Is it normal that i think i would've been better off as a guy?

I'm not a lesbian, and I'm not considering a sex change or anything crazy like that, but most days I feel more like a guy than a woman. I've never been into fashion or shopping at the mall or giggling over boys or The Notebook or any crap like that. I can't relate to any girls around me, but I don't want to come over as butch, so I keep my hair long and wear makeup and pretend like I care about Project Runway. I don't want to be a guy, but I don't feel like a girl. Is that in any way normal?

    there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with not wanting to shop.

    in fact, there is nothing inherently feminine about being obsessed with clothing and stupid fashion shows. this is just what society wants you to think is feminine. society is still deeply afraid of the intelligent woman, and that's because the intelligent woman has much more power than the intelligent man... so they try to dumb you down by making you believe all you need to do is look good.

    here's what i think.. as long as you're still attracted to men and have sexual feelings for men, there is nothing un-feminine about you. the fact is that most guys don't like stupid airheads who will spend 400$ on a stupid purse instead of splitting a 6-pack with them and a good night in the sack.

    Don't pretend, man. You'll just be even more unhappy with yourself. Be attracted to who you are attracted to, and like the things that you like. You're living for those around you right now, but you need to live for yourself. I don't know how old you are, but when I was in high school, I felt like I needed to change to fit in. So I did. I completely despise who I was in high school now, because it ruined great relationships with my family, friends, and boyfriends. It's easier out of high school. In the mean time, try to figure out who you are for yourself. What did Dr. Seuss say? Be who you are and say how you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

    Everyone feels insecure and out of step when they're young. Just know that you'll find a place to be who you are and friends who'll accept you and like you for who you are. When you look back you'll see that things that seemed earth shaking then seem trivial now. You're not the lone stranger. We all had to go through it.

    well try playing intermural sports and ull find a level of women who are warriors. ultimate frisbee or soccer is my sport of choice for this kind of mingling. its very satisfying because ur body gives u drugs for keeping it healthy. and most ppl who play these sports for a while are eye candy such as mys... my um, shit im not cocky i swear! just because u arent caught up in mainstream illusionment of the tube or net fads doesnt make you abnormal. it makes you real which might not be normal nowadays

    TomBoys are HOT! You TomBoy out to your hearts desire! I had a friend whose girlfriend is like you. All professional in the office. Out in public she tomboyed to the max. Even fullfilled her boyfriends "bi" fantasies.

    I'm a guy and I'd prefer to be a girl tbh, I think it's a sexual thing, Id prefer to be a girl because they can just stick things up there and as boys we don't have much other than normal masturbation, plus having boobs would be cool lmao, I think the reason you'd want to change is because you see something you like, and you think omg what if I had that

    Just be a Trucker, I see a lot of women truck drivers. They act like men, have short hair, and have deeper voices, but they love men and are not lesbians.

    Just My Opinion.
