Just an Observation, not scientific nor in order.
1. Life's not fair. Why can't I wear what I want?
2. Passing - How? Do I? Why should I?
3. Shaving Legs - Should I? What will people say?
4. Painted toes - Should I? what will people say?
5. Wife's out of town; time to play
6. Attraction to men while dressed
7. Almost caught
8. I went out! It was so exciting
9. Attention seeking quasi-philosophical waxing and waning monologues
10. Dating - Women who like crossdressers
Fairly close to right. but how about the never ending questions about this store or that store and are they friendly.
Add the threads about thinking of telling my wife, or told my wife. (more meaningful and helpful in my opinion).
Also the threads about experiences and stories about going out dressed.
You forgot what color panties are you wearing and how many bras do you own! lmao...
That pretty much covers it. LOL

Karen, I thought about that....really I did. but I'd have thought you would mention the threads about your favorite female garment. How could you forget those threads about JEANS!
You forgot the biggest one of all: Is it nature or nurture (or Satan)?
So, what would you do differently?
Second star to the right and straight on till morning
I heard once that there are like 5 stories and that every story ever written was somehow based on those 5 basic platforms. Maybe it was 8. I don't remember. But yes you do see many of the same basic things here over and over. That is a good thing because I can just choose the threads I want to read then. I do enjoy reading about how people here grow and progress.
BTW I have on blue French cut Maidenform panties. My toes are a metallic pink. I went out over the weekend but I cannot say what happened because there are rules, I can say that I did shave my legs and there may have been men attracted. I think I passed and I was so worried on the way home I would be caught because I wasn't wearing my stockings or shoes. It isn't fair that women can drive in flats.

“Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.” - Fred Rogers,
Lol... I think you covered them all there Lorileah!
I will add
1. Does the NoNo work?
2. Do any of the home "laser" devices work?
3. Laser vs. electrolysis
4. Makeup tips (i.e., to go from novice to expert in one easy step, or to magically transform me into looking completely like a woman)
5. Difference between a cross dresser and a transsexual (or the which one am I variation)
6. Where do I find a cross dressing friends or meet others like me?
7. Woe is me because I live in a completely intolerant or unaccepting area (small town, midwest or south in the US, etc.)
Added: It would be great to have a true Top 10 and have them added as stickies.

You are pretty accurate, but many others covered the rest.
1] They ARE the biggest concerns for most CDers, especially the NEW people. Aren't they?
2] NEW people come here daily. NO topic is old to them. Not everyone is a Forum dinosaur.
The best and easiest thing for everyone is simply to read and or participate in the threads that appeal to them.
Like all things CD, Forum participation is simply a matter of CHOICE.
Duana, So funny, and please let's not forget that old chestnut, panties over or under your pantyhose blues thats been persued and reviewed at least 100,000
times....lol, dana.
We have had the perfect country song published. Now we have the perfect CD song from Lorileah, just waiting for the music. And what a perfectly lovely tune it would be.

I may never get to fly like the other girls, but I do so want to dance, so I continue to climb.
Of course there is a "search" option that should be used for the "noNo" and terminology and how do you (things like tuck or put on eyeshadow). Unfortunately most never do it. I have even been guilty of not searching before I post

That pops up every now and then too...
I am with wildaboutheels. Some threads I get tired of one week and then the next week I see a similar one that I like. There are many ways to address a specific topic or issues and some approaches are more interesting than others. So, as I recommend sometimes and so do others too, if you don't like the title don't read it and please do not complain about seeing that "old and repeated" topic again. The newbies should not be forced to search for topics that get repeated, unless maybe, if it is a sticky. How many here read the Sticky's? I don't. I just read every new thread that looks interesting to me and then go back to read threads that were not interesting to me to find out what hot topic I missed that got them closed.
I do like your list and the add ons too.
You forgot:
- Do these herbal boob pills work?
- When did you know you were a crossdresser?
- Let's argue about laser hair removal!
- How do I cover my beard shadow?
- Do I look hot in this Goodwill outfit?
LOL!!!
Lorileah's comment made me think of a thread that asked what people were currently wearing. Anyway, there was a person that had on a different outfit like every few hours...and, it was always something ridiculous. I figured they were joking...but, I'm not quite sure if they were in Disney Land, not joking at all, or being a smart a$$. I was hoping for smart a$$. Oh, and, a ton of people described their underwear...which, didn't even enter my mind when I read the post. It didn't appear to be "Laundry Day" for anyone.
Y'all forgot the ones about all GGs being crossdressers. And, "I'm not attracted to men...unless I am dressed like a girl...but, then, I'm only interested in one thing, and being 'taken' by it. I think I am bi...if I could forget the guy attached to that lovely thing." (I've often wondered how many TG therapists hear that musing over sexuality from crossdressers).
I really do think a lot of these are sometimes pretty pressing questions for new comers though. I don't even WANT to look at the threads Cami and I started a couple years ago...probably pretty generic.

IDK I miss the what color panties are you wearing thread!!
I even answered it a couple times.Nobody knows where I live (I hope) so I felt safe.
You live in OntarioIDK I miss the what color panties are you wearing thread!!
I even answered it a couple times.
I think I posted that I was wearing really huge grey parachute panties on that thread. I think I actually said that they were so big that you can go parachuting in them. I wanted to troll hard with various awful panties that I made up...but, I resisted the urge. But, it would have been a little funny if you never actually knew if it was for real or not. "Today, I am wearing black, pleather panties with metal spikes on the top...it's crotchless." "Today, I am wearing furry thongs...zeba print...real zebra hair." Okay, it got unbelievable.
I find make believe panties way more interesting, obviously.

I am somewhat new here... Those questions/topics do pop into my mind. I don't see the harm. If a topic doesn't interest you, don't participate.
I just wanna be pretty.
they are all the regular threads but you forgot "what bath room do I use" Maybe that just comes from crossdresser wanna be's
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Sallee
Really? Me too! well they are red pleather. Where did you get them? Dress Barn? Online? Did they come in an unmarked package so your SO didn't know?
We are not picking on newbies and soon you will see what we mean. But there is a search option at the top of the page for some of the more common questions. This place will have the same questions asked forever. And please DO feel free to ask. If it is something that has been beaten into the ground someone will refer you to the other threads.
To be truthful I am sure that 2 years ago I posted something similar to "why do the same questions keep coming up"

Or it could be that most newbees don't know and are looking for advice from experienced CD'ers.
