[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm almost 30 and not a girly girl. I do wear dresses from time to time, but you won't catch me wearing make up and I love sports. most of my friends are male or females that like sports. Some women grow up to be more feminine than others. [/quote]

+1 and I get really annoyed when I meet up with couple friends and the girls want to talk nonsense while the sports are on.  I am always with the guys for that.  Most of DH's friends say they envy him because my ideal date is jeans, beers and and going to a great ball game. I am the only girl on a fantasy football team.  My cousins and I still tailgate when we can.  That said, I love being a girl and I am not a dressy up girl but I do like wearing minimal make-up, getting my hair done, even pedicures.  I hate lots of make-up, heels, glitter, [b]trying to be too trendy/ditzy[/b]. Nail polish is a waste of time and I only wear diamond studs in my ears and my wedding/engagement band.  I couldn't even tell you the last time I purchased jewelry or heels.

Growing up I just thought boys were cooler.  Pretend play for girls was not that much fun. I rather be a pirate, a police officer, spy, cowgirl than wear princess gowns.  Kickball, jailbreak, kick the can were my all time favs. I was lucky a lot of girls around me liked to play outside and get dirty too.   It you gender associate, kids like yours will prefer being a boy.  Don't associate her clothes and toys as "boy" things.  They are "kid" things.  Let her just be a kid.   I wouldn't worry.  Her big brother is really cool and pretending to crash matchbox cars is a lot more fun than cuddling with a pretend baby doll.  [/quote]

I'm not sure you're one to be giving advice if you associate being "trendy" as also being "ditzy."  Very odd.[/quote]

Not the PP but STFU.  We all know what she means. The ditzy girls that care more about fashion and malls than school. If you can't any value to the conversation go away. [/quote]
