sherry, i share a lot of the same traits as you in that respect. don't much like the way i look as a guy. to feel just the least bit pretty as a woman is better than any compliment i could get as a guy.

Exactly... I love to see nice-looking CDs-- especially those willing to share their beauty secrets!Quote:

I would have to confess that I do feel jealous of attractive GG's sometimes, though my thoughts, feelings, and reactions are not quite as petty as those you describe. I do not feel resentful or angry toward these people for being beautiful or "perfect". What I feel instead is more of a sorrow and sadness that I am not. Often when I am in airports, I will see women that are well dressed and groomed who are traveling for work, or traveling to meet family, and the green monster will strike me. I will think to myself: "Wow, wouldn't it be neat to be free to express yourself that way at any time you wanted to. Wouldn't it be neat to look in the mirror every day and see a beautiful girl/woman looking back at you instead of a tired, ugly, worn out, old man. What would it have been like to have grown up as her?"
Yes, I sometimes get jealous, but it manifests itself much more in a hurt for things I will never be or know, not in an anger or irritation at her for what she is or has.
Kimberly, I think you expressed how I feel much better than I did!
Exactly. I feel really glad for that beautiful CD, and for that lovely lady when I encounter them. There's a little envy, perhaps. But really it's more of a lament and a regret on my own part that my life did not include the privilege of being female, except on my own time....sorta.Quote:

:iagree: totally !! Kimberly, you put into words just what I was thinking (but was having a hard time figuring how to express). Thank you.Quote:

Kimberley you have encapsulated my feelings exactly. It's more of a wistful longing, tinged with sorrow, than any jealous or negative vibes towards GGs. I feel sad now just thinking about it.Quote:

Then I realise the effort that goes into the some of the "for real" outside appearances of the ggs at airports, in the street etc and I know that I am far to lazy to do what they have to do as often as they do to produce the article that I admired.
In here, well that is different. No, I am not envious concerning appearances, except in one respect. Simply put and in one word "Age". I really do wish that I could have been as public as you lot are when I was your ages.
Jealous ? No, definitely not. I am me and I do accept that. Mostly that is, the exceptions being on my off days.
Huggzzes to you all

No not what I would consider jealous...I enjoy seeing the girls who can flat out nail it and pull it off...I think about how they put that talent to use...do they go out or are they at home...do thy have anyone who they can use it with say to go shopping, out to dinner or clubbing depending on their age....any tips I might pikc up to help me improve since they have it pulled off to the Tee!!!! They're lucky and I wish them well they've got a talent and I hope they use it....me??? I'll try and be that way in the net lifetime!!!
No not jealous. I admire them. If I think they look really good or pretty I usually tell them so. I'll PM them and ask them for their "secret" :) Also I sometimes ask them if they can give me any tips and tricks to help me look more like them. I just did this last week with Sally24 :)
I couldn't have said it better....although I do admire & respect them as wellQuote:

Do I make snide remarks or snub beautiful women? If I don't truly know them, then I have reason to be mean spirited. On the other hand, I would be turned off by any person, beautiful or not, that acts conceited, snobbish, or mean toward me or anyone else. When I encounter people like this, I feel any beauty they may have had, is now marred.
Life is too precious to waste on jealousy.

[/COLOR][/SIZE]Sorrow is a good word, or male grief. I have felt sorrow, loss, and grief, when seeing a pretty gir, since grade school. I have suffered very low self worth as a male, and see that women have a lot more choices, than men, today, and men tend to die younger, and succeed at suicide, more, than women, and closeness, and love seem to come far easier for women, than men. I see a lovely woman, and sorrow over the steady girfriend, or wife, I have never had, to share life with. Just in the past several weeks, my heart was broken yet again, by a tall, pretty lady I had hoped to dance more with, and maybe ask out, but, as always, another man won her over, and I , left in the ashes.I hurt, but have chosen, to let go, and accept the things I cannot change, not be bitter, move on. Thanks for letting me share, and I'm sorry I got off topic a little. As one said, emotions come, but, we have a choice as to what to do about them., and do the right thing.
I think it's great how good another girl looks. I just want tips on how to get there!
I guess that depends what exactly "jealous" means to you.
When I see a girl looking really good, I feel a lot of things. I feel happy for her that she can look that good. I feel a general sense of appreciation of beauty. Sometimes it makes me sad (I guess you could say jealous) that I look kinda ridiculous while others are totally passable.
I think that most of the time you see those comments, it's just someone trying to be nice and forgetting how many GGs are going to see it. Even for the really good looking CDs on here, you have to realize that you'd be able to read them pretty quickly if you saw them out in public. So comments like that are trying to be reassuring, like, "Hey, you look really good, and I'm not just saying you look pretty good for a guy in a skirt." Sometimes it gets a little nasty because when you're feeling depressed as a CD, it's hard not to resent that 51% of the world is women, because you develop a feeling that GGs are really lucky and that if you were born a girl you would've appreciated being feminine more than any of them do.Quote:

This can be the case even with GG friends who aren't spouses. As CDs we notice this, and it is upsetting to share something very personal with a GG and have her respond as though she were attacked, even if she's trying to be understanding.
Adding to Zenith's comment; Sometimes people who look good are also "not real"!Quote:

NO I don't you except me for the way I look or just go away. I except those the way they are no matter if your a GG or CD. We are human and the beauty of that person is inside. Not the physical outside talk to each other look into your as there Hearts to see the real beauty of that person or what that person is like. But yes I might envey someone and wish gee I wish I had a figure like that. but to be jelious of them NO. I have what I have and will improve on what I have or just use what I have. The only jeliousy I get is that some GG say I have better looking legs then them but I don't let it or flaunt it or rub it in there faces more to speak. I thank them and get a little emberassed about it. We are what we are. As Popeye the sailor says I am What I am.
