Good gawd no, Larry. You only do that for sheer comedy. Here's what happens when you pose men like women: http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/alicia-mariah-elfving-ducati-dealership
Try to view that with a straight face. I dare you! ;-) More seriously: watch how the pros pose men vs women. They even have gender names for the poses. There are enormous differences and you don't want to feminize men (unless you want a punch in the nose) or in general, masculinize women (ubless they ask you to or it's for effect).
