Looking at real women, and wanted what they are wearing

[Jeanettew]

Hi was just wondering as fairly new to crossdressing, do other CD's find themselves out and about and looking at women that go past you and thinking to yourself, I love those high heels or gee i would like to have that dress, i find myself doing it everyday, even went to the Netball sunday and looked at teh girls playing and thought how i would like to try one of those dresses.

If i go shopping with my wife and she looks at cloths i start to think to myself Like that, wish i could try that on, and even when my daughter comes home with a new dress i tell her how great it looks but think i woudl like to try that on, (she is a lot smaller than me).

Anyone else think the same.

[LookingGlass]

All the dang time. It's funny if I go down to the bar a friend of mine and I go to sometimes after taekwondo (a girl's gotta have some way to stay in shape, and I surely can't bend like in some of those yoga poses) and he will think I am scoping out one of the female bar patrons. Usually I am, but I've lost count of the number of times in the back of my head I've thought, "No, I just want those shoes."

[njcddresser]

I find now when I look at a woman I'm checking out her make up, hair and eye brows. Those are the things I'm most envious of

[Vala]

hel yeah, that happens. To be true it was part of me starting my cding. At first I though my brain was fried cause I almost couldn't look at woman anymore and think "wow she's hot". I have now accepted that my brain says "let me have that outfit" :)

[Samantha74]

I've been doing that practically my whole life lol, wish I woulda gave in to the urge a lot sooner to try

[Krististeph]

What I find myself doing sometimes is getting irritated at GGs- when they are sort of nicely dressed, but have some fashion fail of some kind. I don't mean a 'faux pas' like a slip showing, or a color clash, or suchlike- but when they have almost have a nice outfit going on, and ruin it with flipflops, or something else that indicates 'WTH'. It bugs me because they can wear such nice stuff out, with no effort, no negative comments, no fear, and they waste it.

It's not like I'm judging them, but it bugs me to see such a nice opportunity wasted.

One other thing I don't like, but it's not as big of a deal, is not being able to compliment a lady on some nice outfit, or a particularly cute or fashionable item she is wearing. I get to do this on occasion, but more often than not I refrain. In school it's easier, i can make a comment to a student like 'cool boots', and that's that. (Usually she'll wear said item more often to class, which i find interesting, since i'm rather too old to to be chased by most students, not that I'd allow anything to even begin to develop.)

I do feel sorry for some of my female students who come from work, and are dressed too nice for some of the courses i teach- they require hands-on work. But somehow everyone seems to survive. Usually do not get too many outfits worn in class that i'd like to try.

I often wonder what it would be like if i was a decade or two younger and had transitioned, or just dressed full time. Soem other profs i talk to dress quite nicely, including a stats teacher i took a class from once. That was a great class, she was rather engaging (mostly for the female students, since they tend not to have great experiences in math classes), and to top it off she was smart and a really good teacher overall!!

[prene]

Yes almost all the time.

But I also would not care what i was wearing if I just had their figure.

[emma-louise]

yep all the time even to a point where i have bought the same outfit i have seen a girl in x

[Kate Simmons]

Of course. That's only natural for a CDer I would say. :)

[manemami]

i love to watch female wearing fancy and colrfull clothes it is big jealous feeling

[Claire Cook]

Yes of course! GG's have had all of their lives to figure out what clothes work for them, and we have all of this catching up to do! Once I was in a grocery store and another woman was wearing the same Macy's top as me. We looked at each other, smiled and said "Well, we found the same sale in Macy's!"

[Danitgirl1]

ALL. THE. TIME.

I often catch myself staring at a CGW's (cis-gender women, I think that is a more 'respectful abbreviation than GG) clothes, shoes, jewelry, make up etc and realise I am probably making her very uncomfortable, so I try and be aware of how I am acting all the time.

But, yes, I do. Guilty as charged.
:brolleyes:

[Jaylyn]

Yes I do especially in heels and hose. I also love seeing those sexy red lips on some of the television commercials. Makes me wish I had those lips or a particular eye shadow when those sexy eye commercials are on. I love seeing those tall heels especially on the commercials.

[alice clair]

All the time, then I wonder where did she find that. I live in a college town and see all there is to see. I just don't see most of their clothes in any store I go to.

[pamela7]

no I don't look and want their clothing, but i do look and admire.

[Jorja]

Well Jeanette, it looks like you are normal! Whew, I was worried for you.;)

[DianneM]

While I was in the closet (yes pun intended) I was only admiring the women themselves.(Please no stones).
Now that I have come out I find that I am looking at nail and lipstick colours, hair styles, cloths and shoes...ohh the SHOES.
Dianne

[Brandy Mathews]

Oh yes, I do that all the time. And just last night I was out and saw a younger girl and her eyes. Felt like saying, can you do my eyes like that, lol. So beautiful. Even when I am in the boy mode, Bree is always there with me. And she always will be. I think that makes me a better person too.
Hugs,
Bree :)

[Rachael Leigh]

Yes I always look at women and how they are dressed and admire how well they look in what they are wearing. Ive also learned it has helped my wife in that she does ask me advice on how things she wears if it looks good.
I really enjoy helping her look her best. I also think by seeing what other ggs wear can help you blend if you go out in public

[Meg East]

All the time.

Sometimes, if I see a dress or skirt which I really like, or already have, I'll point it out to my wife.

[Amy Lynn3]

I'm with you on this. Not only do I check out the cloths, but how they fit, I look at the make up, jewelry and her all all around presentation. Many times I want to speak to them and say how much I envy them, but I know I need to just envy them to myself.:straightface:

[joank]

Probably almost all of us have similar thoughts.

[Ceera]

Oh, definitely. I check out their shoes, their clothes, their makeup, and even how they style their hair. Sometimes it's difficult not to comment to them that I think their shoes are adorable, or to refrain from asking where they got that great pair of boots or that beautiful blouse.

It's also fun when I see a GG wearing something I already own! I've seen several girls with boots that I own a pair of.

[JeanetteX]

Oh yeah...one of my favorite things is to go to the city center, sit down with a cup of coffee, and watch them go by. I specifically take a look at women with heels, stockings/hose and a skirt. Then I usually rush home and dress!

[CONSUELO]

Yes I always look and admire good grooming and a careful choice of clothes. I enjoy films from the 1950's and 1960's when actresses dressed so well and so stylishly. Sadly the dress sense and style of both men and women has declined over the last decades, so when out in public my eyes are easily drawn to those few who take great care over dressing and grooming.

[Bria]

My problem is that I see a really nice outfit and then have to say, Yes but its not age appropriate! Then back to looking at the women that are closer to my age, Damn!

Hugs, Bria

What you wrote is the definition of judgment. So yes, you are judging women.

[Nadine Spirit]

It bugs me because they can wear such nice stuff out, with no effort, no negative comments, no fear, and they waste it.



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA That is funny! Oh, and insulting. Especially the no effort part. It is the 'grass is always greener' argument.

I read your statement to my wife, and she said it was rude, and uttered an expletive statement.

[charlenesomeone]

I used to admire the clothes, shoes etc. Now I find I admire the curves and how can I look like that, regardless of the clothes.

[Erika Lyne]

Yes, all the time. Checking out a dress, heels, make up and nails ...everything really. Yes, I am being a bit judgemental but it all seems squandered when you see a beautiful woman in frumpy clothes but, what would they do to us if they saw most of us dressed? Be judgmental perhaps?

Lately, I've just thrown in the towel as to withholding the compliments. I have approached women dressed nice or with a particularly beatiful item and started a conversation with a compliment. I watched and listened to what women say to eachother and mimicked it, added a little personal flare and I've noticed that many women respond in a manner that they seem to know that I am not trying to pick them up. After all, I am not. Many times these conversations are in close but transient quarters, ie: elevator, bus, plane, standing in line at a store. I would say something like, "This is going to seem a bit awkward coming from a guy, because it is for me to say but, your insert fashion item here is just so beautiful on you."

I do have to add my favorite "I love your..." story. I was at Macy's shopping with /for my wife. She went to another store to get something for me and took her wallet. I had her black leather Coach backpack/purse. While I was in line to checkout the woman in front of me just got off her cell phone, frazzled. I gave her a minute to collect herself and said that I didn't mean to eavesdrop but it was kind of hard to hear that she wasn't having the best day. I got an eye roll, as I had expected but before she totally turned, I then said,"I hope this will cheer you up a little. I just love your Coach (purse) I didn't know they made them in PURPLE?!?! That's my favorite color! Too bad it won't go as well with my (black leather) jacket as my Coach." I then spun the backpack off my shoulder. She lit up and the next 15 min in a slow line at a busy Macy's went by so fast just chatting away.

Judgemental? Yes, just a bit. Hostile about it? Not really, just a bit jealous that a woman can wear what she wants and many times attire is chosen when something more feminine is what I would have worn. Then again, if we were all born female and knew no better, we'd be dressing the same way as these women. So, judgemental? Yes, just a bit. Jealous? Oh, yes.

[Stephanie47]

All the time. And, also desiring what some women on the television (news and weather) may be wearing. With just so many major department stores in the area, I may peruse the on-line offering at Sears, Macy's, JC Penny, etc to locate the dress.

[Beverley Sims]

I do that frequently.
It is not unusual.

[Alvie]

All the time as well. Especially make-up.. My nemesis to date.. lol I am constantly checking out clothes/undergarments in the womens section. I might add that I just shake my head whenever I see a pretty woman without make-up even lipstick..

[Kirsty Louise]

I love looking at women, their clothes their makeup and the smell of gorgeous perfume, there shape hair and look, most women that I know do as well

Kirsty x

["Gabriela"]

It has happened to me that I'm looking at a girls outfit and my GF says "Why are you looking at that woman?!" and I answer "Don't worry, it's not what you think". Ha!
Anyway, once you go out en femme and you notice people's looks, you know how girls feel... it may get quite uncomfortable sometimes!

[CherylFlint]

I check-out every woman I look at, from hair to shoes, and think if that would work for me.
Advice when you go out: BLEND.
Buy as much as you can at thrift shops.

[Barbara Black]

Welcome Jeanette: I've gotten to the point where I'll compliment a woman rather than missing the opportunity of making her day better. I find that turning away rather quickly (without being rude), eliminates the idea that I am trying to pick her up or something similar.
When I was young I always looked hard at the women of my age. I was looking at them and their outfits as a singular object. I was appreciating, but not realizing how often I was admiring her clothing separately from the woman, and inevitable, realized that I was much more interested in the clothing, not that the combination of woman and clothes didn't stimulate me sexually as well.

[savannaxdrsser]

I do also, look at all aspects and think of how i might look in that particular outfit, i do admire the curves, certainly adds to whatever they may be wearing.

[Cheryl T]

Of course I do.
I've done it all my life. I was so afraid to go shopping with my wife before I came out to her because I was afraid she would notice me having too much interest in the clothes on the racks let alone the women passing by. Watching other women is the best way to get a sense of what might look good on my. I particularly pay attention to women who are in my age group and those that have a similar shape.
Of course there are times when I see someone go by and think, "If only ..."

[justmetoo]

Sure. All the time.
I remember once when I was a kid and there was a very attractive woman at some event. I don't recall the details, but my mom remarked that I noticed what the woman was wearing while my brother noticed the woman and not what she was wearing.

[AmyVanessa]

Seems I've been that way since I was a kid. I see a pretty gal walking by, with heels,nylons and a cute outfit, I just so wish I could wear that.
Also if I could see her bra through her shirt, I'd wish I could dress like that too

[Greenie]

as a gg, I do look at other gg's outfits on ocassion and think that "-------" is cool. I wonder where she bought that. Most commonly for me it is shoes. I love shoes of all kinds. Heels, cool sneakers, penny loafers. Lol. If it goes on a foot, most times I like it. ;)

[Jaymees22]

Of course I do this too. In fact today I finally put together an outfit I saw a girl wearing at Starbucks about 6 months ago and I've been thinking about it that long too. Well it's a close imitation I didn't have the exact same skirt but close enough. She was wearing a green top with a scoop neckline a short black flared skirt and black opaque tights, my skirt is a tiered skirt. She was much younger than me and a lot curvier but I think I look as cute as I can with in reason. Hugs Jaymee

[Henriette7]

Yes sure totally all the time. Specially if they are well dressed with heels and hose. Nothing is better than walking around and get inspired by nice looking lady's. :-)

Hugs
Henriette

[Dana44]

I always look at a beautiful women. They way they dress and the clothes they wear. I was in a store the other day and saw a fully dressed female, she was pretty and it looked like she was picking something up to go to a party or something. It was so nice to see a women like that. I know we try to dress feminine and be that way. Yet when you see a pretty well dressed female, it is hard to compete with the way she moves and goes about her business.

[larry]

Sure do.. Funny how it all sort of comes at the same time. The wish I could have that outfit and look that nice in it. At the thoughts of wanting that body (double meaning) hehe
When I go into "LuluLemon" I lose my breathe all the time..

[femmale]

So its not only me who does this then! I often catch sight of female clothes in shops or worn by women and think if only I could try or buy that item of clothing. For many years Ive been quite envious of the range of female clothing compared to what is available for males. Trousers are a prime example with lovely fabrics and styles e.g wideleg or bootcut in say a pale grey with light pink pinstripes.

[Alice_2014_B]

I feel exactly the same, especially with high heels, dresses, and skirts.
:)

[taralynne]

Sometimes I look at what a woman is wearing and think to myself that I could wear it better
