Always nice.
Always nice.
Depends. Do you mean a man in a dress with "obviously" man features like a mustache or beard? If so, then no. I don't want to use the word yuk, though. A little effort put forth is nice.
that's the way I roll. as of yet, i have not had a bad experience going out in public as a "man in a dress".
A lot of women look yuk too. Since I joined this forum, my judgment seems to have improved. I don't see anyone as below 6. I'm a 6 too, hoping to be a 7 before long.
T-shirt says: "Hi, I Crossdress!"
I don't understand why it's a problem. Who we are, and what we are turned on or turned off by, are two entirely separate things. I'm an old bald overweight guy in a dress and a cheap wig, and I would not find myself sexually attractive, however I do find young slim women with long hair (even if it's dyed bizarre colors) tremendously hot, no matter what they're wearing, or even when wearing nothing at all.
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
There are a few people who pull it off quite well in very different ways:

Wish I had both the look and guts to pull this off.
Not always that nice
Me too. I am totally comfortable with the first one (laweekly). She looks femme. But the minute I looked at the shiny silvery dress of SO I thought: "OMG, I so want that dress. Love the slinky look."
As for 'hisblackdress' - while I admire his guts I am still uncomfortable with it. But what he choses to wear is really none of my concern. More power to him. Perhaps, one of these days.....
Thanks everyone for your input. I am aware that 76+ years of social conditioning has left its imprint. Fortunately, it is not too late for this old dog to learn new tricks, or I would not be participating in this forum.
