Do you find your fem self attractive

[leannejacobs]

I'm still perfecting my look but I'm finding myself more and more attracted to what I see lol sorry maybe a strange thing to say, it's difficult to explain, I've spent a long time developing the look I like but I'm now at a stage where I'm very happy with the image I portray, I dressed today in my new slim fitting red dress with black tights and my new thigh high black suede boots, I've lost some weight recently and no longer need/wear the waist clincher I used previously, with my forms and home made hip pads I looked at myself in the mirror and thought wow, you look good girl lol.

Unfortunately the camera seems to capture a slightly different picture, I'm not the most photogenic of people, I just look awkward and don't pose very well, I do Doctor the pics slightly, just to bring out colouring etc. But I'm never as impressed with the pics as I am of the reflection I see in the mirror.

Am I alone in my thoughts? I guess not but would love to hear your feelings about what you see in the mirror, does it please you? would you date someone who looked like your fem self?

[Sheila B Kelly]

Maybe Ive got low standards Leanne but from the first time I saw Sheila fully dressed I fancied her !

[Marihanne]

Yes I do, especially boobs, I am looking for ways to make sexy butt, but I haven't found out yet.

[leannejacobs]

Joyce mentioned seeing flaws in the mirror, I'm not saying I don't have flaws or things I'd like to improve upon, unfortunately there are things no amount of make up can cover up, my height is my biggest flaw and the one thing that ruins any chance I have of passing/blending in, I'm very tall and I stand out in a crowd, I'm quite well proportioned but at 6' 5" in stocking soles I'm screwed before I start.
I have ventured out quite a bit and when the pink fog is thick enough I dont give a damn what people think and enjoy the moment, my usual outings involve entering larger stores in the evenings and having a good wander about, yes I know when I've been made and generally it doesn't bother me, the worst is young teens who will follow you or duck up an isle so they can walk towards you and get a better look, to be fair I've never had any hassle from them, they just want to satisfy their curiosity which I dare say I would have done myself back in the day.
Most of my dressing is indoors and for my own pleasure so I still enjoy it and like what I see in the mirror, when I'm in the house alone it usually involves multiple changes of clothes until I find what makes me look most attractive. Some have indicated that they've been complemented for their appearence, my wife's best friend knows I dress and has seen some pictures, she's been very complementary on a few of the pics, paying particular attention to my shapely legs, its a great boost when someone else recognises your efforts, in time I hope I can show her Leanne.
Marihanne mentiones boobs and sexy butt lol I can create a nice cleavage with my forms and what I have squished together and my butt, well I inherited the family trait of a plump and pert butt which I love, however I do use some padding in the hip area, self made out of foam, they work nicely, my legs are long and shapely, my mother and my sister have always been complemented on their lovely legs so I took great delight in showing both of them pics of me saying "see its not just the women in the family who got the great legs lol" I can't wait to get dressed again tomorrow, all this talk has me excited already lol.

Yes I do, especially boobs, I am looking for ways to make sexy butt, but I haven't found out yet.

Back in the day there were ads all over the place for panties with padded bottoms and, I think, girdles with rear enhancement. Do none of those solutions work for you, Marihanne?

[Alice Torn]

You are not alone!! I also have pretty much perfected my look, and the bad side, is that i am so turned on. Alice is what i would like physically in a mate, and i am single. I feel lie Alice is my wife almost! So much so, that i don't see many GGs in the area i am stuck living in, that even come close!! If i go to a big city, that is not the case, though! I have decided to greatly curtail my dressing up from wig to heels, because I do not feel or think it is helping me to make GG friends, or even guy friends. Socially, it isolates me even more so. It is amazing what hose and heels, a stuffed bra, padded panties, , and a wig, and make up can do!! However, after decades of feeling like crap as a male, and down on myself, I keep in pretty good shape physically, other than a bad left hip, and for all the hell i have been through, i don;t look half bad as a guy, and i really cannot hate myself as a guy,and truly love myself dressed as Alice. I must accept that i am a male, who never got to have a wife, hated myself for that, but is finally ACCEPTING my guy side and my occasional Alice side. Both are not that bead looking, and admirers online told me i was stunning and sexy and beautiful. I wish more single GG's around my age would compliment my guy self, but it almost never ever happens. It frustrates me, that so many guys are greatly wanting my lady side, but zero GG's are interested in my male self. It hurts.

[Beverley Sims]

My fem self was attractive when I was eighteen, I started the downhill run when I was about thirty.

Oh! well. :-)

[Cheryl T]

I like myself and my appearance for sure.
Of course there are things I'd love to change, like my height, weight, shoe size, lack of natural hair ... LOL ... just minor changes.

[josie_S]

I do! I hope others do too

[carhill2mn]

Yes, I think that my fem self is attractive, at least for an older woman. Fortunately, this is not just my opinion. My fem image is certainly more attractive than my male image.

[Confucius]

Well, no.
I think that when I was a teenager, I might have been looking passable as a female.

Nowadays, I still think the dresses and outfits are pretty, even if I'm not. I love the way they make me feel. I am not dressing to attract any men.
I also have to say that I find very few crossdressers attractive, but that's still just fine by me.

[Kas]

Hell yes I do. Wouldn't do it if I didn't.

[Jayne44C]

I find my femme self more 'attractive' than my drab self. There are still things I always want to do to perfect my femme self. It's a never ending desire to improve....

[Jenny22]

When all dolled up, in FULL femme, I feel I look 20 years younger, in the mirror, but not so much in the close up photo (old girl with wrinkles!). However, if the photo is at a slight distance, and I'm wearing my pretty sunglasses, I look like the woman I'd want to be. And, yes, I'd date her.

[Stephanie47]

I am seventy now and my face reflects that reality. It works well with my male self, but, not too well with my femme side. My body type is still great for a guy, but, on the female side..not too much. My wife took some pictures of me with some friends from the old days who were visiting. When I am placed among a group of women I tower over them. The only person I know who is taller and larger than I is my son. I can handle it, but, I know I looked terrific en femme when I was in my twenties. I was kidding around with my wife last night when we were watching television and a commercial came on for an electric hair remove concealed like a tube of lipstick. It brought back memories of my 82 year old grandmother who really needed to shave her upper lip. I hated it when she tried to kiss me as a kid. It felt like I ran into a porcupine. I do not want to achieve that look. I'm settling for the look of a seventy year old woman, wrinkles and all.

[docrobbysherry]

I'm 70, Leanne. A bit near sited. So, I see the same thing in my mirror as my photos. I'm 70 and took this pic yesterday.

Tell me if u like what u see. I do!

[Susan Smokes]

No your not alone. I love what I see in the mirror when I dress, even though I don't look that great, and yes, I would date myself.

[Suzanne Blake]

Do I find myself attractive? Well at the risk of sounding overly vain, yes I do find Suzanne attractive. With what skills I have in make-up, hair and clothes I try to create the image of a woman that I would find attractive. I think of my male self as quite ugly, and I think that is one, but certainly not the only, reason that dressing has a pull on me, to escape that dull and ugly and to finally be something else.

[Stephanie43]

7A82D01C-A08B-4905-84F7-87B9BDA907CD.jpgFor me it depends on how the makeup turned out and how my hair (wig) looks. I think my legs are super hot and are by far my best feature.

[Laura28]

Not really maybe I am just old. But I don’t feel I could pass for even second. The face just does not look femme.

[DIANEF]

I do think I look quite good when dressed, though I have been at this thing a long time and have had a lot of practice. Certainly preferable to my drab self and always trying to improve things. A very respected (by me) fellow member once said I was 'beautiful'!, I wouldn't say that or anything close but it was nice to read.

[Tracii G]

You need to remember when you look in the mirror you are seeing a reverse image of yourself and in 3 D.
The camera sees you in a non reversed way and is 2D.
Some days I look OK to myself some days not so much.

[Dana44]

I do find my fem self attractive. I have been told I am beautiful. Yet I know I have a male side also. But hey it is nice to be pretty.

[Christine Eriksson]

Absolutely, I find my female self attractive. At least those days when I'm happy with my outfit and makeup.
Sometimes I think thats one of the reasons I keep doing this. I think that the woman I se in the mirror in some way is my soulmate. Would be nice to have a date with her ;-)

[Meghan4now]

Pretty much, but not alway 100%. Kind of a large part of the point. Why wouldn't a CD try to make themselves attractive in an image of what they find attractive. BTW, that can be a whole range of what you find attractive, from Glamorous Girl to soccer Mom, or country Tomboy.

Who would strive to not be attractive to themselves? That seems a bit masochistic.
