    Pretty much all the time, except when I go to work. But the clothes I wear are pretty neutral. It would be hard to tell weather the clothes are female or male.

    Being in a DADT situation, I don't have much chance to get out. Recently my daughter and 2 children have moved in with us, so I have an even harder time dressing at home. I now get out fully dressed for shopping about 3-4 times a year. I miss it.

    I go out whenever I am dressed Well almost every time. Malls, bars, usually gay but not always, restaurants pretty much where ever. And pretty much I either don't get clocked or no one cares. I tend to think it is the latter. Although I do dress to blend. It is great fun too. Do it

    The only reason I went out in the 1st place, 22 years ago, was to meet other dressers!

    That's still my main motivation to go out dressed! We don't "fool around". Just good times with great T girls!
    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    I go out about twice a week to do grocery shopping, clothing shopping, run errands, and occasionally a stop for lunch. I find myself saving up errands for my next Gracie shopping trip. It's just so much fun and feels so right.

    Pretty much never unless you count wearing woman's jeans and boots in male mode.

    I just counted my pictures folder and by my best guess I've been out 52 times in 2022 including four days in a row from last Thursday to last Sunday.

    I've been in planes, trains (Amtrak and public transit), and autos. Been to two plays and one concert. Shopping, of course. Two times at Pride and a couple of beach bikini outings. Bars, restaurants and casinos.

    I write about my outings in the pictures forum and at Kandi's (see my signature below).

    I have no idea about the percentage of those who go out, but for every person logged into this board, there are usually 50 to 100 guests. I can only assume the lurkers are interested in dressing but unwilling to create a login ID and post. Those numbers would suggest that 80% who don't go out is actually higher.

    P.S. I just checked the site. 520 on line, 19 members, 501 guests. That means roughly 25 guests for every member; this would roughly translate to 4%.

    My ex used to bowl every Thursday night and I worked a 4-10 work week with Fridays off so Joni would go out every Thursday night shopping, malling and to my favorite watering hole. I went out most Friday mornings as well. I miss those times.

    My outandaboutery usually consists of 7 days full time while away on a Helen Holiday. Hence I cram in as much as I can. I'm usually out the door by 09:30 and will only return less than 12 hours later if it's to freshen up and put on a different outfit. It's this week of the year M&S make their most profit on bras, knickers, skirts and blouses!

    The day I go to Manchester is usually about 16-18 hours. Tiring but worth it when I get to meet others from the forum.
    While I drive to Manchester other days I try to use public transport, trains and buses to get me about. I enjoy the interaction of being amongst the muggles and have had many a conversation either while waiting or travelling.

    I do occasionally get the odd day here and there but dressing from home poses it's own problems.

    And to those who've never been out but are itching to do so, look at all the positive posts the forum gets. Pull up yer big girl knickers and get out there.

    You may be correct. I'm out all the time.

    I like reading what everyone is up too. How they incorporate crossdressing.

    I do know some that have told me they have no desire to go out.
    Others because of circumstances cannot go out.
    Others live a big part of their life out.
    Not a race, or a competition just live your life to your rules.

    Unfortunately very rarely. I have 4 daughters, all school age and I don't want them to be bullied because of their dad in a dress. I know children are more accepting but it's the parents that would be the issue. My children (and wife) know I dress and I've been out dressed to the nines with my wife 3 times in 10 years (if you don't include going to rocky horror in costume).
    I do wear women's jeans and t-shirts and gym leggings. Sometimes flats or boots. Wish I could do it more but money comes into it when you've got to travel outside your home area. Tend to go to Manchester, canal street but not into the mainstream bars nearby (wife uncomfortable if I get hassled).

    When my wife was still working I had the opportunity to be en femme seven hours a day when she worked. We are fully retired when has put a damper on being fully en femme. When our daughter lived in Chicago and her cousin in Arizona she'd be away for seven to ten days. That's when I ventured out in the evening for drives which ended up in evening strolls. At the time it felt fulfilling. But, in the end it was a case of just walking my feet off. I have never been a guy to hit bars and night clubs or walk malls aimlessly. To do things en femme that I do not do en drab does not click with me. I found being fully en femme at home and doing all that a woman or man would do was more fulfilling. I got things done that needed to be done.

    At one time I probably needed a social group, but, once I got my head screwed on right that did not even seem fulfilling. The motivation to hang out with fellow cross dressers just because they wear a dress is no longer a motivation.

    I would love to go out dressed on a regular basis; but, I don't see that happening. I am going to start being a bit braver in that any times my wife will be gone for 6 hours or so, I will dress and drive 25 miles or so from our home and just get out to shop, dine, and mingle. That 6 hour window is probably a once every 2 months type of thing - if I'm lucky.

    I pretty much never take the time and trouble to get all dressed up, unless I am going out somewhere. I go out day and night to all kinds of places. Most of the time it is to have a meal with one of my crossdressing friends or running some simple errands. I go out probably an average of 4 or 5 days every month.

    I go out dressed about twice a month to run errands, do grocery shopping, have lunch and/or dinner at a nice restaurant, visit tourist sights, etc. My wife always joins me. We enjoy our time out as "girlfriends" and have always been treated well by others.
    I honor my wife's request that I not post pictures.

    I am now spending 5 or 6 days per week out fully en femme. In addition to clothes shopping at all the stores CD's frequent, I go food shopping, to the library, restaurants for lunch or dinner, the county tax office, my podiatrist, a casino resort, local parks, art galleries, museums - pretty much anything & everywhere. I absolutely love presenting Fiona to the world.

    I go out whenever I have an opportunity to do so. Typically, I am en femme most of the time. Whenever I travel, I usually travel dressed.
    As a long time CD, I've run the gamut of those early years, struggling to achieve the most femme appearance that I could.
    Here I am umpteen years later...as my attitude towards 'going out' has changed a lot. Now, I'm just being the best version of myself...whether 'en femme' or 'en drab'.
    And I'm comfortable with this. Over the years I've refined my look, made several adjustments in my physical appearance, attitude and presentation.
    I've managed to blur the lines between male and female, somewhat. My hair is now past shoulder length. I've gained a few inches on my hips and ass, have a waistline and I can fill a B-cup!
    Dressing is so very much easier now.

    Recently, I've been traveling. I stopped at In-n-Out. I checked my hair, makeup and clothes. I walked inside and got in line. Yes, a few people looked at me, but barely a glance as people will stay within THEIR OWN private realm...not yours.
    Yes sometimes you will be clocked, and then most times you won't. Just own the moment. Be as lady like as possible, do your homework, get into your personal femininity, feel the moment, bask in it, but be CONFIDENT out there!

    I feel exactly the same. I don?t care what the world thinks but impact on loved ones is different.

    In my case I'm closeted because pretty much my entire wardrobe is lingerie so it would be silly to go out in that lol. If I liked other clothes would I go out? Hard to say, and I do wear panties out but I'll be staying closeted unless wearing romantic lingerie in public ever becomes socially acceptable.

    I dress up on my 2 days off almost every week. Sometimes just to run my errands. I'll usually go out to a bar at least one of the 2 days for karaoke. I've been to the Dr and Dentist dressed.

    Not sure how you define regularly. I do go out dressed but I wouldn't say its common, but I am comfortable doing it. I have a couple of events per year I try to plan around, a five day trip to Las Vegas, in and around Halloween, and usually a third time during the year. I usually get my eyebrows waxed, tinted, hair colored, full body wax and a mani pedi with nail extensions. This allows me to go out in longer spurts a few times a year. I will go out to dinner with my wife or friends. In Las Vegas I spent an entire five days en femme. I left the house dressed with no "backup" clothes, including going through the airport.

    I wasn't always this comfortable, but have become more adventurous with age.

    as often as I can. I go to the movies, grocery, shopping, fast food or date nights. at a former job I dressed every day for work. That was great. the job wasn't though so I left. But yeah, any chance I get to go out I'm going to take it.

    OMG! I just got lucky. Later today my wife is leaving home at 10:30 a,m, and returning about 5 p.m. I will be shaved and showered by 11 a.m., dressed with makeup applied (except for wig and lipstick to be put on a few miles from home) by 11:30 a.m., and at ULTA by noon to make an appointment for an October 22nd makeover. Then it will be on to about 3 hours of shopping for a couple casual outfits (jeans and tops). I'll start at a Lane Bryant outlet store, then to a Levi/Wrangler outlet store, then to a Torrid store and any others I find that might have something of interest.
    It's never too late to enjoy a happy childhood.
