Oh I was definitely a tomboy. I loved to play in the mud, climb trees, and just generally get dirty. I hated wearing dresses and pink and purple were my least favorite colors. I still consider myself a tomboy. I'm obsessed with sports and the res I still consider myself a tomboy. I'm obsessed with sports and would much rather wear jeans and flip-flops then to ever put on heels with a skirt or dress. And I rarely ever wear makeup.

I've heard the term recently too. We have friends with twin girls and they have commented that one of them is much more of a tomboy and the other is more girly.

I am a proud Tomboy! I played sports, got dirty, wasn't super frilly. As I have gotten older I am a little more feminine.

I haven't heard the term in along while.

Nah. I was a straight up bookworm. Always had my nose in a book - didn't have time to run around and get dirty

Although I was decent enough at sports and really not interested in dressing up or wearing heels or doing my hair/makeup (still am not to this day either).

Absolutely.

Yes! But when I tell that to people who didn't know me growing up, they look at me skeptically because I am usually dressed up for work.

I completely was. I grew up with two brothers and a single mom who never tried to encourage girl behavior. I was into all the stereotypical boy things and wore boy cloths too. Although my mom made me wear dresses for holidays. My mom tried to get me into Girl Scouts as my brothers did Boy Scouts and I didn't join because I thought it was dumb to bake things and make arts and crafts. I wanted to do all the boy things. Now I'm much more girly but still many of the same things.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I wish my Girl Scout troop did things like that! I quit Girl Scouts after a year because my troop sounds a lot more like @Eko: and I told my mom that I wanted to be a Boy Scout instead. I wanted to be able to go hiking, camping, etc.!

I still am! I don't use or prefer the term, because I don't really believe in a lot of societal gender rules.

I have always loved being outside, camping, hiking, fishing, growing up I preferred (and still do!) outside chores, climbing trees. I've never worn makeup, but have always had long hair and daily wear dresses.

Growing up my Dad was active in our lives teaching us to hunt and fish and camp and other outside activities. He always said he was raising us as people, vs. boys or girls.
