Gender Confusion (Do I look like a woman?!)

[Catstar68]

hey wait a minute....all the PAT references, pretty hair references and I'm the one that gets cuffed?

sheesh.

but I was being a shmartarse....

Well Deb, its the thought that counts, right?

Catstar - no idea who Pat is still, and probably don't want to, and I don't attribute the word 'pretty' to any specific gender.

My lips are nice though, aren't they?

 

[Catstar68]

yes they are....

Anytime I cut my hair shorter than whatever appeals to everyone as "average" for a woman - - - everyone mistakes me for a guy. Usually only from the back, they seem to figure it out when I turn around (but not always). I don't get real upset about it, maybe because it's always happened.

IF I chose to dress more "feminine" then practically every guy starts drooling or otherwise acting inappropriately towards me (and no I'm not conceited, it's actually annoying!) so....I think I'd really rather be mistaken for a guy and just ignored!

And lots of kids call me the "pizza man" because I deliver pizza. I can forgive the little kids though!
I will admit that out of like 20 drivers there's only about 3 women who drive with me. There's plenty of men who work in the store cooking, as well as women, so I dunno why the drivers are predominately male. Seems like a sterotype that pizza deliver drivers are always guys.

Okay... I'll 'fess up. If I hadn't gotten a good look at you and I was kind of far away, I might have made the same mistake. It's the curls. Let's face it- most guys don't have hair that beautiful. And please don't be offended, but you have a somewhat angelic look about you since your features are still pretty delicate. That will, of course, change as you get older, but I can see why the old man was confused.

Have heart though. I'm sure the girls just swoon over your cutie self! Hair like that will just kill them when you get to college!

I agree with that comment that you are so youthful looking. Oh the curls you got, any woman (or man) would KILL for that!!! Give yourself some time to mature, your jawline will become more prominent and your voice will deepen. If you let it grow even longer, you can pull it back in a loose ponytail or let it loose like Braveheart!

Just don't pierce anything or tattoo anything on your body...I am not crazy about someone "damaging" their handsome faces for that!

I can't believe no one is educating this young man on who Pat is.

I have been called Sir on more than one occassion. It's funny when I turn and they get a look at my, ah, endowedness. Although Tizzy and Lizzy are smaller than Thelma and Louise were, they are still pretty good size.

It's the hair. I keep my hair really short. Maybe an inch long. Any longer than that and it just curls up which I can't stand

I don't think you look like a girl at all! Long hair or not.

I remember when I was in grade 5, for trick or treating I went as a man... fake beard, hair tucked away in a baseball cap, flannel shirt. Well the beard got itchy so I took it off for one house. The lady asked what I was supposed to be. I didn't feel like explaining about the beard so I just told her I was going as a boy. She looked REALLY confused and didn't say anything for about 30 seconds, with this blank look on her face. It was pretty clear that she thought I already WAS a boy, LOL I was pretty insulted for a long time after that.

I also know how it feels to have hair not typical to my gender, too. When I was 19 I put my hair into dreadlocks. I wore them for about 6 months and then I got tired of them so I cut them out. Afterwards it looked like I had a long-ish buzz cut. When it was growing out it stood straight up and looked ridiculous, so I kept it hidden under a toque when I was out in public. I was on the bus one day and took my toque off for a minute because I was getting too hot. LOL as soon as I took it off I heard these two guys sitting right behind me say "man, why do chicks do that ****?" And the other guy go, "I know man, she looks so bad."
Just be glad you are a guy, its far more acceptable to be different than when you are a girl!
