I found that too. When Women walk its more of a passive walk. I find when men walk including myself its more fast and aggressive.

But to be very honest, even when men are in drag I can still tell they are men.

Back photos though are the hardest Determination of Gender. If Ahhhhhhhnold of California(look at my biceps) had long hair and he had a picture of himself in the back you could probally tell it was a man.

It is harder to tell for skinny dudes though.

It's because of the slender shoulders.. it throws me off. But then, Bikerbraid, you're right, you can usually tell by the walk if the person is male or female.

And yes, it is obvious when you see an alpha male.. you can see the muscles peeking out from through the hair and.. well aside from female body builders, being "beefy" is kinda a guy thing.

But I suppose if you wanted to be like Arnold and then have long hair... well, I guess you'd end up looking like Fabio.. Roll Eyes

I have a friend that is female and she if you look at her from the back you would think she was a guy. She has a guys shape: a narrow flat rear, broad shoulders, and she is 6 feet tall the only real female shape she has is her chest lol. Sorry guys for the flat rear comment I know some guys out there don't have a flat rear Grin

wow, I want that hair...

Unfortunately mine just doesn't want to get any longer than the middle of my back...

When it comes to being mistaken for women from behind - I've had it a few times. A couple of times people at work have commented that until I turned round they had wondered who the new red haired girl was - but most often I get it when I'm travelling. I'll be sitting on the plane with my head in a book, and one of the cabin crew will refer to me as "ma'am" when coming round with the refreshments - until I look up, and then they get horribly embarrsed and apologise profusely. I just find it funny though

Even funnier is when they make the mistake and then don't apologise - I always wonder if they're just hoping I didn't notice, or if they just never cottoned on...

I've seen some I was not at all sure about. SF

Reply #52 - Jan 3^rd, 2005 at 3:03am When I was young and wore a pixie cut, I was frequently mistaken for a boy. Now that I have long hair I don't think that mistake would ever be made, but then I also have a distinctive female body shape - very pear shaped. Even with short hair I doubt the mistake would be made now!

I've had that happen to me when I WAS wearing makeup. Of course I was in baggy clothes, and the person mistook me for a fella from behind. This was back when I had my punkish spiky short hair in my mid-teens. At the time, I wasn't amused...but then about 2 weeks later, I made the same mistake to some poor woman at the checkout queue in the market.

"Excuse me sir...", says I, and to my horror a woman turns around, highly irritated. I got all flustered and apologize profusely. Embarrassed

It was an honest mistake though. She was kinda butch!
