No, I do not wiggle. I learned that men walk on 2 rails and women walk on 1, so I walk on 1.

When wearing high heels, it is easier to walk by wiggling while the knees touch each other.
On flat shoes, I naturally do not wiggle, and probably most women neither.

A lost dog chased me while my colleague took photos behind me in Big Island of Hawaii.

It used to be a curse that I just apparently walk and stand like a female naturally (And I can walk fine in heels) because ya know.... Guys aren't suppose to walk like females so I'd get a lot of people bugging me boot it in a sorta jokey way. But right now I guess it's a blessing yea, I'm lucky! Yay!

And to help visualize this, reposting this male vs female walk simulator from a different thread (I forgot where.)

That's a really useful tool, thanks for reposting!

No. But I do concern myself with posture. It's important to get the hang of. Hips forward, walk with your lower half (very little, if any, upper body movement).

This is awesome, thanks for that.

Turns out my walk is somewhere in between the extremes, it helps I always had slightly wider hips than most guys.

Some guys walk like there's a third rail...

That's cool. I'm going to start walking on one rail as you say. And wiggle it some. Why not.

   Hello Grace ,you just gave me this really----funny --visual !  Weird mind ?

I swoosh.  I don't wiggle.

I don't really wiggle per say, but I do have a bit of a hip sway and certain body parts tend to giggle a bit

I don't know about you but I certainly have a pretty weird mind!

I sort of do.  It's not anything I do on purpose, I just sort of move my hips a bit.   I don't even notice it and don't know if others see anything either.  And I'm still in boy mode, so I'm sure people are very confused about me in many ways.  Nothing new, I'm used to standing out in some way, unfortunately.

I'm the same way.  I've caught myself mimicking walking styles from female friends of mine while I'm still in boy mode.  o.o  I do it a LOT more often than I previously thought.  Moving as my hips as my core, instead of the shoulders, I think contributed to this.

Going into walmart for cake mix I found myself wiggling some, walking with both feet on the same line almost forces your body to twist. I felt fair, but not very sexy yet.  Need high heels.

Walking around HomeDepot today, this thread made me very self conscious of the way I was walking and felt very awkward. 

Thanks a lot. 

I have walked around the mall alot. and noticed gals walk with there toes turned in slightly and put there toes down first .unlike guys who smack heal down and turn toes out . I try to walk with toes in and it seems to make you rotate your bum to to keep your balance .ANY one else try this .If you watch guys walk they seem to put there head forward and look down .gals seem to be head up /looking around and making eye contact as to say hi ..Guys in mall have mission to get in and get out fast , gals treat it like social trip in general.But thats some ideas because if you watch people in mall setting you find out theres no right way or wrong way its like finger print .    Everybody's different AKA Sara

It's fun being a woman isn't it. I love it & notice some of the same things you notice. Have fun GF.

The transition, right down to the more "feminine" way I walk now and the heeled/raise shoes I wear, has actually been very thereuputic for me.  As it turns out, for a 6'/170 LBS person, I have a small skeletal frame...I only wear a size 9 shoe in men's and my hands are smaller than someone 6 inches shorter than me...and I also have extreme arches on my feet.  Bascially, I have the skeletal frame of a woman at the moment but the muscle density of a male and it is hard on my bones/knees, especially when I wear "flatter" male shoes.  I did the "guy walk" which was made worse by the military...my step was: heels, ball, toes to make that "I'm coming for you @$$!" pop in your step.  This was starting to break down my knees and spine, and I was actually having to use a cane to get around, but no one could figure out what it was. 

I changed my posture to more "fem", donned heels/ditched the flats, and keep to my toes/the balls of my feet when I walk with that slight "swoosh" to keep things in my muscles and not my bones so much.  Short, just a little more than choppy steps...which is easy even with my long legs.  Doing that for a month, and I only needed the cane once in a  while.  After I walked "like a girl" for a few months, I am off the canes completely.

I also learned that the female center of gravity is in the hips, male is in the chest. So I try to let me upper body follow and, like you said, lead with the hips.
