How far does your "other side" go?

[AnotherCuteTGirl]

I've always wondered this about other CD's. Like when I dress I don't really consider myself a guy in drag. Of course I have my girl alter ego, Genesis (Gen). As Gen I have social networks like kik, snapchat, etc. Even have friends (mostly guys) who are only Gens friends since of course I don't want them apart of my other life. Only thing I know I probably won't try with Gen is a relationship. I might with another "girl" or GG but don't think I'm willing to commit to only men. I experimented when I was younger, I'm the type of person who says you can't dislike something you haven't tried. I can stand guys and "being the girl" but it just isn't for me. What can I say I love GG's :daydreaming:
Anyways I think that's enough about me guess if you'd like to know more you can ask me :)
Back to the question, how much of a life does your girly side have? :eek:

[Alice Torn]

Not very much, as i only dress about twice or three times a month now, due to many other issues in my life, at 60. I would like to actually dance with gentlemen but part of me is blue collar , dirt and grease sensitive guy. I am torn. So call my self Alice Torn. I would like to meet UNMARRIED guys, and paly some, but no penertation. That is just one part of me. Would also still like to find a right GG.

[Rachelakld]

A few hours a week for shopping, movies, brunch etc

[NicoleScott]

Just pics and a feminine name for an online identity. Otherwise, I'm a guy who likes to transform.

[Kristy 56]

Not much I'm afraid.:sad: When I used to go out dressed,it was social with the GGs at the salon,and the regular SAs that knew me. They'd consider me one of the girls.:) I always wished I could've found a GG to hang around with and do girly things,and go on girls night out adventures. :daydreaming:If I was really fantasizing I would've liked for Kristy to meet a supportive couple and see what happens. But just being with a group of GGs is the ultimate life I'd wish for. :daydreaming:

[Yoshisaur]

For me Kira only goes as far as my closet doors and online identity unfortunately. In the future however I would love to be more open with her, maybe get into social media and having Kira specific friends. Honestly a part of me would like to one day make the transition to female, but other parts of me are too scared or confused to go any further. For now though I am happy with experimenting in private with her and sharing her with you girls.

[Jennifer in CO]

for almost 5 years in the early 80's Jennifer was a real person. Now, she exists only here and in my mind...

[reb.femme]

In all honesty, not enough, but that's a balance my life demands. I love my wife and some things are just a bit more important than others. :)

Rebecca

[Patrica Gil]

Enough to say my lover prefers my girlie side. Defenitely a role reversal thing and that is great for us both.

[Curiosity666]

For now, behind closed doors with the odd post to the internet.

Soon though, I want to have a weekend away and let Lucy free upon the world :)

[Dana44]

With my brain running both half's I would say she is always with me. Yet, when I dress, three days a week. I do switch totally to my alter ego Dana. And its fun to go all the way with my SO as a girl. In male mode it's good also. We go to movies and Dinner. I'm passable and its nice to waiter's to say Hi ladies.

[shena]

My other side is controlled by my libedo and she takes it to the bedroom. She loves to take controll.

[Julie Denier]

I'm a guy who enjoys being a guy but also enjoys dressing up in private when I can, taking photos and participating here on the forum. I went out dressed once with a forum sister in a safe environment, and would like to do so again if the opportunity arose. Even when dolled up, I'm still a guy in mind and spirit, though I cede some of that spirit to my femme side when dressed ;)

[Nadine Spirit]

I am trying really hard to have only one life. But there are aspects of my online life that I only interact as Nadine. For example, this site & my blog.

But is it any different than having a personal email and a work email? Does it mean I have two different sides? A personal side and a work side? I like to think they are all just different aspects of the same person.

[Lily Catherine]

I only exist as Lilian online (including my video game accounts) and within the walls of my room. She, if I consider her a separate identity at all, is banging on the walls of the proverbial closet to be let out at least for an hour. Otherwise, I am one person with one life, and consider Lilian the equivalent of a separate 4WD mode in my gearbox rather than a separate vehicle.

This is exactly how I feel, especially the 4WD analogy :)

[joanne barber]

Only at home when I have the time if I'm not expecting any company, & online... sigh. At home usually at night when someone won't likely be unexpectedly be knocking on the door. Nothing worse than accidentally tearing a nice outfit trying to get out of it in a hurry, or giving your face brush-burn by trying to quickly get makeup off, then answering the door all out of breath.

[Natalie cupcake]

Natalie is always apart of me. But I can't let her out all the time or she might take over the world and try to feminize it!!:battingeyelashes:

[AussieJess]

For me, Jess is always here, always thinking, always convincing my boy self to do silly things. Jess is far more playful and cheery than myself, but she's allowed (sometimes encouraged) to come out 4 or 5 times a week lately. SO doesn't mind, sometimes she even loves it. We role reverse alot, I'd probably say we get intimate 50/50 as far as "who is the girl" goes.
Once the house is quiet of the evening, she lets me dress and be my self and just go about stuff. Super lucky to have a gg like her!

Wow I want to try this type of a relationship! haha

[MissTee]

I dress a lot to a large degree, but it's always inside. I never go out. Don't want to, either. I even have an away home we call my "chick pad" complete with a pink bedroom. That said, I don't turn the guy off and the girl on. It's all in one continuum.

I would even offer up that we are well positioned to tap the brain's full potential simply because we can process thought in both the masculine and feminine form. I'm sure that statement will drive some interesting feedback -- which is fine since if it's done here it will be like arguing quantum mechanics at a cute shoe sale.

[Donnagirl]

Not sure I can call it, "my other side" anymore as I live as an amalgam of both, with a certain amount of fluidity as to who is in ascendence (but never dominance). I dress as the mood takes me with only the hours at work presenting fully male (with plenty of underdressing.) Even my SO has on occasion forgotten my male name whilst introducing me, she now exclusively uses Donna and female pronouns referring to me.

I do know that this puts me in a particularly unique environment and I do sometimes wonder where the brakes are on this juggernaught.

Donna

[DorothyElizabeth]

Because I "underdress" all the time, I really like the 4WD analogy. But otherwise, the girl in me pretty much stays hidden. Several years ago, with the help of an enthusiastic GG partner, I made a fascinating discovery about my BDSM side. In male mode, I am very submissive, but when in female, I become a dominatrix lesbian. I have tried to "wrap my head" around that switch, but have no idea why I am like that, and figure it's just another thing that makes me a little "different", or as my friend, Susan (who knows nothing about that or about my dressing) likes to call me, "an odd duck." :)

[docrobbysherry]

Turns out I'm a straight man no matter how I'm dressed.:straightface:

I'm afraid Sherry exists only in my pics, imagination, and mirror.:daydreaming:

[DanaR]

I used to go out quite a bit, there seemed to be more opportunities. Some of my friends (gg) that I used to visit have moved away and I realized that the time I was using to go out dressed was taking away from getting some of my other things done. So for the last 7 or 8 years, my time out dressed has been limited. My wife gave me night out to a drag show; which we will be going to in a few weeks, so I'm looking forward to that. Other than that, my wife is fine with me dressing at home, she just doesn't want to see Dana every night.

[sometimes_miss]

I don't have a girly side. It's all me. If you're asking how much social interaction I have while dressed as a girl, well, that would be none. I don't know of anyone who would be accepting of that. So I don't push the issue and make their lives uncomfortable just in the remotest chance that I might come across that one in a hundred that will be perfectly o.k. with it. Far too often, we get so caught up in our own desires that we forget how other people will feel; we often have a lifetime of relationships formed upon the assumption of ourselves in one gender. Suddenly demanding that everyone enthusiastically accept that we are now women is a bit of a stretch. Very few people have any idea of how to deal with that. So unless I see a particular need to change the dynamics of the relationships, I'll just let things remain the way they are. I'm ok with that.

[Marcelle]

Hi Gen,

Simple response for me . . . my girl side shares about 40% of my life in all aspects.

Hugs

[kimdl93]

I've been living half and half for a number of years now. I have come out to my wife (before marriage) and other members of my immediate and extended family...and the rest have a pretty good idea. I'm out to some friends, neighbors and business associates, but not others. As such, go out to do things in the neighborhood, shop, bank, etc, etc. I'm less active after dark these days...just don't find that I want to go out to clubs much anymore.

I'm in a monogamous relationship with my wife.

[Krisi]

I'm not convinced there is a "girly side". To start with, at my age it would be a "womanly side" at best. Most mornings I get up and strap on my boobs, wig and panties and spend a few hours as Krisi but that doesn't change my feelings on politics or taste in music as some folks here claim. It's still me only I look (I hope) like a woman and feel like one if you touch the right places.

Only my wife and people on this forum know about my little "hobby" and that's by design. I have been out in public a few times but where people wouldn't know or recognize me.

Trying to live two separate lives with separate groups of friends is bound to collapse at some point and there will be questions.

[weyburn]

well at one time iwas a closet dresser now I live pretty much most of the time en femme
Go out to most places and no one really gives a hoot
everything about it feels so good and right
have even met men while dressed and go that way as well and never would have imagined doing that one
Even get compliments from women when buying clothes shoes lingerie etc
I really love the cd world
