Do I have a chance of crossing off as a male?

[Matthew J. F]

Be honest 

I know I need to have a haircut, I'm getting that very soon! I'm waiting for the back hair to grow in to have my full completed haircut....

which will look like:


What do you guys think? The 2 photos was taken earlier tonight.

What do I need to change to look more male?

I'm trying to lose some weight and to add more muscle to my body.

I like that little widow's peak...I guess you could contour the hairline a little, as someone suggested in another thread--i.e., pluck your hair to create a more masculine hairline. I've never tried it, but if you do it right, it should help.

I can't give you advice on the other pics because they're kind of small. But burning off fat and building up muscle is a good start.

You have a good hairline, it's like mine. I suggested plucking in another thread and while I've not done it, it strikes me as by far the most natural looking way to have a male hairline. Heck a good electrologist could make it permenant.

You have a little body fat, and wide-ish hips, and I agree work on dropping some fat and building some muscle.

Sure you have a realistic chance, no problem.

Like the guys said.  really, you'll do fine as a guy.

Do you by chance live near the ocean?  My first impression was a surfer dude.  You could be a goofy-foot hot-dogger Dude.

Hey guys and the wonderful ladies that replied.

I'm cursed of having wide hips and extra large boobs! The sport bra that Im wearing helps but it doesn't help enough to make them smaller.

I'm not going to pluck or do anything with my hairline or to my hair at all until I go to the hairstylist. I wouldn't even know where to start and I don't want to turn myself into a clown. I prefer to leave it up to the professionals.

I rode my back couple of hours prior to posting this thread and I stumble a cross a hairstylist and a particular picture that was on the window looked very appealing to me... The hair looks great! Am thinking of changing the spikes thats listed above to this style...



Janet I live South Florida so yeah I live near the beach, no I don't surf.... I am not going to enter the sharks territory! Am not going to get my limps bitten off because of it. I prefer the pools instead. Between you and me... what motivated me for respecting the oceans creatures territory was when I was at the beach in the water some time ago... A crab clamped down on my toe! that sucker wouldn't let go and drew blood on me! I had to get out of the water asap.... Since sharks can smell blood miles away. When we were heading on home... I didn't hear the last of my father... he was laughing the whole way home!!

imo the hair line is fine it looks like a young male as a male 42 years i wouldnt notice that what i noticed right off the bat is your hour glass shape most prominate are the hips which you are already aware off your upper body has a nice v shape which is masculine by itself if it werent for those hips id kill to have lol so my sugestion is upper body back exercises such as pull downs and shoulder work to draw attention away from lower body and in the mean time baggier clothes around the middle to negate the hour glass shape and you should pass w/o to much trouble best advice i can give for you hugs

don't wear such a tight top, wear a wide shirt to hide the curves and a binder and I think your face is fun.

people don't seem to notice the curves as much as people think if you just wear a bigger shirt.

edit:
Maybe post a closer picture of the face? who knows what mysteries a close up would reveal to those otherwise masculine looking (from afar) face.

The picture is really quite low quality and by it I don't seem to see why the hips are that bad, if you can just cover it with a straight shirt from top to bottom it will give you a wide straight rectangle frame.

The second hair looks amazing for a guy!

Correct me if I am wrong but you are more of a pear than hourglass shape are you?

It seems most guys I met are quite very defined pears.. many of them seems to slim the hips a lot and turn into rectangle or triangle.. the other way around.

The problem with wearing a big shirt to hide curves is that the loose shirt material then tends to hang off most bound FTM chests awkwardly, making the "bump" there a lot more obvious. Too tight will have the same effect. A properly fitting shirt is best.

A good binder on a bigger guy tends to make a fabric 'bridge' between the moobs and the gut, creating a flatter effect.  After top surgery, I suddenly grew a huge beer gut!!

Can't be a goofy-foot unless your left foot is your dominent foot, hence compelling you to place it at the tail (back end) of the surfboard with your right foot in front.

But yeah Dude you'll be ok.

thanks, i wanted to say something but you beat me.

i dont think you really have a chance at passing (from he front or side) without a good binder or top surgery.  boobs are just too big of an indicator.  you could be masculine as heck and you turn around and someone is like "hey ma(n)... maam" the second they notice your chest.

people arent really looking to see if your hips are wider than your shoulders.  theyre checking for things like voice, boobs, hair, and clothes.  (not necessarily in that order)
