    Thanks for quoting my post it actually reminded me that I wanted to repost, kept forgetting to do so!

    Leaving the album open for a few days. I'm really just looking for advice on how I can make myself look older as I've just turned 18 and am going to university in September so it's going to be increasingly more difficult to be read as a guy until I get on T as people will know how old I am.

    Thanks for any advice on this!

    Hi! I know I don't pass very well but I wondering if anyone could give me any advice on how to pass a little better or look more my age since I'm almost 21? I won't be able to start T for at least another year so I'm trying to find advice on what to do in the meantime. Thanks!

    I think... and this is just an opinion...

    1.) Eyebrows too pretty. Of which I am jealous as hell about but know you don't like.
    2.) If you had more spiky hair I think it would do wonders for you.

    Again just my opinion.

    However your facial structure definitely has masculine qualities to it. And that is the most important part. And your sunglasses frame your face well. That picture I'd say you pass well.

    well you could let your eyebrows grow in as guys usually dont bother doing anything with them. but you're 18 starting uni, enjoy it, most of your class mates will be the same age and you'll get older in good time. T will make it more manly, but being a guy is more than the look, its the feel, confidence, the energy. and body movements, watch guys move and walk, and try to adopt the same.

    Totally this. I read guys more because they stand tall, swagger, project their voices, etc... Tends to be the case that feminine charisma tries to enchant, masculine charisma overpowers - in both cases you simply cannot help but like the people projecting this charm.

    *Grins* No problem. I speak the truth.

    Bumping.

    Hey guys! So, I'm starting school in a few weeks and I really want to present super fem for the first day. Ive uploaded a pic in the linked album of it, and I want to see how well I'm passing. Also, just out of curiosity, I'd love some opinions on hair cuts, as I'm going in to get mine trimmed up but have no idea what kinds of styles would suit me and still look feminine.

    Definitely pass, but i would go for a darker colored top if the same cut. It will help make your shoulders look narrower. And hair is subjective, so i would dig around youtune and findsomething you like

    Smile :slight_smile: As the "standard/neutral" expression, keep a subtle hint of a smile; it will also help your mood, phychologists say ("fake it till you make it").
    Hair a bit in the eyes is ok, but only on one side: choose left or right. One side in front, the other behind a ear. (In my opinion)
