Do you mind if I post my pics here? I want to ask the same question as you, or would you prefer me to start a new thread? I just don't want to be rude.

Fine by me, also. I'm mildly surprised that a few haven't already.
It's a legit question if anyone was to ask me.
If you look, you'll find mtf and ftm threads for posting pics. I haven't looked for awhile now, but I'm sure they are still up and running. Just remember that any personal stuff about your identity that you post is your own responsibility. There was a problem of pics posted that were taken and used in a slam on TG's blog a while back.

Alright, thanks! ^^

Mm, so I'm gonna post some pics that show that I don't have good hair yet. D: I wanna know if I can pull it off, it's more about the facial structure and everything, not about the hair.
Fff There's some others, not sure if I should put them up.

I have a very feminine profile.

Nah, you can look androgyne, easy-short, shaggy haircut.

Yay, thanks. ^^

Hm, I'm certain that my hair would curl, or at least become very wavy if I cut it short. Do you still think that would look okay or no?

Hmm...not certain...

Think so...but you might be stuck using lots of pomade.

I think you could do a short back and sides. If you cut it short enough it won't curl. Not like a buzz cut though.

You'd make a pretty boy, but a definite boy, nonetheless.

For the OP:  Unfortunately your cheeks do really scream female.   I think you could probably get away with looking like an 11 year old boy, but that's probably not really the look you're going for either.  You might want to look at it from the other side and think 'if I was actually a boy, what would I do to try to look feminine?' 

And to flying:  You can definately pull it off.  You have a nice jawline; I'd go short with the hair but mine's short so I tend to lean that way   Good luck!

Flying you do have a nice jawline, and good brows. Your face can totally go either way I think. The hair does read fem...duh. If your hair curls or goes all wavy there's always those hair flatterner thingies... like a curler but...the oppisite.

A flat iron can be your best friend.  A razor cut, flat iron, and some styling wax; you'll be all set.

Flat iron! Yes! That's the word I was looking for

Wow, thanks, everyone! :]

I'm gonna figure out a style that would work, and then figure it out. People keep telling me not to cut my hair and how lovely it is. :/

Wig, perhaps? Then I wouldn't have to bother styling at all. And I know where to get nice ones that people have thought are my real hair before for a very good price. >D

I actually just bleached the ends of my hair, and they're a nice goldish color. If I were to get a wig, do you think it would be better in a dark-yellowish color (color produced by the bleach) or black? Keep in mind that the wig, no matter what color, would be long enough for styling.

I also feel lame for wanting to use a wig, but eh. :/ Ffff. As I said, I just bleached my hair, and I'm definitely enjoying it too much to chop it off right now.

You look very feminine in the first pic, but in the ones you showed later in the thread, I think you look somewhat androgynous.

Why do you want to look androgynous anyway? Just curious.

Alright, thanks.

Well, there are several reasons I guess, the first off being I don't feel totally comfortable as female, although I've learned to conform to most standards/mannerisms/etc. I don't know. I generally prefer men's clothes, and refused to wear skirts until I was at least ten or eleven, ha. Obviously, clothes don't make the man, but I strongly opposed to feeling feminine, and generally female.
I also feel like androgyny can still be beautiful while defying the limitations imposed by gender. In fact, it's almost an expression of enlightened beauty, overcoming the crude gender boundaries. And as a human, isn't it natural to want to be attractive and intelligent?

OP, with a different haircut you could totally look androgynous. Remember, a lot of guys with longer hair don't keep it groomed as much as girls do.

Thenwewereflying, you look awesome. Your profile is stunning, and your straight-on is def androgynous.

Agreed, you're a good-looking person...and your facial features are both strong and attractive.
So I think it comes down to haircut, clothing, body language, and attitude as to how you'll be perceived.

(BTW, Riley, liking the 70's cop-show thing you have going there...)

Wow! Thanks to everyone who's replied on this...You're all awesome, aha.

And Riley, I am definitely jealous of those glasses.

I can post here too? Yes? xD
I think I am an example anybody can look andro.

REgular pic- long hair:


Hiding hair:



I'm thinking about cutting my hair soon

You look totally andro, Shai!

Thanks! That means a ton. 

Yep, Andro
