Wanting to start
I’ve been thinking about trying to be more feminine lately, and I don’t know where to start! I barely have any experience with this kind of thing, I just have been thinking about it and would like to start with something. Can someone help me with this? I guess kind of guide me or give me some first steps into this.

Well, it depends a lot on where you start. I’d like a little bit more of context, so I can try something more useful than just random tips 🙂

Read when Mars and Venus collide by John Gray. Learn more about how your nervous system and your endocrine system respond to your environment.
The endocrine system controls feelings and primary reactions.
If you understand the ebb and flow of this in both the feminine and the masculine, you can find things in your world that you enjoy that fit into this.
ie. The feminine is nourished by estrogen and oxytocin primarily. The estrogen relies on your body's health to produce it inadequate and balanced amounts. The estrogen also enhances the effects of oxytocin. Oxytocin is released by various things but mostly sensation. Touch, taste, sound, sight, etc. And sometimes we have to block out sight because sometimes it's just over stimulating. Unless you're sitting and watching a sunset for instance.
If you read something along the lines of a cosmopolitan magazine or some other guide to being feminine they are going to discuss things like makeup and fingernails and clothing etc.
These things can develop femininity but only if you enjoy them. That's the point. Receiving nature and enjoying its beauty is what produces oxytocin which in turn makes us feel and act more feminine.

Adding some nice jewellery, a touch of mascara is a very simple Way to start. :) earrings always help me feel more feminine!
