I consider myself feminine which is WAY different than girly!
Girly is pink and fashionable... obsessed with boys. Likes modern music, likes hanging out with friends, likes clothes, likes relationships, likes makeup.
A feminine girl is someone who truly appreciates and delights in her womanhood. She likes being different than boys. You'll usually find her easy to blush, just a tad classy, fond of pretty things. She wants to have the door opened for her, she likes it when a fellow takes her arm. But she doesn't flirt, or act immaturely giggly. She is usually serious... and often misunderstood.
So right, I like to keep feminine and distinctively girl-dressing... but at the same time I delight in sword-fighting and horseback riding. I even go horseback riding in skirts sometimes... it's really easy.
I model myself after Jane Austens heroic and yet soooo feminine characters.
I would rather grow up to be a Arwen than an Eowyn.
I agree 100%. You couldn't have said it better, LD.  This is exactly how I feel.

I absolutely agree with Lady Dwarf, that was an amazing explanation...because I totally fit into the "Feminine Girl" category...100%, that's so amazing, you described me perfectly....
Anyways, yes, I like Chivalry in guys, opening doors, protecting you, standing up for you etc....It's nice...  However, I know a few girls that hate that...What about everyone else on here, do you like when guys act Chivalrous?

^I don't really like guys like that.. it makes me feel a bit handicap when they do that. I'd rather they treat me like they treat their own friends. It makes me feel less awkward

Hmmm... I think its sweet and thoughtful, but it depends... If its at a public thing, or just out of the blue, its fine, but if you are out playing football with them, and they act like that.... its kinda awkward.

That's a real good explanation, Lady Dwarf. I feel more feminine than girlish, too.
@ Sidawethiel: Well, it depends on the situation if I like a guy acting chivalrous or not. A bit Chivalry is fine and sweet, but if it is too much, I feel a bit awkward sometimes..

Some of that applies to me, but not all of it. I am certainly NOT girly... but I am feminine at times. But I still love getting muddy, climbing trees and getting good and scraped up, sword fighting with my friends with dowel rods (and gaining a few bruises is fine with me), even fighting college guys (whom I can hold my own with).
But I very much try to act different than boys. I don't want to start pretending I am a boy, that's just strange. Who wants to be a boy anyway? In my experience, half of them are very unintelligent! So I do a lot of boy-ish things, but because I enjoy them, not because I'm trying to go out of my way to break the mold or something.
I love having really long hair, and it's never in any real style. I love long dresses and skirts, though I normally only wear them to Church or other things where you have to dress nicely.
Pretty much... I don't conform to anything. I've always been a bit of a rebel.
And as for boys being chivalrous... well, they hardly ever are, but when they are I appreiciate it. There are not enough guys out there willing to open the door for a lady or let them go first.

Yeah, I agree, I appreciate guys who appreciate me. Lots of my friends are too girly for my taste, actually...I'll happily sword-fight with a guy when some of my friends just roll their eyes. It's kind of funny, actually.

I'm kind of both, I think. A guy and a girl  Nearly all my friends are guys, I love sports, fighting, being loud, wearing stuff I can peel off the floor, joking around, being immature and fighting my own corner. But I love having guys around me, watching films at sleepovers with a tub of ice cream and giggling stupidly at hot film stars and I could flirt for England, to the general dismay of my boyfriend  I'm definately not feminine, I don't consider myself different to a boy in a huge amount of ways. I've been told on countless occasions by countless people, including my parents and teachers, that I'm a guy in a girl's body...
I love the whole chivalry stuff, though

Lol, thanks Larael, but now I'm definately late on topic!!
I don't know the exact reason why, but I love the story of Jeanne d'Arc. I wrote a paper on her once, and there is just something that draws me to that story!
Owh.. and sorry for the interruption, please carry on with your discussion on girliness!!

I don't think I quite know the meaning of chivalry in a person, I'm afraid so I can't compare to whether or not I like that quality in a fellow.

I think I do like it when a guy has some Chivalry inside  I mean, it is cute when they open the door, and say: lady's first ..
And I am definitely not a very girly girl  I mean, I never wear skirts, I hate make-up, and I don't like shopping at all, it is my worst nightmare
I like to be strong and brave (guy-ish) but I also love to crie at movies (girl-ish). So in fact I am a bit of both, and that makes me happy and proud

I cry at everything! Still mourning Robertt even though afterlife was last saturday, I didn't particularaly like him, and he's not even dead yet. Appart from emense empathy for characters (which is a boy thing reallym, you shouldhave seen the boys ibn my history class after mosters inc!) I'm very much the tomboy, I have 3 brothers, and a lot of my best friends are boys, so they've got a bg influence on me.
