Five Crossdressing Tips to Feminize Your Walk
To maximize your chances of passing for a woman, it’s important that you spend some time perfecting your walk. As we all know, men walk differently than women. They tend to lean forward a bit and walk stiffly using their shoulders, quite aggressively. Women, on the other hand, move with grace and confidence. Using their hips to maneuver, they take small steps. By following five simple guidelines, you too can feminize your gait to complement your feminine personality.
- back
- Loosen up
- where to look
- use your hips
- your stride
You need to get out of the habit of keeping your shoulders hunched forward and sailing with your upper body. Women do not move their shoulders when they walk. If you try to take a few steps with your shoulders back, you’ll find that this immediately forces your hips to work.
Women tend to have looser bodies than men, allowing them to swing their arms freely at their sides. They also have more flexibility in the elbows. Usually the arms are held above the waist, especially when carrying a bag. The strap of a shoulder bag is often held delicately, just below the shoulder. A bag can also be hung below the elbow, with the arm above the waist. The other arm can move freely. You may notice that women generally walk with their elbows tucked in and often have a light step.
Try not to look down all the time as this is unnatural and gives the impression that something is wrong. Although you may not feel confident, eye contact is important and also helps you gauge how people are reading you. And don’t forget to smile. Women tend to smile with their lips together or showing only part of their teeth. The sides of the mouth are usually turned up, giving a warm smile. It is better to avoid a big cheesy smile.
Women naturally have a lower center of gravity, which causes them to use their hips to walk. Try it by placing one foot in front of the other and swinging your hips freely. Remember to keep your shoulders back and loosen your arms. It may be a bit tricky at first, but you’ll soon get the hang of it with a little practice.
Since men have longer legs than women, they take bigger steps. To feminize your gait, try taking smaller steps and walking much slower than normal. You should also try to keep your knees together. Walking in heels or a tight skirt can often help you perfect this, forcing you to take small, delicate steps.
Taking note of these points will help you feminize your walk and improve your feminine appearance. Just remember to always stand tall and be confident.
