BSB are very girly

Its fan fiction. Its all fantasy. A lot of it has to do with the fact that most of us are girls and thats how we see the guys. Nothing wrong with that. Some guys can use a little femininity.

I definitely agree with this, Julie. I love to over dramatize the boys and have them cry and be angsty. I also try my best to give them manly dialogue, but they still do seem very girly to me. Then again I think you're also right about how they sing cheesy love songs and dance. It's hard to be very manly when that's your career lol

This made me laugh so hard!

RokofAges75:
LOL thanks!  Yeah, as far as guys go, they're really not the most macho to begin with.  I like a guy who likes sports and other "guy stuff," but isn't afraid to be sensitive too.

Rose:
LOL seriously, and these are the same boys who are always hitting each other on the butt, kissing each other playfully... I don't wanna know how many times I've said "And they wonder why people think they're gay" LMAO.
