Or more like, how can I make myself look more masculine? I like to look soft and shy, which I am, but still male. Any tips would help, thanks!

It's only been an hour, hon, give it time. :) Don't forget not everyone is able to check out every thread, and even those that do may not have anything to add. As a trans woman I don't think there's anything useful I can tell you. You might have better luck posting in this thread:

The Official 'Do I pass?' topic

Also, you can't expect this to be a one sided thing, people are more inclined to give feedback if you give feedback to their own pics, questions etc :)

Thank you. I haven't seen that thread yet, and I know. I used to come here more often but never posted a picture before. I'm just anxious. But thank you for all your help :)

I see a boy when I look at that picture. :)

Sorry I can't offer any advice on masculinizing (did I just invent a new word?) appearance. I've spent all my time trying to do the opposite with mine. :P

Really? Thank you ☺️

And did you? It sounds right. Just go with it :p

Bit hard to tell from the picture angle, but looks like young male. Could do good with a frontal face shot maybe :o?

From what I can see I see a teenage boy. However, a frontal pic with your hair brushed out of your face would really help us, help you.

Why do you want to look more masculine? Theres nothing wrong with presenting yourself as soft.
I'm a guy, and I kind of try to maintain that soft image, but mixed with a tiny bit of the masculinity.

I did grow up with two sisters and just a mom, could have something to do with it.
I feel more comfortable with the "soft" style over masculine style. I feel douchey when I try to present myself as a tough guy haha

My only masculine feature is my facial hair, so it gives me a decent mix
If I didn't have facial hair I would be extra soft. lol



I wish I could help more, but this is a challenging subject that I have very little knowledge of. Someone on the forums will definitely be able
to help

Ptarus: I just want to be masculine enough to pass as male. lol. I enjoy having the soft look, especially since I am a shy guy. It fits my personality, but again, I hate being called a girl. v.v So I'm just looking for some tips. :p You have pretty awesome eyes, by the way. XD I'm jealous.

Allyda: Teenage boy is what I'm aiming for, so I must be doing something right. XD I will post a frontal pic in the morning. Thank you.

Skyler: I'll try the frontal in the morning. Thank you :p I'm glad you're seeing some male in there. Haha.
