    Oh, here I thought this was just a set up to a joke. "Why do men cross dress?" "To get to the softer side?"

    For so many reasons, lol. Mainly to feel like a comfortable woman.

    That's a real nice little summary there, I think it touches on most of the possible reasons and combinations thereof.

    The comments underneath are interesting as well.
    For years I hoped I was just a CDer but now I realize I am transgender and that's alright.

    Men crossdress for as many reasons as why women dress. I can't speak for others but I crossdress because I love womens clothes and I love the feminine look and I love the silky feel of the clothes and I love all the pretty colors and designs and I love the panties and the pantyhose and the bras and the bodybriefers and the swimsuits and the bikinis. I love the dresses and skirts and styles and the choices. I love the little black dress and I love the red dress and I love the pink dress and I love the floral print sundress and I love the feminine shape and I just love the feel of being a girl or a women and escaping the male world. I just feel so happy when I'm in a dress and womens lingerie. It is the most incredible feeling I ever had wearing clothes. I never ever got excited wearing a suit and tie but put me in a sexy dress and I am flying high in a crossdressers world! That is why I crossdress because it makes me feel fantastic!

    why do men cross dress?

    I wonder how many of us do it because we are physically feminine. It would be interesting to hear from someone who, like me, developed breasts at puberty and failed to develop down below normally. Everything is great when dressed as a girl but it is difficult to have sex satisfactorily. Any ideas?

    the pleasure of it all

    When I was able to crossdress regularly many moons ago a big part of the thrill was a sexual thing of course..... then the guilt hit me and back to drab clothes.

    However, then I found myself staying dressed longer and relishing in the feel of the clothes against my skin, after the sexual thing was over. I was never one to just don a pair of panties and bra. That did nothing for me. I needed to put on the entire outfit, makeup, wig, etc, to enjoy the moment.

    One thing though I have no desire to be a woman...... just to dress like one and look as best as I possibly could.

    Thanks for listening.......................

    ps. I could never pass

    I really must be the weirdo on this site because I've seen this sentiment a couple of times on here, and I have to admit, I love a suit and tie! Maybe it's because I've grown up post Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction and stuff so when when I get kind of a "bad@$$" charge from it. I guess I also like moving along the spectrum, just because I do things that aren't traditionally masculine doesn't mean I don't like things that are. Mad Men is a great show for me because I find myself wanting to be dressed like all the characters. (aside from all the other reasons it's great.)

    Actually, I do, too. But if God had taken me aside and shown me my choices just before birth, I'd have chosen the pretty dresses over the suits and ties. I've often wondered why I crossdress. And time and time again I come back to the same answer: I absolutely love wearing dresses and all the stuff that goes with them. If life had been fair, I'd have been born female, and all this crossdressing would be unnecessary.

    Any money found in the laundry is MINE!

    For me it just feels right, I feel so much more relaxed when I'm dressed.

    I crossdress because I love the feel, the color, the pattern, the shape, the style of women clothing.
    I don't like men's clothing at all. If it is possible, I would be in dress 24/7.

    Well said emmi

    I wonder though why society makes so much of men wearing women's clothes (even giving it names such as transvestite and cross dressing) and yet makes nothing of women wearing men's clothes.

    Explains how, but not why all that happens.
