Can't figure out the teasing !

[Teresa]

On UK TV we have a program called " FLOG IT ", ( no it's not about bondage and S/M .) where the public bring items to be valued and then auctioned off. A lady brought in a 60s style swimsuit, the expert asked why she wanted to sell it and she replied that it didn't fit her but inferred it might fit him and giggled. I have never seen an expert not want to examine the an item before but eventually he did find a makers name and then queried the size ( 32-33), he suggested it looked small but the owner had great delight in telling him how it would stretch over a woman's body to show her curves and how sexy it would look.
What I can't understand is when GGs say they don't like CDing why do they have to tease and taunt a man into wearing women's clothes ?
I have to admit I can't get the swimsuit off my mind, because as a 9 year old one very similar locked me into my Cding , so I can relate to her comments about wearing one !

Hi Teresa, If you ever get people figured out , Please let the rest of us know.
I think that it's just human nature .

Hi Teresa,

I don't personally think the lady was being facetious or mocking CDing. I find that for some reason subtle jests like these are socially accepted because nobody really believes they are offending anyone. A friend of mine (does not know about Isha) made a comment one time about how his son was having some "behavioral issues" and how he hoped he didn't wind up "wearing mommy's clothing". Now he was not mocking CDers IMO merely making a jest at the expense of a silent majority. Now I suppose I could have stood up and said "Whoa . . . hang on a minute . . . " But I did not sense malice in his words only the words of the non-educated. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't make the comment right but given the circumstances, I was willing to cut him some slack. Now if we were out and we saw a CDer and he began mocking him/her openly then yes, I would have cause to speak up :Angry3: . . . but I believe that is the difference. One is education and one is ignorance (not mean ignorance, just a lack of understanding). :)

Hugs

Don't take it personally it's just how some people are, the question could of gone either way really, I would of taken it as she meant fit him as in he was probably a lot skinnier than her and would look far better in it that she ever would, perhaps it's jealously who knows.

LOL either that of he's a well known crossdresser and she knows about

Sometimes people use teasing to let you know they're OK with something. They are saying that they're not shocked or stunned about it. As long as the remarks aren't cruel or unkind, I wouldn't read too much into it.

I find it amussing that something similar happens to this where I work. I work in a pretty much all guy industry, an occational woman, but about 99% guys. Anyway every once in a while someone will make a comment about someone else about wearing high heels, or getting their panties in a knot, or time to ditch the dress and get thier pants back on, (man up and get to work!). I sit in the back ground and wonder if I am the only one of the bunch with a bra and panties, and a pair of heels tucked away in my suitcase, wishing I was wearing them right now!

I have changed the meaning of the question and rewritten the thread, I realised in the replies so far that I have been misunderstood, sorry.

Teresa,

Your quote,

"What I can't understand is when GGs say they don't like CDing why do they have to tease and taunt a man into wearing women's clothes ?"


I agree with you here, this happens quite often. Why?

Have they never seen a man dressed up?

[Teresa]

Bev , GGs do seem to have a fascination and attraction to CDing/drag in others but struggle with it on their doorstep, sometimes I think they need to be to come out and be honest about the fact that a part of them does like it.

I suspect it is because it is one thing when it is an amusing abstract idea, but another when your husband is in a nightie is next to you in bed (and it hits close to home.)

I believe it to be a hostile taunt masked by "humor" and that she found something less than "manly" about his person. Probably unused to being treated politely by a male.
