Being a Goth Tomboy

Of course there is more than one type of a tomboy. There can be goth tomboys, emo tomboys, extreme tomboys and even 'girly' tomboys (though they are not necessarily that girly).

Goth Tomboys
Goth tomboys usually wear all black and have dark personalities and looks. They will usually wear some make-up such as eye-liner or eye-shadow even, but it will most likely be black or any other dark color.

Emo Tomboys
Emo tomboys are exactly what they sound like; somewhat suicidal, death-addicted tomboys. They don't care at all about their appearance and don't wear make-up at all. If they have visible self-inflicted scars on their body they usually cover them up by wearing thick clothing or gloves.

Extreme Tomboys
Extreme tomboys have more of a lesbian or bisexual nature. They are not usually interested in men, though they act exactly like them. They mainly wear guy attire and no make-up.

Girly Tomboys
Girly tomboys possess all of the traits of a tomboy but have a few exceptions; girly tomboys do wear bright colored make-up, and somewhat girly clothes. Though they still have the nature of a man, but they simply don't dress like it.

Steps to Becoming a Tomboy

There are a series of things you need to accomplish in order to become one of us. Whether or not you will be willing to make these sacrifices is entirely up to your nature:

1. Rid yourself of anything girly. Stock your closet full of sport attire or anything manly or dark colored.

2. Cut down on the make-up. Tomboys don't necessarily care about their appearance. Occasionally some foundation may be worn to cover pimples or acne scars but no bright colored eye-shadow or lip gloss.

3. Just because you're a tomboy doesn't mean you have to smell bad. You can use some fruity smelling shampoo or body wash, or even perfume if you prefer but nothing too strong.

4. Drop the girlie talk. Don't say "like" 10 times in nearly every sentence. Observe some men and try to pick up their slang. If you do this and are lucky enough, they might let you hang around them.

5. Start acting as if you were a guy. Joke around as they would but try to make it real. Men always know when a girl is a natural tomboy and when she's just faking.

6. This task comes along with a lot of self-inflicted pain and it is the main reason girlie girls refuse to convert to being a tomboy. Be rebellious. Go by your own rules. An added perk would be being a dare-devil. Hurt yourself through stunts any chance you get.

Being A Tomboy

Being a tomboy is not just a random choice you make. It is a lifestyle. People are mostly born being a tomboy. As a tomboy myself, I believe that it is an amazing style of life. Some reasons that seperate me from 'girlie girls' are that I relate a lot better with men than girls. Ever since I was little, I've had male friends swarming around me. Personally, I think it is a blessing, based on the fact that most of my guy friends have major crushes on me. I believe that men much prefer tomboys over girlie girls because tomboys provide more space, they are independent, they stick to one emotion usually, they have a mind of their own, they are expressive, cheerful, patient, they will share the man's interests and they are most likely to pamper him as well. I know these things for a fact because I have a total of 7 best guy friends, and they all have very strong feelings for me. Most girls in my school are envious since I always hang out with the cute men all day. I personally take this as a compliment, and cold-heartedly rub this male attention in their faces whenever the chance presents itself to me.
