How do you lose gay mannerisms? ?

Oh please...if you have gay mannerisms it most likely means you have manners, respect, dignity and class... Why would you want to lose any of those?

Hm. Very harsh answers to a question with no exclamation marks... Hm. There are many gay men with very "masculine" mannerisms (farting in public, being a pig, etc.) and they still like guys. And, no homosexuality is not a choice. NOT A CHOICE. Was that clear enough? What about really feminine guys who like to poke girls? They aren't defective, or wrong, but they simply to not match up to preset standards (which should be thrown in an eco-friendly recycling center, by the way). Take a different angle on things. Change your perception: why do "normal" people act like they do? Look at how we're the same, not how we're different.

i don't think having 'gay mannerisms' is a bad thing - it means that even people with really bad gay-dar can tell your gay!!!! now that's gotta be a good thing right?

but if you still want to change, i would suggest you study (i know...such a boring assignment) football players, chavs (maybe not?) and other masculine sterio-types on-line (so you don't get your a** kicked when they notice lol!!!!) maybe get someone to video you just going about normally, find your 'gay mannerisms' and concentrate on dampening them, or swapping them for something more masculine...

just a few ideas

(ps. I know it will be hard at first...cos you are trying to break a natural habit... but ask some friends that you really trust, and know won't laugh at you [cos some people aren't the most encouraging...] to help you

eg. discreetly remind you [eg. nudge you] when your doing something particularly 'gay' etc.)

good luck!!!!

You could look online for passing tips for transsexual men and FtM transgendered people, most websites that deal with that have advice on how to walk talk ect in a conventionally "masculine" way.

Also, while I'm giving advice, don't ever say "gay mannerisms" again.

I spent much of my life trying to walk with a John Wayne swagger. I doubt there was much improvement to my perceived swish. I was born this way, probably prenatal. I don't care now, but I still think about it. I think that my close association with my grandmothers and five aunts had no effect on my mannerisms.

well i wouldn't know what kinda mannerisms u may have.. but i would say talk to a good friend of urs, a guy friend and ask him what kinda things u do that are not manly enough.. ask him to help u correct them... and he could coach u through, that way u'll know when u r doing something that's not manly enough, and u could correct it, and observe him, see how he does whatever u may do that might be kinda girlish, and hopefully with time u'll be able 2 correct all ur mannerisms

how stupid is that? people telling you you have gay mannerisms?

well, maybe you could dig around in some car grease and grunt. apparently, that's what it takes to be "masculine"

Just don't talk too much with your hands. Try not to do that at all. One of my close friends talks with his hands and it is extremely irritating.

The mouth is to be used for conversing. Hands can be helpful from time to time, but not for every single word.
