What is a femboy? What does it mean? Who identifies as one? Is it a new term, or has it been around for a while? There is no one-size-fits-all answer to any of these questions, as the term can mean different things to different people. But that’s what makes it so interesting – the vast and varied world of femboys.
What is a Femboy?
A femboy is a person that looks like an ordinary masculine male but presents as the feminine gender with all body movements, voice tonality and gestures. It can be said that they are “externally male” but act like women on the inside, which makes them appear to be different than what most people expect from a male.
They usually wear female clothing such as skirts, dresses and blouses; they wear their hair long and often style it as women do.
When they feel really confident about themselves and don’t care if people know what sex they are or not, femboys sometimes go with tight clothes or underwear that gives away the fact that they are males.
It’s not unusual for femboys to always be carrying a purse in which they store their make-up, hairbrushes and other things that most women carry around when grooming themselves.

The main thing about being a femboy is to have fun with it, if you are serious about it, then it’s not fun, and femboys should always be having fun.
How to dress like a femboy
Dressing like a femboy depends on what kind of feeling you want to get while wearing your outfit. If you want the “girl” feeling, then it is good to wear skirts and dresses while adding some girly accessories such as hair clips and necklaces.
If you want to get a “boyish” feeling, then it is good to wear tight clothes and some eyeliner.
It can also be fun to mix things up a bit by wearing skirts with shorts underneath them or dressing as a girl on one part of your body while acting like a boy from another. This way, you get the best of both worlds. The main thing is to express yourself and be creative.
The history of the femboy
The concept of the femboy didn’t start today; people have been dressing in styles that were more feminine than what was expected from them for a long time. For example, during the 17-1800’s, it was common for men to wear high heels even if they didn’t want to be thought of like girls.
The difference with the femboy is that it is a movement on its own and not something that is done by accident or because of tradition. Femboys know what they are doing, and they do it on purpose, which is why some people think it’s awesome.
Much like the “metrosexual” man, the femboy gain our attention because it is a new phenomenon in which men dress up as women. There are different reasons why some men do this, but they all want to look good though, whether or not they admit it is a different story.
Many years ago, men who wore make-up and dressed up as women were looked down upon because it wasn’t “manly” to do that. Nowadays, the expression of self has changed from what you look like to how you think about yourself.
And even though there are still many people that think men shouldn’t wear make-up and dresses, the number of femboys is increasing every day.
Why do people like femboys?
Some people are turned on by the idea of appearing to be male but being female at the same time. Femboy have this “tomboy” kind of look that is often desired by many girls, which makes them really sexy.
The fact that femboys are not men also means that they are not taken seriously by other men. This makes them easier targets for games like playing hard to get or “pranking,” where you act like someone’s boyfriend in order to make other guys jealous.
However, since femboys are often straight, this doesn’t really work out well for the prankster.
Many girls find femboys attractive because they are able to get more attention from guys, but that also means that femboys are often being taken advantage of by stingy girls that just want them for their appearance.
Since most femboy don’t really care about what other people think, they can be quite filled with self-confidence, which is an attractive trait in itself.
Cosplaying a Femboy
Femboys are often mistaken for girls, and they enjoy dressing up in cute, girly clothing. Some femboys also enjoy cosplaying as female characters.
Femboy cosplay is when a femboy dresses like a certain character and acts like that character. Femboys often take on the physical and personality traits of their characters to become them in every way. This kind of cosplay can be quite enjoyable to watch because it breaks gender norms.
Cosplaying as someone you’re not comes with some risks. If you want to be a femboy cosplay, you need to make sure that your character is not a sexualized character.
Sexualization means that the media has added in their own ideas about how someone should look or act because of their sex or gender. Femboys can sometimes fall into this trap by wearing revealing clothing and high heels.
Being a femboy comes with a stigma sometimes because society still believes that all women should be feminine and look a certain way. Femboys can sometimes get confused about their own gender identity because they might have been told or shown that being masculine is not the right thing to do.
They may try to pretend to be more feminine in order to fit in with their peers. This can be a difficult journey, so it’s important to have a community of friends and family for support.
In Conclusion
If you want to cosplay as a femboy or just dress up in general, then there are some things that you need to take into consideration. Not everyone is going to think your cosplay is great, and that’s fine.
You’re not cosplaying for other people; you’re doing it for yourself. Take some time to think about why you’re dressing up and what you want out of your experience.
