Girls who like girls that dress like boys


Question Posted Wednesday January 9 2008, 6:16 pm

I'm a lesbian, and as a big prank for my first college bout I cut my hair to look like a boy and I plan on going to campus monday as a male. I searched the web to find some good sites on advice to look more like a man but came up with nothing but stuff for men to look like women.
Can you guys offer any tips? Like what to do about these things on my chest? Or how to walk, sound, and dress like a man?

Binding.

There's a few methods for it.

Wear baggy and loose clothing. You have to learn to camouflage your butt and waistline.

Remember to walk with straight hips, so lose that swing to your hips when you walk.

Try experimenting with different deep voices. It takes some practice. Just watch yourself in the mirror.

If you never seen the movie "She's The Man", I highly suggest you watch it. They wrapped an ace bandage or whatever around her chest. And just get a button up collered shirt from like American Eagle or something. Almost all guys wear those. And just watch how other guys watch, and clench your teeth, it makes a more masculine jaw. But they really have a lot of good tips on that movie, lol.

Well, maybe if you once and a while compliment girls, it could totally help your cover. A movie that could help you is She's The Man. It's about a girl who pretends to be a boy for soccer.
Try to remember to keep your legs open and always act like a slob. I'd suggest wearing loose tee shirts to hide your chest. If someone asks about your chest say you have been working on your abs:]
Good Luck "Dude" :]

Wikihow says:
Work on the physical aspects that label you a girl (i.e. breasts, long hair, etc.).
Hair: Although it's a well-known fact that some guys have very long hair, it has a different texture ("contour") then that of women. This is solved very simply by cutting off long hair. At shorter lengths, is difficult to notice any difference in contour. If you're unable or unwilling to cut your hair, then wear a wool hat or baseball cap to conceal those unsightly locks.
Bosom: Seeing as how you can't just cut off your breasts (unless you wish to have permanent surgery by spending interestingly high amounts of money), you will have to bind them. Something like a tightly wrapped towel, a modified corset, or an Ace bandage will work fine; just make sure any binding you use is secure.

Find clothes that guys would normally wear. You can even go to Goodwill to find these. Use some baggier clothing to conceal those womanly curves; avoid any clothing that fits tightly around the hips, chest, and legs.
Be careful about your vocal pitch. While there are guys who have higher ranges, you're not going to want your voice to rise too high; keep your tone monitored without overdoing it and sounding ridiculous.

Don't try and use makeup for any reason. Chances are it's going to accentuate curves again, and guys don't have any (that would be accentuated by makeup, anyway).

Hide your armpits, legs and stomach unless you have hair in those areas. While hair may be grown there, chances are it's going to far softer and finer than a guy's hair would be anyway.
Make sure your fingernails are trimmed short.



Muscles can also help sell the illusion; soft lined arms and stomachs are acceptable, but not preferable.

When standing, try to shift your weight so that it is evenly distributed over your feet, and push your shoulders slightly back and down. Observe how other men stand and copy their stance, tweaking it slightly so that it fits your physique.

Use hair products and colognes designed for men. You don't want to smell too obviously like a girl if you can help it.

Women normally walk with a sway in their hips. Because of this, someone watching can instinctively (though usually not consciously) label you the girl you are if they see you walking from behind. Try and copy the straight walk of guys. Walking directly behind and in the footsteps of one may help you practice. This may be uncomfortable at first, but eases with experience.

When sitting down, never cross your legs! Or if you do, place the ankle of one leg on the opposite knee.

Have a nice day.
