Masculinity

Dear Dr. Buff,

I am most often, 9 out of 10 people, perceived as a lesbian while I am straight. They say they assume I am a lesbian because of how masculine I act and look though I try my best to be feminine. I can't help it and it does impact my dating life. What is there to do?

 

-Too Masculine for Men

Dear Too Masculine for Men,

The best thing you can do is just be yourself. While it could be frustrating finding men that are attracted to you, it is also a gift given to you. In this sense, you would be able to know who would be worthy enough to date you. Those men who aren't attracted to you are probably just attracted to different types of girls. BUT lose no hope! There ARE men who are attracted to masculine women. Men like women who are comfortable in their own skin!

- Sports -

Dear Dr. Buff,

I can see favoritism in referees.  They often do not have a strong knowledge about the rules and lack "solid ground."  This affects the mood of my intramural team. What should I do?

 Dear Confused, Un-favored player,

Truly, if a fair win is what you seek, then approach the referees beforehand to make sure they know their stuff. Clarify some ground rules that you have been having issues with lately. Educate them, if possible! On another note, if this kind of behavior brings the team down, then why play? It is an intramural sport after all. Focus on the play, and ignore the rules. You should try that, and see how it works! 

If this continues, become a referee next year and take your revenge. Revenge is best served cold, after all. But don't tell anybody I said that.

Sleepy

 Dear Dr. Buff,

I always procrastinate on my homework because I am usually sucked in endless conversations at the Cafeteria or at my dorm. I end up staying up all night to work on my homework, then spend all day tired or napping. What do I do?

Dear Sleepybags,

Sounds like you simply aren't interested in your homework. You tell yourself subconsciously that  you don't like doing it, so you find it easy to get sucked in by any activity. Talking comes easy, so you talk for hours and procrastinate much more. My advice? Quiet down, get a study group, and do homework with intervals of breaks so you can alternate both your social life and your academics.
