The Official "Do I Pass" Thread 3 PRESENTED IN 3D!!!

[Squirrel698]

Here I am, 21 months on T.  I'm not going to bother editing out my blemishes.  They are part of the overall package.  I'm having trouble with dry skin and plan to hit up the dermatologist about that soon.   
A couple of questions:  Do you think the facial hair is working for me?  How old do you think I look?
I know I'm looking old then I use too and that's both good and bad.

[Squirrel698]

JasonRX - Just like your avatar, you pass well for me but not completely.  I think it might be the softness around your mouth.  It's hard to say but I'm confident you'll get there eventually.

fatalerror - In the faraway shots you pass fine.  I wouldn't question you coming down a dark alley.  In the headshot you don't pass to me, sorry.

Andy - You look good to me.  It's hard to see you as anything else than a guy

ty.to.the.man - Your face passes, with your shirt on your body passes, the tone of your voice passes but I don't know if You pass.  I somehow get the feeling that you are apologizing for every word that comes out of your mouth.  You do not present with much certainty.  You need to learn to exude confidence as if you are taking on the world.  That's just my opinion but yes I would know instantly if you came up and talked to me like that.  That sort of self assurance doesn't come overnight, I know, but it is something to work towards.

JasonRX -  I think it might be the softness around your mouth. It's hard to say, but I'm sure you'll get there eventually.

I'm not entirely sure what this means or why it would be a passing factor, but thank you for your opinion anyway. I honestly don't think I have trouble passing in public with my demeanor or my voice, so I've been doing alright for myself thus far. If you could explain this further, then I think it might be more helpful...I think the way you constructed your comment comes off more unnecessarily harsh than you intended it, especially with the note you end it on. =/

Also, if you're commenting on me editing out my blemishes, it's because the condition of my skin is sort of severe right now and it just doesn't look good. I don't consider dry flaky broken out skin all over the side of my cheeks and my face as something I'm necessarily proud of and I'm already being treated by a dermatologist by it, so I can do is wait. I actually posted a blog about what I've been experienced. It's calmed down since then, but it's still bad.

[Squirrel698]

I'm not any sort of expert, I look at your picture and I say what I see.  If I seem harsh, it's not what I intend in fact I was attempting to be encouraging.  My opinion is based on my own experiences.  It just so happens I know other people with a mouth like yours that happen to be feminine.  I'm sure someone else who doesn't have my point of view wouldn't see it that way.  You have to take an average when it comes to remarks and opinions on your looks.  There are always a million different directions each observation comes from. 

On T your entire face can seem to change so what you look like today is not forever.  If your demeanor says you are male I'm sure people read you that way.   

And I wasn't even thinking about your blemishes when I posted my pictures.  I was only thinking about my own which obviously there are plenty of.

@squirrel I'd say you look 27 and a half. Not sure if that's a good thing for you!

Also I like the five o'clock look, it's the one I hope to rock of I can coax some more hair in and my face cleaning crap doesn't bleach it all

[Squirrel698]

That's perfectly good, thank you Geek.  Still a good deal younger than I actually am

Hair for Men can take care of any stray pale hairs you might end up with

[Val]

@Squirrel: you look great, a perfect pass and handsome to boot, and I agree the five o' clock shadow looks nice on you. Based on the pictures I'd say you look about 24-25 to me.

[conformer]

@Squirrel698 Diggin the facial hair, it looks great on you; I'd say mid 20s.

[V M]

I'm going to agree and say that you are looking rather handsome Squirrel and the beard shadow is working for you 

I'm going to guess 32 yr.s old 

[Devin87]

Squirrel-- you definitely don't look mid-20s to me.  There's something about your face and possibly also your facial expression that looks almost 40s to me.

[Squirrel698]

Thanks for the replies and compliments everyone!  If I look world weary and wise beyond my years, Devin, I can only count that as a good thing. 

I am 32 so perfect guess V.M.  Out in the world people seem to take me for about 25 or so.

Hee Hee, I cheated    You do look mid 20's

[ty.to.the.man]

squirrel: thanks for the feedback. no one has ever told me that before so thats a good thing for me to work on. thanks!

[Wil Najera]

Looking good guys
I'm half posting because I want to be notified on the new thread, but I've also been working out a bit more recently and wondering how my passing ability's looking to you guys
I've just been referred to the gender identity clinic (I'm from the UK) so hopefully T will be in the next 6 few months fingers crossed!





Any feed back appreciated, I'm currently not sure what to do with my hair..?
Cheers guys!

you pass 100% exactly the way u are. i'm insanely jealous. id say you look about, 15-17.

[harlee]

Squirrel698, you have come so far! It makes me super excited for T  You pass 100% and I think you look about 26!

[Konnor]

Alright, I told you guys I'd post pics when I wore my suit, so here they are!

What do you think? Passing? If so, how old? I definitely don't think I look my age, but I'm pre-T.

[wheat thins are delicious]

Konner, you pass, but you look about 15-16.

[supremecatoverlord]

You pass in the second pic to me, but not the first. I'm not sure why that it is - perhaps it's the lighting or the angle of your face or both.
You look about 14-15 though.

[elliott]

Todd - London - Cheers man! It's great to get such positive feedback, and that's only a year younger than I am so being pre-T I'm not too bothered about looking young

Konnor - I think in both of those suit pictures you pass great! You do have a youthfull face like me but pre-T I don't think it's a big deal, I'd put you at about 16/17 if I met you based on people I know that age.

[Tazia of the Omineca]

Squirrel is really damn good looking, I wish I had a man that looked like him. o.o
