vote why you dress?

[noname]

Just wondering how many here dress because they like the style of clothes or because they wish to be percieved as a women?

[Karren H]

Neither..... Because I'm driven to.....

Love Karren

[Glenda58]

I was born the right gender. And I don't dress for style. I dress so I can feel like a woman sometimes. To cry at the movies, hug someone who not a SO or someone of the same sex without being look at as strange. And talk about anything but sports. Being able to look younger with the help of makeup.

That's why I dress that plus the cloths look so cute.

[Natasha_82]

For me it's niether. I do it because I find the times my GF is away from me dressing fills my sexual urges. But with that being said I want to be in style when I dress.

[ColleenCD]

I'm an "Other" catagory girl. I dress to satisfy a need to be pretty and feminine. I appreciate fashion and enjoy being a pretty girl every so often. At least that's my best understanding of why I CD.

Colleen

[Barb Valentine]

None of the above
I dress because I like the way the cloths feel
It just feels right to me

[tommi]

Other,:battingeyelashes: like to look and feel like a women.How can anyone resist silk and satin.

[PatyR]

None of the above
I dress because I like the way the cloths feel
It just feels right to me

I agree totally on this

[Sweet Jane]

hi

neither..I just have always had this odd compulsion to wear womens clothes. Nothing to do with gender or style, I've just got some wiring crossed in my head at birth I think. I have been in girls gear since I was about 7 or 8...it's me

[jozee]

BECAUSE! i do it because i like to, and because i can. i dont have a problem with being a man. i dont wish to be a woman, although i often dream about it or fantasize about it. it makes me feel good.i will as long as i can. my wife is very supportive, and i love her (anyway) and thank fer for it.:love:

[joaniecd]

I agree with Tommi and Barb, I want to look like a lady, dress like a lady,and act like a lady. Satin and Silk makes me feel so femme

[Tanya83]

It's fun to pretend!

[Chiana]

Hmmmm. Another poll without the right choice. Because I want to.:heehee:

[KatrinaAshley]

Where's the option for 'we like having extra personalities'?

[dods460]

First chose I think I look hot in make up and a skirt, it brings out the bitch in me aswell which is a nice change from the calm quiet guy I usually am.

[Melinda G]

I dress up, because most women don't, anymore, and because it turns me on!

[Penny]

I'm an "Other" catagory girl. I dress to satisfy a need to be pretty and feminine. I appreciate fashion and enjoy being a pretty girl every so often. At least that's my best understanding of why I CD.

Colleen
Colleen, I am so delighted to read your reply. It is precisely why I transform myself too. This need is why I was always unsucessful at purging. It can absolutely play with one's mind and can be confusing to others too. For the longest time my wife thought I wanted to be a woman. She now understands because she understands the need to feel pretty.
The greatest compliment for me is to be told by others who know I am a man
that I look pretty. For most males being told they were pretty would be an
insult.

:hugs:

Colleen

I'm with Colieen on this one :hugs: I have the same need that she described. I have a feminine side that needs to be nurtured and allowed to grow and develop. :battingeyelashes:
In turn it adds emotional balance to my life! .... all that it requires is some fabulous strappy shoes, a fair amount of make-up and a sinfully short little black dress...:D

[Bluebird GG]

i luv fashion, it rules its a statement sort of spirtiual to me it sets u apart from others its an characteristic of sorts, its a planogram to the inner soul and self, its cosmic:happy:

[sterling12]

Can I please go back and pick both reasons?

Peace and love, Joanie

[Peggy55]

I think the reasons for crossdressing go way beyond 2 choices. Intresting poll but I don't fit either....... :-)

[Jill]

This is yet another example of a poll with insufficient choices. It seems like this is the case with just about every poll that comes along.

[RobertaFermina]

agree with jill, more choices please. picked style cause 'wrong gender' isn't true for me, style is in the same planet as my reasons, whatever they are....

[Myst]

Sometimes, I just want to feel feminine. I like to take the time to dress up and look pretty, and the clothes just feel so much better!

[Joy Carter]

Can I please go back and pick both reasons?

Peace and love, Joanie

Ditto's !:D

[Joanboy2001]

I agree with Sweet Jane, I just feel a need to dress up at times and have had this urge since I was very young.

[Marla S]

Voted style.
I was born in a world that wants to tell me that my clothes are wrong for my gender (whatever gender means)

[Marianna Julianna]

Other for me as well. I just feel more comfortable in skirts and dresses, I like to be that shape, I like the feeling and I like how I look. As my 'normal' everyday self I just get by most of the time, as Marianna I am living.

[Teresa Amina]

Maybe not born wrong but somewhere in the neither/nor area. Once I thought it was merely a "thing", but in comparing myself to others here over the last year I now know it's something far more profound, definitely Trans- Something

[occdresser]

I dress for fashion and to pass as a girl.

[Tina Dixon]

Whats my other choices?

[tvdave]

I've always wondered what it felt like to BE a woman: wear their clothes and do girly things. My youngest memories are jealousy of girl cousins wearing dresses, wishing I could, too.

Susan

[diane59]

You mean there is a reason???:eek:
I thought it was natural.

[Josephine56]

I like to look much younger (wigs, make-up) Like to look feminine and feel femm clothes on my body. I like to look at very successful crossdressers and collect photos of them. I take photos of myself crossdressed and fantasize, sometimes while enjoying sexual gratification. There it is.

[Vicky_Scot]

Just wondering how many here dress because they like the style of clothes or because they wish to be percieved as a women?


Being preceived as a woman does not mean you were born the wrong gender.

My choice if it had been available would have been:

I have no choice, this is who I am.

[Jere Oneil]

I dress because I like the feel of skirts dresses and lingerie. I don't want to be a girl, just to have the same choices in clothes.

[Raina]

All of you have interesting reasons. I think mine may be a part of all the above.

[Marcie Sexton]

Getting ready for my next life :D

[Alyla]

You mean there is a reason???
I thought it was natural.

[amanda barber]

I cant fit it into those 2 choices.

[Cassy11]

Why do people love to do anything? With only 2 choices given I can't answer with either one. Ask a NASCAR fan why he enjoys fast cars. People just do what makes them feel good. Do we always need to know the why part of it?

[almalove]

Because femininety is heavenly......

[TV Wannabe]

It's fun to pretend!

I totaly agree.

[suzi_cd]

I do it because I enjoy it.... simple as that. Its nothing to do with the fact that mens clothes are boring or I'm a woman in a mans body...

Sometimes I think I'm on the wrong board... there seems to be so much agonising and people coming up with all sorts of reasons to justify what they are doing....

Stop trying to justify yourself or come with excuses...

[Sam-antha]

My gender is fine as it is.
Being "Dressed" requires an opportunity that males do not have in normal life.
Reason ? Well now, I do enjoy :
Style availability, (especially style {short skirt, tight skirt, bare shoulders, tight top, loose top and etc), one's bearing and walking vary according to the style being worn, then there is the huge colour choice to add and play with in styles.
Being feminine with it ? I do not know really, but it helps

[Josie06]

Glenda, bless you. You are so right. You have also discribe me to a 'T'.

[Stephanie Scott]

I wasn't born "wrong." I just like to pretend that I'm a girl sometimes. And when I do, I don't like to do it halfway; I want to feel as if I am a girl. But I like the way I was made and wouldn't want to change it (unless I could change back!).

[Sierra Evon]

Just doing on Earth as it will be for me in Heaven !!!!!:thumbsup:

[Dee Model]

Neither..... Because I'm driven to.....

Love Karren

You said it Karren!

[Jasmine Ellis]

niether. i love the feel of the cloths and they make me feel great inside too

[Amy07]

I just love the feeling when I want the feeling. I like my male-ness even in pantyhose and heels.

[marie354]

I like it! I like it. Is there any other reason? I don't worry about fashion. If you look at the Today Show, some of the Now Fashions are really Uugly. I may have been born with the wrong body, but I've delt with that all my life and accept who I am, so that's a no as well.
I'm just me, and... I like it!
:hugs:

[JC]

as a younster it was fun to dress

as a teen it was stimulating to dress

as a 50 year old - it is fun again


i am a man - just like to play dress up!

[Samantha B L]

I like the feel of the clothes.It's exciting and it can be relaxing too.The impulse to try on female clothing has been with me ever since I can remember.I accept my maleness and I'm not transexual.But I feel like a small part of me has sort of an interest in being fem part of the time.
