[SIZE="3"]My wife and I are sharing the master bathroom. I'm looking for a place to warm the moisturizer. My wife looks and me and say's, "haven't you become cushy?" I replied, "what, what are you talking about?" She looks at me and says, "just look at yourself". I said, "what, I'm wearing jeans, a Tee shirt, and a tattered old sweatshirt, and nothing says masculine like a tattered old sweatshirt". Her reply, "oh yea, and what do you have on under those jeans?" She got me. She saw me dress. I had on VS pink nylon panties. I said, "Something that makes me feel nice". Then, in jest, she quotes the movie, So Fine, and says, "you are not a man". We share a laugh and move on. Later, we're on our way to a Christmas party. She wore her black velvet pants and a shiny metalic silver blouse. She looked beautiful. I had her try on this Jones New York dress, but she just won't do the dress thing. I tried and I tried. She would just rather not wear a dress. I, on the other hand would like to wear a dress. So, we're on the way to the party and I'm not really sure how the conversation got to this point, but, she says to me, "you are losing your masculinity". I argued that I'm not. Since, outing myself to her three years now, nothing has really changed in my personality to suggest that, when not enfemme. In fact, if anything has changed, it's been for her better. I try to help her out more around the house. I try to listen better. I am more sensitive to her needs, etc.
Physically, I'm smooth shaven through the winter months, I paint my toenails in those same months, and keep my eyebrows from going out of control (not too bushy, not too fem). One day prior to this conversation, I shaved off a four day beard. She dislikes the beard.
So, what is it?
And, how's your balance of masculinity to femininity?
Does this dress indicate a loss of masculinity? [/SIZE]
