How do you be effeminate?

Answer:
It is somewhat difficult to summarize this complex subject, and your best bet is to observe what effeminate people do; your model would be gay men who are particularly trying to make their sexual orientation obvious to casual viewers. However, effeminacy can be described as involving elegant clothing, languid or supercilious attitude, an exaggerated sense of decorum as opposed to brash masculinity, possibly the use of makeup if you want to be severely effeminate, an appreciation of Barbara Streisand music or Broadway musicals. I am venturing into the realm of stereotype, but then, in a sense that's what effeminacy is, a conformity to a stereotypical model of a what a man would be like if he were trying to resemble a woman. Even though women are not all that much like effeminate men.
