You just might be a Cross Dresser when....

[Dalva]

Tuesday morning I was getting ready for work after spending a three day extended weekend almost entirely en femme. As I began to button up my drab men’s dress shirt I inadvertently reached for the buttons on the left side of the shirt instead of the right. I chuckled and said to myself, “Self, I guess you really are a crossdresser” Meaning of course that I have become over time so used to getting dressed that I am almost automatically taking the design of female clothes into account without a second thought.

I began to think of Jeff Foxworthy’s “You know you’re a Redneck when….”

So I am here wondering about all those things, big and small, that make us say:

“You know you’re a crossdresser when…”

Let’s have some fun and post those things that complete the sentence:

You Know You’re a Crossdresser When…”

[Charlotte1987]

If your wife gets mad at you because you look better in a little black dress ... you might be a crossdresser

lol... XoXo

Charlotte Davis

[Angie G]

You know your a crossdresser when you have more skirts then your wife.:hugs:
Angie

[AmyGaleRT]

If Woman Within sends you a credit card offer out of the blue...you might be a crossdresser. (*)

If, when you look at a pretty woman, your first thought is, "OMG where did she get those shoes?"...you might be a crossdresser.

(*) This happened to me! I now have a Woman Within credit card. The only thing I wish is that it had my femme name on it. ;)

- Amy

[Kalista Jameson]

If you forget what size shoes you wear in men's....you might be a crossdresser. =)

[Marcelle]

If you are in public and go to sweep your long hair back only to realize you don't have any . . . you just might be a cross dresser.

[Kalista Jameson]

If you get to the checkout at the hardware store and panic for a moment because you can't find your purse...you might be a crossdresser. =)

[Erica Marie]

You might be a crossdresser when you cross your legs everytime you sit down. You also may be a crossdresser if your underwear drawer is full of panties and you live alone. :)

[Dianne S]

If you see a woman and think "I'd kill to have a figure like that"... you might be a crossdresser.

[Jolene Robertson]

... when you no longer have socks in the sock drawer only Stockings, pantie hose, knee highs and trouser socks. Maybe just maybe you are a Cross Dresser.

... when most of the womens clothing magazines come to your house in your name not your wifes name.

[daviolin]

When it takes me hours to find my male clothes buried under mountains of girl clothes. Yea I guess I'm a crossdresser. Daviolin
P.S. Why would I want to find my male clothes? Oh yea, to keep the wife happy.

[samanthasolo]

When your wife is wearing your skirts and dresses to work!

[daviolin]

When your wife is wearing your skirts and dresses to work!
You hit the nail on the head with this one Samantha. My wife has snagged up so many of my tops. She always gets the nicest comments on what she is wearing from other ladies. She calls me the fashion queen. Daviolin

[StephanieCD21]

...if your fitted skirt requires you to "tuck".:D

[Sarah Beth]

You know your a crossdresser when----- You have more women's shoes than men's
You can't find your boxers or tighty whities because there are to many panties in the drawer.
You realize your second dresser drawer is now full of bras and not jeans.
You can't find those pj's your mother gave you because their buried under the nighties

(Amy, given what I just spent with them I might be getting a credit card form Woman Within too.)

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Dalva, When the girl at PAY-LESS SHOES Says this is the first time that she's ever seen you buy MEN'S shoes.


That actually happened to me, Once I was getting a couple pairs of shoes on BOGO a pair of black men's Loafers and
a pair of black 4" sling back pumps and that was what she said to me ,
I said one pair for day and another pair for night time , we both laughed I never did tell her which one was which.

[Princess Chantal]

if you go into the grocery store in guy mode, collect all the things on your shopping list and stand in line just to remember that you left your wallet in the purse which you used for the Girl's Night Out

[linda allen]

You know your a crossdresser when you have more skirts then your wife.:hugs:
Angie

Apparently then, I am a crossdresser. :heehee:

[kelly0]

You Know You’re a Crossdresser When….....you can look at a pair of women's slacks and know you will have to wear a thong today to avoid panty lines.....;-)

[Jocelyn Quivers]

-Your wife tells you that you need to get some newer panties and bras. She tells you "I've been wearing yours daily now and they are all worn out." "Go with the cotton multi packs only." "Do not splurge on the high end hi dollars stuff."
-You have to hide any new outfits you have from your wife, because you know she will "borrow" them, and wear them multiple times before you get a chance. Same with make up.
-Your wife almost forgets to voice her concern when you are dressed, and company is expected over. (Note when you are still somewhat closeted)
-When she automatically addresses you by your femme name when in girl mode, and make's no mention of your male name.
-When she begrudgingly admits your femme side is a better more affectionate/fun/lover than the male one, and no longer objects quite as much in the past.:):love::cheer:

[Monique53]

You automatically sweep your arm across your rear and down your legs, to straighten out your skirt and you're wearing pants. You are getting dressed for work and your wife says, "are those my panties?"

[Carla4Guage]

You know when..... You look at a new top at the mall and wonder what ear rings, etc. do I have that would look good with that?

[oliviall]

...when the local Soma calls out of nowhere to ask if there is anything you need or are looking for. I didn't even know they did that :P

[Chickhe]

I am a cross dresser when I bust a nail putting on my clothing!

[Tracii G]

When you have a drawer full of nail polish and a few other bottles here and there around the house.

[joank]

when you are putting together your shopping list with your wife and the make-up is for you, you might be a crossdresser.

[Ericaxd]

When you walk in heels like you've been doing it all your life, you might be a cross dresser.

[DeidraDee63]

When you clean out your travel bag and find extra panties and pantyhose in a side pocket.

[daviolin]

When you clean out your travel bag and find extra panties and pantyhose in a side pocket.
Oh so funny. I just cleaned out my man purse today. And yes, there was a pair of pantyhose in there. Ha Ha Daviolin

[Nicola]

When you go to a christmas party and you want to eat, drink and be Mary.

Nicola:)

[Ericaxd]

When you watch the runway show before the big award ceremonies because you want to know who the stars are wearing.

When you hate to miss "Say yes to the dress."

When you can reach behind your back, connect a hook-and-eye and then zip yourself up.

When you have a lipstick in your drab jeans

[rhonda]

when you come to this forum and feel good to be here

[robindee36]

You might be a crossdresser when.....you start giving advice to newbies and actually have some knowledge and experience to draw upon. Or at least you fake it well ;)

Hugs all around, Robin

[Ericaxd]

[carhill2mn]

When you can identify with nearly every posting here! Also, you think you are wasting time if you are not en femme!

[CynthiaD]

When you look in the mirror in male mode and think to yourself, "Who on earth is that?"

[Beverley Sims]

If you believe everything you see and read here. :)

[MssHyde]

You might be a crossdresser if you can give your wife make up tips, (you tell her how to achieve the smokey eye look etc.)

if the only clothes you have purchased in the last year are womans, you just might be a crossdresser.

[Littlebit]

You might be a crossdresser, if you can put on lipstick in the dark and it look perfect.

[Stephy]

You might be a crossdresser if you worry more that you will be "read" in drab mode than en femme. :)

[RenneB]

You might be a cross dresses if.........

when heading to the rest rooms you have to look down to see if you're presenting male or female to figure out which one to go into... (happens to me a lot)

Renne......

[Dalva]

when you come to this forum and feel good to be here


When you can identify with nearly every posting here! Also, you think you are wasting time if you are not en femme!

Both these^^ Rhonda, you hit the nail on the head.

These posts are fantastic...I'm dying for laughing so hard
:lol2:

Here's another: Your man shoes are in need of attention but you don't think twice about getting the heel repaired on your favourite pumps.

[AmyGaleRT]

You know your a crossdresser when----- You have more women's shoes than men's

OMG! Three or four pair's of men's shoes, and two big boxes of women's shoes, plus a few more pairs lying around. I'm so hopeless. :)


(Amy, given what I just spent with them I might be getting a credit card form Woman Within too.)

The funny thing is, they popped up the offer for me a number of times before I finally bit. ;) It's also good because when you use it you earn "Comfort Dollars" for future shopping discounts. It's a never-ending cycle!

One more:

If you come home from work in a bad mood and your SO says, "Go become [your femmeself] for awhile"...you might be a crossdresser. (Based on a true story!)

- Amy

[Milli Montanari]

...if you're happy to trawl eBay for your wife's favourite but now discontinued makeup.

[Krististeph]

... if you can run in high heels better than your marathon running wife can run in heels...

... if you meet Amy Sedaris and all you do is talk about her 50's dresses she wears so well...

... your wife has a run in her stockings, and you are the one who brought spares for her.

[JulieMcKie]

You buy a new top, shoes, and jewellery to go with a great skirt without batting an eye, but cringe at the thought of having to buy any new drab clothes.

[PretzelGirl]

...when you are in guy mode and someone walks by and smiles all you can think of is they must see make-up you missed or you still have those earrings on.

[Amanda M]

When you remember that 38C is not just your apartment number...

[Ressie]

If one thong is preferred more than two flip flops you might be...

If you tell your friends they must call before they come over you might be...

[Suzanne F]

If you think the best thing your wife ever said to you was," girls don't use soap on their face ."
Suzanne

[xd-tigger]

You know you're a crossdresser when you make a b-line to the skirt and dress racks in a charity shop :)

[SherriePall]

When it's house cleaning time and it takes you longer to clean up your lingerie drawer than your wife takes on her's.
When you get into your car by sitting down sideways and then turning your legs in.

[shayleetv]

You know your a crossdresser when you have more girl clothes than your wife. I have one fourth of our closet in our bedroom for my male side and a full closet in the spare bedroom plus an armoire full of Shaylee's clothes. My wife jokes about me not having enough time to wear all the clothes I have.

[melanieee]

you know you are a crossdresser when you see a GG friend one night and see her the following weekend in a crowd and she is wearing the same dress....

[ginger56]

[Kristyn Hill]

[stephNE]

If one is a cross dresser for meeting one of these, then I am 'REALLY A CROSSDRESSER' cause I identify with so many of them!
How about when your wife asks "will you help me with my makeup today?"

[Karan]

When you have to go to the mall to buy your wife clothes so she will stop borrowing yours.

[sarah-cd]

When you have twice as much lingerie as your wife (and wear it far more often).

[SherriePall]

Or, when your wife makes up a bag of used clothing to donate to some charity and you have to check it before it goes. Not to see if she is throwing away any of your males clothes, but to see if she is throwing away some of her's you could use or like.

[Persephone]

YMBAC when someone has to call your male name three times before you hear them but you swivel immediately when you hear your femme name.


You might be a crossdresser if you worry more that you will be "read" in drab mode than en femme. :)

Amen, sister, amen!

Hugs,
Persephone.

[Rileyaz]

You might be a crossdresser when you cross your legs everytime you sit down. You also may be a crossdresser if your underwear drawer is full of panties and you live alone. :)

Yep. That's me.

[Courtney . J]

if you just happen to be watching Miss America right now:D

[Rhonda Darling]

YMBACD when you give your spouse/SO bra fitting advice . . . . And she takes it . . . . And you're dead-on accurate!

Rhonda

[KarenS]

You might be a crossdresser when you cross your legs everytime you sit down. You also may be a crossdresser if your underwear drawer is full of panties and you live alone. :)

I'm married living with my wife and my drawer is full of panties anyway.


When you have twice as much lingerie as your wife (and wear it far more often).

Yup, I do.

YMBAC if you are more stable in high heals than your wife or girl friend.

I have been asked by a male who knows both of me how I learned to walk so easily in them.

[Chardonnay Merlot]

You know....when.

1. You can walk into a high-end lingerie shop in boy mode like you own the place.

2. When your female friends tell you, "I can't look at you in a skirt, BECAUSE YOU HAVE BETTER LEGS THAN I DO!"

3. Post-work happy hour for you involves a sexy cami, wine and chocolate on your couch.

4. When you divide your closets into "his" and "hers"...and you are single.

5. Your eyes light up when you see a blouse, skirt, jeans, etc, that you really want...and you are in boy mode.

[Billie Jean]

When you check out women (in guy mode) and think to yourself "that is such a lovely dress, i should get one like it!"I do this all the time but mostly their shoes. Billie Jean

[Druscilla Supernovae]

When you can walk in high heels better than some women.

When some of your outfits help your mother win a Halloween costume contest.

When your mother starts raiding your wardrobe.

[sara.s]

When you say you are looking for men's top/bottoms, but what you are actually looking for is tshirt/jeans.

[Amanda M]

I´m with Sherry Lynne on this in reverse. Getting out of the car today, I found myself swivelling on my but and keeping my knees together.

[julia marie]

When you are ready to get out of the car and you check to see if your boobs are even...You might be a crossdresser

[Sabrina69]

You carry around a bottle of clear nail polish.... How else would we stop a run in our pantyhose? lol

[SherriePall]

when you try to undo your wife's bra and have to close your eyes to visualize you're taking your's off and how the hooks are in the back.

[stephNE]

Getting out of the car today, I found myself swivelling on my but and keeping my knees together.
Actually, doctors say you should get into a car butt first. So many get in one leg first and this can cause back strain. So, here's one more good thing about being a crossdresser!

[heellover]

If your wife gets mad at you because you look better in a little black dress ... you might be a crossdresser

lol... XoXo

Charlotte Davis

I hear that sister!
My wife quite often says that I look better than her in various outfits!

[Dalva]

This happened today...I stopped off after work to do some shopping. When I got home I realised I had run out of hangers for the two new dresses and two new tops I bought. So I guess I'm a crossdresser because I now have four drab shirts hanging on door knobs so I could properly hang up my more important new purchases.

[PretzelGirl]

If you get a kick out of a thread called "you might be a crossdresser" and respond more than once. :D

[AmyGaleRT]

Related to yours, Dalva...

When you get a small gift card as a bonus at work...and you spend it all on dress hangers!

(Yes, I've done this. This was shortly after I came out to my fiancee, and was moving all my clothes back home. I needed a bunch more dress hangers, because I'd given her some of the ones I had to hang up her own dresses!)

- Amy

[terri7]

when you have the same style bra
in a few different colours..

[nikkim83]

I couldnt help this one but when your power seat memory in the SUV has two settings for preset one for heels and one for no heels.

[Christie Camelle]

If you walk into your local "It's Fashion" store and the girls working there say something like "We just got something new in and we all thought about how great it would look on you!" then... You might be a crossdresser. True story by the way :-D

[Karan]

When you are a guy and hear the word Mac and think of makeup and not the truck.

[MysticLady]

You actually know what Prada and Gucci are.

[NicoleScott]

You see a red car and think: Revlon, Certainly Red.

[drushin703]

when they know you by your first name at the resale store...

[Dana L]

So many of these are spot-on for me, but how about when your wife comes home from shopping with new outfits and you ask "are any of them for me?" or when your wife just starts buying bras and panties for you.

[Bootsiegalore]

When your wife is wearing your skirts and dresses to work!

that one applies here!

[Stephanie47]

You know someone knows you're a cross dresser when you get a Victoria Secret gift certificate in the mail in your male name for a free panty. My wife redeems them so I keep getting them. One of the unspoken side benefits for her in a Don't Ask, Don't Tell marriage!

[kellibra]

when you realize you have more pairs of ladies' shoes than (ugh) men's shoes and more pantyhose than socks...
when you walk in front of a shoe store and have that urge to go in try on a few...
when you wish your boobs were bigger and that you had to wear a bra...

[Oddlee]

When you reach to the middle of your back to take off a heart-rate monitor strap after working out at the club?

[Dalva]

When you use your compact mirror to apply Chapstick

[jack-sparrow]

You actually know what Prada and Gucci are.

I think I knew about prada and gucci etc well before I discovered a desire to CD...perhaps pop-culture in film and tv was responsible

[julia marie]

Here's one from last week:
If you're walking through a department store, looking lost, and a guy says, "The ladies room? Right down there?" And you reply, "No, looking for the exit," not realizing till later tht you used you manly voice. Oops...definitely a cross dresser.

[Tina_gm]

When your wife asks to use your nail polish remover....

[Marcelle]

When all the pretty and lacy panties on the drying line belong to you and not your wife.

[carolynmartin]

you're invited to a baseball game with your guy friends but you'd rather spend the time and money shopping for heels and makeup.

[flatlander_48]

You might be...

...when you loan a bra to your wife.
...when you have higher heels than your wife ever had.
...when your heels outnumber your guy shoes by at least 3:1.
...when while dressed a lesbian tells you that you have nice legs.
...if you install a very nice wooden closet kit and leave a hidden space in the corner for dresses, but say that it is for your bib overalls.
...when you check your backside in the mirror while wearing guy clothes.

[Robyn2006]

1. When you can blink in any situation and are able to see all from a woman's point of view.
2. When you use the linen closet for your male stuff.
3. When you awaken and have to think twice your gender.
4. When you completely know what a little lipstick could do for that beauty next to you in line at the market.

[Billie Jean]

...when while dressed a lesbian tells you that you have nice legs[/QUOTE]
I've had this happen and she said the rest of my outfit matched perfectly. Billie Jean

[Sabrina133]

YOu might be a crossdresser when .... you see a woman who cant walk in heels and your SO tells you that you walk better in those heels than she does

[Jamie Christopher]

This is certainly a fun thread to read, and knowing I share all of these experiences, I think I'll have to go shopping.....

Jamie

[ryenmatt]

if you wonder whether or not you can wear your guy clothes in public.

[CynthiaD]

When you see a beautiful woman all dressed up, and your first thought is "That lipstick is totally the wrong color for that outfit."

[ArleneRaquel]

Cynthia,
That is a great posting. I've found myself thinking/doing that dozens of time, more so the last 10 years of so.
