Squish Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 It's hard to find photos of me that aren't of the back of my head (rock climbing)... but enjoy. (Bonus points if you work out what my gender is) I know what gender you are, Tink :) Link to post Share on other sites
Ellytoad Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I hate the usual jeans and T-shirt ensemble. Give me robes. Long flowing wizardly ones. With a flat chest and no makeup. There's my hearty eff you to the classic feminine look. I can't resist super-long hair though. I'm keeping my long hair. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I LIKEY!!! Hmm.. gender.. I'm a panromantic ace.. I could care less!! Lol. But I have no idea. :P Thanks. *Big grin* I hate the usual jeans and T-shirt ensemble. Give me robes. Long flowing wizardly ones. With a flat chest and no makeup. There's my hearty eff you to the classic feminine look. Yea, but you can't climb a tree in robes. That's why jeans are awesome (but not skinny leg jeans, they have to be baggy).

I guess that while your clothing suggests a male gender, your face makes me thing you might be biologically female. so.. did I guess right? Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Yup. That there is my identical twin sister. Wow. You peeps are twins?! I suppose that I do see that you have used the same 'puters, so I guess that perhaps you lived together. But I did not guess twinsies. Cool! :) Though we often get mistaken for a couple. An awesomely hot asexy couple. 8) Link to post Share on other sites
BKAce Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Do you think androgyny is an asexual feature? I always tried to dress genderlessly but I think it was only because I had issues with people looking at me as a girl (I didn't want them to look at me as a boy either). I used to wear baggy jeans and t-shirts. But I've changed a lot since university (about 10 years ago). I gradually started accepting to dress more feminine and now I just dress as I please, from completely boyish looks (people don't mistake me for a boy though, but they think I'm in my twenties :P ) to girly skirts and dresses. However, I still hate shiny stuff and designs. It's weird but I'm considered "hard to shop for" by my friends and family (and shop owners) because I like "plain" clothes. I only wear make-up for those events that I'm dragged to attend, lol. Ever since discovering asexuality as an orientation, I've noticed that I've been taking care of my looks more than before. I feel freer now and more accepting of myself, which is really nice ^_^ Even though I've never been sexually attracted to anybody, I've always been fascinated by the androgynous look: I didn't know the name back then and I didn't know I was being specifically drawn to one type of people. But reading this thread made me realize that. Even in my dreams (daydreams/imagination) most of my favorite characters were sexless. When I got hooked on Gale Harold, I thought I was "cured" of my asexuality, until a few lesbians pointed out how they were also attracted to him (they had a community called "Harold's Dykes"). In fact, that's how I was introduced to the notion of androgyny: Dionysus Redux Now, looking back, I realize that the people that look attractive to me are always like that. Ellen DeGeneres, Kurt Cobain, Brian Kinney, Tintin, Bugs Bunny (lol)... I don't like the type with a lot of make-up on, I just like the simple yet very elegant type: masculine females and feminine males but without the mannerisms of either sex (it makes sense in my head but I can't explain it in words :redface:) Link to post Share on other sites
carried in bags Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 i richey ive always liked the androgynous look and love it when you see someone and cant be sure if theyre male or female. tho i think guys look better androed up than girls do. i dont think i can get away with it with my face and build, so i just keep to nail varnish and womenswear. tinker: the first pic looks more male, the second more female Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Do you think androgyny is an asexual feature? Nope. It goes along the line of "people are attracted to people", if you happen to be attracted to more androgynous people, then good for you. If you happen to be attracted to macho men or girly girls, then that's good for you too. Asexuality is simply a definition of how you relate to someone you're attracted to, that is in a non-sexual manner. I do, however, think that asexual people are commonly attracted to androgynous people. Link to post Share on other sites

I do, however, think that asexual people are commonly attracted to androgynous people. Sorry for the generalization (I hate when others do that, lol), I meant that it seemed a more prevalent preference in the asexual community, like you said. I give myself a headache sometimes trying to understand how my mind works : I'm neither attracted to others sexually nor romantically, but I still consider them attractive. Anyway, maybe I find the androgynous look very beautiful esthetically because I always hated society's fixed norms about gender roles. Maybe it's my unconscious rebellion against social restrictions regarding how men and women should behave, dress, talk, work, walk... (Growing up, I remember being laughed at whenever I asked why women can wear pants, ties, suits but men can't wear dresses, high heels, make-up without being considered weird/freaks? And I still don't get it <_< ) Link to post Share on other sites

Lego Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I like the androgynous look! Something aiding it is my height, which is 6'11", and I'm pretty lanky. This has had me mistaken for a guy on several occasions. I've actually wanted to take it farther in the androgynous/masculine realm but I don't want the added social pressure of seeming butch either... Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Auletris Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Hi! I admire androgynous women and adore androgynous men. I have megabites upon megabites of images I've saved over the years. I'm new to the forums, hopefully I'll be able to work the image settings right. Some people I haven't seen mentioned yet: Orlando Bloom as Legolas. He has a square face and hairline but the long hair balances that out. Some guy (haha) as Glorfindel (in the Fellowship of the Ring book he's the one who saves Frodo, not Arwen). I don't think he's actually in the movies though. Jennifer Garner (here as Elektra). She has quite a square jawline, negligible boobs and zero hips - she could totally pull it off. Gren from the episodes "Jupiter Jazz" parts 1 & 2 of Cowboy Bebop. Technically he is -- well, I don't want to give it away. It's a great and depressing story. And finally Sesshomaru from Inuyasha. Tell me he isn't the prettiest anime character you've ever seen. And totally badass. Link to post Share on other sites
Yanagi Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Here's a few from androgynize me. Sammie already posted some others. You can totally tell where I got my avatar from, can't you. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Auletris Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Not to be annoying, but I thought I'd post a picture of Johnny Depp looking androgynous, because it is possible. David Bowie pre-Ziggy (and with eyebrows, hooray!). This is from 1965 and is one of my favorite pictures of him - he has short hair and still looks androgynous. Ziggy Stardust here, photo by Masayoshi Sukita. Check out the jawline and lack of brow ridge. Same with Bill Kaulitz - it's not just the makeup. (I didn't realize the pictures were so similar until I posted them. Bill does remind me of Mr Bowie.) I also want to point out that nearly all high-fashion models not only have stick bodies, but their facial features tend to be masculine, making them androgynes whether they realize it or not : P Link to post Share on other sites
Sammie Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 That picture of Johnny Depp is great! Goes to show that it's not just about shoulders or jawline. A lot of people can look androgynous if they try. It's more about style and posture than it is about a physical thing. We all have male and female looking traits that we can play to.
