Going Out is Becoming Boring, I Think.

[jjjjohanne]

I had an all day outing. I was in a skirt and blouse in the general public. I present male when I crossdress. I tried to set up some volunteering opportunities, but I started too late and nothing materialized. So, I was in a town far from home with nothing scheduled to do. I used to be content to be in public and be around people while dressed. That was what I craved. Now, it is becoming different. I got to the mall and I decided that I did not want anything from there. I almost did not go in. I decided to go shop for slacks in one store. I shopped briefly, I did not seek an SA, I didn't find anything and then I left.

I still had that "Just a little bit more" urge to keep going to new places and to keep on being out, but most places did not interest me. This is different. I just want to go somewhere and do something productive/constructive. Work/volunteer, etc. I don't want to roam around like I used to be satisfied with doing.

Am I the only one who has experienced this?

If you're seeking a thrill, there's always skydiving.

I get that way sometimes.
I try to have a plan when I go out in full femme mode tho'.
Mall or general shopping like the grocery sometimes or just for a drive in the country.
Most days I'm a mix of both genders.

I'm still totally enjoying the limited times I can go out. I do normally have some goals/plan set for the day plus a contingency if the weather isn't helpful. Is that any different though to when we are in male mode?

Most times I have a great time. I doubt that there is a time ahead when dressing won't provide personal satisfaction and fulfilment. I'm totally either male or female and never a hybrid when I go out.

I suspect that your disappointment was just a result of the outcome not the dressing itself.

I can totally relate to that. At first, the thrill was just getting out and roaming around, testing the waters, passing, etc. I now feel the way you describe. I'd like to do something more productive with my time. Haven't found it yet, though.

Has the thrill going out as a man in women's clothing diminished, or are you bored for the lack of something interesting to do?

[ArleneRaquel]

I'm bored when I need to dress drab....it's such a boring way to live.

The first few times I was excited just to be out dressed. Now I'm more interested in the things we do while we are out. The clothes are fun, but they are just another avenue of socialization.

After all, what GG just thinks "Wow, I can go in a dress!!"? No, they think first of what they will do, with whom they will do it, and finally about what they will wear.

Boy(or girl..) I thought it was just me. I have lots of opportunities to go out dressed and my most adventurous so far bi-weekly is to pose as a secretary office girl and get in line in the company caferteria in a fortune 500 corporate office building in heart of downtown in my city .Its open to the public, and sitting there amongtst tables full of other office girls by the dozens is a real kick. I dress appropiately and pass as one of them blending in.
As for boring, yes I have to have a list of errands or jobs to due out enfemme. My wife gives me a grocery shopping list or nearby errands, but after a couple of days visiting my favorite female stores and chatting with the SA's and trying on shoes at Payless or DWS, the next time out the " thirill is gone" and I find myself wondering like a Jew in the desert with Moses for 40 years.Im not gonna buy any more clothes or shoes when I don't need them , simply because they are there and its a thrill to get rung up by the SA.s Been there, done tht for years
Apathy. I get ya.

The answer is actually quite simple. You are bored because you are not interacting with friends.

I've been there and done that. In my early days of going out & about, I was utterly alone. Those were the days of landlines without cell phones or email to help establish contacts and cultivate friendships. I'd be darned if I was going to give out my home phone number!!! Then following a period of time when I chose not to go out for a while, I decided to see the world again through a woman's eyes and like before, I was alone...and absolutely bored. But the difference this time was that when the opportunity came to make friends, technology made it possible to keep in touch and make plans as friends do. As a result, this side of my life is rich with some of the most wonderful friendships imaginable, not to mention fulfillment on a level that you simply cannot achieve alone.

That I agree with.

When I go out as female, I want to be female, it is me.....I want nothing to do with being male.

You gotta make some friends that do what you do want what you want ,,,You will be content then ,,, You gave up all your ol friends because of nothing in common ,,Make new ones go out an find you a CD or TG Friend ,,Than you will have lots to talk about !!

[Launa]

Hey I can totally relate I've just started going out exploring my female side. I have had this same thing happen to me quite a bit. I'm just starting to make TG friends but because I don't know these friends outside the private CD circle I find it sometimes hard to hook up with them. Its easy online but harder in real life. However I will stay this course though and keep going out even if it has to be solo and I will try to help the next TG person I meet come out of the closet. I'm going out to an event this Friday by myself. Who knows who I might meet.

Try to stay positive it will get better!

Perhaps a RLT is what many of us need to see if we would really want to do this all the time. Not all archeologists have adventures like Indiana Jones.:)
