A few days ago, while in the beauty salon, sitting down, reading the women's magazines that the beauticians gave me to read while waiting for my nail polish to dry after a pedicure, another customer, who I don't know looked at my feet and told me how lovely my painted nails look and she liked my choice of colour.
She then held her freshly painted fingernails up to me, to show me her glossy manicured nails.
It made my day.
Do you get compliments or accepting comments from strangers?
That most have been really pleasent for you.
To answer your question. All the time. But I think it's a case, for most people, of a get back what you put out.
You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because your all the same
I have had a few compliments out of the blue. I sometimes wonder if it's a true compliment or if the person is not sure if I'm a GG & the voice usually gives it away. If you are complimented, most people respond & they get to hear your voice. But still, I like the compliments.

Women compliment one another quite normally,so it goes with the territory..and usually you get back what you give,so don't be shy when you see something on another woman that you like,tell her so!
A compliment is a woman's way of starting a conversation. It is also almost always a part of a greeting, as in - I haven't seen you in ages, love the shoes'.
Shoe on the other foot. In guy mode, say to another guy 'I love your pants'. You'll get one strange look.
guys complement other guys on CARS, TOOLS video games, just getting a movie from the redbox, ask another guy, what action or comendies are in there this week. mostly, guys mainly just ask guys other guys questions and also, i think most women know even without the voice, were CDTHEY JUST WANT TO BREAK THE ICE. of course, no matter how we dress, if were gay or straight, out body language is still the same. no woman hasnt become offended so far i smile the same at women as Jen the same way jeff smiles at her
ki think the next time im JEFF Jeff really needs to quit being SHY and just complement a womand outfit

Happens all the time with me, and yes the GG's pretty much know that I am not a GG. They just want to talk and welcome you to the world of womanhood. Its so awesome.
IT SURE ISmy confidence is really starting to spike now even i am jeff, look out ladies LOL
I have noticed some react as if it is a treat to talk to one of us. They don't feel threatened at all just curious. Yes I like it. Men seem to want to put distance between you like they are afraid they will catch it.
All I ever wanted was to be a girl. Is that really asking too much?
Occasionally I do, usually I am alone with the other person and we then talk to eachother.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
FOR SURE!! MEN REALLY ARE AFRAID FOR SOME REASON. Im not out to attract men and dont like men but men are just MEN DONT UNDERSTAND
I've had a few GGs, usually younger ones, compliment me in drab on my clear-polished nails. I like to keep them nice and I appreciate that some people notice that.
Of course, en femme I get complimented on my nails, jewelry, shoes, etc. It's the standard conversation starter.

"These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I! How about that!" [Kaylee, in Firefly] [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
"What do you care what other people think?" [Arlene Feynman, to her husband Richard]
"She's taller than all the women in my family, combined!" [Howard, in The Big Bang Theory]
"Tall, tall girl. The woman could hunt geese with a rake!" [Mary Cooper, in The Big Bang Theory]
Yes, I get compliments all the time, mostly when out dressed and in some type of conversation with women, mostly younger women. I get looks at my regular nail salon when I get color on my toe nails. If I see them looking, I normally just ask them if they like the color that I have chosen. That then distracts them and starts a nice conversation about other things.
The thing about compliments is that sometimes are just other people's way of being nice and other times they are really sincere. I can usually tell the difference. The real ones are especially wonderful.
As I have only been out fully dressed once, there isn't much data. However, I did receive a compliment from a young woman (I was in a gay bar on Halloween) who said that I had nice legs. Flattery will get you anywhere!!
But, one thing that I have noticed, and it goes back LONG before I ever crossdressed, it's not unusual for women to talk to me in grocery stores, department stores, etc. I guess they think I'm pretty harmless. Sort of a bummer when you're trying to work up on Bad Ass...

The same thing happened to me just yesterday. My wife and I were getting both pedi and manicures. My toes where in a bright pink and my hands a little darker pink. When I was getting ready to leave, the lady next to me said that the color looked good on me. I think she was sincere. This was not first time I received a complement on my nails while in guy mode.

OF COURSE wom,en are sencere
A few weeks ago, I was in one of my favorite dress stores, wearing a decidedly feminine outfit: black slacks, ankle boots with 3" heels, a neutral colored femme top with a shawl cardigan and my pearl necklace. I got into a conversation with another rcustomer about this and that, mainly clothes and kids, when she told me my shoes were cute. Totally made my day. Last week I was in a casino (No, not in Vegas) wearing pretty much the same outfit. The older men at the table barely noticed anything unusual about me. They talked with me about a whole range of topics, but nothing about my outfit. The dealer said she liked my pearls. I felt like a winner, even though I lost money
One of my "best days" was at Nordstroms with my friend Melissa. She was busy with an MA friend of hers (she knows EVERYBODY at that storeWe talked for awhile and it dawned on me that she was treating me just like another GG. It was absolutely amazing!!!!
Don't get me wrong. I wasn't fooling her at all but she was accepting me as just another woman. I'll take that any day over "passing" or whatever you want to call it!

justy a few months ago, I was at Lane bryant on a limited budget. I was deciding between 3 items! SAs were all super helpful amd really seemed ENJOYED other shoppers, GGs helped me as well and asked my opinion as well. another GG gave me her extra 50 % off card I WAS ABLE TO BUY ALL THREE ITEMS. THAT WAS MY BEST OUTTING! WOW!!
To me personally , its only me... I fail to see what woman or us CD's ever get out of manicures and pedicures. What a waste of time and money. Who cares, who looks. My feet and toes are gnarled and crooked and I don't like looking at thenm myself.Whats the purpose?Vanity?
