This must of been asked before....i desperatly want to venture outside . however being 6 feet tall makes me think ill get read all day long. Im fairly lean at 155 pounds so i feel that is more than likely less than a 6ft gg. Any tips for hiding hight or ways to be less noticable at my hight?
Thanks
I usually just wear flats.
Makes me feel shorter.
Also get some forms and maybe a corset.
You loose some of your feelings when you look the part.
Also, get a few gg's to go out with you, that helps the most.
Good luck
Well, for really tall actresses, they either build ramps for everyone else to walk on, or dig a pit for them to walk in to make them look shorter. You're going to have to find sidewalks with long pits beside them (drainage ditches, maybe?). I don't know of any other way to hide height. Maybe hang out with basketball teams? Less noticable; go out for walks during rainstorms? People are usually way too busy trying to stay dry to stare carefully under an umbrella. Blizzards hide us well, too. Remember too, very, very few of us pass. Compare yourself to Andrej Pejic, the famous model who became Andrea two years ago; if you're that thin, you might have a chance with the right makeup, hair, and outfit. My sister is six feet tall, and was never seen as a guy, and she weighed around 150 much of her life. Walk like a girl, http://www.biomotionlab.ca/Demos/BMLwalker.html , talk like a girl, do the best you can. Take a video of yourself walking down a corridor en femme in an outfit, not mentioning who you are, as an outfit of the day, and see what kind of comments you getwhen you post it on youtube. Best of luck.
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
Move to Texas there are plenty of 6ft tall GGs here to blend in with.
Hi Stephanie, A great natural looking feminine figure is a must
Hip pads and the right size forms are a great start.
Spend time watching the natural GG's to see what they are wearing
to be able to pick your type of outfit.
Having my ears triple pierced is AWESOME, ~~...
I can explain it to you, But I can't comprehend it for you !
If at first you don't succeed, Then Skydiving isn't for you.
Be careful what you wish for, Once you ring a bell , you just can't Un-Ring it !! !!
Lots of tall gg's out there these days. Just go to the mall, or any other public place. You'll see quite a few. The tall thing (6'3") here doesn't even bother me any more. I just wish my feet and hands were smaller. I think that tends to be more of a negative for me. Tall girls rule!

Embrace it, and rock it girl. Tall girls rule. Yes, you can wear heels, people will look at you and say 'She's tall, no wait, it's the heels.'
Six feet is not out of the ordinary.
All the padding in the right places do absolutely no good if your face looks like a man wearing make-up. You have to have a feminine face. If you do not look like a woman there, your going to get read.
Stephanie, I am also so aware of my size and being noticed. I am 6' 1" but in my small heels I stand 6' 4" and having had a very long time spent playing rugby I am over 200lb and not exactly of slight build!.
This has stopped me from so many adventures outdoors but I still have me time to savour.

Not knowing any background information on you, it's difficult to give advice. Six feet is pretty tall for a woman but you might be able to pull it off.
To start with, wear flats. You don't need any more height. It's true that there are a few six foot tall women walking around but most don't have a male body. That's an important distinction.
Others have mentioned breast forms and good hip padding. Of course you'll need a wig, jewelry and makeup skills.
You haven't been a member very long but I suggest reading a lot of posts, especially ones about makeup, beard cover and how to walk and act like a female. Also, take lots of photos and even videos and study them to try to identify what sets your presentation apart from that of a woman. Correct what you can and try again.
Plenty of 6 foot tall women out there so I wouldn't worry.
I'm 6' tall, but I don't let that stop me from doing this!
You should check out Long Tall Sally, there are LOTS of 6' (and even taller) women who are absolutely gorgeous who shop there. I'm 5'13" myself and I just avoid heels for the most part. At 155 lbs though, I'd kinda think you've got this covered 😉
Six feet seems almost short to me. I am six feet six! And around seven feet in 4 inch heels and higher hair! One reason i do not go out often. I also cannot find any flats or low heels that fit. Jillian, i need to move to Texas. Where i live, tall women aound age 60 are extremely rare sightings, and seldom single.
women come in all sizes and shapes just like men. there are alot of tall women out there
I love being a girl
I am in the same predicament being 6'3" and 225lbs, with the help from of the girls here i found my place .i dressed conservatively jeans a sweater makeup earrings . Nothing too extravagant actually I thought I looked pretty for someone of my age. Anyway I ventured off and visited A casino where the only person who really looks at you is the guy or lady on the door when you walk in no one else give you a second look. I wore my breast forms and felt so sexy. I spent half a day just walking and playing slot machines from time to time no one gave me a second look . It was a most enjoyable day. actually I plan on another soon a little bit more dressy I'm thinking a skirt pantyhose but definitely flats for shoes .
I am 6-2 and I go out to enjoy myself and for the feeling I get. Like others have said, we can't pass 100 per cent. One thought I keep in mind is....as long as they leave me along, who cares what they think.
One observation I have made. People will never agree with how you dress, even if you dress 100 per cent male. For example.... I wore and Indiana Jones type hat, which is very male for a few weeks. Yep, you guessed it. I got all kind of negative comments from guys and the women would comment, but not as rude from them.
What is the old saying ? You can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.
My recommendation is to go out driving in your car first. Next go out in the car and maybe use an ATM or pump gas, with a card. Work your way up the comfort ladder and do it for yourself and not to please others.
I think I weighed 155 pounds when I was in high school. I was six foot one. Now I'm six foot even and have gained 40 pounds. As some of the girls have suggested build up a female figure with enhancements as the bosom and hips. In a previous post I think you suggested your wife helps you. If that is correct, then having your face made up nicely will help your inner male self feel less visible to others. And, stay with a low heel. A low heel obviously will not add much to your height, but, it also will make you walk more naturally, which is better than someone six foot stumbling around in five inch spiked heels.
Last night I was out for a stroll fully dressed and with makeup. Go for a walk with your wife or s/o. Go to places that openly welcome cross dressers. There is nothing in the cross dressing handbook that says you have to strut the malls at noon on Saturdays. Find and explore your comfort zone.
PS: I have to add that my brother and his former wife belonged to a social club in the Washington, DC area back in the late 1960's and early 1970's where the minimum height requirement to join was six foot for both men and women.

I'm your height and more the size of the average woman that height.
Just dress for the venue and time of day and be proud of yourself.
Yes, people will look, they will stare, but think about it. Wouldn't you look or stare at a woman that was 6' tall?? I know I would and always have. I love tall women and love being one of them.
You just need to be self-confident and ignore those who stare. Focus on where you are going, what you are doing and ignore them.
Now when I go out with my wife she might say, "did you see that woman looking at you?" and my answer is always no. I don't notice them any more than I would if I were in drab.
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
I was six foot tall, now 5'11 and stand tall. I wear the tallest heels when out and about. There are a lot of women taller than me. So, if your are a tall girl, own it. Fell comfortable out and dress well as a GG. Dress for the occasion as they do. If you are out shopping, women jeans, nice top and hair done right, girl watch, makeup. You will pass okay. for night and dinners, skirt, nice top and heels look okay and i sometimes wear boots with a skirt. I am 155 lbs and really just be yourself and don't be afraid. Now I don't know if I am read often. I do know they have to look closely. But here in a conservative area, people seem to keep to themselves. So far its been good. But I try to stay in nice ares, like theaters and restaurants. especially at night. I have traveled in fem and stopped at truck stops and had no problem using the women restrooms and never had any strange looks.

There are plenty of women who are 6' tall. Height alone won't automatically out you until you get above 6' 5" or so. There are cisgender women 6' 7"+ tall, but its rare.
Gendering decisions are largely unconscious, and are based on multiple factors. One of the difficulties for us is that the decision "male" is the default, when in doubt, decision.
The biggest single tells, by far, are beard shadow, and Adam's apple. Your face is a big cue, although makeup can help that a lot. Hairstyle is another big cue. Presentation (clothing, makeup), mannerisms, voice are also big. Within a certain range, body size / shape aren't the biggest tells. There are some big, relatively burly cisgender women out there.
Flats are the way to go if you want to deemphasize your height.
Again, no one factor makes people gender you one way or the other. It's a weighted sum of many factors.
Flat shoes/sandals/boots are a must if you want to keep the height as it is. However, I was in Superdrug today with three inch heel ankle boots and two GGs in the queue were the same height as me. I'm 5' 10" in my stocking feet and they were both in flats. Both looked feminine, if a touch unkempt.
I got made on every walk way, crossing and shop today, but I just smiled at people and life carried on.

I agree with everyone flats are definitely the answer and there are so many cute flats to choose.
I'm 6'3" and have gone out in flats and in boots with 2 1/2" heels. You just have to own it. Honestly, people may have 'read' me, but everyone was polite.
Yes don't stand next to me, I'm a towering height of 5'-6" in bare feet and I can't wear heels above 3" so 5'-9" if I'm lucky, and please don't rest your arm on my head.
"you are a strange species and there are many out there;shall I tell you what I find beautiful about you ,you are at your best when things are at their worst" ...[ Starman]
It may of course be a bit disturbing to sense that one is really not so firmly anchored to the gender one was born into.
