what would your guy friends say

[occdresser]

What would your friends say if you showed up dressed in your favorite outfit for the usual poker game on saturday?:lol:

[Lisa Golightly]

Hello Lisa.

[Karmen]

I don't think they would approve that.

[ronna]

"Woo-hoo!", or so I'd like to think.

[Kristen Marie]

When I was a young teen I dared my friend to put on his sister's bra (I had done it secretly many times). After a couple of more dares, he dared me to. "Reluctantly" I agreed and put on her bra and panties and wore them for hours. Maybe I should revisit that dare again??? Hmmmm...great idea..

[Kate Simmons]

"So, you "in", or not?"

[serinalynn]

I don't know because I don't hang out with guy friends. I am almost sure they would blast me big time over it. but, Because I dont hang with guys, I can dress as much or as little as I wan't

[tncdjennifer]

Probably would depend on the group of friends, i used to work in an adult entertainment business, those people do not care, guys i used to play softball with would be shocked and probably spill their beer.

OK, Kristen, i dare you.

[Carroll]

Halloween was bad enough

[Calliope]

'Usual poker game'? Pretty hard to imagine me ever playing poker.

My closest friend, stepbrother since 1970 (and a bandmate in the 80's and 90's), trys hard to be super-supportive, but he's still trying to adjust. Considering how long he's known me as a male, I can appreciate that he's got some work to do. No doubt he'll come through just fine - he always has.

Looking back on it all, I'd be more stimmed to imagine the response my first wife would have. (Alas, she died a few years back, so she'll never know.) Also, a few girlfriends from the old days - I think they'd be curious. After all, I always wonder 'whatever happened to.'

Everyone who knows me now, knows - I present female every minute of the day.

[occdresser]

"So, you "in", or not?"

Would they really say that?::shocked:

[Sweet Jane]

not too sure they'd recognise me at first...then they would be stunned into silence, and then I'd hate to think..

[Kate Simmons]

Would they really say that?::shocked:Well, they all know who I am. You're right though. It would probably be more like :"Well you gonna do something, or just sit there and look pretty?" We don't really play poker but that's the kind of guys they are. We go drinking together mostly, but that's another story.:happy: Ericka

[Kristen Kelly]

I hit the lottery I'll give it a try untill then I'm still dragging that one foot in the closet.

[Wendy48088]

First of all, that's a terrible way to out yourself - it's not showing a lot of consideration to suddenly and without warning dump this in your friends' laps.

I don't play poker. Most of my outside "guy" interests involve hiking, camping, hunting and target shooting.

I can tell you that the guys I hang with are pretty much politically conservative (as I am) but they don't care what I do on my own time - they consider it a kinky sexual thing, and don't want to have to see it any more if they became a nudist and wanted to walk arund nude. So I wouldn't do such a thing.

That said, I think seeing a psychiatrist would be discussed.

[suzy]

UH Boy.....Nope... not even gonna go there.. It would be messy!:eek:

[Joy Carter]

It happen or so it seems that one knew and told the rest. It's been two years since they have asked me to go any where. Some friends? They have never asked if it were true or not. Well my friends all now ware skirts and that's just fine by me.:D

[Eugenie]

GG friends would probably think its OK. The ones I've come out to, all accepted my X-dressing very well. However it wasn't a brutal exposure, I told them very gently. So I don't know how they would really have reacted if they had seen me unexpectedly "en femme"

As far as my Male friends are concerned, most of them would be very negative. Actually, I don't feel comfortabel enough with any of them on that matter to make an attempt at a coming out...
:hugs:
Eugenie

[Trina82]

I dress a bit "minimal" compared to the majority of you all. If I were to share with any of my guy-friends that I like to wear womens' undergarments, they'd probably label me as something I'm not, and probably would ridicule me in front of the world.

[Shelly Preston]

unprintable

it would start with WTF

[Amy Hepker]

Well, I don't play poker. But I do have one friend that knows. I think another one knows and just does not want to be assoiciated with me, because I am sure some older friends know that I used to work with that he still does work with.

[Karren H]

They would freak out for sure....

Karren

[Crissy Kay]

OMG!!! No way would I tell any of them. One of them is a real macho guy. We have been friends for years, but if he saw me all dressed up, he may want to make me his gf on the spot!!!:rolleyes:

[trannie T]

I went to my local Starbucks en femme on halloween, the girls there still mention it occasionally. If I joined my male friends some evening en femme they would find it highly entertaining.

[marie354]

They would freak out for sure....

Karren

I'm sorry Karren. I'm sure they would... They would probabaly like a date! You look great!

[Marlen]

What would your friends say if you showed up dressed in your favorite outfit for the usual poker game on saturday?:lol:
i don't play poker... but IF i play... may be something like this:
- Alex*... ha-ha-ha!... you always give surprises! stop, don't move... let look better...

* - 'cause they don't know Marlen

[Dragster]

"So, you "in", or not?"

The answer's obvious Ericka/Rich, you'd be "OUT"

Sorry, my British sense of humour!
Tony

[EjayeCD]

My buds would really freak. I'm a police officer & cops are "supposed" to be very macho. I guess I even out my personality by dressing.

[Suzie Green]

:OMG: mine would too Ejaye! BTW, I'm just a bit north of you in the Gardner area...welcome to the group! :heehee:

Christine

[Marcie Sexton]

I would really be afraid to think, knowing the guys I work with and the area they live, and society they have been raised in...

...well I would probably get my choice...Tar and feathers or hanging...

my area is still 30 years in arears in social graces...CD/gays/ts are just not tolerated well and needless to say NOT ACCEPTED...descretion is the word....

Just think Hatfields & McCoys and you'll get the idea...:2c:

[TSMichelle]

OMG!!! No way would I tell any of them. One of them is a real macho guy. We have been friends for years, but if he saw me all dressed up, he may want to make me his gf on the spot!!!:rolleyes:
But you would accept right? :p

[cindybarnes]

I would like to think they might say " well thats an improvement" but its hard to tell how some may react.
When I was about 10 my parents had another couple over for their usual night of card playing, it was on or near Holloween. My dad answerd the door and his buddy was standing there dressed head to toe,, wig and all. My dad laughed all night, and told his buddy he realy screwed up the game because he couldnt concentrate. The guy's wife said he did everything himself,, makeup and all,,,,I wonder now,,,,,,,,,,, :)

Yeap I betcha he was a CDer! Hope you are doing well Cindy!!!

[Penny]

I caught some flack by some for my french manicure but nobody says anything anymore. I wouldn't even attempt total drag. It wouldn't be fair to them. They would be uncomfortable and besides, I am a guy! Although,
I do have better stick control when it's between my boobs.:heehee:

:hugs:

Penny

[Kate Simmons]

Sorry, my British sense of humour!
Tonybring 'em on Hon, I like a good challenge. They already know about me anyway. I'm just a "necessary evil" to the(already nutty) gang.:battingeyelashes: :happy: Ericka

[gennee]

My family and friends would be shocked.

Gennee

[JeanneF]

I'd never hear the end of it. I highly doubt that any of them would stop talking to me, but I would probably never be able to get together with them without hearing "hey dude, aren't you going to wear a skirt tonight?"

My friends are very openminded and accepting, but we like to make fun of each other. It's kind of like when one of our buddies came out of the closet. We're totally accepting of him, but we still make jokes about him and his boyfriend (to his face). But he dishes them right back, so it's all good.

[sue ellan]

it would get very ugly.
sue ellan

life is like a roll of tp. the closer to the end the faster it goes.

[MJ]

well it would go something like this :- omg lol nice legs he he he.. so Paul you in or are you just going to stand there trying to look pretty lol

[hotbobbie]

Thats a nice thought

[Carole]

i'm not a poker player either, however, I can imagine the comments from my workmates. It could be worse tho' - if they'd decided on a few hands of 'strip poker' LOL

[Peg]

I can tell you it wouldn't be anything nice , but i wonder what they'll say when i get my ears pierced . Peg:devil:

[Naomi]

its notso much what they would say that concerns me, but what they would do.

[Kandi]

I can't see it happening any time soon. My regular guy friends are all southern rednecks and would not have a clue. I'd sure hate too have to beat up on them for teasing me so I guess I won't give them a chance too.

[Paula G]

What they would say I couldn't repeat here. It would most likely be the last time I played poker with them (or even saw them) again.

[Debb]

I expect that one of my friends would be outwardly "ok" with it, but avoid me totally after finding out. The other friends (I am only counting three total friends here, didn't count acquaintances) I think would give me a lot of crap for it, just like they do currently for being short .. just jokes.

[Kate Simmons]

[Chloe Jean]

It would be safe to say that my str8 friends wouldn't want to have anything to do with me. A couple of my gay friends know that I love wearing dresses and makeup and they like my feminine side.
Hugs
Amelia

[Stormgirl]

What would your friends say if you showed up dressed in your favorite outfit for the usual poker game on saturday?:lol:

They would be like WTF :mad: :Angry3:

[Raychel]

I am sure that they would totally freek out, and then the talking would start. Thta would be a bad thing, since I am a local business man. I can't see how that would be good for business.

Best that Raychel just stays at home.

[dods460]

Well I don't play poker, but if I showed up to go sailing in stillettos and heels they'd probably just make fun of the bad sailing clothes... they all know anyway, they dont care they just grab my but when we're drunk and I say a swear at them.

[Tiffy]

We play an x-box and not poker. But they would not say anything. My male friends would just start swinging for the fences to try and knock my head off.:eek:

Tiffy

[KELLYANN]

Would Love To Deal A Hand In Heels And A Skirt. Although My Poker Face May Not Be The Same In Eye Shadow And Mascara Hehe.

[Charolette time]

Probably would depend on the group of friends, i used to work in an adult entertainment business, those people do not care, guys i used to play softball with would be shocked and probably spill their beer.

Not if they were true Beer Drinkers, I know i:ve never spilled a drop:heehee: as they say in Texas holdem All In Charolette

[Robin Leigh]

I don't have a bunch of male buddies that get together for poker (or equivalent). I'm not that sort of person. :heehee: I tend to avoid such testosterone zones as much as possible. I certainly wouldn't seek such an environment when en femme.

I guess I can think of worse ways to come out to your buddies, but this would have to be one of the worst. :( Why would you want to invade a guys' sanctuary when en femme?

Even if the guys could cope if you came out to them under ideal conditions, if you encounter them as a group the pack mentality will easily dominate the thin veneer of civilization. And I don't think I need to tell anyone here how the pack instinct treats deviation from the pack norm...

When the guys get together for poker, what are their wives doing? If they're having a lingerie party, I'd rather be there. :D

Robin

[Dana Carlton]

its notso much what they would say that concerns me, but what they would do.

That would be my concern as well. That is, with my "macho" guy buddies. I have two different sets of guy friends. I am involved in community theater, and I have a bunch of friends who are gay, so no big deal to them. They know and have seen Dana many times.

But my other "Macho" buddies would immediately think that I am gay/bi. They have joked about it with me many times, since I do hang out with the theater group. Even though I am bi, most of them don't know it, and I prefer to keep it that way with these buddies. These are the type of guys who say "doesn't matter to me, as long as it has a skirt on,........" If supposed I'd wear a cute pantsuit if I did decide to show up.

[Jocelyn Quivers]

Mine would probably try to have me committed to a mental institution.:eek: Jocelyn

[telawilson]

Well, my weekly poker game is actually a weekly Dungeons & Dragons game, so they'd say something like "Dude, why are you dressing in character?"

What's odd is that one of the other guys I play with has long hair and nails and plays a female character...

[Melinda]

Wow, what a terrifying thought. As a previous poster said just showing up en femme without a warning or anything would be a cruel and unfair thing to do to them. If they found out some other way I'm sure a couple would be curious and want to ask questions but wouldn't dare to seem interested in front of the others. There's at least a couple that would just never speak to me again, completely freaked out.

[EricaCD]

Taken literally - actually show up en femme to an evening where my closest male friends are playing poker - I fully expect they would completely freak out. And rightly so. That's no way to treat friends - gratuitously shock the hell out of them and then magically expect instant support and understanding.

To take the question metaphorically - coming out to all my male friends more or less simultaneously, and then showing up en femme to meet with any that cared to do so - well, that's a tougher question. I would guess that I would lose at least half of my male friends, and probably most of my female friends (paradoxically, my female friends are more conservative). And it would put a not-inconsiderable strain on my remaining friendships. I like to think that with a lot of work I would be able to rebuild those relationships, but I would be living in a fantasy world to say that the friendships would be the stronger for this revelation.

Erica

[Robin Leigh]

Mine would probably try to have me committed to a mental institution.:eek: Jocelyn
A few decades ago, the institution would've accepted you, when gay & trans behaviour were seen as symptoms of mental disease. These days, TG propensities & behaviours are generally understood to be within the normal spread of human types & activities (at least in the civilized world). However, gay & trans phobia is a phobia, a mental illness, and phobias can be cured, with the right treatment. So there's hope for your friends yet. :devil:

The other guy is TG. Trust me on this. Don't expect him to admit it, though. :D

:hugs:

Robin

[Brenda_fish]

They say "No f'in way . . .!!!"
Not sure what they'd say next.



A fish called Brenda

[robinLynn]

the people, friends, and family that i used to associate with would not only not accept Robin, they would beat the hell out of her and leave her in the woods to die. Thats why they live in the mountains and in the past a long way and a long time ago from me

[Tina Dixon]

What would your friends say if you showed up dressed in your favorite outfit for the usual poker game on saturday?:lol:
They would think I'm nuts, a weirdo and maybe even queer.

[Kate Simmons]

They would think I'm nuts, a weirdo and maybe even queer.I'm guilty as charged for the nuts and weirdo part. They probably think I'm queer too because I actually eat with a knife and fork.:eek: Oh well..............

[Tina Dixon]

[Jestina]

My kid brother is one of my "male friends" and he is soooo different from me that I wonder sometimes if we were both begat the same way. LOL
He would definitely not be amused, as I am one of his heroes and more of a father figure to him because of the age difference.

I would have just as much problem, with women friends I think.
One girlfriend thought that I was gay, another wondered if I was really a man, etc.

Strangely none of these people play poker.

Hmmm, maybe that is the problem.
Are poker buddies inherently more CD friendly?:heehee:

Perhaps there is hope. A girl can only dream then unitl that day arrives.:D Jocelyn

[Diana West]

We only play with four Queens so I couldn't dress up.
Seriously, if they only said WTF, I'd be amazed.
It'd be more "Get the F--- Out of here."
Or they might think I was trying to psyche them out and let me play anyway.

[KatrinaAshley]

This would not go over too well. They aren't bad people in the least, it'd be one of those stories you'd absolutely never hear the end of. I'd be the only one anyway, the GG's don't come to play very often. I'd stick out much more than usual.

[linnea]

not too sure they'd recognise me at first...then they would be stunned into silence, and then I'd hate to think..

If I showed up for any activity with my guy friends and I showed up as Linnea, my guy friends would first have a little trouble recognizing me, then they would be stunned into silence or uneasy laughter, and then they would probably start questioning me. One of my best friends was dismayed that I had my ears pierced; he could not believe it. He doesn't know that I cross dress, and I think that if he did, he would be flabbergasted and angry for awhile.
