First off, I've decided to no longer refer to myself as "closeted" or "in the closet" in anyway. That doesn't fit me at all. I decided to describe myself as a "private cross-dresser". On one hand, I no longer care who knows or finds out. But on the other hand, it's my personal thing, no one has to know. If I decide to share this part of myself with a few close friends, that's my decision.

Well anyway, I just arrived to the store where I work this morning, and was sitting on the dock with a couple of female employees, just hanging out before the work day. As, as some of you have seen my pictures know, I have very long hair for my age, and am often mistaken for a female at glance.

Well one of the male employees, a really good friend actually, came out onto the dock and said, "Hi ladies" with out really noting me. The thing is, as soon as he noticed me, he realized his mistake, and started laughing and singing "Dude looks like a Lady".

I know he wasn't doing this to mock me, we're really good friends, but as soon as he stopped singing he looks at me and asked "You like that, don't you?", meaning to me, I like being mistaken for a female.

I would have said yes if there weren't two other employees there, including a female I kinda have a crush on. He asked my again, smiling, as if he knew, but I didn't know what to say.

It was then the woman I kinda had a crush on, possibly noting my discomfort looked over at me and smiled the sweetest smile and said, "I think he looks very manly. I do."

I smiled and looked at her and said "thank you", and I meant it.

I don't know what the point of this story is except, being a cross-dresser who lives his day to day life as a straight male, yet at the same time, recently acknowledging "Caroline" and allowing her to come to the surface more often in my day to day life, it was nice to find out I was still attractive as a man.

Up to this past april I had long below the shoulder hair and have been called ma'am, Miss or in company with my wife or daughter Ladies. and on occasion going on board two local military bases I was called Ma'am upon entry, even though i was obviously wearing mens clothing and with a manly photo on my retired military ID card. I think its an invigorating feeling being called Ma'am, miss or ladies If they only knew!!!!!!

I doesn't need much to rattle someone.

Long hair is sufficient for "Dude looks like a lady".

People are just superficial, but know everything for sure :straightface:

I get a thrill out of being called "Miss" as well, and have gotten used to it over the years. The funny thing is people always feel the need to appoligize upon reconizing me as a man, as if I embarassed them in some way. LOL. Like "I'm soooo sorry." The last time that happened to me, I almost felt like saying straight out "It's okay, I'm a cross-dresser," it's just I can be kinda shy.

I just wish i was able to let my hair grow so that I could have it styled nice and femme,

I would love to be referred to as Maam or Miss when I am out wether in drab or femme.

I have long hair but nobody ever thinks I'm female, even when I'm dressed. Darn.

I think it's got to be more than just the hair. I think it's that as well as my facial structure, and the way I hold my body. That and I'm an artist so I'm a bit more outwardly sensitive and in tune to observing nature and emotions.

Yet at the same time, I'm very much a man, and almost no one I ever met ever suspected me of being "gay", or really thinks of me as a woman.

I guess I'm just good at it. :o
