They get to wear stockings, heels and dresses without a care in the world. Women all compliment each other and get stares from men etc...

Yes I do. I am sick and tired of the stupid double standards imposed by society in that a woman can wear masculine clothing without any problems but let a man put on a dress - now he is considered a pervert.

Many times when I notice a nicely dressed woman, I am quite jealous wishing I could wear that. I think when I notice a woman anymore it is a much attraction as it is jealousy that she can dress like that whenever she wants.
I don't get jealous per se, but I do think how good that dress/skirt/top or those boots would look on me, or wondering if I could get away with that 'do :)
I get some of my best ideas from other people. I'm still trying to find a comfortable calf height tan boot like the one I saw the other day. The only thing keeping me from wearing anything is that I have not found it yet.
Yes, I do too. I second WandaRae's comment. I see the nicely dressed woman, and how attractive she is. Then I also see the beautiful outfit she's wearing and become very jealous that she can wear it.
just to be able to go down to the local store for my food (other) needs.
some of the lady's i see out and about dressed nice not fancy, some dressed like a dump (worse then my male self ever did). to be able to just be my self dressed as i like. would be a dream.
even in the little town i live in, country and all today there were a number of lady's dressed very nice just at the local shopping area. only a cheep over priced food store a pizza place the usps and a drug store and a couple others. even the mexican food joint is a real dump.
i see a woman and i want to get into her skirt...but i will return it latter.

No, I have no desire to dress like most women but I do like to see a nicely dressed lady. However, I've always been more interested in what's under the dress than the dress itself.
I really get more jealous about the hourglass figure some GGs have.

Jealous? No. Envious? A little. I've always politely and covertly observed nicely dressed women, and not just pretty ones, for ideas and inspiration. It is more than how they are dressed, it is also how they carry and present themselves. Being jealous does not change or help anything. Being inspired does help me to change and get better.
I think Melissa has the right idea, I do envy women, how they can dress, their feminine characteristics, and actually I work with a woman caused me to be envious and I've tried to better myself. Since then I'm been pushing myself forward, hoping one day to be a woman, but that is a while away I think.
I can COPY most any look I see! So, the more pretty ladies, the better I like it!:D
Unfortunately, around my area, MANY females dress like they shop in surf shops or dumpsters!:sad:
There is ONE thing I envy, tho, those willowy model figures that a few GGs have! :daydreaming:
I think Melissa got close to my feelings, but more shaded with a wistful feeling (vague or regretful longing) probably sums it up best for me. Not jealousy at all. but I realize we're all different and it's interesting to see how others feel and compare and contrast...

I can't remember the last time I actually saw a GG dressing enfemme in public!! Oh wait a minute! You mean wearing female clothes in public. Well, they are female so I guess the clothes would be appropiate!!
I just look to see how good, or bad they are dressed! The idea that they can wear masculine clothes is O.K. with me, but I do agree that we should be able to wear what we want to also. In fact, I do most of the time! Since my dear wife passed away some years ago, I have gone out almost every day dressed totally enfemme! But with no wig and no makeup, just a guy in a skirt or dress!! And the only comments that I have gotten over several years is compliments on my outfits!! Granted, I live near a large city, but if your attitude is that you don't care what people think they will leave you alone in most areas of the country. I have been out male/enfemme in many different areas of the country in the lat few years and have never had any trouble. As I said earlier, attitude is everything!!
You bet! I see women wearing nice outfits, awesome heels, legs, jewelry, and what not, and think how they take some pride in their appearance. I'd love to wear my heels wherever and whenever, but not quite to that point yet. It is annoying that women wear pants, jeans, boyfriend shirts, and even tuxes, and nobody thinks much of it. If a guy wants to wear stiletto heels, then people think he's a weirdo. On the other hand, I did once get a compliment wearing a nice pair of pumps with dress pants as a guy, and another guy actually complimented me on my shoes.
Nope....never get jealous. I do take notes on how they put together a look including clothing and jewelry as well as observing makeup and hairstyles. Then I try to apply that to my own style. Why bother getting jealous. Id rather look, appreciate and learn. :)
Jealous? Maybe a little. Angry? Not at them, but maybe a little at society, and equal parts at myself for caring what society thinks. Ironically enough, I think I need to "grow a pair", so to speak...
First of all, that emotion is envy, not jealousy. Second, yes -- That is the definition of envy.
considering the women i work with get to where basically a the typical schoolgirl outfit and the one girl that doesn't has worn a short skirt, tights and boots everyday for the past two months. yes i am really jealous. but like others have said i have learned a lot from them without them even knowing. the worst part to me is not being able to compliment a girl on her shoes or something without coming off like a weirdo
Not really, but then again it really isn't my style.
Envy covers it pretty much for me.
There are a few women around here who just have a wonderfull sense of style.
I'm not to the point where I come up with the ideas for outfits like they do, but I certainly study them.
And they do serve as a trigger for my dressing sessions or pink fogs.
I often wonder if they were blessed with a set of skills like an eye for color and shape that lets them do it or if its learned and they study ect.
Most likely a combination of both.
I would echo the comments on the double standard but I dont see it going away anytime soon so dont dwell on it.
Definite envy. I do not envy being able to show "femininity" per se, but instead I envy being able to wear the sort of clothing I like to wear, and to appear how I wish.
This last week or two I've seen a lot of women dressed in a feminine manner and yes I have wished that I had the freedom to dress like that.
Miranda, I think this is a good observation. I love to watch women to try and learn.Quote:

I get feelings of great envy. I love seeing genetic girls show off their sense of style. I take mental notes of what I want to wear and what is age appropriate for a girl of my age.
Not really, I think it just looks nice. Women should dress the way they feel most comnfortable in any case.:)
Envious, a little. Upset about the social norms that let my daughter wear “boy shorts” panties but anything the least bit feminine on men isn’t okay, definitely.
To me when I see a woman dressed to the nines it is a great sight to behold even a little envy.
I will try to copy her style of dressing , shoes and hair.
I get my best ideas watching ladies walking through the malls.

No, jealousy isn't what I feel. I love seeing a well dressed woman and I get so angry and frustrated when I know I can't slip into an LBD and go out looking like anything but a dumpy olod man.
Vieja
No, not more than I would be if I saw a well-dressed guy! I say if you've got it, flaunt it, men and women alike :)
I don't get jealous. I look, admire and think how I would look in that dress or outfit. I love seeing women dressed to the nines who appreciate their femininity and carry themselves with confidence. I wish more women would dress up.
I think I get more jealous about how smooth their faces are without shaving.
I make a point of looking at women and how they are dressed. I sometimes walk behind them and try to imitate their walk. I get ideas from what they are wearing and how they are cordinating everything. I often go to womens clothing stores and try on cloths. The slaes girls are usually pretty honest about how the outfit looks. Just last week I went inot a straight bar and the waitress came over to take my order.
The first thing she said was I know you. I met you at #####bar (a gay bar). You had on the cutest outfit. Soooooo I guess I am doing something right.
I might get a little envious if I see a GG wearing an outfit combination that I've never considered before. But usually I get the most irritated when I see a GG who's not taking pride in her appearance. I don't mean she has to be dressed to the nines or anything like that, but at least wear jeans that fit, matching shoes and a top that doesn't have ketchup stains. That sort of grungy style is almost expected on some guys, but us girls, especially those who are F.A.B., have set the standard of looking our best even in pajamas and flip-flops.
Yes, after all of these years of crossdressing, I still struggle with these issues.
I'm always amazed when I listen to woman complain about having to wear pantyhose or high heels
when these are such passions for me!
I am mostly envious but it is combined with some jealousy. I know I am unhappy when my wife and I go to events, weddings for example, because I am not able to wear the things I would like to wear. Well it’s that plus she gets a new dress and I don’t.
For as long as I can remember, envious, very envious.:daydreaming:
Why should I get jealous? I do the same thing. I wear heels, hose and dresses in public, though most often I'm in slacks and a cute top.
I may be envious of a particular look or outfit that someone is wearing because I know it would not look that good on me, but jealous...never.
When I see women dressing feminine, I don't feel jealous. I go out of my way to compliment them. Hair, makeup, clothes, whatever they obviously wanted to stand out. Since I began cross dressing I have started to realize the amount of effort it takes to make oneself look good and I want them to know I appreciate their efforts.
Is the pope a catholic? Do bears s**t in the woods? Am I jealous that women can wear what they like when they like and society (including adverse male behaviour) has to adapt?
I totally support the right for anyone to wear what they want to in public, as long as they accept the resonsibility for the consequences. Those consequences are a bigger, societal, and political issue.
So am I jealous? is the pope a catholic?
I really and truly feel no envy. I appreciate a GG who looks good and will often tell her so if possible. I am also, often, dying to say something like "where did you find those shoes," or, "I have one just like it." But mainly, I appreciate anyone who adds to the beauty in the world and am glad to find another fellow traveler in the "dressing pretty" club. And, of course, I'm always studying the people I see to pick up my own fashion ideas.

In a way, I do get jelous. I see many young woman, 20's+ in some cute outfits, and wish I can find one for myself (outfit, tops, skirts, heals, and so on) I find some of my ideas that way. The other way is wandering around stores looking at what's new. My problem is, I see a pretty woman, I admire her beauty, but then I mostly notice and admire how she's dressed and wish one day I could have the freedom of dressing like that in public without judgment.
I admire them with a touch of envy. I do however regret the fact that many women seem to adopt an almost androgenous look (jeans and t-shirts). The only Time I'm jealous is when I see a nice woman who has obviously made a great effort before leaving the house, and not got ready in the dark, then I think wow I wish I could carry that off.
Jealous? No. I can wear stockings, heels, and dresses whenever I please, just like anyone else can.
AND I can pee standing up. :D
yes. although I think the body envy is worse...=]
