    Who are Macho Men

    I’m carious to find out if there are any other CDs out there who have a stereo typical “Macho” job. I work in a field that is stereo typically macho. A matter of a fact I’m a manager and have worked in this field for 20 years.
    I think it would be interesting to hear from those who are M to F CDs, like me.

    I don’t want to offend anyone but I would like to hear from those who are just cross-dressing, not those who are in the process of being transgender.

    So let’s hear from those construction workers, line men, firefighters, police officers and soldiers. You don’t have to say what you do if you don’t want to.

    I have worked in factories all my life, and every one of them has been domantly male so I have never been able to dress or even under dress as a result. The area in which I reside has way too many Red Necks who wouldn't or couldn't understand.

    I was a correctional officer in a state prison for 25 years. The last several years I wore panties under my uniform every day.
    It takes a real man to wear a dress.

    Cop

    I've dressed since I was 5-6, and I've been a cop for 27 years.

    Hi

    I do handyman work. That is everything in the construction trade from yard work to building houses to ac, electrical, plumbing, I do tile and hardwood, I have a cabinet shop and make the most beautiful cabinets. The list goes on and on. I have 5 master licenses and 3 journeyman licenses. I do not do roofing, concrete, or carpet, or fences.

    Still don't know what I want to do when I grow up......

    I work pretty much for women. As they are the ones that are at home and have talked there hubbies into the work.

    I do one job at a time and when it's done I call the next person on the list. I won't do it any other way. If the weather is bad I go fishing or hang out at home and play billiards. Of course I get dressed up when I am home. I have clothes that are everyday clothes. People respect my work and wait on me to finish what I am doing before they get there turn. I think people like that, as I do not have any other work but theirs at the time and I give them my full undivided attention until we are done. When I am out of work to do. I can call on just about any one I have done work for and get work. It is my complete focus on them that keep me busy. I do not do work that is sub par. It is perfect or I do it again or find out how.

    Is this what you were looking for.

    I am macho as I am the boss on the job site. Except for the customer. I pamper my customers and indulge them in all of there ideas. I love to be creative.

    I love to make ugly things into pretty things again.

    Some have tried to challenge me as to my authority on the job site and have lost badly. I have ran off more than one A$$$$$ in my life and will run many more off before I am done. I do not put up with any BS. It is straight forward or the highway.

    I do not do work for slumb lords as I have tried in the past and have got burnt 2 times and there will not be a third time. They all have pretty much the same attitude. So they can hire someone else every time. "I will not do work on rent houses."

    That being said I am the most loving and caring person out there. LOL.... Just a little softness to over ride all of the moacho grap.

    Jill my other side keeps me grounded. I don't have to be a meany very often but when one gets me to that point kady bar the door because you are going to catch it. I am strong and work out and in pretty good shape However I have the middle age curse that most of the men in the US have and that is a belly. I am trying really hard to get rid of that but it was a lot more fun to get it then it has been to get rid of it.LOL....

    I can go on and on and would love to if you ask.


    Hugs

    Jill

    Interesting question, Wendy.

    There AREN'T many jobs only men do, these days! With women working as police, fire(men), and in the military. I've seen women carpenters and working in construction trades!

    Even a woman handi(man). Altho she is a big, strong dyke. ( My ex's girlfriend).
    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    I Work On Big Iron!

    I'm a mainframe programmer, that's as macho as I get. I don't work on the little servers, and PCs everyone's so fond of! I guess if I did that would make me girly? LOL

    Nope, I'm a geek, sorry.

    As far as I know there is only one woman in my profession and she may not be in it any more. as far as I'm concerned, I love this profession and am glad there are just guys. It's the Macho man in me coming out!

    Well, work was long, hot, and dirty, and the off time was lots of drinking. I was told I had habits that made me look tough. Some of it was compensation, however. Had to step-up to the alpha males, and what not.

    Macho

    I taught HS Science for over 30 years and was not a coach. No group is more maucho than coaches. Very limited vocabulary and subjects. They thought that any man teaching and not a coach were misfits. I learned to stay away from them and got along much better with the women teachers. They would sometimes even ask my opinion about clothes. One even asked me if I had a bra for a backless dress.

    My whole life has been spent in typically male professions.
    I've turned wrenches, drove trucks, been a bouncer, and for the last seven years I was an wrecker operator working closely with several police districts. That is until last Friday when Iwas let go. Now I am currently rethinking things trying to come up with something new to do. Hopefully I can find anything in todays times, but none the less I am very happy with the way I have made my living in my life. Now I am just hopeing to find a way to allow the whole of me to be involved. Yeah I know, I don't ask for much!

    Thanks Jill! Actually, since I have been in for over 28 years, they don't trust me to load bombs anymore. Now I have a truck, a radio and a clipboard and supervise other macho men (and women) while they do the actual loading.

    People now tell me to stay in my truck since I might "break a nail" if I got out.

    I am a mathematician. My department is 10% female. About 25% of advanced degrees are awarded to women.
    The culture is very liberal but still highly masculine. No one I work with knows I cross dress.

    I work in a job that requires lots of hard manual labor but there are plenty of women who work along side me, but I want a job that fits more with the person that I am it’s just the money is too good and too hard to find a job in the field I want.
    I’m falling down the rabbit hole and loving the trip down.

    I work as a carpenter and love the winter when I can wear a bra to work and no one knows the difference under the other clothes. In the summer the sweat through my tshirt might show the other workers more than I want.
