Title: UPDATE on Do I pass?
Post by: ConfusedMichelle on January 22, 2008, 06:54:05 PM
My boyfriend sent my "scared face" aka my display picture to his sister back home, who showed the whole family.

They said "Awww...he looks little!! He's like a little Gap Kids model!"

He sent it via cell phone so I guess making the picture smaller makes me more masculine, because I totally passed.

:)

Oh that's cool. And people will see what they expect to see. So, if they're expecting a male, they'll see a male.
Cool. Hope all works out.

though The Gap has been accused of doing 'kiddie porn' in their ads.  Sorry, you look way too young.  Dress older.  What you wear might be real hip (and that is up for debate) for a person of 18, when you wear it you look 12, so dress like your 25, and you might look 18.  Sorry, but I am not lying.

I quite agree with Tekla, and you could also ditch the oversized hat for another that's a better fit. Otherwise, you are a good looking kid. I can see potential in your Avatar pic. But a larger photo would be needed to work with to be able to give you more helpful suggestions.

Or you might look like a 12-year-old trying to look 25. Unless you're concerned that your boyfriend might be mistaken for a pedophile (which is legit), "young" might be the way to go. Before T, I passed well UNLESS people knew my age.

i have a female/randomly andrognye when the mood takes her, friend that looks like you Brady... (she looks like a young boy a lot so its not a passing dig)
there is no point dressing older than you look, relish looking young!
tbh youve got a lot more of the prepubecent boy look, and thats not gonna change till you get some T down ya neck :P if your vaugely short, have no or not much facial hair, youll be treated younger.... so just roll with em boyo :)

In the beginning this was about meeting the 'rents, and for that I would want to look vaguely the same age as the BF.
