CD'rs, are you drawn back to male mode after being en femme for a while?

I really don't feel "pulled" back to male mode. I dress for whatever I am going to be doing. Work, male mode, housework, female mode. I know it is sexist but hey I am almost 60 years old. I am wearing a skirt with flats and a pink T shirt while I do my house chores this mornning. I will be in male mode later while I work on a remodeling project. I don't know how long I would want to be in female mode because I have never stayed that way for days on end. It would be great to be able to just wear whatever seemed comfortable at the time. I must admit that I am the most relaxed when in female mode.

I would not want to make a choice of one or the other as I enjoy being both. As I have gotten older the urge to dress more has gotten stronger. Maybe when I retire I will see how long I can go in full female attire. I have never been hung up on the whole CD, TS, Bi Gendered labels. I am just a guy that feels fabulous in female clothing and enjoys the calm that comes over me when presenting female.

I am, and find myself especially surprised. There have been numerous opportunities for me to dress and stay dressed, had I wanted, for an extended period, and during those times and days (and weeks) leading up to them, I would think that I will be dressed the whole time, given my excitement. After dressing for a day, I'd finally be done and want just to go back to being my male self. Like some here, I do think that I am comfortable with both the femme side and also the masc side. (In fact, I like being a man). (One time I had the opportunity to dress and say dressed for two weeks, and I only ended up dressing on two days.). I suppose even CDing is a heterogeneous community).

A recurring theme seems to be that a number of people want to return to male mode as being in girl mode is a lot of effort and impractical for some tasks. But as Rebecca said:

Girl mode can be 'dressed up to the nines' but it can also be much more casual. I mean GG's can put on girl work clothes and chop wood. They don't have to dress up as a man to do it.

I haven't had the opportunity to be dressed up long enough to be "pulled back" into male mode. Usually, when I've had occasion to dress, and those times are most often limited, I resist changing back as long as possible. That said, I'm absolutely comfortable with being a guy and enjoy it completely, the only anomaly in my otherwise all-male personality being my affinity for dresses, hosiery, heels, makeup ... ;)

Umm not sure about that as I have a family and my wife is the only other 1 who knows apart from you gurls.
I don't think I would get drawn back to male mode I just love being dressed up and feeling like a woman.

I have no problem with switching from female personality to male as I have no female personality. I have posted several times that I always feel male and never wanted to be or even look female.

I sometimes struggle with a term "Crossdresser" as it seems to imply a male who either wants to be female or at least to look like one. As I just mentioned, neither applies to me.

I am a man who likes to dress, in what our society perceives, female attire. But why? Why can't a men wear skirts, lingerie, etc as "male attire" and not be scorned or laughed at by the general population?

I dress that way because I like it and it makes me comfortable. I hate trousers, and if didn't have to go out for various tasks, I would never wear them.
I would love to be able to go about in skirts as "male attire" and not to be considered gay or a weirdo, but as a natural way a man can dress.

But that's Utopia. I don's see it happening any time soon. Definitely not in my lifetime.

No, not really. I usually find going back to male mode a bit of a letdown.

Never drawn to be in the male mode for more than a day or for part of the day. That now happens once a month or even less.

the longer I am dressed the harder it is for me to feel good about changing back into male mode, usually makes me a little sad

On thinking about this some more, I would say that yes I am drawn back to male mode after a few hours enfem, for several reasons. Mainly because I chose to, as I am happy to be a guy most of the time.

Honestly, for me, it seems to cycle on its own..... There are months I xdress, and their are months I wear a t-shirt with only pantyhose. I do not think of pantyhose as xdressing, just my second skin. However, now that I am progressing and letting out my feminine side, with encouragement and support, this all may change. I feel happier the further I go.....

If a spell existed that would change me into a GG, I would really consider doing it. My SO loves my female attire at home, but she would not want to lose my male parts either.... Sometimes, I see my fem side as a gift, other times a curse.
