Can you name ten things

Thank you! There isn't anything, anywhere in the thread that suggested anyone was a trumpet blower.

These days the young ones are told it I important to love yourself, if you do not, no other person will. In group sessions they are told to stand in front of a mirror and repeatedly say" I love myself". My oldest son did that one day and his grandmother caught him, she was absolutely horrified at the thought and said he was far too up himself.
The things I like about myself are
my legs
my back
my eyes
my hair
my honestly
my support for others
I am hard working
Tenacious
organised
slightly OCD

As I wrote is what I like, others may not agree at all.

morgana it is quite difficult to list positive masculine traits as these, when attributed to females of the species, are not normally considered admirable. But here goes:

1.Always the first to get up and put the rubbish out when it is bin day
2.pay local tradesmen's bills on time so have reasonably good reputation in this regard
3.good at writing formal letters of complaint on behalf of others to get results
4.if properly prepared will (if pressed to do so) speak up (briefly!) at meetings to support local causes
5.always mow the grass
6.mostly drive the car even on long journeys and in strange places
7.will not hesitate to report criminal and damaging behaviour personally witnessed to police or other appropriate authority.
8. check out the fine detail of insurance policies before signing on the dotted line
9.tell the nuisance caller on the telephone where to get off
10. Walk on the side of the pavement nearest the road to protect a weaker or younger companion.

But I'm rubbish at using a Black and Decker.....

Happy-go-lucky, always singing and dancing, not phased by what goes on around me (social media etc) charitable, do my best not to judge people. Am not beautiful on the outside, but might be on the inside due to my personality traits!! Physically I am still slim at 65, my hair and nails are good and I like to wear clothes bordering on the trendy but in-keeping with my age. Yes definitely happy in my own skin as they say !!

Ten is rather a lot. Good hair, eyes, strong teeth despite their appearance, better skin than I deserve, I hope I'm kind, a good listener, can keep a secret, mostly co-operative and helpful, can be relied on in a crisis.
Ah, I'm persistent and pay attention to detail. So, that is ten things but I can't count.

1. I don't see things as problems, they're challenges.
2. I embrace challenges.
3. I don't give up on anything.
4. I give myself a little bit of praise when I succeed in any challenge, I couldn't bake for years, now I can and I get an amazing feeling being able to produce nice things for my family. Now I need to master crocheting!
5. 90% of the time I can remain calm and reasonable in any situation at home and at work.
6. I work hard at home for dc, dh and work hard at work.
7. I like my hair and skin.
8. I like that my teenage dd can talk to me about anything that worries her.
9. I train hard physically.
10. I am honest in everything.

NO

cassandra what makes your list 'masculine'? Surely these are all the attributes of a confident person?

With the possible exception of driving, these are attributes that most of my female relatives had, going back several generations. Likewise my friends - and where I knew them their mothers as well.

Are there really many people who would think any of them gender-specific? Still less when attributed to females of the species, are not normally considered admirable.

Learned helplessness is an attribute few women can afford the luxury of cultivating and intensely irritating when they do.

My DH has informed me that I am 'well organised'
