Consider Yourself Lucky


All too often I get messages from girls bemoaning the fact that they can’t find a partner that is accepting of their girliness. On the flip side, I also hear from women who tell me that they wished that they could find a partner that understands them emotionally and be more connected to their inner girl – including letting that inner girl show herself.

I know that girls who can find a partner accepting of their girliness consider themselves lucky – just the same as women who are able to persuade a partner to let their girliness out consider themselves lucky too.

Life is too short to get caught up in misplaced norms. If you have a partner who you can see has an inner girl smoldering just beneath the surface, do what you can to encourage and support that girl. Both of you will be happier and can consider yourselves lucky to have a relationship that allows you both to grow emotionally into a stronger couple. Hugs!

For all of you ladies and gents, allow me to say this as humbly (or as proudly) as I can.  If you are in a special relationship with a girly boy, consider yourself lucky. I think any of us girly boys would consider ourselves lucky to be in a relationship with someone who understands us, tolerates, or encourages our girliness.  But flip the coin.  Any man or woman who has a girly boy partner should feel blessed to have such a relationship.

But why?  Outside of the fact that girly boys are “just plain awesome” there are many notable reasons why being in a relationship with a girly boy is a lucky draw.  We know how to be soft.  That doesn’t mean we are weak.  We might even be physically stronger than our SO.  Yet, we wish to be tender, in personality, dress, conversations, recreation, and sex.  Our understanding of the needs of our partner has a wide range.  We know how to be manly from years of indoctrination and we know how to be feminine from years of emulation. 

For the women, we get you.  For the men, we know what gets you.  lol.  With women, we know how to enjoy a day of luxury, of how to feel like a princess, and we connect emotionally from a different viewpoint than most men.  With men, we know how to be a friend, a comrade, a wingman.  We know how men think, when to give our hand of encouragement, and when to back off.  We connect with men without being distant by avoiding or ignoring the need for transparency.

That’s only a short list.  I don’t even think it’s worth being an introduction to “Life with a Girly Boy”.  Let me leave it as this.  I know that you might have concerns.  Maybe you think your present relationship with a girly boy was more of a whim or curiosity–a fantasy for him or for you.  Maybe this is the long haul and you truly love him and want to see him progress in his femininity.  Perhaps it’s less about his girliness and more about who he is.  Maybe you think of him as a girl.  Or maybe you think of him as a boy.  It doesn’t really matter, does it? 

I just want you to know that you should take some time and reflect on who you have as a friend, partner, and lover.  Yes, I’m biased.  But let me tell you something: You won’t find or more valuable individual to share your life with than a girly boy who will love you.

Much love to you all!

I stay in shape by trail running. When I am not writing posts to help you be as feminine as you can be, I work as a therapist.
