Could you pass as the opposite gender?

Some people could and some just don't have the looks or build. I couldn't for sure. Do you think if you gave your all out effort, by dress, makeup, etc you could possibly enter a room of people and people would believe you were the opposite gender - and if so - in an attractive way? Just a fun question maybe.
 
When I was a ten-year-old I could pass as the opposite gender, and I was occasionally mistaken for one since I grew my hair out long.

There is no conceivable way that someone would mistake me for the opposite gender now.
 
Maybe if I lost some weight or, rather, some of the curve. I'm way too hourglass to pass for a man in my current state. I also don't think I could produce a believable male voice (I have a high, 12-year-oldish voice) so if it went beyond looks I'd fail miserably.
 
Doubtful, even if I went for it, and cut my hair, and used a binder I don't think I could.

Just tell people you are related to Justin Bieber.

Yes, but they'd think I'm a woman who shops at Wal-mart.

No - sure can't.

When I was younger I had a pixie haircut and was mistaken for a boy - but after having kids, losing a lot of weight and developing boobs - nope.
 
What's sad is that I think I probably could.... Vocally I know that I can pass as the opposite gender. If I grew my hair out and had fake breasts I probably could aesthetically as well.
 
I couldn't pass for a woman without getting, literally, my entire body waxed. I'm quite hirsute.

Fact Is, I love that song, it is simply one of the most brilliant songs ever, it's meaning is so much deeper than what one thinks. It is a great lesson in capitalist economice and and inverse relation to supply and demand.

We play it when we have a successful business venture. :pimpdaddy:
 
Probably. I'm hourglass-shaped, but thin. Basically the tough part would be concealing my hip flair, which isn't huge, but it's far more difficult than hiding my boobs. Hips can only be pressed in so much, no matter how thin you are. Boobs, especially as small as mine, can be compressed much more effectively. All it would take to make me look flat is a tight sports bra. But I'd probably have to go with something with strong shoulders and stiff fabric to conceal my hips.

But I reckon I could pull it off. My features somewhat feminine, but not exceptionally dainty. I wouldn't look terribly manly, but I could probably at least cause someone to do a double-take, and possibly guess wrong.

The tough part, as others have mentioned, is hiding the voice. My voice is actually somewhat low - I'm a contralto. But it's not "manly" by any stretch. Not sure what I'd do with that. Maybe fake that I was deaf and just bust out into sign language? :lol:

Not possible. I'm not very hairy naturally, even before I shave, but my voice is on the low side of baritone and my shoulders are much wider than my hips.
 
I can only pass for the opposite sex online, as I tend to come across in an assertive and masculine way- it's not that I try to, it's just the way I express myself based on how I think.

In person, there's no way I could ever be mistaken for a man.

I'd make one ugly chick. I'm built like a square stone block.... couldn't even pass for a female Russian powerlifter, I'm pretty sure.

Probably for the best if you're not willing to take our bromance to the next level.
 
That grayish little van dyke of mine might limit me to roles as an aging carnival woman.
