Why am i becoming more "girlie"? Is it a normal part of womanhood?

Question

I've kinda been a tomboy growing up - liked sports, video games, actions movies YET i've also been girlie but not too much. I'm a simple girl - easygoing, non dramatic, and silly. Now growing up in my early 20's, my identity has shifted. Don't get me wrong, i still love all those guy stuff but i LOVE and becoming immersed in womanly stuff.

- i LOVE "s*x and in the city". i never thought i'd like it and make fun of it before but after the movie, i BONDED with it

- i find myself viewing makeup as important. Not obsessive but I like to buy makeup that makes me look presentable. I don't wear too much but I take pride in looking good

- FASHION - i find myself looking through vogue and finding ways and on how to rearrange outfits

- Guys- i'm a freakin TRAINWRECK and EMOTIONAL when it comes to guys now, well not really...i'm just affected now than i was before. The older i get, the more i don't understand them and find myself becoming like those insecure, jealous girls i never wanted to be. :/

- i LOVE working on my body - feeling good (reading self spirit books), looking good (the clothes, makeup) and just WOKRING OUT - i want to look good and be healthy.

- i LOVE drinks! Girlie drinks... :)

This is, everything i'm becoming, i used to cringe and hope i wouldn't become but I am... i used to make fun of these type of girls growing up and now..WHY? Is this normal?

Answer 1

I think at some point in some way all girls get girlie in certain ways. I love being one of the guys but I love to look good too. I think that it is all a part of finding yourself and growing not becoming more girlie. Some girlie girls get a bit tomboyish when they are older so I think it goes either way. Me personally I like to ride atvs, I love tattoo!!, I like to drink both shots with the boys and girlie drinks, I dance and dress nice so it is just who you are ...you know!

Answer 2

it's okay to feel the way you do. I was exactly the same then BOOM all of a sudden i was into all the things that girls LOVE. I couldnt understand it myself. I couldnt understand my obbession with shoes or fashion.but in the end i fured out that if you cant beat em you might as well join them.It hasnt stopped me from doing the things that i still like tho so i dont see why you should.
