'fraid not...

I did figure I could maybe pass for a butch lesbian (babyface, lol) if I'd tried to in my college days, but the stubble comes in somewhat more forcefully now and age is setting the eyebrows and jawline on a determinedly masculine mission.

Yes, it has happened a few times. Combined with my long hair and feminine mannerisms it is to be expected. I am proud of the fact because I don't want to be seen as 'manly'.

A few months ago i was in a shopping centre with my mum and a woman selling some sort of beauty product came up to us and greeted us with "Excuse me ladies"

Needless to say, she didn't get a sale. Though my hair was quite long at the time (not Jesus long, just ending at my shoulders).

EDIT: Funny story: I had played LBP online a few times with a guy in america who i'd never met and one time he asked me if i'd be his Girlfriend. Many, MANY Lols were had on my end.

Happens to me all the time.

I'm a confessed 'pretty boy' or 'bishounen' or whatever its called. Its just the way I look.

Sadly, I just don't suit short hair.

Yes, on the phone only though. I work in a call center, so every once in a while an old fart will call me Miss even though I have a relatively manly voice.

Used to wear a pony tail, used to have rather long hair, that I kept quite clean so it mightve looked feminine a few times.

And my ID has a picture of me with my hair tied back so sometimes people thinks its a woman, at first glance.

And I was waiting in a queue in an art shop and the guy at the counter was talking to someone and said "Excuse one moment so I can serve this lady" Needless to say I didn't speak up, I dont really mind tbh.

I played an old lady in a play, and used a super high-pitched voice, which made some people believe i was actually a girl.

I was at a friends house where he had a bunch of photos from parties up on a wall, I saw a girl I did not recognise .... upon closer inspection it was a really old photo of me :D

when i was a child that happened quite often. I always had my thick hair about shoulder long and i have by nature lots of long eyelashes. But in the last 20 years ? no

All the time.
I'm a guy, but on the phone I apparently sound like my mother?

And I have quite long hair, and from behind or if people can't see my face they tend to confuse me.
In fact, last night it happened when I went into the bathroom at a bar. A guy yelled out and pointed saying "There's a girl in here!"
No harm done though, he was just drunk and confused :p I talked with him for a bit

Since I was about 10 I've had really long hair so I get it a lot from small children or old people. Not so much anymore since my body is slightly less frail and girlish than 9 years ago, though.

I have, once. I was working as a cashier and my head was hidden in a cabinet looking for smokes for a customer. A lady walked by and said good morning ladies.

It also didn't help that I was the ONLY guy cashier as well as I had almost shoulder length hair

Yeah, once. For a while, I had fairly long hair- Lacking the money to get it cut by people who know what the hell they are doing, I just sorta left it- and, one day, some friends of mine invited me to lunch.

Now, these friends of mine are... Well, let's say you aren't going to mistake them for anything other than the manliest of men. We're talking beards, we're talking hulking, all three of them. And there I am, with them at the table, skinny and clean-shaven with long, straight hair.

The waitress comes up, and gives us our drinks. "Here you are, guys... Oh, Sorry! And girl.", she says, tapping my shoulder.

I didn't really mind, though- my friends thought it was hilarious. And so began a running gag!

I'm a lanky, long-haired metalhead looking guy. I actually grew a beard because I was sick of being mistaken for a really butch chick :/
