Do Guys Like Tomboys?

By Deepa Ranganathan

With time, the traditional gender bias has taken a back seat. Guys are no longer interested in having an arm candy around them or a girl who is just interested in noting the number of shoes she has in her closet. They want someone who is more of a companion, who is interested in their way of life and wants to get high on life.

Yes, there are many guys who opt for tomboyish girls. A girl who prefers chugging beer mugs instead of having a few pegs of martinis! Someone who is as mad and crazy about the outdoors as you are! In fact you would find guys looking out for girls who just behave and act like them. This does not mean that such girls are entirely devoid of any feminine traits.

THINGS NEVER TELL A TOMBOY!

Of course, they are girls and it is natural for them to have a bit of their gender rubbed in. These girls would love to go shopping, be interested in having a lot of girly stuff around them but, they don't want you to take care of them all the time like a little puppy. Yes, these girls are a bit different and they are pretty interesting.

Do Guys Like Tomboys?

But, why do guys have a love interest towards such tomboyish girls? Let's have a look, shall we?

Not The Typical Girl
When a guy wants to have fun, he does not want to be bothered listening to how a nail broke or the whiny tantrums of a girl because she is afraid of something. No, a guy wants someone who can put up with his unpredictability while loving him unconditionally. This is probably why some guys like the company of a tomboyish girl. She would adore that unpredictability, accompany him in his adventures and still love him.

Ready In Five Minutes
When a typical girl says five minutes, she will take an hour to get ready. You might get frustrated waiting for her. But that's not the case with your tomboyish girl. She gets ready in flat five minutes. She does not want to put on that extra makeup because she looks absolutely wonderful without that too. She is attractive with or without makeup. This is yet another reason why boys like tomboys!

She's A Girl Too
A tomboyish attitude does not mean in any way that she does not have any kind of feelings or she does not feel love or care. No, she is as much in love with you as you are. She also wants to be pampered, feel the love and have that one man pulling out the chair for her. She wants family, kids and all the pleasures of life. She values relations as much as you do. Probably her unnatural expression of love is what made you fall in love with her in the first place.

She's More Like You
It may sound odd but one reason why most guys like tomboys is that they like girls who speak their language. No guy wants a girl who misinterprets his simple statements. With a girl having a tomboyish attitude this is a given. She would speak your language, simple and straightforward. She would not twist the truth.

The Intimacy
Another reason why guys like tomboys is that he can speak his mind in matters related to intimacy. She will not react negatively and she won't put it off either. In fact, she's likely to have different fantasies that she would share with you. The chemistry builds up with that open attitude.
