[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You said you haven't gotten comments from men in the past but do you mean that you have?
I think this guy was most confused by the seeming change in your appearance,  although his comment about your lack of jewelry was quite rude, and he should be kicked to the curb for that alone. Do you do that with other guys? Start off more 'girly' and then change it up? You should get less of this if your look is more consistent.[/quote]

I  don't have a lot of dressy clothes. my job doesn't require them. Also, I only wear dresses during the warmer months. I can't really keep up a feminine appearance as I don't have the resources. I did make a typo. I  meant to say that guys have commented on my lack of femininity previously. [/quote]

Well if your look is pretty consistent, then you are unfortunately running into guys like the one on this thread, who won't dump a woman over clothes but feels just fine disrespecting her by staring at other women in her presence. You clearly don't want guys like that. I believe there is a lid for every pot- you can find guys that like and even prefer tomboyish girls. 
Where do you meet most of the guys you date? You may need to try different places that are more reflective of your interests.[/quote]

I  meet most of the guys online and networking events. I  hangout at a sports bar on Sundays to watch football, but I haven't had any guys from here interested in anything other than friendship [/quote]

I'm glad you mentioned the sports bar- I think that's a good plan. Just be sure not to give off a 'one of the guys' type vibe- you can still flirt in a football jersey.
In your profile I think your pics and text should really reflect your low maintenance girl-next-door type style. Don't go on about liking to hit up restaurants and travel, mention your love of spending sundays in a sports bar and things like that- so guys will know what they are getting. Also, if you have any say in it, try to make your first dates more low key and not a typical situation where you'd be expected to look nicer than usual.

Alternatively, if you in fact are looking to glam up a bit maybe it's as simple as always making sure your nails are done (polished, and not just clear) or your hair is out  (no pony tails)- do that one little thing to make you stand out as girlish and interested without having to change your whole wardrobe (if you don't want to).

But really I wouldn't panic. There are so many guys with so many 'types' out there, not being girly enough is no reason you should end up alone. [/quote]
