I'm not gay, or a transvestite, but I'm curious. Help me become a woman for a day, so I can conduct an experiment to see if chivalry is dead. The results will get published hopfully as a freelance article, if not in a blog or web page.
What do I need to know? Dress, posture, speech, mannerisms, and anything else you can think of.
Thanks in advance

I think your proposal is interesting, but I fear that you may have a flaw in the logic. It is not simple to acquire those mannerisms of a woman by simply putting on a dress, and make-up.
I fear that you may not experience true chivalry because others might not be convinced of your feminine identity.

Well, first of all, shave really well. Wear just a little, tasteful makeup. If you have an obvious adam's apple, wear a turtle neck or scarf.
Keep your gestures and steps smaller than you usually do. Don't make eye contact. Make your gestures from elbow to hand rather than your full arm.
If you speak, keep your voice higher and softer than what's normal for you. Keep your knees together when you sit.
Even after all this, if you live in a reasonably large city, some people are going to spot you as a cross dresser right away.

Allright. Dont try TOO hard to act like a lady. Around halloween is the best time to try this, since u can buy lady wigs 4 cheap that look real enough. Wear a large bra, and STUFF IT!!! Go to makeup sites to find out which shade is best for you, so that you dont look like a drag queen. Use coverup to block out all ur MANLY SCARS. As ur probably built like a man, wear clothes simalar to these:
White flaired pants with bling: http://dts.ystoretools.com/1039/images/250x1000/615.jpg
Why? Because it takes a lady to pick out cute blinged pants. Girls love Bling-Bling on their pants, but dont go overbord...
White Cami Tank Top:

Why? Because you can put something over it for an excuse for a jacket your not planning on taking off, which will hide your manly figure.
Poncho:

Why? Cause it can go over the cami. (Just wearing a plain cami will totally give you away, plus it is it considered taky not to wear nething over it) Ponchos are high in style
A cute Newsboy hat

Why? It would go great with the poncho, and it will keep your wig in place.
That dresscode will keep you a very fashionable girl. You will be envied.
Follow the color code:
What goes together
Browns, tans, whites, and cream colored
jeans go with anything
green and pink
purple, blue and shiny black give u the diva look but stay classy
Look for some clip-on or magnetic earings (if your ears arent peirced) and put a thong on, pull your pants down a little bit low so that your thong shows off. You also might want to buy fake lashes, or an eyelash curler.
Safety note: Dont attempt to use a curling iron or a hair straightener on the wig... you will be sorry if you do.
Shave like 300 times really good, and get rid of the side burns.
Okay? Good luck!!!

It´s not only dressing and make up like a woman...it´s thinking like a woman...my recomendation is that you talk to women and make simple questions and try to see the way they think and react to those questions....
Good luck and then contact me...I wanna know how was your experience like a woman for a day!!!!

well, if you want to be a woman for one day then put a smile onto your face to start with..I have numerous response from any aged man and woman just by smiling on the street and searching for the look..that is a good start..Your face need to be hairless, nice make up if you can, but it is not important..Glow and show self-confidence...
You need to walk straight, high wheels are not
necessary..choose a style, sporty, elegant, casual .....and dress for it.....Imagine yourself being a woman..talking to women friend might be a better idea, since they are able to demonstrate walking and talking....
Watch women carefully around you, observe them and try to imitate them in your free time.;-)
let me know how your experiment went..

Get a thong some high heels and a dress with a bra and stuff the bra with napkins. Also you'll need some ears rings and makeup.
good luck my cross dressing friend.

Well, obviously you'd have to 'pass' for this to work out for you. Can you accomplish this? Or will people be able to spot you for a guy right off? Actually I don't have any tips, but I'm sure if you try, you can do alright.

To spare you the embaressment, the waxing, and the hell of heels chivalry is dead. But to be helpful...
-Make shure every hair on your body is shaved...eye brows waxed, it hurts but..." No one likes a mustach!"

Women are just, women. You can't really explain it. Hang out with a few for a couple of days in a row.
