So, I'm just curious...
My response to the order these books came out with was "why did For Young Women Only come out first???", because I suspect that guys are more puzzled by girls than vice versa...
I'm wondering- do the girls disagree?
Just thought I'd help get a ball rolling...

i'm sure the boys are much more confused, becase we tend to send mixed messages. but i do think that now that us young women understand them they can now understand us and we'll be on the same page, but they could have waited and put them out together.

It would have been cool if FYMO and FYWO came out at the same time... then maybe
the guys wouldn't seem so shocked by my randomness and such<img src=/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif width=20 height=20> |

i don't know... but i'm just curious how on earth
they are gonna be able to describe girls
and write it down on paper cuz we are very complex.....
and also in FYMO are they gonna talk anything
about tomboys??? i mean cuz im 100% heterosexual
i love guys and wanna find my knight in shining armor, and etc.
but i am a tomboy.... i dont dress like a guy or anything but
im a major tomboy.... i play guitar, skateboard, basketball, etc.
so do you think they will discuss tomboys in it?? |

Dramakween, what's so puzzling about girls for me personally, is how your mind works... because people say you think differently, and I don't quite understand what that means... (especially when it comes to how you think about guys)
maycee- I don't know how they're gonna do it, but they're gonna figure out how to tell us guys somehow. (quite frankly, I think guys are pretty complex too- are we portrayed otherwise in FYWO?)
And yeah, they will probably talk about tomboys... at least I hope they do, because I have several friends who are tomboys... and I find them a little more confusing than regular girls, because of the times when they act kinda like guys...
As to the last two posts, if you know that tomboys act differently around guys, then can you say how? Because I think that if anything gets me mixed up about tomboys, it's when they seem like a guy in a girl's body, and suddenly the girl comes out, and the contrast can be shocking... |

| Ok so as far as a tomboy goes, I think they are only differnent cause they enjoy different things then most girls. Such as skateboarding, and all that. Funny thing is I think every girl has a girly side and a tomboy side. Some may have more then others, but most of us fall in the middle. Like me, I like make up, getting dressed up for dances, looking pretty and all that, but I don't mind riding the ATV through the mud, going to the shooting range for a while and getting dirty under my dads car when changing the oil. Witch brings up another question: witch side do guys like better? |

| i think guys would probably like which ever side is more us... like which side is more of who we really are.. or maybe they like different types... this one guy i know only dates preppy girls who are extremely girly... but this other guy i know mostly dates tomboys.... and i know there have to be guys who like both sides, but i think if the guy truly likes us for who we are as a person it won't matter which side we tend to lean to... |

| i used to be a total tomboy like i hated wearing makeup, didn't understand why girls didn't like playing football in the mud and now i love to dress up and go to parties kinda thing. i still love to play football, but it almost seems like guys refuse to accept that now that we're in high school. i would love to read fymo and see what they are saying about girls... |

Well... im the whole "Tomboy" issue... i probably lean more towards the tomboy side... Like i luv makeup and being girly and Im a cheerleader, but i luv videogames, wwe, american gladiator, dragon ball z, paintball etc and I like being "gangsta" too even though its a contrast to "cheerleader..." i think its harder for tomboys to let guys know they like them because, well, they will talk about stuff like videogames to the guy they like and the guy might think they are "Trying" to be into the same things they are into, but in actual fact, we really are!
Probably a big sign a tomboy likes you is if she try's to be more girly... and I agree with the girl before who said every girl has both a girly side and a tomboy side. like i luv getting dressed up for a ball and wearing a dress, but normally, I wear jeans, but that might have to do with me being a dancer and spontaneously doing cartwheels etc.
and yes, i think guys are more confused with us girls then we are with them, cuz guys tend to be straight forward, and girls (including me) give lots of mixed signals. like If i think i may have said something to the guy i like, like "I think its so cool how you are a really caring guy" that might indicate that I like him, ill immediately say something like "I mean, you are the most awesome friend to come to when I need help..." ill throw out the "Friend" card, even though I do actually think of him as more than a friend... so yeah, i wonder how they will describe how guys can tell when we like them, cuz we are REALLY hard to explain! |

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

| i wonder if they will do that thing where they say "most" girls feel this way or that... like in FYWO they said that simply most guys felt this way and that a small percentage felt different, so i wonder if tomboys will fall into the category of that small percentage that feel different than the majority of the girls for the surveys... |

So... anyone for a show of hands that this will be a bigger book than War and Peace? :-)
Quite honestly, I think it totally depends on the guy- I think I tend to like girls who are somewhat balanced... I mean, the hardcore tomboys I know tend to annoy me because they don't like being treated like a girl, and some of the really girly girls I've run into are just really hard to relate to... not to mention they don't usually like actually doing anything... so yeah, I think it really depends, some guys like the tomboys, some the "princesses" (you know what I mean... as in the stereotype)...
About how they're gonna write it? I suppose only a very few could answer that... however I'm guessing that girls are about as similar as guys... we're all kinda the same at the very base. It'd be kinda cool if they wrote about girls in general, then did what Relient K did in their book (The Complex Infrastructure Known As The Female Mind... it's pretty funny, and has a penguin on the cover, so it's cool) and bring out the types in girls... who knows- maybe the guys will come on and start asking questions not addressed... and maybe those will be answered in future editions!
And I wouldn't worry about tomboys being a small percentage... they're pretty prevalent... |

Wow. i would not know how they would show us as a whole you know?
Cause i mean yeah we are females and i even confuse myself with
how i think at times. But i think you'd be surprised I'm in the middle of reading
FYWO. It's heaps good! i mean i used to be so sour towards guys thinking that they are only
out for one thing, and well at times it can be. But i never took in to detail about everything.
ANYWAYS!!
When reading this book, I realized that guys are very aware of their emotions. i think that in the FYMO they will describe what we feel and what causes us to be so emotional. But i also think it's just that We all want to be loved (girls).
Peace. xx
God bless. |

yes, yes, yes nikki! exactlyyy. we SO want to be loved. for guys, it's respect. for girls, it's love. after reading FYWO, that completely opened my eyes! and my thinking has been completely altered. i'm learning that, yeah, my boyfriend likes when i'm loving and kind to him. but for the most part, he cherishes the moments when i choose to respect him in front of others and with just the two of us. it's hard, but i have to try. i REALLY want to get him the FYMO book [is it out yet?!] because i really want him to realize that i need his love more than i need his respect, y'know?

Yeah!
I know what you're saying!
I like being reeespected and cared for..
but i mean i hate feeling like i'm not loved, ya know?
It is our desire that we be loved.
*sigh*
and we may drop hints and clues and so on but they NEVER realize that we just want to be loved |
