You Can Still Be Girly


Last week I received a message from someone lamenting how they wished that Pink Femme had existed 20 years ago and how they wish that they had the opportunity to be girly when they were younger.

That got me thinking. Is there an age when you are too old to learn a new skill or hobby? I don’t think so. The same applies to girliness.

You can still be girly. After all, the most important aspect of being girly is how you feel on the inside.

This post was created by the talented Candie Hart and originally appeared on her Tumblr blog. It is reproduced here with her kind permission. Be sure to check out more about Candie at the end of the post and give her some Pink Femme love.

This feels more like a follow-up to a previous blog.  Maybe it’s too similar to post so soon.  It needs to be said, though.  No boy is ever too old or too into life as a man to forego girliness.

For some girly boys, it’s been a part of their nature for as long as they can remember.  That’s where I fit in.  For others, they experience an “enlightening” moment when they are young and discover that there is something special, maybe entertaining, about being girly. 

This might be a parent that asks a boy to try on some girl’s clothing to test sizes for a relative.  It might be a gender-bender day at school, a powder-puff football game, or a Halloween party.  For an adult man, it might be the playfulness of a girlfriend or wife, teasing him to wear her panties for the day.  For some, it might happen through a mixture of trials and tests during a difficult time, such as a break-up and the man slides into his ex’s things left behind to feel her closeness.

I have no doubt that, in many cases, girliness in some form, provided or still provides some comfort and delight.  I don’t mean that as simply being an escape, though it can be that.  And I also don’t mean that it’s only a kink for sexual pleasure, though I think we all agree that it can be that too.  There’s a peace, a comfort, a joy in being feminine.  There’s no age limit to that.

How old are you?  Think about that.  Are you too old to learn something new, pick up a new hobby, redirect your priorities, and tune up your health?  Obviously, the answer is a big fat “no”.  We never stop developing, adapting, and evolving whether in minor ways or major ways. 

So, the obvious answer to the question, “Is it too late to be girly?” is also a big fat “no”.  Being girly or becoming girly is a development.  Dare I say that it is progress.  Not everybody would feel that way, but we girly boys would certainly see it like that.  It’s certainly not a step backward and anybody would agree with that.

With all of that said, and even with so much more that I’d like to say, let me sign off from these thoughts today to simply say that however you envisage your life to come, short or lengthy, it’s not too late.  Jump into femininity.  Wade in if you need to.  For that matter, test it out.  Because I know, really know, that whatever circumstance you are in, however you think of your life, the possibility to be girly is not only available, it’s sensational.  It really is beautiful and you are worth it.

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.

One thought on “You Can Still Be Girly

  1. Edith,
    I really appreciate your work. My wife and a neighbor helped fix me up as a lady for Halloween when I was in my 20s for a party at work. None of my coworkers realized it was me. I served drinks for four hours and did not reveal until the costume contest. I won! And got several date proposals from men in the bar. I am 60 now but still remember how great and sexy I felt. I am reading your steps with interest and completed several. Thanks!
