Watching other ladies

[CJ]

Don't put yourself down too quickly, Stephanie... that shot of you sitting at the piano is a total First Prize winner, I swear! Very natural, very open, very pretty.

Love,

I remember reading somewhere that there are something like 18 clues we instantly scan (without thinking about it) when assessing gender. Most of them had to do with mannerisms.

Tekla, I read something like this a few years back. It was a list of the things or traits people use to indicate they are a female on initial look of a person. The one I seen was physical looks and included clothes,voice and mannerisms and was just the female list if I remember in order from most obvious/important and down. Breasts, feminine clothes, hair, feminine looks were some of the top things on the list.

And I have tried to re-find it and I have not been able to. I would love to find it again, as after seeing it , that is what guided my start of a blending look. The concept was, when we first see some one our mind does a quick count of male and female traits to give us the gender/physical sex of the person so we know how to interact with them.

I gave it a quick search not too long ago and didn't find it, but I should try harder. True some of the things were pretty obvious, but others were a lot more subtle.

I will see what I can come up with.

Do a Google Search under "gender cues" and you'll find some things. This is a good discussion of the subject: http://www.masstpc.org/mediawiki/index. ... ssing_tips

I too, try to be conscious while en femme in public. I do watch other ladies in their poise and grace. Walking in small steps and toes pointed foeward is a suggestion from my SO.

As in many things, the devil is in the details.

It's best to be conscious when in public, en femme or not! (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I do indeed watch other ladies while out en femme. I like to be respectful to the mannerism of ladies and do immitate the proper manners and dress while out.
