Carry on dimensions- what are the real limits?

makes it easier when your a female

Only because I make a point of getting in the line with the male agent. You just need to work the other way, try to make sure you end up in the female's line.

some Airlines will stop you by boarding, if I do online check in then those are not a problem

The people by boarding belogn to airport not airline.

Seriously? Suffice it to say that rather than focusing on the fact that you can't put on makeup and bat your eyelashes, instead try striking up conversation, asking the TSA agent about her job/day, and telling her a little about your upcoming trip. IME being friendly achieves a whole lot more than any other flirting.

I know the game quite well (I study it almost every day), but I still think it's silly to assume men have the same power.

Err, this is getting strange. How about simply looking around for the friendliest face (male or female) and getting onto that line.

Is air france strict on carry-ons?
What's the chances of me getting through with an overweight carry-on wheelie, suitbag, hatbox, And guitar?

just an update.
I got through with no issues at all, me and my wife were the chatty couple

you usually don't have an option as there is one line and a bunch of agents at the end.
Also looks can be deceiving. Based on my experience this time and previously I am now under the impression you have a better chance if you find an obnoxious agent and make his/her day.  In my case I was telling my wife I want anyone but a specific agent who was weighing all the carry-ons and making people pay, and of course that's who I got

Well I've had success observing the agents for a moment or 2. Seeing which ones were uptight, and which ones would be more likely to be chilled.

It has nothing to do with the agent  or how well you can flirt....  It's all min hashem.  If God wants you to get through he can cloud the vision  of the usually attentive agent, if not he will open the eyes of the sloppy agent who usually  let's things through.

uh, yes and He can also make your 85lb bags weigh in at 15lbs... and He can make the wind carry you and your baggage to wherever you were going so you can save on airfare and overweight baggage fees.

I've had such miracles. More like a kapitel tehillim and a hazkara can make an agent forget to look, or not realize that your toes are helping hold the weight.

Anyone ever have a problem with a large carry-on bag + a large laptop bag?
