I like how I walk as a guy.<\/p>\n
It took me years to develop the walk.<\/p>\n
My personal, unique strut.<\/p>\n
Being a shorter guy (5’8″), for a long time, I’d work a visual illusion to suggest a greater height. I’d stand up pretty straight and then sort of hunch my shoulders over, kinda like how taller guys hunch over, it served its purpose well … people often thought I was taller than I really was, apparently ’cause I looked as if I had to hunch over !!<\/p>\n
Over the years … I have modified it slightly …
\n
\nI removed most of the hunch over, so I was standing more straight up, and then tossed in a bit of a swagger, sorta a “I got krap to do here” look that suggested confidence, but not arrogance.<\/p>\n
To this day …<\/p>\n
I love my walk. It’s great.<\/p>\n
But it’s a walk I’m going to soon retire.<\/p>\n
Oh sure, I’m going to miss it.<\/p>\n
But I get to replace it with multiple walks.<\/p>\n
I’ve been working on them … refining them.<\/p>\n
At first …<\/p>\n
The whole walking like a girl thing was difficult for me.<\/p>\n
I had to break some bad habits …<\/p>\n
The guy stride, the guy pace, the guy falling over my feet with each step look.<\/p>\n
And at first, I could not figure out what to do with my arms and hands.<\/p>\n
But with lotsa practice …<\/p>\n
I’ve gotten better with the posture, the wiggle, and the speed.<\/p>\n
And I’m getting more natural hand and arm movements …<\/p>\n
I really don’t think much about them.<\/p>\n
And I really don’t think much about my walk anymore.<\/p>\n
It’s developed nicely.<\/p>\n
But I’m still not quite there …<\/p>\n
I tend to think my current walk …<\/p>\n
Is probably more perky, happy …<\/p>\n
Than is useful in all situations.<\/p>\n
There’s a subtle bounce to my steps combined with some decent, relaxed posture.<\/p>\n
I think I need to develop a confident, serious stride …<\/p>\n
Along with refining my sexy, on-the-prowl stroll.<\/p>\n
Oh well, took me a while to get the boy walk down …<\/p>\n
It’s only right my girl strides will take some time to refine ! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Side note … my posture while walking has improved dramatically … but ughhhhh … I so hate sitting with proper girl posture … I mean, it’s important, I’ve seen pics and videos of me doing both … I gotta do it … but gawd, sometimes … slouching is soooo nice and comfy !! \ud83d\ude42 Oh yeah, and my girl “hurry across the street” walk and “running into the store moves” still don’t feel quite there. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
