2008-11-01 21:35:39 UTC
*Question Repeat*For those who have seen this, I am just trying to get I wider range of answers. I am a boy, but on the inside, I feel like it is more comfortable and more fun to feel like a girl. In private, I have put on female clothes, makeup, and shoes and stuff. It just seems more fun to me. I have a feminine body I must say, I am thin and young, so don't think I am so big fat creeper. Im also not gay (which means I dont like guys for all you people who automatically relate what I do to being gay). Tips on how to feel, look, and act like a girl/woman? Please help? EDIT: So last time I asked this question a lot of people were like go see a therapist, but thats not the answer I am looking for. Right now I am comfortable with the fact that I feel better dressed as a girl.. I just want tips on how to look girly! What do you do maybe? And just something to add, someone answered a question like this with "you dress like a girl, that means you are gay, it doesnt matter if you dont like guys." Please, don't be that stupid haha. Anyway just think of this as a girl asking i guess. Provide images if you can please! images get best answer!

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with men wanting to dress like women. People say it's unnatural, but we're the ones who created the idea of men and women dressing separate. How is man-made natural? I HATE gender roles. People should be able to do whatever they want, regardless of genitalia.



Anyway, to look girly, one really easy step it to soften your facial features. Thin your eyebrows, and get hair that frames your face. Also, wear light makeup. Too much runs the risk of you looking like a drag queen. try a matte foundation, no eyeshadow. instead, take a contrasting eyeliner [purple for brown eyes, copper for green eyes, or brown for blue eyes], and smudge around the top and bottom of your eyelid, like this. http://www.naturalook.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/image/Single%20Eye%20Erica.JPG . It makes the eyes pop, without looking like too much.

For lips, a lip tint will do better than a lip stick. Again, its natural and pretty. For olive skin, try mauve, for fair skin, you can do almost anything, for peach skin, try a golden pink. http://bellabeauty.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/ambervalletta.jpg



For clothes, i'd need to know more about your body type to help you with what style to wear. You say you're skinny, so your options are almost limitless, but to get a really personal suggestion, i'd have to know more.

To feel girly, take a bubble bath, deep condition your hair, paint your nails and toenails, do a facial mask, put on yummy-smelling lotion, makeup, perfume...



To look more like a girl, I suggest buying Cosmo, Redbook, and Marie Claire and looking at all of the ads and articles in there. There are a ton of different ways to put on makeup, so get ideas from there. One thing you might be overlooking are accessories. It's really girly to wear necklaces, rings and bracelets, so maybe try wearing some.



To act more like a girl, go people-watching at the mall, beach or where ever. Watch how different girls walk. We all walk differently, but one thing you can always do is make sure you're swinging your hips back and forth. It's natural for girls, so it will be some effort on your part since it's not natural for you. Also, simply watching T.V. or going to YouTube to watch like runway shows could help.



It all comes with practice. Just observe as much as you can!

I'm not the most feminine person, but your question intrigued me, so here goes:



I always feel pretty feminine in loose, shin-length skirts. Match these with peasant blouses, and there's something really pretty about it. I also like doing traditionally womanly crafts such as needlepoint or knitting. Again, there's just something about it.



Note: Never wear a skirt without nylons. They're a pain in the ***, but they make your legs look fantastic. Furthermore, in most places it's still social faux-paux not to.



Don't swing your arms a lot when you walk, and be sure to watch your hip movement. Women naturally walk in a way that moves the hips slightly.



Women tend to blink twice as often as men. I don't know if you can train yourself to do this, but it's something to think about.



Aside from this, I'd suggest studying women you know. One thing actors learn early on is that everyone walks differently. Try modeling the walking pattern of your sister, mom, or another girl you know. You can also study her behaviors and mimic those as well.



I hope this helps at least a little. Best of luck.

maybe your mom or sister or someone has a hair straightener. If your hair is long enough you should try straightening it or curling it. Thats always fun to me! Also paint your nails and toenails a fun color. I love painting my nails! I change the color every other day. But if you don't want other people to see the paint, then just do your toes. Also, go out and buy a magazine like seventeen magazine or cosmogirl. I just love looking through the pages and trying new makeup and other fun activities inside them. Hope you have fun! ;)



Oh by the way, i really admire how comfortable you are in your own skin, so don't let anyone put you down!

You don't need to see a therapist. I'm sure you know that this is a normal thing that some people like to do.



If I were you, I'd look in to some hair extensions and accessories.



Nothing makes me feel girlier than some pretty jewelry. Also, heels make me feel very feminine. And matching lingerie. It is when I am wearing those things that I feel my most beautiful.



Good luck! Please, please don't let the rude people on here make you think there's something wrong.

Tips on how to look girly, what.

You are a guy, be happy being a guy it's the way you were born. You just be happy to be who you are, if you dress girly you will most likely be made fun of.

The number one thing is jewelery and accessories. you can wear all black but the accessories make it! hair is a MUST!

whatever your comfortable doing, do it with pride.
