    Well, don't do what I did. My SO gave me pointers on how to walk like a guy and I looked like John Wayne who'd been riding his horse for three days straight. It was way too exaggerated, so much that my SO and I both laughed out loud. lol

    It worked better when I kept my body the slightest bit more rigid and parted my legs a tiny bit more, like an inch.

    And just so as not to misconstrue myself, I'm not FtM but was wanting to experience the challenge of adopting mannerisms that are not natural to me.


    ... oh, and the link below is pretty good. It's an animated walk model by Biolabs that you can slide between the two genders to see the differences. The mistake most people make is to believe they must walk waaay at either end of the scale, which is what makes it laughable in real life. Most people walk someplace in the middle, or slightly to the right or left of the middle.

    Click on the "Lines" radio button at the bottom to see the walk more clearly, and there are also walks that reflect different moods:

    And I forgot, one of my sons brought a hard copy of this home a few years ago and honestly, I read it in disbelief. I thought it was a big joke but he confirmed that guys really act like this. They just don't do it in front of women. lol

    I am not sure if this has been posted, but it has definitely been apparent. Guys like to be helpful and right. If there is any kind of problem in the room, guys typically like to provide a solution to that problem. This is where a lit if the stereotypes about holding doors, or helping a lady to cross the street come from.

    This is (I have been told) why I come across as effeminate; I prefer to defer... Especially to guys... Oh well!

    It depends on what kind of man you want to present/live as. The subtleties for an "artiste" will be different for a "warrior-poet" or "pick-up artist" (note: the last one could lead to... interesting situations for you.)

    as far as opening doors for ladies, not only have you been helpful and polite, it also gives oppurtunity to obseve another side of her .

    If possible, socialize with different types of men in different settings. This should help you learn the subtleties.

    I like to people watch. When I have to wait around I watch men and how they walk and talk to others plus I like to watch women as they go by.

    Watching people is the best way I agree.

    Pervade, walk, talk loud. Oh ya since of direction no maps hah! See my post is in the Alpha mode color...Flat earth colors...
    Escapism isn't necessarily bad, but is definitely unhealthy in the long term. While helpful in the short term, things will degrade over time. At some point, the escapee will have to face the issue. Things simply blowing over isn't really going to happen in many situations.

    You clearly have a problem with alpha males. You're entitled to such an opinion...

    But filling young Adam's head with negative tropes about men is likely to have two conclusions:
    1. He will become a bed-wetting self-loather who will never make any positive impact on the world around him.
    2. He will become the kind of man you love to despise so much, as opposed to a cultured person who may find the strength to leave this world just a little better than the one he entered. That's a lose-lose proposition for Adam, for me,for the world, and yes, even you.

    First of all KaTanya lighten up. Mbeen12 comment was not any different than what others posted. There are just as many stereo types out there about women as there are about men. I will agree that we all need to try and leave this earth in a better place than in which we arrived.

    I withdraw the "bedwetting" part.

    @the_shark: As far as fighting goes, you don't have to fight to be a man, but knowing how to fight is definitely useful. I won't pretend to point out rules of thumb, because there are none. A challenge can come from anywhere, at anytime.

    The good news? Learning how to fight is like a bank. The more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it, and those benefits will carry over into other areas of your life.

    Male Mannerisms?
    Hey everyone. I got a question for ya. I've been told I can pass as a dude
    pretty well from you fine folks but someone brought up something interesting,
    mannerisms. This may seem like a no brainier or just stupid to all you lovely
    mtf people out there, but I'm just wondering if there are any specific dos and
    don't or just any other general advice on how to give off that male vibe so to
    speak without looking like I'm trying too hard. Anyone with anything to offer is
    more than welcome to answer this.
    Thanks,
    Adam

    in a better place than in which we arrived.
    Thank you misunderstood super moderator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The question posted /on the table is advice on a male vibe from @ shark whom we are profile friends on this site, KaTanya...No I don't have a problem, dam near close to being Alpha at any giving moment /time....but I'm the opposite of you, steel to silk. I feel the pain/empathy of anyone who is looking through the forest of life and only sees the trees, FTM MTF etc etc..

    A lot of people know that I was in Construction; That said, It sometimes like a Doctor at the party,
    Everyone has a house ailment that needs fixing, and "Ask The Doctor" is the conservation of the
    night. Now I did not want you to read "Time Life Books" all night, Because I found that 80% of men
    can not use a screw driver. So be aware of the fact, and when asked "You know I have this problem"
    You can truly say that is not my field of endeavor.
    Shark, I do wish you luck, and lets us know anytime we can help.

    My mom thought a butter knife was just as good as a screw driver. I miss her.

    Men don't think about their mannerisms - that's the trick - I would know.
