I sorry someone was rude to you 

I think the hat might be causing a bit of an issue, I think you should try wearing it up a little more on your head. I usually see girls wearing hats like that more toward the back of the head while guys tend to be up a little more.

You think so? The reason I wear it back is because I see girls wearing it further up, and guys farther back lol... if i wear it too far forward, it makes my head look small and way too female.

And yeah back when I first joined this site, I posted in this thread and someone was rude and killed my self esteem :\ they werent even constructive crit, and it made me not wanna come back to this site ever again ahaha

Vinnie, I just looked back through your posts. I honestly don't think you were treated that badly.  Ask a crowd of people any question, and you'll get many responses. Hugs, Devlyn

Would I pass? (I'm pre everything)


I know look too much girl here, but I'm just on the verge of whether to accept that I may be trans man or not. I've just started to go back to trying to pass.

I can't fix my face, but I can fix my hair. What hairstyle should I go for? I have a round small face (like an asian girl's face  )

I'm losing weight at the same time so I can gain a tighter figure and so then I could gain muscle mass around the shoulders and abs more. Perhaps losing fat in the face will help too?

I was trying to pass in my mid high school years, but every time I failed miserably. 

Oh great posters of manly. Give me tips and honest opinions!

If you're not against makeup, look up some videos on youtube for crossplay tutorials. They use contouring, which will make your face look less round until you can lose some of that naturally.

Thanks Soren! I will definitely look into that!

I think you have a face that could go either way, so it comes down to the way you dress and carry yourself. You do look pretty young though, I'd say like early high school age. I also have a round face and I find that short hair doesn't help, the longer it is, the more angular my face appears, so you might want to try that considering your hair is already long. Maybe just grow it out and as you lose weight see if it takes away some of the roundness.

GiantMarkirs: If you are just thinking about trying to pass again I'd say to just cut your hair a bit at first. Just on the sides and back, but the top of your head looks good. You should cut the sides to a length were you can create the illusion of side burns. Something like this guy's hair I think would work well for you.

I'll definitely try it out then thanks!

I've noticed that longer hair kind of shapes my head to be a little less rounder and I really like that! I might have to stick with layering though for side and back.

Well I expected that I look young. I just graduated high school so I guess I can't escape that high school look for now :{
I think the problem with my hair is that it's very thick compared to other people. So whenever I cut it boy short it would end up looking like some kind of afro in the end

I have the same problem with thick hair. It didn't straighten out until I got it part waist length. I put mine in a ponytail at the nape of my neck using a wet brush, just for ease, but my face looks more angular when it's down :/

Have you ever tried straightening it or using any kind of products? I know that stuff is a hassle but it should help your hair to be flatter and the product also helps to weigh it down. I think long hair suits you though, I really like your haircut in the picture you attached.

Oh and no worries, a lot of us have the problem of looking far too young. I went to buy beer once and the guy told me I looked about 12 lol, you just have to look on the brightside.

[assorted_human]

I never passed with shaggy/long hair when my face was rounder. Then again mine was thick and wavy and I was lazy.

I think you look 17.

I know I don't pass in this, but how old do I look!

[Soren]

Is that your tongue or your lip?
I see a face piercing, so I would guess at least 16 years old.

[Aido]

That's my tongue

[Soren]

That's my tongue

That's a relief. Something would have been very wrong if that was your lip

[GiantMarkirs]

You look about 17-18 to me!
I think you can totally pass as well. I wouldn't have really guessed unless I stared at you hard haha.
It's a good thing that was your tongue then!

4 years off isn't too bad, it's a compliment to look younger than you are imo. And really? In regard to your hair, that is. I don't think I pass 99% of the time anyway but I feel like I just look more butch and female with short hair, where as with longer hair I think people are more hesitant to gender me, maybe because it hides my face shape better.

I'd also say around 16. Nice ear piercing btw! 

[Jamie D]

How do you post a picture? I'm new and have no idea what I'm doing.

Please Help!

Your best bet is to read the "Announcements" board and follow the guidance there.

I am either usually seen as a kid or a gay man when I pass...it's better than not passing. Based on your avatar I can see how your long hair helps. I wouldn't even guess you face is round under it.
This was my hair back when I was 19 (6 years ago). From the front view it puffed out. I didn't pass very well as far as I remember, but I don't pass all the time now either. I do really miss that hair style though. I feel like it's just more my personality.

Aido: I think 15, but piercings say 16.
