Just Enough Girly

My aunt just recently came from the Philippines and gave us handmade accessories. As I was putting on my brothers bracelet gift he had a strange look on his face.

“Too girly for you?” I asked.

“WHAT! What do you mean too girly? You think guys know what just enough girly or not enough girly is!”

He was asking why I ask if it was too girly for him as if there is ‘the right amount of girly’ for a guy. It’s not my fault! How am I suppose to know guys don’t have any level of girlish-ness?

I started hysterically laughing as he was muttering to himself shaking his head “Too girly? Pffft”

He finally ended the conversation by saying “It’s just girly enough. Not too girly though”

It also reminded me of the time that I was asked a guy what shoes he likes from a teenage girl magazine.

  1. hahah. even my metro sexual godbro doesn’t even know what’s too girly or not enough girly. haha. this entry’s funny

  2. Girly or not, I still love those bracelets with a passion that could part the Red Sea WTFWTF! Aside from the fact that they’re not “takaw-holdap” because they’re non-fancy, they’re fashionable as hell and could go with any outfit. ;-p

  3. Ahh, your blog CRACKED ME UP :D Guys are soo clueless…
    Although I have to admit I’m not too girly myself.

    Sea salt ice cream? Hmm never heard of that. In Tokyo, the capital of Japan, there is a place called Ice Cream City and there’s just uncountable flavours and types of ice cream… its amazing!

  4. Hehe, what exactly is “too girly” though? I mean, it’s a fine line, isn’t it? ;)

  5. hahaha! how old is your brother?

  6. This blog made giggle, haha. I love reading your blogs =P

  7. Hmm. How old is your brother? But if he doesn’t like the bracelet, you should keep it. ;)

  8. Haha. =P This blog was funny! You always manage to write amazing blogs. I don’t even know what’s too girly.

  9. Hey, Exene! Thank you so much for the comment!

    Heh, the comment about your brother wondering if he was expected to have a Girly radar made me laugh. That’s the kind of thing my brothers and I would probably talk about too.

    This definitely cheered me up, thanks!

  10. That’s so funny! If he’s younger then its cool. I mean, little boys? But it is so sweet!

  11. lol, Well I think jewellery looks good on men (depends on what it is, of course). Bracelets are cool!

  12. i was like O.O

    first i was in awe then i can’t help but to laugh hysterically. LOL! and i’m imagining my brother uttering those words :P

  13. That sounds like my little brother. He is VERY picky about his clothes too.

  14. Haha. Too GIRLY. That made me smile. Is there really the right range of girlyness? You made me question myself too. Haha. :D

    Really? Parents are already complaining about dumbledore being gay? Hmmm… Well a lot of people are against her novel anyway, because they think that it’s anti-christ or something. Gah.

  15. it is the ultimate dilemma, how much girly is too girly? Haha, well glad that you had time to ponder that one though :p

  16. can you post the picture? so we can see just how girly the bracelet was

    and don’t be fooled, i know several straight guys who are way way more girly than ordinary girls :D

  17. haha. at first I was confused but when I got it I found myself laughing! hahaha :)
    gosh.
    brothers,sometimes are kinda weird.
    especially mine! haha :D

  18. Haha boys can be weird about that stuff. Too girly and girly enough? Aren’t they the same hahaha :) I guess a pink shirt would be girly and a pink shirt with hearts would be too girly maybe? Hmmm.

  19. Haha, this made me giggle. Guys are strange about whether things make them look girly. I’ve never heard a girl say…hmm is this too boyish for me? Boyish enough?

  20. lmao love your blogs =)

  21. rofls, funny convo.

  22. tank you for the visit, exene! do drop by again. :)

    by the way, girly girls rule! haha.

  23. Brothers are the best :)

  24. Hahaha, that reminds me a bit like when I pointed out to my guy the scooter we got (and he loves driving around) is targeted to women in Japan and we just laughed & laughed.

  25. Hahahaha. When I need “fashion advice”, I tend to ask men. I mean, one of the major factors when I buy clothes and such is is the opposite sex would find it attractive. So it’s best to ask them, right? Same goes for fragrances :D I’ve never asked the “too girly” question, though. I just say “whaddya think of this?” I ask my dad that TONS.

  26. lol, I can’t picture any of my brothers wearing jewelry. no girly-ness for them :P

  27. Haha, I love how guys are so… out of it when it comes to fashion and accessories.
    Although I’m sure a bracelet can’t be really “girly”, unless it’s got pink and purple heart beads all over it, lmao.
    And wow, that tanning art i so cool xD And I want an air purifier, heheh. Yay for cute things.

  28. hahaha as long as it’s not pink,then it’s not too girly but heck, boys are wearing pink these days as well,lol

  29. some people were admitting the bombing. but i doubt its really them.

    haha. =)
    your aunt came from where i come from. haha =)

    funny how guys think of girly stuff. my brother once asked me why i wear this or that O_o

  30. lol, Wow. I’ve never heard of a male reaction like that. I guess that’s 2007 for ya.

  31. Hahahaha, that’s so funny! I didn’t know guys like girly things, either!

  32. Some guys just want to prove that they can find a right gift for the opposite sex. I guess there are a few who can’t pull it off. LOL.

  33. Lol.. poor guy!
    As long as he’s happy & not feeling girly!

  34. Lol, your brother is funny. There are gifts people buy for you then when they see it on you, they have to critique it before they’re happy about their purchase for you. My Aunt does that when she buys me clothes. “Hm, I don’t know if I like that color.” 20mins later - “Well, perhaps with a white pair of pants.”
