Poll: Have you ever been mistaken for the opposite gender?

[Mr. Google]

I guess...On the phone when I was like 8 years old people would ask if it was my mom. If that counts then sure. In person no never.

 

[GlenTheFox]

Over the phone when I was younger I had a few people mistake me for a girl. And then more recently I've had a few people mistake me for a girl from behind.

 

[Zorpheus]

When people only hear my voice, like over the phone or through an intercom, I get mistaken as female occasionally, as I don't have the most masculine voice.

No chance of that happening in person, though.

 

[Limie]

All the time! The funniest was in Disneyland Florida, whereupon the security guard referred to me as "sir" and I was about to correct him, when I noticed he had a large firearm. I really don't know why they think I'm a dude either which baffles me to no end.

 

[Mr. Eff_v1legacy]

I won't say mistaken...but one time, this strange man came into my work and asked to use the phone. "Sure," I said, "let me get it for you." I found out that as I went to get the phone, he said "Thatta girl...I mean, boy." It puzzled, amused, and creeped me out a bit.

I'm pretty tall, and a few years ago when I was kinda underweight I went for a very androgynous look. People were kinda confused.

Last time it happened was sometime february when I dressed up as a guy for a costume party. I was taken for a guy by a friend of my roomie until I spoke, totally freaking him out. Good times.

For a few years I had my hair long (mid-back to small of the back) and was mistaken for a female occasionally while sitting, or from the back.

 

[Tartarga]

I've never technically been mistaken for a girl but there were a few people who due to my weight made jokes about me resembling a pregnant woman. Though I don't think that counts.

 

[Stuntkid]

Twice. Once when I was at a smoothie shop. The mentally handicapped kids volunteered to serv the customers (or at least the teacher did it for them) I ordered the lemon smoothie, and the kid didn't understand me. The teacher came in to help out. The whole time, she called me a lady. LOL

The second time was at a baseball game; where the exact thing happened! (different people of course)

I don't know. I don't where any make-up nor have a feminine build. Maybe it was because I was wearing a hat at the time, that concealed part of my face. But still, really? LOL

 

[lordlillen]

i have rather long hair for a male so when i was in egypt almost everyone i met there thought i was a girl.

 

[Cameron Day]

A girl once asked if I was Justin Bieber. (I'm a guy)

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

Nope. I'm kind of built like a linebacker, so it'd be pretty unusual for me to be mistaken for a woman. Even if I was for some odd reason, all I'd have to do is talk, and they'd be like, holy crap, you're like a white Machael Clark Duncan. XD

OK maybe not that deep, but pretty deep. XD

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Yep, damn you professor oak.

ha nice one


OT: Nope, i have somewhat longer hair but with the shape of my jaw and the rest of my body shape, i would hope i'm not mistaken for a woman..otherwise that's a pretty muscular/hairy woman.

 

[Magikarp]

I was in a restaurant in france, & a waiter, who had only seen me from behind, addressed me as mademoiselle, though he corrected himself when he saw my face. I had long hair at the time, so I can't blame him.

 

[wereghoul]

i walked into a walgreens with my girlfriend once and an elderly man came up to us and said "Would you young ladies like a book of coupons?" i still cant decide if i was more annoyed or creeped out.....

 

[Zac Smith]

I've been mistaken for a girl a few time, back when I was 13-14 ish and had hair down to my waist...

But after I turned around and people saw my beard and whatnot they realised their mistake.

You were 13 years old with a beard? Enough of a beard to prove you're a man?

 

[skim172]

Never happened - short-haired and kinda big, no one thinks I'm a girl. However, I've been told that my personality might be better suited to me if I was a woman. There's nothing so emasculating.

But I am suspicious as to why the OP wants to know these stories. I have this disturbing inkling that they may be used for purposes of jacking off.

 

[EHKOS]

Ya, I was young, fat enough for moobs, and had long hair covering my eyes. How do ya think it happened?

 

[Brutal Peanut]

Not a once, my good...person.
