Sharing typical gender traits

[Wheatley]

Hey,

You hear about guy boys who claim to be girls stuck in side a boy's body. I suppose this is sorta similar (and yes, this post will be very stereotypical unfortunately) I don't mean to sound insulting, but I'm basing this on the people at my school.

So, by any stretch of that imagination I'm not camp at all (I don't have the confidence for that), only a few people know I'm gay now.

From what I know, girls are typically the ones who care more about emotions and who are more emotionally sensitive, whereas boys don't tend to so much and are more locked up about how they are feeling and what they are up to.

I'm not like this at all, I seem to only care about emotions and am very sensitive to that kind of stuff. I get very jealous and upset when "he" doesn't reply to me for a while. And I always make "him" feel awkward by asking him what he calls personal questions like "how are you" or commenting on certain things in "his" life.

I always get that feeling where I wanna talk to "him", but I never know what about. When he's round my house I'd rather just sit down, hold him and talk about stuff rather than actually doing anything physical.
"he's" not gay but he's ok with me and says he's fine with it.

Isn't this a typical characteristic of girls instead of boys?

Also, would this sort of behaviour annoy you in a relationship?

Thanks

Guys can be sensitive as well, we all have emotions, the difference is that some people like to show them more than others.

And, no, this behaviour wouldn't annoy me in a relationship, as long as the person in question didn't get too obsessive.

Hi there Wheatley! It's unfortunate how in society guys are portrayed to be really masculine and insensitive. Although i would say a girl would seem to show those characteristics more than a boy i think it's important to know that's it's not just girls who can do those things. I feel the same way about my relationships, and i care more as if i was in the girls position in the relationship y'know? I think the behavior in a relationship would be normal, but outside of a relationship with a normal guy who is not gay it might be a little strange for him. It sort of sounds like you may have a crush on him? ;) So to an answer to your first questions with yes or no, i would say yes, stereotypically speaking, and no speaking about people in general because there are boys out there that are more caring and emotional than others. :) Which is perfectly normal, and honestly i find it nice when they are more caring. :wub:

I have no idea what you're talking about because that's really just a bunch of stereotypes.

Well I feel like that too, a lot, I am sensitive and all of that. I wouldn't mind if somebody acted that way around me. I think that there shouldn't be a defining personality for someone based on gender, ie boys can't be sensitive and girls can't play football. Basic
Ally what I'm trying to say is there is no real 'typical charachteristic' based on gender, everyone is different.
