Angela, I loved it, ain’t it the truth, sometimes you can never tell
Crissy
OMG! Love it Angela! It's true, it's true! Thank you
Thinking back to the pre-covid days when we used to go out. Friday night was our regular night. One of the local clubs had a DRAG show and DJ following.
I always wore a dress, full makeup, etc. My wife would be in jeans and a casual top, little to no makeup.
I have taken the pressure off of her to always be the pretty one and she appreciates it. More than once she has said "If you want to wear all that girly stuff you go right ahead.".
My wife looks better, but she is jealous of my legs.
what with all the make-up on I still can NOT out shine either of my wives, had two, one after the other. I just don't glam up that well, nor would I like to surpass my first wife, who only wore some lipstick, she was a natural beauty and I loved having her on my arm.
Still wish I could.

Remember this:
You do not have to be a man to love a woman, or be a woman to love women's clothes on her or yourself.

Love the idea, but no chance...
This reminds me of how I dressed when my SO and I first started our relationship, and our only crossdressed outings at the time were to LGBTQ nightclubs. We eventually branched out to daytime outings to restaurants, art galleries, shopping, etc, but at first it was only to places where they had drag shows. Anyway, I usually wore plain black slacks, casual black low heeled ankle boots, and dark long-sleeved tops. No jewelry. I actually dressed down because I didn't want to show up my SO - I didn't want my SO to look masculine next to me, if I was all dressed up in nightclub wear. I was just so self-conscious about having people stare and honestly I didn't want to attract attention to us by dressing super sexy.
But then I did a 180? turn. I started to feel jealous of all the young, sexy GGs at the nightclubs that my SO kept staring at, and so I began to dress sexy to compete with THEM! And it worked! lol. It seems like another lifetime ago. But I hit bottom with that too. Now I just dress like myself, without thinking about how my appearance will or will not affect my SO. If we go to an event that requires wearing a dress, I wear a dress. Otherwise I dress casually. Our nightclub days are over with.
But getting back to the thread topic - CDers who say they look better than their wives. This is just such a GUY attitude and such a guy thing to say!!
Men are better socialized to self-promote than are women. We, (at least in my generation), were taught to not be immodest and so it is bad form for us to say out loud that we think we are prettier, or sexier (or smarter, or nicer) than another woman. It simply is a super-tacky thing to say. So when I read crossdressers brag about how much sexier, or prettier, or more feminine they are than their wives, I can't help but think they are decidedly behaving like men and decidedly not being feminine.

Reine ,
As usual you give us a great perspective from a GGs angle , many thanks for that .
To a point what we wear is based on our confidence , my daughter tends to dress down a little as she lacks confidence , when I go out with her I try to dress with her in mind , I may attract some attention because some might have read me but otherwise I don't want to obviously draw attention to us .
I asked a GG friend very tactfully if I embarrass her her when we're out , she was quite annoyed with me for asking such a question , she told me straight she wouldn't be going out with me if there was a problem and to stop putting myself down .
I'm partly with Roberta on women commenting on how other women look , I've heard so many phone calls from my wife in the past to know what women think of others on occasions .
Neither gender usually say outright they are prettier as a woman or more handsome as a man it's more to do with body language .
I think you've watched too many movies that portray negative GG stereotypes?
I have literally had hundreds of female friends over my lifetime in all the different places I have lived. And I'm telling you that the vast majority are not "catty". It really is considered tacky for a GG to say out loud that she thinks herself prettier or sexier than a GG friend. We support our friends, we don't inflate ourselves at their expense.
Methinks this is yet another example of a CD thinking the CD knows more about GGs than a GG? And also another example of a CD who has a very poor general opinion of GGs.
... keeping in mind, this thread is about CDers comparing themselves to someone they supposedly love; their wives. Not some random actress they see in the media.

I guess I hang out with a bunch of obnoxious GG's because I have heard the ladies in Document Control literally destroy one of the ladies from "upstairs" that came into the department after she left.
Maybe you are not listening or the GG's don't accept you as one of them so they are still playing the "fragile fem" when you're around.

Did you read all of my post? We are talking about husbands' attitudes about their wives here, wives they supposedly love - and not some random person they work with that they don't know. Women support their friends; they don't build themselves up by putting their friends down. You don't know women well if you think otherwise.
Reine
Yes and yes. Whats in it for me?,,, wish I could go back 30 years, things would be different for me.
I guess Reine is the only expert on women and I was just making up stories.
I am done with this thread.
Bragging is not feminine, but pouting is, so 1 point for femininity Roberta (and now my wife will kill me. Slowly.)
Suzy, do you mean yes, you are (or feel) prettier, and yes it upsets your wife? What would be different 30 years back?

I need a wife first haha
Sorry, trying to clear the air a bit Obviously didn't work.
I have to agree with Reine on this, - its a childish thing to do to proclaim you are prettier or sexier .
I am glad to see so many here though that know better .
If you think you are prettier than your wife what does that say about you ?? More than you think ....

Ok, i have to admit, I did not read all the earlier posts.
Still I want to add my 2 cents........
First, not a good thought to put down your life companion..... Else you end up doing life SOLO.
Second..... From what I gather on the net, child porn is a equal opportunity event.
What I am suggesting, to say some one is attractive, is a statement open to interpretation.
If it is a 19 year old boy saying it, then most likely he is talking about a +-19 year old girl....
If it is a 30+ year old pidifile saying it, then it could be a boy or a girl he is talking about....
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. STILL to declare one is more desirable / attractive than one's companion.
IMO is a sure fire way to head down the path to not having a companion..................
IMO Ya can take most any human, put enough paint and suggestive clothing on them to give the appearance of sensuality.
Yet after a shower, and a few days to sober up, all the paint and clothing can't turn a pig into a princess.
Hopefully, we are all in loving relationships, and regard our partners as being some one we wish to be with 'down the road'....
I would be a fool to suggest my SO (Significant Other) was less attractive than me.
I love my Girl Friend, and would never suggest that I am 'prettier' than her.
I will state as a fact, that I do wear items of clothing that she has long ago lost interest in.
As in thongs, pantyhose, stockings heels etc etc etc.....
As we all age, we have to grasp that prancing about on 4" / 5" / 6" heels might not be a safe thing....
AND that other items of clothing deemed as provocative in our youth can me a pain in the $rear as we age.
Summation: If You have a SO, put them on a pedestal and hopefully you will make it down the road to what ever life holds for you.
Not a keen thought to put them down, although that is one of my downfalls :-(
Ronny, thanks for your answer about SOs, however I don't understand what the passage about pedophiles has to do with the subject?
This thread has gone off the rail.
If you can't support the OP in their thread and keep your answer on topic, then don't comment.
