Anyone Still Like Being a Man

Does anyone still really like being a guy?? I really do like being a guy a lot...I enjoy sports, I still like shoping for mens clothes, I like being on a date with a girl still. However if I could choose to pick my gender when born, I'd with out hesitation pick female I believe. Dressing does do somthing for me I can't explain...and since getting more in touch with that side of my self I even look at girls differently, not only am I attracted to them, but I wish I could be them as well.
I saw a post that some one wrote that said they think they have a multiple personality disorder. I understand where they are coming from on that, I don't believe I have a disorder by any means, but When I am a man vs when I'm a woman, I have different personality traits and I feel like a different person.

Before It was easy to go in spurts and not dress for months at a time, but with in the last 5 months or so, its been so hard not too, and its been with in the last 5 months that I have purchased more than just clothes and dresses, did the wig shoes and makeup thing as well.

NOt sure exactly where I am going with all of this, but I guess just does anyone still feel very undecided about there gender, which one do you prefer, and if you could choose just one, which one??

Not fair, I suck at being a guy and being fem is a hobby, guess I am a failure :thumbsdn:

Love being a guy as much as being a girl!!! Best of both genders!!!

Love Karren

I just sat through a few hours of the NFL draft coverage - not a lot of women would do that without a gun to their heads. :D


I'm a crossdresser. When the dress comes off, I'm back to reality. I have no interest whatsoever in being a woman - just looking like one.

The guy part of me wants to be a girl and the girl part of me wants to be a guy. Crazy critters.:rolleyes: Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed.:heehee: Actually, it's all me and it's all good.;) :battingeyelashes:

I'd agree with that to some extent. Felt pretty unsuccessful at being a guy for most of my life. The last few years I actually got more comfortable being a man than I ever had. Which is why this CD thing becoming a near obsession in a matter of weeks really took me by surprise.

I would have to say that being in a woman frame of mind is pretty much a 24/7 thing for me anymore. My job requires me to play like a man and at times I think it helps that I am a man, like when its time to take the car in for service and things like that. But mentaly even when in man mode i still find myself thinking about what I will wear when I get home or I really want to try that new nail polish. It's not that I do not like myself as a man, but rather I love myself more as a woman.

I do like being a guy at times but I do love dressing and some time wish I sould be a GG :hugs:

I love lace and soft lingerie and the feel of pantyhose,short skirt's and heel's but i'm still a guy.I enjoy guy thing's and wouldn't want to be femme fulltime.If i had to do it over again i don't think i would change a whole lot.I would marry the same women but i would try to spend more time with my children because they grow up so fast.Sorry for getting off track. Justabit

I was never macho, and enjoyed cooking and sewing more than polishing my car. Sports have always bored me, except for the Olympics. But then again, I wouldn't think that thesed are solely guy things or girl things. So, do i like being a guy? Frankly, I just like being me.

<raises hand> I like being a guy, I enjoy the male side of me, I enjoy the female side - I just like being "me" (as Byllie also said above :))

I agree with what Karren said.

I like being a guy and doing guy stuff, but I also like being in femme and doing femme stuff.
I like sports, cars (got 4 of them), collecting militaria, guns, cooking, dancing, etc. I can go on forever.
When I'm in guy mode I do mostly guy things, although, I have gone shopping for female clothes in drab, but when I'm in femme, I only shop for female things.

I like being a guy and doing things in guy mode. I also like dressing up and putting on makeup, I don't at present see myself going fishing or hiking out in the woods in a miniskirt,heels, and makeup.

I definitely enjoy the feminine side and how it allows me to interact with others. It keeps the loud boisterous male side in check and also to help take others feelings in consideration more often. Then there is the guy side. Football, baseball, cars and the ladies. Yes I am also guilty of looking at them and thinking how great they are and wanting the dress and shoes at the same time. It's great having a foot in both worlds (Still have both feet in the main world right now but I guess that would depend on who you ask:D ) there would probably be even more people like us if they tried it.

About the only time I like being in guy mode is when I am working on my car(s) but honestly thats about it. Almost all of the rest of the time I am wishing that I was in total female mode, but work and family makes me keep the charaide(sp) going. Even working on the car I have underdressed on several occasions. Have you ever changed the oil in your car while wearing a skirt? :happy:

Reading everyone's replies, I noticed no one mentioned the sex part. Though in other topics, we were asked if we are attracted to guys. And in respond, I would say no and yes to being a Man if I had to choose. While I love the dressing, and looking like a woman, I am not ready to take on all that goes with being a woman (good and bad). My sexual orientation is still for woman and I hear so many of us say they would be a lesibian if they became a real girl. As a man, I can choose the part of being a woman I like. Dressing up, looking sexy...etc I do fantasize my female part having sex with a man but cannot put a face to that. (Maybe a ******* would be acceptabel!) I am very attactive as a man and had both sexes hit on me. To be a real woman, it would be more difficult to pass. So to want to have sex with a man, I think, it is kinda like watching a porno with myself enjoying both roles. So being a heterosexual male CD, I have the best of both. I respect others who are gay and wants to be a real girl and be with a real man, thus the terminlogy has labeled us into Transexuals, Transvestites, Gays, Lesbians, Drag Queens & Kings, ********....and what have you. In closing, I still like being a man! Now where can I find that sexy gold miniskirt.

Forward brothers and sisters!

I'm with Karen as well: I love having a life in both genders.

tina

I gotta be both. I don't know why. I would not be happy choosing only one.

No.

I love the gym, running, working on cars getting dirty, guy or little boy at heart! But I can't imagine not getting up in the morning taking a shower shaving my legs, and heading off to work.

Can't beat the feeling of putting on a nice new skirt.....

Love just being me.....

I have to agree with many of the replies but to be specific, I pretty much stink at the guy stuff, sports ... no not really I do like watching gymnastics and ice skating,I suck at both. I do as my one repreve enjoy drag racing but then I grew up with it.I do like to fish...other than that forget it I would much rather be shopping,trying on clothes and shoes,cooking ,anything but guy stuff well save for model trains anyway. If I had to choose just one gender it would be difficult. I love my wife and could not give her up so I suppose I could not choose just one gender. I am happiest in femme mode,I am also fortunate enough that I have my wifes support and understanding.:love:

Victoria,

I love Model Trains, and watching figure skating. Bummed me out when my daughter decided to quite skating.


Seems you might have a bit of Guy fun in you!

Hugs....

I'm a failure at being a guy. I'd give it up in a heartbeat.

Would give it up in the old New York minute. But life intervenes.

Well i can`t say yes or no to that as i am not a man and i am not a woman, i am more like a woman on the in side and a man on the out side or is it a man out side and a woman inside, or a man that thinks like a woman , or a woman that looks like a man, don`t ask me i have not got a clue lol









joanne

I wish I knew what I liked, one minute I enjoy being a male then the next minute I resent everything about being a male. Ugh its a vicious endless cycle. :(

Couldn't agree more there with the second statement.

I would have to agree with the first one however as i'm an aussie rules footy fanatic/tragic.

It's like if i don't want to shave for a week and and a half... i won't. But when the whiskers on the face do come off... then the make up goes striaght on. Not that a clean shaven face stops me from wearing a dress or such though.

I play cricket, go to the footy, drink (too much) with mates, play the playstation with the kids, currently doing some paving outside the front door of the house. I'm really not afraid of getting my hands dirty.
Geez i used to be a panel beater before i started driving trucks.

If I could do it all over from the beginning I would drfinitely be female. Maybe in my next life, LOL! But, that's not the case in reality here. I've spent my 42 years on this earth being male, and know nothing else. I'm not bad at being male, that was never the case. I'll just crossdress and nurture my fem side as I've been doing and deal with it. I'm just trying my best to balance both sides. I am blessed with a wonderful wife, family, friends, and enough money to survive in this crazy world so I'm not gonna rock this boat. :happy:

Yes & no really, I'm not completely happy being a man and am very jealous (but also respectful, I must stress) of women but at the same time I know for me at this moment, deep down I wouldn't be happy being a woman 24/7.

I may be failure in the stereotype of what a man should be but at the end of the day I don't care - I'm unique, I'm me a of both genders and a bit of niether...my ideal would be to integrate crossdressing with drab and just wear what I want to wear as a man but I'm nowhere near brave or self-confident enough to be the guy in the skirt and pantyhose yet.

Some times I long to be femme, sometimes I don't - its a case of Yin & Yang -to quote Karren Hutton - the best of both genders! :happy:

Tough question! If I could have chosen my gender at birth then I would definitely without doubt chosen female. However there are still times I do like being a guy, just far less of them than when female! :heehee: I would never go down the route of gender reassignment though.

The guy thing stinks i hate all of id give it up in a heartbeat NHow wheres my make up bag:heehee:

All men are dogs!

True enough, Hon but even dogs can be "trained" with patience and love.;) :battingeyelashes:

I would live as a woman 24/7 given the chance. When I look in the mirror,I see a woman looking back.:raisedeyebrow:

I couldn't have said it better. This is me to a T. My biggest problem is taking it to the next step.

I very much enjoy being a male. I only want to LOOK like a woman from time to time. I would not want to change that in the least bit.

I totally enjoy being a man and doing all the man things, Taking care of the house, being the man bread winner, Supporting my family and being a Dad to my kids. I just happen to like to play dressup sometimes. :p

I agree with this, but there is somthing to be said about balance.

Linda Z

love being a guy - very highly sexed in a heterosexual way - don't think i want to try it with a guy!

love being a girl - lots of things i wouldnt like - PMT, the ability to multitask, having to get on with life when you are ill to name but three! i enjoy my 'man flu'

love mitch

good point that - yes i suppose i'm a girl when i'm a man - only en femme about 6 hours a week but thinking about the next experience. wearing my 'manbag' with pride, varnishing my nails, grooming like never before, wearing my 'man panties', chatting with the GGs, probably in girl mode most of the time - hadn't thought of that!!!

I have been in a battle all my life in this man vs woman thing. In my head it is so clear...you are a woman...the body says though...you are a man...Growing up it is the body which controls what you become as an adult. Trying to fit in, trying to be "normal", getting married and having a family all the while wishing you were the mom. Having a son who is your pride and joy no matter what.
If it were possible and I could have chosen, I would have been a woman, but this is the real world and compromise is the key word.

I think that each one of us has our own idea of what is a "guy" and what is a "girl". I love being a guy and doing the things I see as being guy stuff, no gym, no heavy drinking, no being loud. I love my wife dearly, I love and provide for my family and love building and mechanical stuff. I also love the feel of silk and satin, heels and stockings. I don't want to be a girl, I just like to dress.

[QUOTE=becca1125n;842898]However if I could choose to pick my gender when born, I'd with out hesitation pick female I believe.

I am in exactly the same boat, i would definately choose to be born a female. And i do bounce back and forth with dressing when i feel like it. but more recently i have been doing it alot as well.

I enjoy being a man in day to day events, but dream of what my life would have been like if a was a women.

I think being a guy is great... And luckily I do ok as a guy. But that makes it harder to sometimes justify to myself why I want to put on a bra, or shave my legs.... There is no way I would give up being a guy, but I do like to express my feminine side at times...
Here are a few things I love about dressing:
- Fantastic range of clothes etc - many more than a guy has
- Make up
- Pampering

I would say I was 90% male and 10% female. But that is a big 10%!

Antonia

I'm into many male activities and enjoy them. But I know there has been something missing. I'm now trying to catch up on what I missed.
Let's just say that being Joy is a distinct improvement over being J--.:D

I love being a guy I just like wearing lingerie I ride dirt bikes fish hunt work on cars all things a female can do but are more of guy things anyway I like doing them while wearing lingerie

No!

Lanore

I also suck at being a guy. I used to go running to the house in tears when I was little because the neighborhood kids teased me about my feminine traits.
As I grew into my teens, I tried hard to do guy things, but hated most of them and was a miserable failure. Everyone except me knew that I was a "girl in disguise". If I could choose my life of living for a hundred years as a male or thirty years as a female, I would have the best thirty years of life I could imagine.
