Passing... what are the most quintessential female traits?

[tinkerbell]

Someone, please mention the HUGE differences in table manners!

tink

I will mentoin them tink, just for you.

The HUGE difference in table manners is women have them.

Ok seriously.  Women hold their utensils like you see in ettiquette books.  Men hold them like cavemen hold clubs: closed fisted over the handle. 

Women take actual, honest-to-god bites.  Men tend to do that shovel/scoop thing.

Women will admire an attractive dinnerware pattern.  Men will get worried when they begin to see it under the mound of food.

Ok, that last one was just being funny.  I've notcied the first two a lot though.

Ever notice how girlfriends don't always finish sentences?  Not sure if guys do this or not.

Ever notice how girlfriends go on tangents and always seem to follow the conversation?  This could just be me since I think in some very non-linear patterns.  I drive people (ie: men) crazy keeping up with me.  I know how I got there, at any rate.

Awww...thank you so much, Emme.  Indeed! 

There is one and ONLY one ladies - ATTITUDE!

Every natural-born girl KNOWS she's a girl and that's all that matters, even if she is built like a linebacker and has a voice like a fog horn or rides a Harley and dresses in leathers and chains! She knows who and what she is and that's that! She isn't "passing" she is just BEING who she is and is not apologetic about it.

Only transsexuals worry about "passing" and that  gives off huge vibes of insecurity.

  Your wonderful quote is now part of my thread (Re: Tink's favorite quotes from our members)

girls sway more when they walk (but always just chalked this up to body differences - the hips, butt, and thighs make them move differently - or so I assumed it was)

Body differences or not... I have always censored myself in boy mode becuase that's how
I learned to walk I guess... got teased in school for it a couple of times. It's all about loose hips... the looser
the sexier and more exaggerated the walk becomes.  I've "let" myself do this when nobody was watching even before i
really admitted I was TS. (BTW you also run faster like that lol)

girls involuntarily mess with their hair and don't realize they're doing it. usually when they're in deep thought

Thats so cool Nero.. I do that alot lol

Have you any more similar tips? It's these little things that make so much difference.

Um... lets see... facial expressions (some of these might not work for ya if your older LOL)

The subtle bite of one side of the bottom lip while leaning the forehead closer ... "I want you now baby"

The turn of the head slightly while keeping your eyes locked on to theirs... "Are you sure?"

Dropping the the mouth open while pulling the chin in "I can't believe you just did that"...
this can be done smiling or angry

Mouth closed, slight pucker, pointed stare "You are in big trouble mister"

Cheezy partial smile showing a little teeth "I hear you but I don't agree"

Big smile, pointed gazing stare head cocked forward "Come talk to me... I want you now"

Head cocked to one side and turned, eyes locked "Just what are you all about?"

Mouth open, tongue touching the upper lip, head forward, eyes on you "Wanna play?"

Hand on neck, mouth slightly open, blank stare "I'm dreaming of you right now?"

Eyes rolled up "You are so lame"

Mouth slightly open, teeth clenched, tongue just poking through  "I'd like to tell you off but I'm holding back"

Head still, eyes looking off to one side "I'm thinking"

Smiling, normally... "This is me walking into the room, take my picture" (I've noticed that most females
when they are relaxed have quite a bit more facial tension and almost a slight smile, whereas men look
like they are sad when they are relaxed)

This is not an expression but females smile differently... I think men must tend to pull the upper
lip down or leave it neutral and it make the upper lip disappear. Women tend to pull the upper lip up and it makes
the lip appear bigger. It also pulls the cheeks up. It's almost like trying to move your nose up, once you learn
it it's easy to smile in a more feminine manner... it really helps us because it shows more of the upper lip and makes
the upper lip shorter and the cheeks bigger. All problems with a male face trying to look feminine.

A lot of these are related to sex... I think because women use many more non-verbal clues when
dealing with men... it's easy to give them a look that to say something stupid.

I really had no idea how many of these I had but apparently I've been taking pretty good
notes, I think I've got tons more, anybody want me to go on?

OMG! I so do all these things and have for ever as a "guy" I love it!

[Rita Irene]

Actually now that I read the entire thread....I realize more now that I did all these things all my life as a guy...people did make fun on occasion, but I didnt think much of it.

Good to know Ive acted like a girl all my life!

Nice thread....

Lack of rage, especially road rage. Sure, they get upset and angry, but very, very rarely end up in testosterone fueled p*ssing contests with other drivers, for obvious reasons.
My wife can multitask i.e. she can talk on the phone, read closed caption and hear conversations in the room all at the same time. Amazing!
Having had any hint of "female traits" beaten out of me when young and tried so hard to never reveal any in public over the subsequent 50 years, it would be impossible for me to pass, as the subject line asks.
I frankly don't care what the public thinks. It's what's in my head, not theirs that counts. If wearing the correct underwear under my "prison clothes" in public helps me feel human and at peace, that's all that matters.

Yes my mom would do that pretty much all of the time and recently I started to notice that I.........
