At 60 its getting more and more difficult to look the way I like to look I'm very fortunate to be 5'9" medium frame with small hands that in now way could ever palm more than a soccerball at most. With artificial nails they look quite feminine. My weight could stand to be about 25 lbs less but it hides very well in a tightlaced corset and I still need to pad the hips. I have totally passed and really had people shocked when I tell them I am male and on the very same day seen GG's whispering to their husbands about me (suspecting they read me). I do enjoy dressing a little more provocative than most GG's of my age so that could contribute to me not passing as well as I might.

I think I have the mannerisms down pretty well as in walking with shorter steps holding my shoulders back and my head up plus keeping my arms closer to my body. so many men walk like weight lifters. Key here is wherever you are to act like you own the place. Shyness gives you away faster than anything. I'm also fortunate that my beard has always been very light in color so I don't have a shadow. Arm hair is also light in color but heavier than most GG's so I try to keep it trimmed but not shaved, thus making winter dressing a lot easier to pass than summer.

Most of us here only know each other from avatars and photos so its mostly our faces and hair that can be critiqued. Makeup application and color is so important. It has to be the correct color for your skin tone and eye color Eye brows are critical as well. I'm so glad to see those very thin eyebrows starting to become less popular on most GG's. A nice smile and white teeth also help the illusion. I get compliments all the time on my "beautiful smile" when I am on cam and as I have mentioned before I've received out of the blue compliments on my hair (wigs) from total strangers while out. Voice is somewhat important. while mine is by no means very feminine it is also not real deep and masculine unless I try to make it that way. I have several conversations with others while out en femme and no one acts surprized just by hearing my voice.

This leaves the one thing I personally think has helped me the most. I've said here before if I can at a minium make others think that perhaps I just used to be a man but not anymore I feel great. What does that the most is my ability to create believable cleavage. I feel very blessed that I can make my chest look as though I have natural breast or had implants. They really do draw attention away from the rest of me without looking unreal or out of place for my size. I try to show my cleavage tastefully leaving it to the imigination of those noticing it if its real or not.

If I could do anything at all to look more passable it would be perhaps botox on some wrinkels and laughlines and to lose some weight so I could look all the time like I do when corseted. I am afraid if I lost 25 lbs my cleavage would suffer but I could compensate somehow for that.

Also agree with several others here that what enviroment you in makes a huge differance in passablity. Darker clubs being best daytime in the park where others are overly protective of watching out for weirdos the hardest
