I am not an ftm, but I would really, really like to pass as male. I'm already really tall for a girl and therefore sufficiently tall for a guy, and I have short hair,but it still looks girly (nothing a hat can't fix). I know about breast binding and dressing masculine, but how can I make my face look less feminine? How can I make my voice sound convincingly masculine? Finally, do you think that roundish/ovally glasses make a person look more feminine than if she were to wear contacts? Thank you.

Wow, a lot of you are so critical! I want to pass as male because I am a strong butch and I feel awkward looking as feminine as I do. I am not an ftm because I am not in the process of transitioning, and I don't necessarily want a penis so much as I want not to have feminine attributes.
Thanks so much for your advice, but I'm not sure what you mean by hands being a giveaway. Do you mean nails/calluses, or the size of the hands, or what? I'm a real newbie at this.

Someone already mentioned the hands. There are lots of other giveaways.
Men typically have a prominent adam's apple, broader shoulders, the bulge in the trousers, larger feet, body hair, facial hair, as well as the lower voice.
If you want to pass, you can try spending some time with a recorder practicing with your voice.
Spend some time watching how men walk, and practice that.
Spend some time lifting weights and try to build some upper body strength and mass.
You might want to try a pair of larger shoes, padding them to fit your feet.
With your hands, you'll need some practice moving them in a bit less feminine manner. Women's hands are usually more graceful than men's, along with being smaller. If you can change that, you'll go a long way to making them appear less feminine.
A theatrical make-up artist might help with some facial hair.
There's not alot you can do about the adam's apple, but there are a few men who don't have one. Just don't advertise it by looking upwards too often.
If you really want to pass, and you're seriious about doing so on a more permanent basis, you might try testosterone, which will add some facial hair and muscle mass.
The link below has some information, and some good links.

The man who responded this primary has it at the cash. I could say if you are going subsequent week, what you must do is hit the using variety each and every night time. EVERY night time. Go out and get a bucket no less than, and pay attention to simply hitting the ball strait. Don't attempt to hit it rough, and do not attempt to get fancy, simply swing the membership and make touch. I could additionally write down approximately how a long way you hit every membership after a couple of swings. While it will not be correct, it is going to no less than depart you with a few suggestion as to what membership to hit whilst you are at the path. who is aware of, you may also opt for it up fairly speedy and won't must cross each and every night time, however it is a well begin. Golf is not approximately how a long way you hit the ball, it is approximately how repeatedly you hit it. Sure, when you hit the ball three hundred+yards, you can without a doubt hit it much less, however now not if you are regularly within the bushes or out of bounds. You'll hit it a long way much less instances if you'll hold the ball in play, nomatter when you hit one hundred yd or three hundred yd drives. Last factor to consider whilst you are at the path is etiquette. substitute the turf you're taking, and consider to hold quiet throughout men and women's swings and so on. Others will support you with that. Remember to play your possess sport. Just given that anyone is gambling fairly good and taking bizarre dangers and gambling peculiar pictures, does not imply you must. Have amusing and do what is relaxed.

I hazard to ask why you would want to dress and speak like a guy.
A large number of guys have fine faces that are seen more on women and a bit of makeup will help you out there but as to the voice-just drop it an octive or two. Don't force the sound it should be natural. Horn rimmed glasses will help where contacts & round/oval won't.
Why do I get the feeling I am missing something here.

There are always losers on this page ready to disparage the rest of us. Ignore them.
I've been meaning to read Self-Made Man by Norah Vincent, who passed as a man for over a year to see how men lived. I know she even faked a five o'clock shadow convincingly, and I'm sure she would describe how she did it in her book. Check it out and good luck!!
