Ever want to tell a stranger?

[Alice_2014_B]

Just wondering if anyone else wanted to just tell a complete stranger, like at a bar for example,
"I dress up as a woman."

[Bobbi46]

some times but going down that route could just be a bit wild, I mean that person would not know you but what if afterwards he mentioned this fact to someone else describing what you looked like and that person actually knew you or knew of you. The cat would well and truly be out of the bag and could get back to work colleagues or your family/friends, would you want that?.

[CynthiaD]

Well, no. But more often than not, when I'm interacting with strangers, I'm already completely en femme, so I'd just be stating the obvious.

[tictac43]

The thought has definitely crossed my mind! Mainly at females though. Hoping that they would be curious to see or something haha!

[kimdl93]

Not ever. Ive been in a number of bars dressed as a woman, and unfortunately, the fact that I am GM was more apparent than I might wish. I didnt have to tell anyone the obvious.

But I guess the question is about telling strangers while in male mode...I certainly have no urge to do so. After all, they are strangers....why would I care to share this?

[Elli87]

I did that once at the Induction center right after I got drafted still manged to get the girls number though. I used to be allot more confident then, working on getting back to that place where I was bulletproof and bubling giddy and full of life.

[Robin414]

I totally did, I even started a thread, the response was so unbelievable (in a good way) I nearly fainted! Mind you given the circumstances and a lot of consideration it wasn't entirely unexpected though...but I still nearly fainted, OK! 😀

[Jenniferathome]

I'm pretty sure I do that EVERY SINGLE TIME I am out. It's kinda obvious.

In fact, I HAVE had that conversation with a couple in a bar one night. It was educational for them. Of course the woman who cuts my wig knows.

Do you mean telling someone when you re in guy mode?

[Nadya]

It's funny, I had an experience the other day while dressed in guy mood shopping for cosmetics. The saleswoman asked if I needed help finding something for someone when I was looking for the new Urban Decay Electric pallet. I just told her it was for me and she got really happy and excited trying to help me find things. Stranger don't really bother me. It's like "what do I have to lose."

[ShriekCassandra]

I avoid interacting with strangers like a plague when I'm out, so no.

In a word.....NO.

This me too. What is cool about this, is that you can get into some interesting conversations with GG's though. Actually it is fun interacting with strangers when you are out, but make sure they are the right ones.

I have told quite a few strangers I CD.
They were of course the SA's I come in contact with at stores like Macy's or ULTA.
I have no problem fessing up to strangers about my CDing.

[Teresa]

Alice,
Everytime you shop you're making that statement but I know what you mean ! It's probably best to bite your tongue it's not worth getting a backlash for it .

Funny thing last time I shopped, the young girl that served me was OK about me buying shoes but she didn't appear to want to watch me trying them on but she was OK about taking the money !

[Alice_2014_B]

Yes, there are more facets to this than I originally thought.
I still enjoy reading the comments on shopping.
My original concept was being in drab and telling someone you just met that you will most likely never see again.
Its someone that would not expect it.
Employees at a store selling anything for women are generally prepared for a guy shopping for girl things for himself, whether dressed up or not.

[Kate Simmons]

What makes you think that a "total stranger" would care, one way or the other?

[connie johnson]

I did. Twice.
The first time was at a drag show in Key a West. After the show my wife and I were talking to one of the drag queens and I said "I love your outfit, but I only dress at home. She said oh, we have to talk some more, but we never did. I was secretly hoping she would take me in the back to the wardrobe area and get me all dolled up. LOL.

The second time was at Macy's. I was looking for black microfiber panties. The SA approached and asked what was I looking for. I told her microfiber panties. She kept trying to steer me to stuff that wouldn't support the boys (you know what I mean) I finally told her they were for me. She didn't blink and then helped me find the ones I wanted.

[Claire Cook]

Yes I have (usually to GG's) and have never had a negative response.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Alice, I have shared some of my cell phone pictures with some SAs'.

[Krisi]

I have not had the urge to do that and I think a bar would be a really bad place to do it if you decide to.

For most of us, they have probably guessed it already if we've been around them for more than a minute or two.

[sometimes_miss]

Sure. the pink fog is thick, especially when I've had a few days off, dressed as a woman all the time, it seems like a great idea, as I convince myself that what I'm doing is perfectly normal. Then I remember that >99% of the world does NOT think that what I'm doing is normal at all, and I hesitate, and change my mind.

[Alice_2014_B]

For me it always just a weird thought, nothing I've seriously considered.

[BiancaEstrella]

I've had a bit of success doing this, but I can also usually vet people pretty well and if I feel any degree of hesitation, I pull up. Hasn't really failed me yet.

[Hell on Heels]

Hell-o Alice,
Nope! Never had the urge to bring a complete stranger into MY world.
I do sometimes find it easier to talk to a stranger (for a brief conversation), but to
tell them that I CD ? That's not happening. Although I can see the benefits of being open to
an SA, their assistance, and professional advice would be worth exposing myself, I just haven't
been in a situation where I needed that. Just talking to someone in a bar (not that I go to a lot of bars)( if ever)
would seem to me to be a bit reckless.
You just never know when the right person, at the right time, will come along.
Much Love,
Kristyn

Sometimes I would like to tell a stranger I think it would be a somewhat relief as none of my friends and family know I'm a Crossdresser
