I'm confused as well.

My only hang up, I am kind of fearful of fixing electrical things. I'll change out an electrical outlet or light switch, but that's about it (and even then I turn off the main breaker, lol).
You're good in my book.

You already know you're good in my book.

Nope, I'll take the brashness and openness of New Englanders anytime over the fakeness of the west coast.

Regardless, I've seen far more feminine women in Boston than I ever did on the west coast. Riding the subway this morning I saw women who are dressed to the nines for work, full makeup, hair, designer bags, nice jackets, scarves and boots. Since moving here, I've actually upped my style quite a bit and stopped being as 'tomboyish' as I was in CA.

As for the bolded... my bf and I had a conversation about this not too long ago and he said he KNOWS I don't necessarily need him, but the fact that I want him in my life makes him happy. I think that's the difference... do I want to be with a man who needs me in his life, or one who doesn't need me but chooses to have me because he enjoys my being around. Easy choice, really.
I never said there weren't any feminine women in Boston at all. But they're in the minority. I just came from back there after a family emergency. I purposely looked at women on the streets. Nope, still fat, ugly, barf-inspiring, annoying New England womenz. Their faces are just as ugly as I've seen anywhere in USA. Their butts are waaay bigger than nicely fit SF women. Their aura is that of cold attitudes and unfriendliness. They're still difficult to approach. I say - no thanks. Please keep these things out of California. Or any other place I might move to.

As for the need thing - this is another reason why American women over there were crossed off the list for me. If you don't need the guy, it means the second you get tired you will throw him away and find a new one (or not at all). And same goes for him. It's like wanting a new car or laptop. Do you need them? No. But you want them, right? But you change these from time to time. Same with your significant other. It's just another gadget.

I have no problem with feminine women, quite the opposite in fact, but I do have a problem with girly women, the ones who speak with that creepy baby voice.

If they're so fat and ugly, why is it a problem that they're unapprochable? It seems to me like a bad case of the fox and the grapes. By the way, I've been to many places where women are supposedly unapprochable and I never had any problems in that respect. Maybe you're not up to scratch?

I see gorgeous, thin, fit women in Boston constantly... I'm talking every single time I go out. I definitely don't see them as the minority. I actually ramped up my exercise and diet routine partially because of how pretty the women are around here.

I grew up in CA and left in part because of the obnoxious attitudes of the people there.

So unless your family consists only of men, the women in your family are fat, ugly, barf-inspiring and annoying?

Also, do you understand that not everyone lives in the same place their entire life?

Anyone who cannot stand the sight of a woman wielding a power tool should never buy a fixer-upper home with their partner.

A girly-girl would never consent to a fixer upper.
