[Paula G]

I'm in the 35-45 in the closet category. I'm happy to be in the closet, as this is a personal part of me that I don't feel like sharing with anyone else at this time.

[Jodi]

I'm 60+, and still going out and enjoying it.

[Kate Simmons]

I'm in the last group. Looks like "age before" beauty" means something after all. Ericka

[Sherrie]

I am 43, and do go out fairly frequently. At least once a month. Definitly not in the closet anymore. Well for I am to a certain degree. The ones I dont need to know dont know.

[trannie T]

Interesting that the largest group is the AARP's Angels. We could start our own "Red Hat Society." Maybe "Geezers in Gowns."

I like the "geezers in gowns" title. Has a nice ring to it and would probably make a neat TV(!) series. For commercials we could probably have "Grandpa Stroehmann" dressed as "Granny Stroehmann" advertising bread and stuff. The possibilities are endless. Karren could do the "news breaks". Anyone know a good producer? Ericka Kay

I'm 53, go out all the time, and I'm having the time of my life.

I will be 69 in a few weeks, and mostly in the closet at home (wifey knows I am shaved ~ she is too ~ ,wear panties 24/7, have my ears pierced and wear earrings 24/7, have my nails acrylic(ed), my feet pedicured and toenails painted pink, and have hair down past my shoulders). I do go out frequently dressed, mostly in the daytime. (Wifey works, I am retired.) I shop, mall walk, and eat out. I lean toward too short skirts and cute short shorts, but also have a conservative side. But I must admit that most times that my skirt reaches my knees it feels too long! I also have a sequined ankle length evening skirt that I wear on special occassions.

[Paula Rae]

I'm 65 and go out every day, fully dressed several times a week and minus the wig and breast forms on the days I don't shave,
normally every other day. I also wear shorts or capri pants on these non shave days.

[SIZE=3]I selected 'Out Closet - does go out in some fashion' which is the closest to my situation. I'm not technically 'out' as a crossdresser, but I do wear women's 'androdgenous' clothing in drab mode, always use femme deodarants and have a regular skincare routine which is semi obvious to people.

WOW, love the response. I am starting to see some trends in the polls and these bring up some more interesting questions, that I can put up as polls. Before I do, I would love to see the poll numbers a little higher. The higher the poll number, the easier it is to make decesions on what to poll on next.

[Tiffany Anne 9954]

This cd definatly is in the closet and does not go out.
I'am 49 and dress privatly

[Maryanntv]

Interesting poll. Looks like the older one is the more confident one becomes.Or could it be that men, in their midlife and after,produce less testosteron and become more feminine ? ( i.e. more pronounced breast devellopment, rounder-more female-body shape ) Surely something to think about.
I'm in the 45-55 , going out category and wish I was in the 20-30 AND going out category.

[Nigella]

Well I can only answer half of the poll, my age:

As old as my nose, but older than my teeth

The going out in some fashion is not me, I wear female cut clothing 24/7, so am out 24/7

[JoAnnDallas]

This has been a great poll response. 200 people responded. That is a good number for a small poll. Does show a great cross section too. I saved the poll graphics and will soon put up another along the same line of questions.

Thanks to all that voted.

[Bridget]

Wow, i'm a member of the smallest demographic... ^^;;

[ChristieS]

I'm 51 and just returning to dressing after a 16 year layoff. Whew!!! How did that happen? Anyway, I put down in the closet since I haven't been out...yet. I hope to in the not to distant future. I don't know if I can pull it off like when I was younger. And I did go out and hit the clubs en femme back then.

[LucyTwitch]

[Barb Valentine]

I'm 45 to 55 in closet
Unless you count taking the trash out at 1AM

[JoAnnDallas]

I posted a poll the other day, asking in Age group you were in and if you did not go out or do go out. I now have some data results that might interest some of you. you will notice that around Age 40 is where the two line meet and more start going out than staying in. This what I call the "Mature Age". The Age where we finially gain enough courage to make that first step out.

[Julie York]

It makes sense of why you only see the old crusties out in nightclubs.

[Julie Avery]

Well I don't go out en femme and I'm 52, but your theory makes sense to me. Came a point in life where I realized, "I want to crossdress, from the core of my being", and "time is getting short."

[pedebra]

I'm in the 55+ group and go out in some fashion but am far from being out of the closet.
