How Girly Are You?

You have to do two things before you go below the fold: (1) tell me how girly you think you are and (2) guess how girly I am.

You Are 12% Girly

Um... you're a guy, right? If not, you're the most boyish girl in the world.
And for you, that's probably the ultimate compliment.

***You Are 16% Girly***

Well, I AM a girl. Do I have to be worried? ;)

Those quizzes aren't the least realistic. Too cliché by far.

20% girly. Coulda been lower if it wasn't for my sheer hatred of camping and my enjoyment of the color pink.

I checked everything, without even reading the questions. I am 100% girly.

I'm 12% or 16% girly, depending on my answer to "I don't have many guy friends" (I don't, but I don't have many girl friends, either).

8%! Sheesh.

Of course, as Alon said, some of those questions are measuring extraversion ... wait. Do girly girls have to be extraverted? Or just clichés?

1)I am 8% girly. I would have scored even lower except; sometimes I do feel fat. This is because I am fat. BTW, I am not a girl.

2) This is one of those trick questions, like "do these jeans make me look fat?" I'm not going to answer. How girly of you to even ask.

Heh, 8%... My sister probably would have scored the other 92%, she got all the girly genes. The grocer on the corner still called me 'young man' at 14 yrs old, that's how much of a tomboy I was - OK, still am. Hey, I'm growing my hair! Stopgap solution, yep, but it does get my mom off my back. Anyway, given the questions? 'Most boyish' is such a compliment indeed.

Why is growing one's hair a girly thing? I used to grow my hair, not out of girlishness, but out of sheer laziness. Surely not caring enough about looks to groom myself would be considered a masculine characteristic...

0% girly but 100% missing Birds in the News. What's the status of that feature?

12% here too. I didn't even know what half of those questions were referring to. Who is Hillary Duff? What is the Gilmore Girls? Hot Topic? Maybe I'm only 12% materialist, pop-culture American.

I can't say I'm impressed by anyone who thinks you can be unathletic but do a "girly" spot like gymnastics. Women's gymnastics is one of the most high-impact sports there is, which is why you very rarely see adults doing it. I have the incipient arthritis, whiplash, joint damage, and lower back problems to prove it.

Martial arts? WAY easier on the body.

I got 16% because I own dresses and jewelry. It didn't ask if I wear them.

(Robin, Hot Topic is a rather commercialized Goth clothing store. They have quite a bit of clothing I personally would consider "girly" with a Gothic twist--moody fairies and black lace and cheap corsets abound--but I suspect the writer of the quiz has never actually been in one. Most "real" Goths wouldn't be caught dead in one.)
