I'm not sure attractive is the right word, but at certain times I really like the way I look--like my avatar picture. My face is ok, but I think my physique looks reasonably feminine and I like how I look in hose and heels.

Whenever I dress up, the person I see in the mirror is someone I'd love to be friends with, but I'm not so sure about dating. I mean. It's still me under that wig. XD
Yes I find my self attractive, I'll never be accused of being pretty but I think I have a certain look that isn't too bad. Anyway if I didn't find myself attractive I probably wouldn't do it.
Nope. Never been attractive. The closest I've ever come, would be as a guy, I'm tall, strong, but always have been a little overweight, and on occasion, pretty fat. Reality is that I'm either Shrek or Princess Fiona.
Either way, an Ogre. So, no mirrors exposed in my house. I spend much time pretending that I look like someone else.
I think you look great! You are not alone in your thoughts. ... ...I am far behind you, and have years to invest to get where you are. I am not thrilled by what I see in myself in the mirror.Quote:

I HATE the mirror and pictures of myself dressed up.
All I can see are all the flaws.
I avoid both if possible.
i definitely feel sexy when i dress.
I feel like I'm me when I am dressed and I like what I see. I don't know if I am attractive, but I feel like I'm a well put together older woman (68).
I do find my femme-self attractive, (way more than I ever thought of my male-self), especially as my workout regimen has begun paying dividends. I just never felt I was even remotely good looking as a guy.
But I really can't find my femme-self too attractive as I look nearly dead-on my younger sister, LOL. :heehee:
i do have higher standard of looks for the women i'm attracted to. i think i'm hideous as a woman, just because many women are worse isn't a consolation.
Not so long ago I shied from looking in the mirror. Lately, I’ve gotten past the instinctive cringe and begun to see myself a bit more charitably....not beautiful by any means...comfortable with my appearance as a mature woman.
To that extent I have learned to like how I look.
Do I find myself attractive? Well at the risk of sounding overly vain, yes I do find Suzanne attractive. With what skills I have in make-up, hair and clothes I try to create the image of a woman that I would find attractive. I think of my male self as quite ugly, and I think that is one, but certainly not the only, reason that dressing has a pull on me, to escape that dull and ugly and to finally be something else.
I remember when I was 25, I could have transformed to a real attractive Rayleen, but with age will working on it and see what we can come up with after I get the new wig and BF and make up work.
If im honest, yes, i suppose i do.
I think i dress as the type of woman i have always fancied, i feel like its a character i have created.
I think I'm reasonably attractive, and when I get a professional to do my makeup, I can be pretty hot looking. Take a look at my profile pic and see for yourself.
I think I have great taste in women's clothes and I'm usually wearing something bright, colorful or sparkly, most times at least two out of three.
But, I think I look best when graded on the curve. By that I mean I'm pretty damn good looking for someone almost 65. I'm 5'10" and about 150 pounds, so weight is in proportion to height. I think I look and present better than the average 65 y.o. woman, many of whom are overweight and go out in leggings that are too tight and sweats that are too loose without any makeup.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Great question... yes I find my femm self very attractive compared to my male self... Longer hair, a bit of makeup really suit my face much more and my body shape looks better the female fashions than male ones. I am not saying I make a very passable female, but just that woman's clothes generally suit me more.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yes, I like what I see in the mirror...most of the time. I ask for commentary from my wife. I welcome her input. She’s done some fashion modeling and offers advice, which includes criticism, like too much or not enough makeup. As we all know, how much fun it is to wear different things. Gotta go.
Well ladies, I seldom post pics for fear of recognition but I thought I'd share a recent pic, just to show what I have to work with, as you can see my height is my biggest flaw and the reason I find it difficult to blend, feel free to post some of your pics, if I dare to do it I'm sure you can lol

I like what I see in the mirror but I've never really liked what the camera shows.
gotta agree with Beverley. When I was 18 per my Cousin I was a knockout. When I transitioned in the early 80's my wife used to call me a fox. When I was in my 30's I still wasn't too bad looking. Today I would classify as a miad. Which is why I don't wear them....(dresses) or try and present as female.
Leanne,
I find my female look far better than my male one , I guess it is more attractive , and I'm totally happy with my look , I feel comfortable when I go out .
Just a word about photos, if you're not happy you are probably using a smart phone with a wide angle lens, that is the least flattering way to take pictures, when you see yourself in the mirror you are viewing with your eyes which give a different perspective to a wide lens . It happens all the time now , so many people complain about hating their selfies because of this reason .
Sometimes I think I look pretty good. Other times I just feel good dressing.Attachment 284358
My fem self would definitely turn my head but if I’m objective, I would say that I’m a strong 7, maybe an 8 on good days.
Yes, but it is by my standards. These vary for each of us, but dressed I do find myself pleasing and enjoy the look and feelings that go with it. Otherwise I would not dress and that would be a bummer because I really enjoy it
At my age, "attractive" has left the building. Funny, as men age, they become "distinguished". As women age, they become "old".
That said, would I date the feminine me? Probably, because I know she would show me a really good time! :battingeyelashes:
I try to look my best as Abbey and as Teresa says I find my female look far better than my male look
No. As I get older, I find it more and more difficult to make myself look female, so I'm really not attracted by what I see in the mirror.
Maybe that explains why I get really nervous when I go out - I don't feel attractive and have that niggling feeling that the reason is that I look like a man in makeup.
There is the odd occasion when my makeup goes really well and the person in the mirror doesn't just look like me with a painted face, but I'm still not attracted.
When the makeup doesn't go quite as well as I hoped, I just think to myself that at least it's not as bad as Grayson Perry's makeup.
Actually, yes I do! Shirley is very attractive and Im so happy that she is a part of myself. I feel very sexy when dressed as Shirley.
I think I looksomewhat attractive. Given the right outfit makeup and accessories though I definitely feel attractive if that makes any sense.
I think that is a very accurate assessmentQuote:

yes, i find in the right pictures, i look and feel really attractive as renee, some other pictures not so much, definitely think renee is more attractive than her male alter ego
Yes I do find my fem self attractive. That was the original idea of cding in the first place. Becoming the woman of my own desire.
And how can I resist when I'm just a bundle of cute?

I don't consider either self attractive.
I am in no way attractive, either dressed or as a man. Too old, too heavy, too bald.
But I will say this. My best looks are when I am in a dress or skirt. And thanks to a few fabulous SAs, who have coached me on my clothing choices, I look better than I ever thought possible. On top of that, when I am dressed, I FEEL amazing and it shows in how I carry myself. So i feel very good about how I present to the world, howver unorthodox.
Attachment 284458For me it depends on how the makeup turned out and how my hair (wig) looks. I think my legs are super hot and are by far my best feature.
I do find myself more attractive as a woman than a man. The people I meet when out and about tell me how beautiful I am, and after showing pictures of my male identity they say I look better as a woman. That helps so much to gain enough confidence to not worry anymore when out dressed tastefully.
My bottom half, yes. My top half, no. Which probably explains why when I'm mixing things up the feminine expression is always on my legs and feet.
I am not sure that this will make sense, but I am not sure that I find myself attractive so much, but I do think that "Terri" can look very attractive. In other words, I do not always think of Terri as being me.

Hi Leanne, you look amazing. and your body is very sexy. I love those boots a lot.
and to asnwer the original question, I find my dressed up self very sexy. I turn myself on when i dress up. as im in my 40's now, im working out because my stomach is messing my look up! lol. but i used to be slim 150 pounds at 6 ft tall and had a great looking body for dressing up. but now im 190.
anyway, you look gorgeous

Absolutely! And I love it because for a brief second I feel at ease and comfortable in my skin! Especially because I look the way I perceive myself and the fact that I'm attracted to myself gives me confidence... that is until I step away from the mirror and realize that what I'm doing is ridiculous and spiral into depression
Hey Wasp, I used to feel the exact same way.. for years... but eventually I let go of feeling like that and admitted to myself what i like, and what i am, and then mentally you kind of just embrace it... now I love it and am turned on completely and I feel free when dressed up.Quote:

Yes, I do find my fem side attractive. On the rare occasssion that I go into public, I am more worried about passing than about being attractive. I at least hope to blend in, if I don't pass. I judge that by second glances and giggles, but I think those are funny, lol.
Bella
-quietly drools over the lovely pictures- :)
Terri, you are gorgeous, hon. That is a beautiful picture.
Falten, adorable look! Very pretty dress on an equally pretty girl.
Jessica - my God, you have long legs! Love the red dress - you look wonderful.
Bella, you are definitely passable. Keep on doing what you're doing and enjoy life your way.
Gawds, you girls make this look so easy!
I am afraid I do think of my self dressed up as attractive. I know it's only im my mind, but it is my mind, i guess. I sometimes look at the photos and think what a FOX i would make.
unfortunately, I do not think I am, but I absolutely have some bad arse legs..
No, I don't find my femme self to be attractive, but that's not what I'm going for. My objective is to look female. Attractive? Not so important.
