Sometimes I live in the city, sometimes I live in the town

I'm an other.  I live in a very rural area, with some access to urban amenities within a bit more than an hour, and city life within 2.  Problem is, really no way to shop for clothes except online, and sizing is such a problem.  I wouldn't have it any other way though, so I'm going to stick with other - rural but access to urban amenities.  Now, back to some web shopping, it would be so nice to shop in a store ....  Sigh.

I am a small town person at heart I grew up in a small little town and only moved to the CITY when I was 11.
I still miss it and in my secret heart hope to return to a small town once again........but there’s still plenty of personal work Rei needs to take care of.

I have lived in both small and large. Born and raised in a small town <2k, college in medium <50k. Started adult life back in small home town. Married and moved to city, lived and worked for 30+ years in city. The advantages of the city are well known, anonymity, shopping, entertainment and cd opportunities. The disadvantages are just as well known, security, cost, crowds and traffic.

Retired to a different small town. Really liked the quiet, slow pace but cd was not a public option if you didn't want to become the talk of the town. Of course it you are brave you can flaunt it, I wouldn't then but I've moved to a medium city now. If I visit friends in the small town now I always go en femme.

Now living in a medium city. It is a good mix of small and large. Plenty of shopping options, entertainment, anonymity amongst the (small) crowds, quiet neighborhood (houses are a bit close together but ok), medium expenses. The exciting part is the surprisingly large rainbow community that is open, visible and accepting. It has made being out in the open, fully dressed comfortable. I really like it here so far.

Although I haven't lived there for over 35 years, those mountains will always be home. I grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee, population then maybe 150000, then joined the navy. Lived in San Francisco for a while in the 80s. These days I wish I had been a CD then! What an opportunity I missed. Anyways, that was big city life. I sorrento most of my navy career on aircraft carriers, each with a population of about 5000 in a seriously small area, where I learned about the anonymity of a crowd. Now I live in Hampton Roads, Virginia, which is not a city on a map, but an area. There are seven medium sized cities surrounding the largest natural harbor in North America, and housing the largest naval base in the world. The traffic is a nightmare (even compared to the California Bay Area), but there's that anonymity wiring for me as a CD. Plus the arts, shopping, restaurants... something to do anytime... when there isn't a pandemic going on...I would kind of like a smaller town, but only if there's a big city opportunity within about an hour. But if not...I think I'll need at least fifty to a hundred thousand to stay lost in. Bridgette had learned that anonymity in crowds is the safest place to be a CD.

I live in a rural area where the nearby towns populations are measured by triple digits, and I like it.  I agree, that is not the most desirable place to venture out, because if you walked into a local business, EVERYBODY would know you, and that probably is not what most of us desire.  Most folks really don't care about your personal business, as long as you don't force it upon them.  If you were to go to a more populous area and venture out dressed, you may garner some looks, but NOBODY knows you, and that, is a huge difference.

Living in a medium size town. I would love to live in a small quiet town.

To say I’m astounded by the small-town or rural orientation would be an understatement.  Who knew that our extraordinary propensities would be so grounded?  From another perspective, city dwellers are often (generally) thought to be more open minded.  That could simply be that they are more permissive.  Maybe the ordinary people in this world are more insightful regarding our individual characteristics?   Maybe they are better prepared to accept people where-they’re-at?  Perhaps the city dwellers relish the controversy of non-traditional gender behavior more than they truly accept the individuals and allow them the level of privacy they desire?  Most of us are not making statements; we’re just enjoying femininity.  Although I’m the big city type and have enjoyed my anonymity, maybe I’d be better accepted in the heartland?

I live in a pretty busy area, but being shy (or just awkward as my wife would say, lol) I think I would thrive more in a quieter area with more open space to breathe. Would just love to relax and take walks in quiet countryside surroundings enfemme without fear of the whole neighbourhood noticing.

It is large town/city life for me. If it doesn’t have sidewalks it isn’t for me. I don’t even feel comfortable walking on grass just feels unnatural to me. I guess like most bigger cities we have our neighborhoods and I live about three blocks from one of the largest parks in the country so if the desire to see nature such ever occurs I can see it safely from my car. We have warnings about hawks attacking small dogs and coyotes attacking pets in peoples yards in the central corridor of the city and deer within the greater city area. So I guess the worst of both worlds.

I have never lived in a small town or city and never want to, as an international truck driver for over 40 years I've probably visited every town and city in western europe and a few in eastern Europe,  I was born in a very small village in the heart of rural Shropshire with about 30 houses deep in the country side,  this is where I was born and lived all my life and this where I'm going to die, ,  God bless you Shropshire  I will never leave you
