Question Posted Tuesday September 18 2007, 7:19 pm
I'm a tomboy and all the girls at my school wear the same types of clothes from the same types of stores. All the guys that I like went out with all of those girls. They liked me but wouldn't go out with me so I don't know if it's because of me being a tomboy or what. I mean I'm not a complete tomboy,I wear some of that stuff every now and then but not all the time,so I don't know if I should just be like those girls or what. Well,also I wasn't popular and they were,so maybe that's what it was. I know you're not supposed to change who you are but I don't know what to do.
From personal experiences i have found that it is best to be yourself. If you find out who you are, trust me you are ahead of the game of life. I tried to be like all the other girls in my school and it worked i was exactly like them. However i wasn't very happy with myself being like them. We are all different for a reason, if everyone were the same then you'd already know your best friends to come and your husband to be. Variety is the spice of life. You are very special in your own way, i'm sure. You can dress a little like some of the other girls, but put your own spin on it. !! Remember, you can wear whatever clothes make you comfortable. Cause after all you make the clothes, the clothes don't make you !

im sure your great the way you are, and i know for a fact that there are guys at you school who see you more than a friend. but they might be too shy to let you know. try flirting with a cute boy that your interested in. and if its ment to be, it will happen.

AmandaMarie1989 answered Thursday September 20 2007, 9:14 pm: okay first off... (and im a fashion desginer so i know my shit) DO NOT SHOP AT HOLISTER, ABOCROBIE, OR ANY OF THAT NOT FASHION SHT THAT THOSE STUPID PREPPY GIRLS THINK IS FASHION. cause its not fashion, they just all look the damn same. Now, as for the guy stuff, do not change who you are. thats just stupid. After those boys that you like get tired of dating the same exact girl over and over and over they will look for the girl that stands out in the crowd (you). And you dont want a guy anyway that is just out to go with the girls who all look the same.
Also, if you want to start looking more fashionable and if you want to completly outdo those girls that all look the same, start shoping at boutiques. they are extremly stylish and you will completly stand out in the crowd. but stay true to your tomboyishness its who you are.

or you can change the way you dress and style your hair a bit. add accessories to your normal clothing, and be creative with your hairstyles. Those simple things can make you more noticeable with out changing who you are. [ HeyyyEdith's advice column | Ask HeyyyEdith A Question ]

first of all i applaud you for staying true to yourself... dont follow the crowd because they are getting all the "guys" believe me there will be that guy who will except you for the way you are... not because you followed everyone else...
what is popular isnt always right....
theres going to be that one guy that is like damn you like sports?
they can joke around and mess with you unlike the other gurls that are like omg you broke my nail!

clothes don't make the person!
Brandi_S answered Thursday September 20 2007, 6:03 pm: If you change who you are in the hopes of gaining a boyfriend, you are being a fake.
When you do that, you are doing harm to yourself, because you slowly lose parts of who you really are. you don't want to do that.
A guy who will choose one of those types of girl over you really isn't a guy worth your trouble.
I promise- there ARE guys out there who dig girls like you. You just haven't been looking in the right places.
