Hi all i was just wondering if any of your SO's act more like a guy? Mine does she throws 50lb bags of raw pvc resin onto a conveyer belt at work. She never wants to talk about our problems. She makes a big deal out of being stronger than most guys that we know. She's always flexing her muscles and making me feel how hard they are. I must of said it a thousand times since we met( she should've been a guy) Ive always thought we should switch sexes her be the male and me be the female I think we'd make a cute couple that way. Any of you ever experience this in your SO? if so tell us about it hugs and kisses Brenda

Hi Brenda,
  With me it was really the opposite. When we first got married she would dress up more but as the years went by she had gained some weight (two children) and kind of let herself go a little. When I came out to her and really started buying things for myself she started dressing nicer and started going to a salon for her hair. She also started doing her nails when I began full time. Now she dress really nice and has lost a lot of weight as I also have lost a lot of weight. I'm glad that she has started caring for herself, she needed that.

In subtle ways perhaps.

My wife has the sex drive of a pubescent boy... which doesn't match very well with my confused, hesitant sexuality.

She loves (american) football. The girl knows the names, numbers and stats of a gazillion players. It's embarassing to be around guys with her when they start talking about the weekend games, look to me for answers, and my wife ends up being the "star" of the discussion since she knows everything about all the players.

Our math/reading skills are gender-flipped: she's a prodigy with math and logic, yet sucks at reading comprehension. I'm awful at math and logic, yet I've always been a passionate reader.

She hates makeup. She used to hate dressing up to any degree, though she's taken an interest in it this last year.

She does the finances, drops off the cars for repairs and such. I do the dishes and laundry.

And yet, in spite of all these things, she projects an image and "flavour" of a very cute, girly female. Instead of it making her seem like a guy, it somehow enhances her "cuteness" as a female.

Who, me jealous? No, never, not me...

That definitely describes me and my wife.  I would say she's less femme than other women, but I wouldn't call her masculine.  Now it doesn't matter because of the quote above.  It caused too much of a rift, plus the fact that the only reason she stayed with me was because of my "man act".  Still, I'm ok with moving on.

God, I have the sex drive of a pubescent boy at the moment. Largely because I am one, metabolically. What I wouldn't give for a woman who matched that!

Course, I'd never get to work on time and my house would be a mess. But still...

Unlike some of the others who have posted here, my wife is very feminine.  On the BEM androgyny scale I am androgynous and she is feminine.

My wife . . . I wouldn't say she's more like a guy than just not quite like a traditional girl, which is wonderful.  She fixes stuff around the house and is more inclined to that--one of her previous jobs involved small motor repair--and still can bake a mean apple pie. 

She is a lot like her father, which I am sure would annoy her more if she paid attention. 

So, yeah, she acts more like a guy than I do, but I still clean out the gutters.  It's a mutual thing.

My spouse sure acts like a guy, right down to the receding hairline.  He had SRS a year after I had mine.  So our marriage license lists Robyn (me) as the husband and Emery as the wife.  That caused a little confusion at the County Clerk's office.
