I don't like my hair down either so I keep it up in a ponytail all the time cause it feels more comfortable. I love wearing makeup and usually don't go out without it, but no matter what I can't shake off this feeling like I look a guy and I don't like it. I feel manly around more feminine women and I get jealous. I'm straight and I don't really want to be a guy so I don't know. Maybe it runs in my family cause my brother likes to wear skirts and says he doesn't identify with either gender. I think me and him should have been born the opposite sex sometimes perhaps we'd feel more normal.

I have some of the same problems that you do. Everyone tells me when I dress up I look like a model, but I don't like to wear make-up and I really don't have a clue what to do with my hair. I also wear jeans most of the time.
I think for me its an anxiety issue, I don't want to wear skirts or anything that will have men looking at me, because I get nervous. anyway, people are really close-minded. I have been asked if I am a lesbian because I always wear pants.... Pretty sad huh?
