Hello,
Just curious to know what percentage out of a hundred is your male personality in the traditional stereotypical sense without faking it? My wife and I agree mine is 30% male and 70% female without wearing a feminine thing just me as a person.
Hello,
Just curious to know what percentage out of a hundred is your male personality in the traditional stereotypical sense without faking it? My wife and I agree mine is 30% male and 70% female without wearing a feminine thing just me as a person.
I'm curious what traits you consider male female and neutral once you exclude appearance and purely biology related things. As I try to answer your question I keep thinking most things are pretty neutral.
My fault I was referring more to personality traits. The stereotype is the guy is more dominant in personality and the woman stereotype is more of a nurturer.
I would put myself at about 75% male, 25% female. Though, I don't associate that with any particular stereotypes; it's just how I feel.
Hi Liana :hugs:, Welcome to our Forum, When you are here, You are Home!!
Probably 95 % Male, With Triple Pierced Ears & Clear coat light pink Nails, >Orchid**O:daydreaming:O**
Thank you for sharing JulieC and BLUE ORCHID
Probably 98% male. But not because I WANT to be!
Probably 60% male
Great question that makes you think. I feel 100 percent male that 100 percent likes to dress in womens clothes 100 percent of the time. However if I view myself from the perspective how other men view me not knowing that I am a cross dresser they would probably say I am 65 percent woman. I love to sew I compliment women on what they are wearing, hair, or nails just like another woman would. Yet I am very mechanical and have no problem getting dirty to get a tough job done. You might say I take it to the extreme. Extreme male or extreme MIAD Man In A Dress. Look at how I view myself 100 percent male 100 percent crossdresser 100 percent of the time that makes 300 percent. Definitely a male thing bigger is always better :)
I do not think I am stereotypical.
Well, Karen ...
Typical: no, you are not!
Stereo: ... Hmmm ... you Do have both channels blasting, so I dunno' about that perhaps ;)
Interesting thread !!!
So I took my average of two days when I can dress as Sarah compared to the calendar and I come out to about 6.5%. So that means that I am my usual male self the other 95.5%.
Now when I factor the number of hours that I am online with sites like this, chat with Tgirl friends, prep for those days I can be fully Sarah and those countless hours planning and fantasizing then that percentage sky rockets. I am exhausted just thinking about that total???????????
I consider myself 100% female, and dress accordingly whenever I don?t have any male things to do. But I do enjoy playing the male role. It has become easier and more natural to me once I realized it was an act. I dress as classy as possible in male mode: everyone else is in blue jeans and I?m wearing a suit. Women frequently give me the eye when in male mode, and I like that. I?ve often thought about going 24/7 female, but I don?t see myself giving up the male role completely.
Oooo! I love math problems!:)
So, lets see: There r 168 hours in a week and I dress and go out about one evening per week for about 4 hours.:straightface:
According to my calculations that makes me 2.4% female.:battingeyelashes:
However, if u count the computer time I spend here and on Face Book and Fetlife as Sherry? That's another 3 hours a day. Plus time spent working on photos and preparing for new Sherry shoots, add another hour and 1/2 a day.:straightface:
That comes to a grand total of 35.5 divided by 168 is a total of 21% female!:)
Unless u subtract the hours I spend sleeping? Then, in that case I'm 30% female.:heehee:
Should I add the time I spend dreaming about Sherry?:devil:
If I interpret this correctly then you mean when I'm drab and interacting with others that way.
Then I would say I'm about 70% of the stereotype. I'm not seen as an Alpha for sure unless I begin to fake it. None of that chest beating, bragging stuff.
When I'm dressed then emotionally and so on I'm 95% female.
When I am dressed as a man daily I consider myself 80% male and 20% female but put me in a pink dress and pink stocking and garter belt and high heels and makeup I feel like I am 90% female and 10% male, what a relaxing feeling
I don't know how to answer this question. I'm guessing I'm somewhere in the 80% - 90% male. The are two things that put me on the fence. When I am wearing a bra, forms, nylons, jewelry, and a dress or nightie, I am so relaxed and feel so natural even though I know it's not natural. The other thing is when in groups or with people where I volunteer, I am much more comfortable talking with, and developing friendships with, the women I'm in contact with vs. the men. Yet, I know I will never be more than a MIAD.
Thank you all for sharing!
I live very contently and happily in my male side 98% of the time with my Danielle time being the other 2% if I add up the hours of Danielle dressup opportunities in an average year.
But back to the OP and I think the question actually was when in male mode what percent of your personality is male. For me it is very close to 100% since based on my behaviour, conversation, and movement I don't think anyone would suspect I have a female side that has to come out and play sometimes. There is nothing fake about my male side and I do not have to work at my male presentation, it comes very naturally , the same as when i am Danielle I naturally behave more feminine.
I've been paying my therapist $100 and hour to help me answer this question. I certainly dress as a guy to work and live life as a traditional husband but my mind and soul are something entirely different. If only it were as easy as a calculus problem.
For me, the femme side of my personality is an amplification or extension of the whole. Psychologically the two are are linked and cannot be quantified. Both sides are with me at all times, regardless of how I'm presenting at the moment.
I'm starting to think of myself as non-binary, so I guess 50/50 regardless of how I am dressed.
That's easy. 100% male, and there's nothing that known science can do to change that. Hence, the "crossdresser" part.
I would say about 90-95% male. Dressing up and doing my nails are the only female hobbies I have... And honestly, I view it more as "fun things more guys should do" vs. feeling like a girl.
Thank you all for replying to my question
I'd say 80/20 male to female.
Physically - male. No arguing with that. (@#@!!)
Now - personality traits, I'd have to say "it's difficult."
I'm a caretaker / nurturer / cooperator. I can appreciate a beautiful sunset, or the lovely outfits Vanna is wearing. Stereotypically feminine, right?
I'm also a problem solver, (ex)technician, and someone who can fix a toilet or kill bugs. Stereotypically male, right?
I probably spend about equal amounts of time in stereotypically feminine and masculine clothing. (I'm always in panties, though)
I don't dominate. I don't like sports. I'm not into "chick flicks." I like sci fi and comedies.
I've been told "You're like one of the girls, anyway," when I was dressed fully male - and by someone who didn't know (at the time.)
So - I'd say I range somewhere between 60/40 and 40/60 (M/F) most of the time. It depends on what's going on around me at the moment.
Yeah, both knobs turned up to 11.Quote:

There is a survey online that reflects the work of Sandra Bem called the Bem Sex Role Inventory. it compares traits that surveys have shown that society sees as masculine, feminine or neutral and shows which side of androgyny a person might fall. It's not totally accepted as "science" but it's interesting to see how one scores on a standardized test.
I've always considered myself to be totally male, but I've also always been somewhat psychologically androgynous. I took the test and scored to the feminine side of androgyny which according to the criteria, seems accurate.
My scores:
feminine: 5.25
masculine: 3.30
neutral: 4.05
If feminine and masculine are over 4.0, it scores you as androgynous. My score put me on the feminine side of androgynous. According to the criteria, I was this way long before I started crossdressing in my fifties.
I still see myself as 100% male. Heterosexual, monogamous male. But, I was never a "man's" man.

I have never considered myself anything but a male who likes to wear women?s clothing from time to time. And lately, it has been less and less time and often nothing more than panties. So, I don?t know what percentage that makes me but I?d guess it is pretty much on the high side as male.
This would be a tough one for me to pin down a number.
I would guess about 85% male, 15% female.
I totally prefer to dress in womens clothes. That is 100% how I feel most comfortable
But I think like a male otherwise. Although My body won't let me do most of those guy things anymore.
The construction projects are getting harder and harder to do,.
Now that's a tough one...hmm I have rebuilt the carb on my 67 El Camino while where my black tennis dress, shiny tights and heels. Closed toe of course as I am in the shop. Where would that put me percentage wise? Caring, loving male wearing women's clothing with mad MacGyver skills with hints of Mike Holmes building traits. Let's dress up and grab our tool belts. Were going shopping at Torrid. After we head down to the massage table to relax some before the football game starts.
From a brain perspective, 10 percent male.
I have taken the bem sex role survey that Bea suggested and is was 132 feminine and 71 male. Thank you all again for sharing and replying.
Hmmm.... I don't have a proper measuring stick for this...
My first reaction is that I am 100% male all of the time. I dress in women's clothes, but stay the same. (Other than holding my knees together and bending over appropriately for the outfit.)
However, I don't care to watch sports, and I don't mind watching chick flicks. I am more caring about strangers than my wife, but that might not be a male/female trait thing....
EDIT: "I am more caring about strangers than my wife cares about strangers" -- just to be clear! :-D
I'll go with 100% male. Are we being graded on accuracy?
I try to be 100% me (at least when me isn't a dick - no pun). And me is male by education. So, mostly male as society views it. My wife still can't connect male me with wheeez-pantyhose-heels-lipstick me. I can, because I don't really feel any different inside. Just dressed differently, and feeling different emotions linked to being dressed like that. So the Crepe Suzette version of me is pretty much male too.
I tried the Bem Sex roll Inventory, very interesting. I came out 50/50 Androgynous which means I'm about the same however I'm dressed, half male half female. Quite happy with that result.
Thank you all for participating!
I took Bem Sex Role Inventory test mentioned here - the first one I could find and got more feminine score than masculine, which is not what I was expecting...
Femininity: 5.2
Masculinity: 4.5
Neutral items: 4.6
I'd say I'm 70% masculine at least, unless I'm "dressed" (which doesn't happen often).
[SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE]
Ha, just took another version of the test, going from a blank state:
profile is: feminine
masculinity: 3.8
femininity:4.9
I never would have guessed...
Well, these are my results:
Femininity: 5.05
Masculinity: 5.35
Neutral items: 4.85
I suppose they are where I thought they would be... I guess.
I think it would really depend on the day and what I'm doing and with whom but left to my own devices, I much prefer exploring my femininity.
Largely because I have had to suppress those feelings for so long I think and now I feel as though I am making up for lost time.
I also feel more authentic as a woman...
my bem rating is
1.6 male
6.3 female
5.3 neutral
100% me. Clothes are what I wear, the rest is just me.
When a male is a nurturer they call it husbandry. I am attracted to performative femininity, and prefer to live that way at home. I'm androgynously dressed male out in public.
If I had to put a number on it, I'd say, maybe 60f-40m (?). My signature line says it best.
I would say I?m 80% female although the 20% male is mainly how I talk at times I still haven?t changed all my male sayings or discussions males get into over women. I know the difference I just haven?t gone in that direction totally yet but I?m working on it.
Hard to put a % on it. I have joked with friends I could easily be gay if it wasn?t for the fact I?m not attracted to men.
Long time married and love my wife with a healthy sex life and love my kids taking my role of husband and father seriously.
The on,y person who knows my CD is my wife so all friends and family see me 100% male, although I recently confided with some friends I wear female Jean shorts as they fit better.
So I love women and love the femininity of CD but even if I?m wearing a skirt there is no pretending as I even have a beard.
Difficult to put a percentage on it, but, would lean more feminine than masculine. I've always felt than my personality would have been better suited if I had been born female. I've never been one of the lads, but, tend to gravitate towards women rather than men within a group setting.
0 if I had a choice but maybe 10%-20%.
I'm over it so when I walk into the local for a Chardy with mates, Its Stace in Guy mode with Lippy, nails and very short shorts 99%
The other Stereotypical % is in the back for when the football players get out of hand.
