Do guys like tough girls?

I don't look like a tough girl I'm an 18 year old Korean girl who is 4'10" My muscles are fairly big for a girl but I'm no body builder Im a size 3-4 depending on the clothing brand & Ive been a dancer from the age of 3-17 & I am in Shou Shu kung fu. Sometimes I wear dresses or skirts w/ knee high socks & heels and sometimes I wear sweat pants or jeans w/ t-shirts and boots, converse or vans. Although I have a girly side I also have another side like instead of collecting lip gloss and nail polish I collect books and pocket knives (folding knives, swiss army knives, throwing knives, daggers, etc) I also own a bow and arrows & I really want a gun and to go to the shooting range someday and be taught how to aim. I don't want my man fighting my battles whether it's w/ a girl OR a guy hence being in martial arts. In fact, in my Shou Shu class I LIKE being hit (I hope that's not too weird) Im debating between a career as either a crime scene technician or a criminal psychologist (like profiling) I dont have girly, gossipy talks about things like boys nails and hair care products but talks about things like video games, fights, guns and if Im in the right mood politics. I also like talking about life & the future but I have read on yahoo answers that a lot of guys dont like tough girls apparently women are supposed to act like "women" not like "men". I just wanted to know if I would be considered a turn off because I am "not woman enough" to be approached by men

    Just from your good looks, alone, you will be approached by a gazillion men.

    But, it's true that men don't want a woman who acts like a man. A man wants a woman to act like a woman. At the same time, that's different from being tough, and I actually like tough (I'm a guy). When I see a woman who is a police officer or in the military, that's about as tough as a woman can get, and it's a VERY big turn on to me. But, that's just me. Like, if I were to ever marry, I would be happy if my wife was in the military before, and is now a cop. I also like tomboys. I even like women who know martial arts / take martial arts classes. I like tough girls. I just don't like when a woman walks like a guy, talks like a guy, sounds like a guy, looks like a guy, dresses like a guy, etc. She's a woman. I want SOME femininity in there. She can be tough, but be a tough lady, and not try to be like a guy. That's the difference. Being like a guy is a turn off. Just being a tough lady is ok. But, many guys simply can't handle a tough lady, so her toughness scares him off.

    Nope. Doesn't sound very attractive to me.
