#2 - Not all girls are the same

Believe it or not, there is no one label that applies to every girl. Sure, there are some general definitions that may end up applying to most of the women you know, but beyond the fact that we're all chock full of Estrogen and other female hormones, you cannot fit all girls into one category. Not even “loves chocolate” defines all of us, as Kaylla has proved.  For every rule there are always exceptions, deviants, crossovers, rule breakers and free spirits. The fear of becoming a stereotype, as well as our natural individuality, leads us to almost urgently demonstrate our differences to the world. So the second thing that every guy needs to know is this: that not all girls are the same.


The two most broad labels for girls are tomboy and girly-girl. Within each of these there are sub-labels. "Athletic", "Techhie", "Cowgirl", etc. all fall under the tomboy label. Tomboys are generally a bit more rough-and-tumble, especially when it comes to appearance, while girly-girl implies more "traditional", feminine women. Tomboys really like their action movies, while girly-girls are all for chick flicks/romantic dramas. Girly-girl sub-labels include "Preppy", "Cheerleader" and "Romantic". Then there are the in-betweeners -- which might mean those of us that simply consider ourselves to have a little bit of both. We love Bourne just as much as we love Jane Austen, we like our blue jeans and sweatpants just as much as a nice blouse or cute skirt. Other in-betweeners can be those that just don't really fit in either category at all, like "Nerds", "Hippies" and "General Weirdos" (which are all awesome things to be:D). 

If nothing else, the one thing that you should really take from this post is that no girl wants to be treated like just another regular person, more of the same old thing. You should never expect a girl to act like every other female you've ever met. Whether it's immediately apparent or you have to do a little digging, she's special, unique, one-of-a-kind -- and she wants you to notice it.
