How do I turn into a girly girl?

Question

I know this sounds stupid, but I'm tried of boys seeing me as one of the guys. I'm sick of it! My friends (my friends who are girls) also think as me like a tom-boy of the group. I don't even like sports! It's so bothering me. I don't know what to do with myself.

Answer 1

I don't know how old you are, but sometimes it's better to be one of the guys. You know them and understand them way better than the girly girls do. Once you develop and start experimenting with a sexier style, you'll be a power chick. The hottest girls are the ones who look great, but can also be themselves around the guys.

Answer 2

Girly Girl???.. Piss and Moan all the time about the littlest thing that happens that you don't approve of, wear the latest fashion trend at all times, and be stuck up and don't pay any attention to the normal people around you... or at least that is what my daughter complains about why she doesn't like girly girls.



But if you are meaning 'be more feminine'.. put on some make-up, care about how your hair is styled, and wear a little more feminine clothing.. IE: boys clothing is not feminine, no more comfy hoodies, and baggy pants...K?

My daughter is "developing" and is wearing all of the baggy hoodies that are so popular right now, because she is not used to her new curves, and doesn't really want the boys to notice that she IS getting curves.



She wants to be more feminine, and is experimenting with makeup, but still doesn't like dresses at all.. which is fine, but can become a comfort habit that later you aren't even aware you are doing.



I was a tom-boy when I was younger, but I was also the "tough-chic", and if I wore things that were too feminine, I felt out of place. Never the less, I began wearing jean skirts that were comfortable for me in texture, and still more feminine than just blue jeans, subtle changes like that were more comfortable for me. Instead of a ponytail, I started trying to curl into a style (which is really hard on your hair).. and I used so many aerosol cans of hairspray that I stand up now and take responsibility for personally damaging the o-zone!



You don't have to do much to be more feminine, a little makeup.. and not alot.. it looks gaudy.. goes a long way, a nice outfit "that you are comfortable in", will help, it's not how good the curves look in the clothes, it's how good you feel in the clothes, that will give you an extra boost of confidence and make you walk differently, and people will notice.

Answer 3

It's more important to be yourself than someone's idea of "girly girl". No one can keep up a mask that is not the real them forever. In fact, trying to do that is a good way to become an alcoholic, into drugs, get an ulcer or otherwise act out inappropriately.



Your best bet is to start with you. Then, look around for clues about things you can add or subtract to be more feminine. Personally, I started with nail polish. You don't have to go with pink. Just the fact you are taking the time to groom yourself & do nail polish is a step in the direction you want to go. While you are in that part of the store, you can look around for ideas of what you can try next. You can try just about any type of cosmetic for under $10.



If you see a certain scarf, shirt, shoes, etc. that you like on another woman or in a magazine, copy the idea. You don't have to run out and get the exact same thing, but change something you already have by wearing it differently.



For instance, wear a button down shirt partially open showing a lacy or bright colored camisole/tank top instead of buttoned all the way to your chin. That's kind of flirty and feminine. If you like how someone did their hair, maybe you can try a version of that hair style on yourself. To make it more personal, you could add hair clips or combs to change the length or hold it in place. Again, accessories under $10. Save the hair cuts, perms, gel and more expensive stuff until you are more comfortable fiddling with yourself.



Basically, start looking at things differently. Figure out how to make things you consider feminine, that you like, your own thing. Your buddies may try to make you feel weird for trying out new stuff. But before you know it, they'll probably be copying you. They were just too chicken to experiment.

Answer 4

Well you could go for the "overnight" makeover, but I suggest starting subtle.



First. Go to a salon and get your hair cut, styled, ect. It doesn't have to be the newest trend or hottest fashion. Just somthing that compliments your face and molds your stlyle.



2. Go to Walmart. They have cheap clothes and lots of great accsessories. Find some items you can pair with things you already own for cute new outfits. I also suggest saving up if you really want a designer piece to layer your look around. Go to thrift stores and the Salvation Army. If you look hard enough you can find gems, like really cute vintage sweaters, and you can be sure nobody else will have the same thing. Plus they usally have awsome retro heels; like pumps in unuasual colors.



3. If you don't do makeup go to a department store, they give free makeovers. And will show you how to do your face. Just be sure to buy somthing in return.



4. Painted nails look pretty! All you need is a nail file, clear polish ( topcoat ), and color of your choice. If your nails are in really bad condition get a medicated base coat.



5. Experiment!!!!!

Answer 5

If you seem somewhat tomboy-ish now then I'm guessing that's what you're generally comfortable with. So don't try to pull a total 180; you probably won't like it too much since it's just not you.

I tended to look not-so-feminine when I was younger because I LOATHED girly girls & didn't want to be high-maintenance like them. But like you, I got sick of looking like one of the guys. The only real changes I made were:

1. Started wearing clothes that weren't quite so baggy (but NOT ultra-tight)

2. Took note of what kinds of feminine clothes I liked & looked out for them when shopping

3. Started wearing a bit of makeup here n' there

4. Wore a bit more jewelry.

That way I started looking a bit different but still felt like I was being myself.

As far as interests- don't try to change them. Do your thing, be who you are. It just might pay off eventually- trust me on that one. ;-) Not all guys like girly girls....

Answer 6

You don't have to be a 'girly girl' to look cute and make guys notice you. Just go shopping and try as many different styles as you can to figure out what makes you feel most comfortable. Look for clothes that actually fit you well and make you look your best (instead of just following trends.) Try a new hairstyle. Experiment with makeup. Sometimes it just takes a little while to find a style that is really 'you.'

Answer 7

I wanted to become a girly-girl too, but no matter how hard I tried, I didn't like it. I hardly ever wear pink, or put my hair up, or wear short skirts. I was born a tomgirl. Be happy with who you are! Tomgirls can do a lot of things a girly-girl won't/can't do. Ha!

Answer 8

well, get a make over. Ask some of your friends, if they would be willing to help you with that. I think it would be a fun activity as a group. If you don't feel comfortable with that, talk to someone who you think migh tbe able to help you. You can always go to the store and tell teh clerk to help you look pretty, then get your nails and hair done, and voila. Unfortunetly, it's jsut not cheap.

Answer 9

Well gurl, go get your hair done, nails done, go shopping & get an outfit thats super cute, that you usually never wear, freshen up yo face with a lil bit of make0up (Not alot cuz guys dont like Barbie Doll clonez) Just do gurly stuff that u normally dont do! Have fun & good luck!

Answer 10

You don't turn into a girly girl. You are just born one. I know your friends are pressuring you to be one, but if it is your nature to be a tomboy, then that's who you should be. Be yourself. You friends are putting you under peer pressure. I'm also a tomboy, I don't care what other people think about the way I dress, and my friends like me for who I am. If your friends don't accept you for who you are, maybe it's time to get some new friends.

Answer 11

Wear 'clingy' (not slutty!) clothes that compliment your figure. A little bit of make up and a cute hairdo (no ponytails!) Paint your fingers and toes, and carry a cute bag!!!
