I have both. I don't care. I like nice, sincere, funny people that share the same interests I do. I don't care if they are male or female, hetrosexual or homosexual.
I do want to say, however, that I was a bit disturbed reading this thread. I saw some pretty outdated stereotypes thrown around - girls like to talk on the phone about makeup and boys and shop a lot. And a "girly" girl is a bad thing to be.
I also noted that it was women saying these things, for the most part. That is particularly sad to me. If a group of men would have been commenting about silly girly girls painting their nails, talking on the phone and shopping, we would have jumped all over them, and rightfully so. But, here is a group of women, cutting our gender down to the bone. Sad. This isn't a healthy attitude, IMO, and not a climate to raise our daughters in. Are we saying, "If you act like a guy, that's cool. But if you act like a "girly" girl, then that is bad and women aren't going to like you." Hmmmmm..........

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
