Is it normal that i'm a girl and i don't like most "girly" things?
I'm not exactly a "tomboy" or anything, but I just don't see the big deal about things like clothes and makeup shopping, getting "pampered" at a salon, having fancy, expensive weddings, etc.
I don't wear makeup often because I don't like the way it makes my skin feel and I have noticed that no matter how well I wash my face afterwards, my skin always feels very dry (although I have naturally oily skin) and sometimes I will get a zit. I have absolutely zero problems with my skin when left alone. I will wear it for special occasions, but see no reason to wear it daily and it doesn't make me feel any better about myself to wear it. I love being able to rub my eyes.
I don't really like wearing fancy clothes and dress primarily for comfort. I love jeans and looser-fitting shirts (or the ones made for exercising that stay cool), and I absolutely hate the super hot, ultra-thin, clingy material that sticks to your body and seems to radiate heat that a lot of nicer shirts are made of.
I also never paint my nails because I hate how brittle they feel after wearing nail polish, it bugs me when it inevitably starts to chip, I'm very impatient about letting it dry, and I just don't see the point when nails are such a minute detail to me. I also work a job in which I use lots of chemicals and so no nail paint job would hold up anyway.
I've never gotten the thing about being pampered at a salon or whatever either. Any time I've ever had a professional haircut, I've just felt very tense and awkward and did not enjoy it at all. I just wanted to get it over with. I cut my own hair now since it's pretty simple and easy to do and I'm not overly particular about it.
I know that most girls get very excited about things like weddings too, but since I tend to be very cheap, it just seems like a waste of money in my eyes. I also don't see the point of buying super expensive designer clothes when I could buy cheap ones that still look nice instead. Shopping is a chore to me too.
