I don't believe all hope is lost.


While the deck may be stacked against you, that's not to say that you're destined to be alone for the rest of your life, either.

It is certainly possible to find a GG who *is* cool with it all, or at least to some degree.


But it's not entirely on her, of course. How the CD'ing plays a role in your life is also a factor.

For example, if you have this frequent need to get completely dolled-up (and I'm talking like *everything*) & head out into the world on a regular basis? Your chances will probably go way down.


However... If you're genuinely content with omitting a lot of things in a certain vein, it may not be so bad.

Do you *truly* need the make-up? The wig? The fake boobs & hips? The fake nails? The perfume? All that kind of stuff?

Or, are you able to incorporate the dressing, perhaps as GG's do with men's clothes? (And yes, despite what some may claim, that happens quite often with them, especially with the younger crowd.)


If you can "guy-mode" it, and still have it look pretty good/natural? Then you're probably opening up that door that much wider.


Personally, these days I look like I do in my avatar, only once in a blue moon. While I do own a wig & some make-up, very rarely are they worn. And even then, it's nothing else... Just the clothing from the GG-side that I wear in guy-mode. None of the other extra frills mentioned above. And I do keep it behind closed doors these days (the past is a different story ).

I don't know how "deep" you go with the CD'ing, but have you tried experimenting with your presentation? For example, if you tend to stick with short femmy dresses, hose & heels, why not mix it up a bit? How about leggings, a hoodie & running shoes, instead? Or, even mix & match from your women's & men's wardrobes? Heck, there are times when I'll simply wear all men's clothes, except for some no-show socks & a pair of GG running shoes with a good amount of hot-pink in them.


Am I presenting as a woman when I do this? Nope. I look like a guy. (Some may say perhaps a bit of a "swishy" one, but whatever.) But the fact remains: I'm looking like a guy, no mistake about that.

And I do believe more GG's may be more receptive to that, relatively speaking. You're basically casting a wider net, than you would if you were going "full out."


Anyway, you mention that you enjoy wearing hose/tights (hopefully with shaved legs?). I know of guys out there who do wear these, in public, at that -- yet everything else is from the men's department. Does it work for them? Yep. They just happen to really like them -- just as some GG's do. So, they wear 'em! Oftentimes with shorts. If that's their thing, then all is good.

Like I said, there's nothing wrong with experimenting with one's presentation. The possibilities are almost endless. It doesn't have to be either full-blown guy, or full-blown female. A GG may be genuinely fine with you wearing women's leggings, for example (even if it's just around the house). A bit out of the ordinary, sure... But perhaps much more acceptable & understandable, than, say, going the whole 9 yards in the full female get-up.


Hope that helps a bit!
