I'm going to agree, hair in the face is so annoying, espescially when trying to eat. Unfortunately, I think I look a bit silly in a bandana or ponytail (or pigtails, for that matter)

I once considered a scalp lock like the Cossack's, as in Yul Brynner (e.g. see the movie, Taras Bulba (1962)). :biggrin:

Well, I never claimed to be 'normal'. :biggrin:

Maybe someday.

Who is that, Sebastian Bach? If I didn't already know he was male, there'd be no way to tell with him having his arms folded across his chest. :rolleyes:

Oh, yes, you just don't pay enough attention to the male physique.
Look at the wrists, for example: Manly, angular wrists, can't be mistaken (that's how you tell a guy in drag apart from a gal..).
Same with the chin, and lots of other tell-tale signs.

Typically, the male body tends towards the jagged, angular and rectilinear, wherea the female tends toward the curvaceous.

I got one wrong on the first.

Blaargh, on the 3rd I had 4 wrong; mistook only one guy for a lady, though..


As I said before, the surest mark to identify a male in drag from a female is to look at the wrists.
Significantly, no wrists were shown in any of the pictures.

Thats still a hell of a lot better than me...

If those pics were showing more than head and neck, they would probably get me banned, so no wrists I'm afraid.

I scored 12/16, 10/16, 12/16. Guess my man-in-drag-spotting skills are a bit rusty. Looking at the whole face and focusing on the eyes seemed to work best.

If I have time later, I may crop some wrists from pictures and make up a little test for you, arildno. Would you be up to it?

As a reward for me making a fool of myself, could you make a nice "shower or grower" test as well? :blushing:

Woot! Don't worry, it'll be fun.
What do you mean by 'shower or grower'? :rolleyes: You don't have to be too explicit... just nudge me in the right direction.

My best advice is that you start developing an interest in how men look, and look after those attractive features lurking beneath the make-up..:wink:

If this doesn't suit you, you might as well give up.
