All Feed Back welcome positive or negative...

Mr Will

Sorry if this in the wrong forum!
I really like wearing female clothing! It's not that I get a sexual buzz off it, but I feel more natural in them (as well its better than men's fashion) !!! I have 5 friends that know this!!! My problem is I'm straight and every time I meet a girl I'm interested in, I just can't explain my "Issue"!
My friends are very understanding "thankfully"!!! BUT it took a lot of dutch courage to show them the real me!!!
If I had my way we should wear what we want! women wear trousers so why not men skirts (Scots do it)!!! But socially its not accepted for men to do so...

I'd like some honest feed back from all....

For years women were made wear dresses and skirts. Now we can wear what we want. Times change and so do attitudes. If a man is happy wearing women's clothing let them be is what I say. It's not some form of perversion for the majority of men but a form of liberation and expression.

If you could pick clothing that is not typically female you should be okay, e.g. don't wear pencil skirts. There are things that both men and women can wear and if I were you I would go for these. The aim is that you don't want to draw attention to yourself for the wrong reason, so you have to have a bit of common sense in this.

No - but then wearing "women's clothes" is not socially accepted in the Scottish culture either - the kilt is traditional dress for men only, much like the Tongan tupenu or the Malay sarong...it's not the same as a man putting on clothes designed and commonly worn only by women. It's the dressing effeminately, rather than having formal/traditional male costume that pre-dates trousers, that is not widely socially accepted.

To combat that - you need to find a partner that's as opened minded on the issue as you are and unfortunately I suspect that's going to be no easy task. Maybe look on-line and see if there are cross-dressing communities in which you might meet someone. Other than that it's probably a case of picking the right time between them forming an attachment to you/you them and getting too attached to broach the subject.

All the best.

Do you do it in public or in the privacy of your own home?

I know that some girls would find it strange or weird, but I personally would not care if it was in your own home (obv I have limits personally like wigs and make-up) but what I am trying to say is that you have to be honest.

Some girls reaction might surprise you one day!

Unfortunately OP it's a cultural issue here that's not going to change any time soon. There is less distinction between male and female clothing in alot of Asian countries so might be worth looking up some Korean or Japanese fashion magazines. A Japanese friend of mine came to Ireland and when looking for clothes wandered between the male and female sections of the store and picked up stuff from both without bating an eye lid but we general in the west are more rigged in our separation of gender moulds.

You'll find alot of people will confuse you with either dressing in drag or dressing that way as part of a sexual fetish. The only advice to offer is to focus on wearing gender neutral clothing leaning towards materials and cuts that are generally viewed as feminine leaning as your standard day to day wear and it won't seem as such a shift for people if you then wear much more feminine clothing. Someone who dresses super masculine in their general appearance then going to wearing super feminine clothing would be very jarring to alot of people and mis-read as a fetish or gender confusion.

I don't do makeup or wigs! And its only in the privacy of my own home. I just feel more comfortable in womens clothing, Don't get me wrong I don't rush home every evening and don on the glad rags! I comfortable wearing males clothes too! But there is days I just wanna put womens clothes on and lounge around my house! I just don't want women thinking i'm weird by doing it though! I'm completly hethrosexual but find it hard to explain this to women I like!

What sort of womens clothes would you wear OP ?

Mr Will

Skirts or dresses...

It might be worth looking into online dating sites/dating agencies, that would cater for this kind of thing. I'd be very surprised if there isn't.

i think whatever floats ur boat is good and ull find someone that accepts u for u

if a guy i liked told me that, it would surprise me but wouldnt turn me off if i really liked him

Okay, my honest opinion would be that I like a man to dress like a man, not a woman, sorry OP but that's the way it is with me. I would be turned off if my man wore a dress. If he wanted to wear a wrap around skirt that didn't look too too much like what a woman would wear then that would be the height of what I could tolerate. I would not walk down the street with him in a skirt or dress though. I don't think I would like him dressing in a dress in private either. Now if it was generally accepted it might be different, but at the moment it isn't. Others might feel differentlly but that is how I feel.
