Do you predominantly crossdress to wear female clothing, or to look like a female?
Just to clarify:
If you predominantly crossdress for the clothing, it implies that the look is of lesser importance.
If you predominantly crossdress for the look, the clothing might be as important as the look, but your "aim" is to look like a female.
I crossdress to reflect how I would look had I been born in what I feel is my correct gender.
I agree with Jamie. I want to look the way I feel or how I see myself. The feeling is more important than the actual appearance. I love the feel of stockings, silk, satin, lace, velvet and plush material. I love pretty colors and styles. I know I can't pass as female - I am not even a good looking guy - but I like how I feel when I crossdress.
I like the clothes but if they make me look 'right' that's even better.
When I CD, I do it to express myself and have fun.:)
At first it was about the clothes, but now it,s because i want to look like the woman i should have been.
To look like a female.
Both!!!
Dressy women's clothes are a pain in the butt. I have said before and I say again - I don't enjoy the process of getting dressed up, but I love the look when it is finished.
To feel more feminine!
It's the finished product that satisfies me the most.Quote:

While I know I cannot pass 100% of the time, there are times when I get everything just perfect and those are the times that make all the other failures worth it ;) (Thomas Edison didn't fail to make a light bulb 200 times, he found 200 ways not to make a light bulb. Practice makes perfect). ;)

I didn't give my answer, it's true. For me, it's predominantly the clothing, though as time goes on, it may become the look.Quote:

Gosh -- this is a difficult one so I said neither.
That said -- I like to dress because I like skirts and dresses bras and panties and girls jeans and pants etc etc -- because I like the look of the clothes. But at the same time I dress so that I look like a girl, because I think that girls are so very beautiful.
One might say that if I dress because I like the look of the clothes, then wouldn't things like those panties made for men, as sold on the net, be what I'd want to wear. The answer is a loud and resounding NO! The reason is that THOSE are made for men. I want to wear what is made for women. That's why, in one of my first threads here, I asked about who would wear the panties sold by Silk & Satin that look exactly like men's briefs. I'd wear them because they are made for women ,even though they look male.
I dunno -- there is just something about it -- the fact that I am wearing something made to worn by girls that is a big thing for me.

I crossdress to feel like a woman andcorrect the gender I was suppose to be
I do it because I just have to, else I start pretending I don't understand it and take up residence in a hut miles from anywhere [mentally that is]
Myself I just like the clothes and the shoes :heehee: I have gone out fully femm'ed up on a number of occasions (my avatar pic) but I now mostly just under dress etc.

And I suppose that with time, it is going to be just to feel I am a lady....
I love to feel like a ladie and can look in the Mirror and smile
Love the lastest fashion aswell

Both!:)
I said "neither" since "both" was missing.
There should be a "Both of the above" selection. I like looking and feeling like a woman, and I love wearing the clothing. So it's not just one thing. It's both.
:iagree:Hey it's a lame post on my end but what can I say it's how I got over 10,000 posts:devil:Quote:
