Today, my family and I ran into an older man my parents knew. He continually asked me questions like do you play football, have you started shaving yet, etc. I thought he was joking. He told my parents I had grown into quite a young man. I am a girl and he wasn't joking. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, one of my dad's work friends came over. As he was leaving, he complimented my dad on having three "strapping young boys." I informed him that I'm a girl, and I have a hormone imbalance that causes me to have a lot of hair and a deep voice. I guess my dress didn't give him a clue. FML
Today, I'm 20 years-old and I was propositioned by a 42 year-old man, who turned out to be my dad's friend who helped care for me when I was 2 to 7 years-old. FML
Today, I had to meet my mother. Being a college student, I decided I was too lazy to shave this morning. She noticed the stubble on my face, and started crying because I'm growing up. I'm 23 years-old. My dad yelled at me for making my mom cry. FML
Today, I brought a boy home for the first time, only to have my dad ask him what his mother's maiden name was. When he answered, my dad exclaimed, "Oh yeah! I think I dated her in high school. I could be your father!" FML
Today, an internet repair tech thought my dad was my husband, and seemed skeptical when I corrected him. People usually think I'm way younger than my actual age. FML
Today, I went bowling with my parents. This cute guy works there and he always flirts with me. My mom just so happened to see it today. As we left, she says to him, "You know she's 13, right?" I'm 17. FML
Today, I noticed that my facial hair had grown by an acceptable amount. I spoke to my Dad and decided to show him, thinking he would approve of my manliness. His exact words when I showed him were, "Nah, son. You just look like a lesbian." FML
Today, a cute new guy I always run into at work hit on me. Turns out he's only 18. I'm old enough to be his mom. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend if he was growing a mustache, as he had whiskers. He looked at me and said "No, but apparently you are." FML
Today, my 11-year-old son and I were going through some old photos. He saw one of me when I was 22 on a beach, wearing a bikini. He said "Wow! Who's that?" Quite proudly I said it was me. He looked at me and said "What happened?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Of course close minded assholes like you think girls need to be stereotypical with the pink sparkly shit and skirts to be identified as female. Go get bent moron.

try not to worry bout it. one of my good friends is a girl and she is not girly at all. she used to be incredibly boyish, and when we hung out, and went to the bathroom at the shopping centre or something, women would always give her weird looks and tell her to get out of the female bathroom, which is incredibly rude really. but yeah, the guy was old, so just dont worry bout it. im sure your gorgeous :)

Well technically, it's your fault for thinking it was a "joke" for so long. If someone I barely knew kept asking me questions about girly things, I'd correct them pretty quickly. Also, maybe you should take that as you should change something about yourself; at least. Oh btw, I liked how he asked if you had to shave because that obviously means you have facial so FYL.

That's too bad, maybe you just have a build that you can't do anything about. However, the shaving question is very legit. It's even sexier when a girl shaves down in the lower region.

that's pretty bad, who cares what this old man thinks. as others have suggested, maybe you can change up some things. shaving would help.
