general and I loathe high heels. I don't really care about my hair, as long as it's clean and doesn't look like I put my finger in a light socket. I'm not much for makeup though I wear it on special occasions. I'd much rather wear blue jeans and t-shirts than anything else. I actually know how to take care of the little things on my car.

This reminds me of something I heard Eddie Izzard say in an interview...
"They're not women's dresses. They're my dresses. I buy them."

I say something similar if someone asks me why I'm men's basketball shorts. I usually "They're not men's shorts, their mine and I'm not a man."

That's weird. I see men wear all sorts of necklaces, bracelets, and rings all the time and I never get the impression that they're gay.

I guess being in the bay area, there's lots of homosexuals here so mistakenly believe certain people are for whatever reason.

Hair...yeah. I do nothing but blow-dry my hair. It's long, board straight, zero volume. ...I hate it. I can literally do nothing with it. You people who have wave in your hair - appreciate it.

This is the perfect example of my hair right here. Middle part and everything. Kind of 70s, hippie-ish.

When I was a kid I had it like that. Then all of a sudden it got very curly with a bit of Africa in it while blonde and later with a bit of wave which is most handy, but still it's easiest to just make a knot. Didn't do that when I had someone because it doesn't look nice on me, but it's very easy. If my son complains I have it long though.

^Yeah, I wish mine would get some wave. My dad's is very wavy...like that 'beach bum' kind of wave. Apparently God saw fit not to give me it but straight hair.

I just assume it's because I'd be too irresistible and all the men would be falling for me right and left, so God put stop to it and gave me straight hair. Yeah, that's totally why. I'm convinced. :asd::eheh:
