Advantage and disadvantage

[CarlaWestin]

This is just a food for thought thread and not meant to be any kind of ranking.I was thinking that when I decide to present as a female, I have an advantage as I can emulate practically any body type I desire. From stick like to rubenesque. Just with the use of padding. But, the obvious disadvantage is that my broad shoulders are a definite give away.

So, what's your advantage and disadvantage?

[SometimesKairi]

Disadvantage - weird men hit on me.
Advantage - with a shaved bum, I can wipe properly after going
:P

[Allisa]

Advantages : 5'-7" tall, my own long hair.
Disadvantages: short and stocky, man hands, bowed legs, big nose all my "man" features too many to list.

But I love a challenge so being my femme self in expression is just plain fun and fulfilling.

[DIANEF]

Good - slim, not hairy, smallish feet, not tall (5'8')
Bad - man hands, eyebags, big chin

[Angie G]

Disadvantage I need to change to guy mode to walk the dog. Advantage I get to be me. :hugs:

[Rachael Leigh]

My advantage are my long slim legs, they look good in shorts or skirts.
Disadvantage is my shoulders and my face especially if my makeup looks poorly done

[Stacy Darling]

I think I'm starting to be uncomfortably comfortable with both the Advantageous and the Dis-.

The nails on my man hands look very femme now that the white tips have fully cured and my legs will look great by Friday evening.

But to be honest I'm still a 6' Nordic looking male with masculine neck, shoulder and facial features!

I'll just let my femininity mould my masculinity for now and see what happens!

Stacy, with Advantage!

[Dana44]

Advantage, Tall, skinny girl features, Yet my face sometimes is manly with hair on it. Long hair and where hair down a lot. Long finger nails and B sized moobs. But run as a male for a lot of the time. I wounder what they really think. I am quite non-binary.

[docrobbysherry]

I can and do copy every female who's look appeals to me.:D

Except those darn giraffe, model types with stretched necks and long, skinny arms and legs!:Angry3:

[Debra Russell]

Advantages; light colored hair so no beard shadow no pblm, don't have to shave legs (they went bald-don't know why). Smaller frame body, smaller feet (male size 8 US) not too tall 5'8" and features aren't over sized.

Disadvantages; getting older (71), turkey neck, larger hands, ................................Debra

My advantage is I gave up caring how other people "rate" my presentation. ;) Honestly, I'm me and I look exactly what I should look like.

[Helen_Highwater]

The last time I met up with other CD'ers one of them complemented me on how my wig, style and colour - brunette, suited me. I replied that while out shopping earlier in the afternoon I'd been a blonde. So yes Carla is right. We can and do alter our appearance to suit our moods.

As for my greatest advantage; it's that my beard grows slowly. No 5 o'clock shadow for me to worry about especially as my hair is greying. Being able to close shave in the morning and no significant growth even late evening. Being able to be out for 12-15 hours and spend all day "presentable" is just a real boon.

Advantages: 5'7", small feet (Women's 9, 91/2), Blue eyes,

Carla,
To me my advantage is being the physical size and shape I am,only needing small forms to give me a balanced figure , size 12 ( UK ) mostly fits me off the peg .I guess I have the usual disadvantages of larger hands and feet, I really don't worry too much about the voice and I'm happy to to have the choice of hair styles by using different wigs.

Away from physical problems I'm fairly happy with my appearance but being accepted by my wife is the biggy !

Height :- 5' 7", weight :- 147 lbs , Bust:- 37", waist:- 31" , hips:- 37", age :- 66 ( the only item I wish I could change ! )

[Tamsin Secret]

+ Butt then legs. And without doing myself the disjustice, if i was able too, i think my personality would shine in the right company.
- I will probably​ never get to find out if others think my +'s are worthy:cry:

[Lana Mae]

+ Not afraid to experiment, maybe my personality?, once had a 28" waist
- My body, getting old, not having a 28" waist
Hugs Lana Mae

[LaurenDeHart]

Advantage: height (5'9")
Advantage: not much body hair
Advantage: foot size (women's 9.5 US)
Advantage: dress size 16 (might be able to get down to a 14)
Advantage: slender fingers
Advantage: slender legs
Con: hooded eyes. Hard to conceal but not impossible.
Con: shoulders wider than hips. Not overly wide but enough that I have to remember to keep my arms from looking like I'm ready for takeoff.
Con: nose. While not large it is somewhat prominent for my face. Makeup is a girls friend!!
Con: butt. I never had one as a guy so padding is a must for me.

I'm 61 YO but I consider that neither an advantage nor disadvantage. I prefer to dress stylishly but age appropriate. However, I can still appreciate the modern look on the stylish younger ladies we have here.

[Confucius]

Advantages:
I have thin fingers and a womanly hands.
I have the skinny broomstick arms of an adolescent schoolgirl.
I don't have much body hair, and almost nothing on my legs.

Disadvantages:
I have a large upper body, and my waist is altogether too big.
My feet are huge even on the man-scale (size 13).
My shoulders are broard and muscular.
My head is almost bald.
I am too old to be attractive.
My face just look way too masculine.
I cannot pass as a woman - even an ugly one.

[Sandin Meknickers]

Why am I reminded of a black adder scene all of a sudden.

[Amelie]

Advantage-Round pie shaped face, smooth skin. Also height, 5'5"

Disadvantage-My voice, especially my accent which is a mix of Bronx and Louisiana. Think Harry Connick Jr combo with Leah Remini of King of Queens.

[Victoria Demeanor]

+ My long hair, slight stature, short height, and round butt that all seems to get me a lot of "Ma m's" from behind.

- My weather beaten manly face and deep voice that gets me the "Errr excuse me Sir....sorry" when I turn around.

On another plus side I do have a lot of fun with that.

[TrishaLake]

Advantage - with a shaved bum, I can wipe properly after going
:P[/QUOTE]


Thats funny about the bum but true!

For me my legs are fantastic but my guy belly not so good
