Did you know you only have 7 seconds to make a first impression?
After that, a person’s judgments have been made and are almost impossible to change.
So how can you be sure people see you as the fabulous female that you are?
I won’t lie… good looks help. But it’s often the little details that make or break a first impression.
Here are my top 5 ways to make a feminine first impression:
1. Know what you want to project
First, you have to know what you want to project:
- Is your goal to blend in as an everyday girl?
- Or do you want to stick out as a gender-bending fashion diva?
- Do you want to be recognized for your style and sophistication?
- Or do you simply want people to notice your great legs? 🙂
When you know what you want to project, you can then determine if your appearance and attitude get the message across.
2. Be aware of your body language
Body language is critical to first impressions. You never want to look nervous, ashamed, or on the opposite end of the spectrum, arrogant.
Your posture and body language should tell the world that you’re a classy, confident woman who deserves respect.
Here are 27 body language mistakes that can detract from a feminine first impression. Avoid them at all costs!
3. Wear the right color
Did you know that 50% of all non-verbal messages come from color? Amazing but true!
The color you wear has a strong subconscious impact on how people perceive you – especially when you present yourself as a woman.
Different colors have different meanings (more on that here), so consider what the colors that you wear communicate.
Even more importantly, you should wear colors that flatter you and make you feel great.
4. Check your grooming habits
Studies show that physical attractiveness is mostly based on “self care” – that is, good grooming, neat hair, and nice clothes.
That’s great news because presentation is something you can control! After all, most of us weren’t born supermodels, but anyone can take the time to look the part.
Grooming can make or break a first impression, so be sure your standards are up to par. Here are 5 feminine grooming habits that should be part of your regular routine.
5. Make eye contact
Your eyes reveal more about you than you probably realize. Avoiding eye contact gives the impression that you have low self-esteem or have something to hide.
Confident eye contact puts people at ease and wins respect. That’s definitely a plus for a positive first impression.
So be bold, look people in the eye, and don’t forget to smile!
What kind of impression do YOU want to make?
There’s a lot to be said about this topic, but I’ve highlighted the most important areas you should consider.

I’m at a place where everything you have put out there has worked. I can go out in public and be called a lady. It very satisfying and sort of a turn on. If I would be asked by a guy for a date, hell yes I would go and have a great time. Since I am also bi-sexual, it may lead to a wonderful relationship. The possibilities are endless.
While I do take care to try and look “passable”, it’s not to blend in. Being confident as both man and woman I seem to have attracted the media, here in England, and try to educate the public about our reasons to Transition, whether it be all the way to surgical re-assignment or just dressing occasionally. I have found the best way is to smile, be friendly and take an interest in whoever you meet. A smile and friendly manner goes along way.
Wish I could find someone

Lucille,
I want to thank for making all this happen. To me you are the best online adviser for TG Girls. I have been studying so much of all of your tips and advice. I have even purchased a few of your programs to help me along the way. I most definitely have learned so much from this one site. I have been busy for over a year now putting my image together so far I am finding the right clothes that make me look like I belong in this world and fit. Your tips about how to enhance the qualities of what you are born with are just incredible. I am just beginning now to shop for clothing that fit and they really do. I now know a little bit about shoes. I must confess this is becoming a weak point. It’s like going to a candy store and you just want to taste them all. I had a few months ago bought my first wig. Not exactly what I had hoped for. Yesterday I consulted with a company to buy two more wigs that are going to be just fabulous. The young lady was so good to me. I think I am more excited about this than Christmas. lol My next thing is to learn how to apply makeup and I got your program for that. Lot’s of good info and I can hardly wait to see me make the transition. Thank you again for everything. I post my photo because I wanted all to see where I am at now and as time goes by I post more photos as I make the change.
Sincerely,
Gerri
Yes…, Thank You Lucille, I appreciate all of the femme tips, tricks, and insights you provide for special girls like me, here on this cross dressing site.

Hi,
Confidence , This is two fold and maybe contary , Im very confident as a person and as a female,very strong and have no issues being a female,
= not trans = im a woman at 69,
Okay my issues started at age 10 in not ever liking how I looked ,so confidence in myself as being feminine in how I look is the issue not my body as that’s great its just my facial features and nothing will change that so forget makeup that’s out done that and to look stupid will be worse, though I meet 1000,s of people and in the public a lot makes me feel a fool and embarrised , when your born with this male,ish look its very very hard to just brush under the carpet,
Even being a female does not ease this feeling… if you like… it,s the one detail about my self I cannot shake off, other details about myself are good and passable with out a problem so I avoid the camera,s even though I do photography for others , and do get caught out and cant wiggle out of it so I don’t show photos of myself just the one or two I …have …too and I don’t like them youll see one of three on Facebook and other forums im on and that’s it,
The good note is I see many of you here with lovely photos of your selfs very lovely.
