I like tomboys. Too bad they're very rare here in California. I went to school for engineering and even then most of my female classmates were very feminine. I thought that women in engineering were mostly tomboys--why ain't that so?

Because people are not a collection of traits you can arrange to serve as an object of selfish desire.
As an electrical engineering major, most of my female classmates were just as feminine as any other girls. I don't know how that's hard to believe. Maybe because most females at my school's engineering department were Asian, mostly Chinese, and among the Chinese community there's less of this idea that engineering is this masculine field. In fact, you'll find that the proportion of girls in engineering among the Chinese community is much higher than it is among white girls.
But maybe you have a different experience. So how are the women in engineering over where you work?

Maybe you didn't understand my post.... I'm not disagreeing... 24 years in engineering/computer sciences and there is no correlation that I've noticed that ties engineering (or any other technical field) to masculine or tomboy women.

Right. I misunderstood for sure. Maybe it's time for me to give up stereotyping people by profession.
I didn't want to put 'masculine women', because that conveys the wrong idea, although I think 'tomboy' more refers to girls rather than women.
Anyway I kinda dig it...not so much really butch women whom you have to look at their chests to even KNOW they're women, but those who have 'male' interests, aren't too into makeup, don't cry at every soppy movie or even like 'chick flicks', not JUST that, but also have an adrogynous edge, and don't always have to play the 'female' in the relationship.
I like variety and appreciate different types of women - really girly/femme ones can be appealing, but at other times more androgynous women seem to have more sex appeal to me.
Anyone in the same boat as me? lol
some do, some dont. But overall, it's likely her appearance and attitude matter more than if she likes sports and cars and not shopping and handbags. Average guy isn't going to hold a girl that wears minimal makeup, dresses casually, likes guy stuff against her. Other women, definitely will though.
Also recognize, there's a big difference between "tomboy" and foul mouthed butch b.>>tch that cares nothing for her appearance
I love how it's 2019, but we're still characterizing people's interest based on gender.
Geez.
