Men attractive? Are women really attractive? Thoughts

Hi Maya It all depends on the person.I find men attractive.I like dressing and feeling like a woman.I also find woman attractive but prefer sex with men. Sincerely Robin

I can find both men and women attractive, it's all about what's in the inside anyway, isn't that what we all want?  For people to see past our outer " shell "?

Now, I am aroused by the " feminine ".  " Macho " doesnt do a thing for me.   Without being sexual, which frankly isn't that much of a drive anymore, my attraction isn't just based on whether you have a nice ass and gorgeous breasts, or a penis between you legs.

It's all about you as a person.  Now That's what's attractive.

Hi Maya Either you find men attractive or you do not its that simple.When i was much younger I would go out dressed as cute as i could be. Men found me attractive and i enjoyed their attention for sure. I found out I used men to confirm my gender identity. I never was and still not attracted to men at all. I am so attracted to the female body I can spot a woman from a hundred yards away. When I get the opportunity to meet and talk with woman it draws me even closer. I always have to ask my wife if a particular man is attractive I really do not know. Woman can be so much attractive if they allow themselves to be  more attractive. We can feel so much more feminine and attractive if we allow it. You do not need a man to confirm your gender identity We can get that from just  sharing our thoughts and complimenting each other. I know its the ultimate compliment when it come from a GG  . Just some thoughts                  Luv Stephanie

Why you gotta make things so complicated, acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated. (Avril Lavigne  2001)

I am strictly heterosexual and am not attracted to men, whether dressed or not.

I would say to be careful about using the term "normal sexual attraction" when you mean heterosexual attraction.  It implies that other relationships are "not normal."  While other sexual attractions may be less common, I don't think they are "not normal."

That wasn't my point! I see everyone equal.

Hi Maya,

I think your question revolves around the distinction between sex and gender (which is well-discussed in other threads).  In the entire animal kingdom, other than a portion of the human species, our brains are wired to view the opposite sex as desirable, and the same sex as rivals.  By this standard, your feelings are quite "normal".  Your male side will find women attractive, but your femme side is going to notice, and appreciate the clothing , also.

As for myself, other than a few women who are strikingly beautiful, I find that I notice the clothing first, then the person wearing them.

I have to agree totally with Robin and not ashamed of it

Hi Everyone, Teralynn here. I usually only respond to introduction posts, friend requests and messages seeking assistance, but every once in a while a I receive a forum notification that catches my interest especially when the responding posts are also thought provoking. Until I found out about Teralynn at age 51 I wasn’t interested in crossdressing or attracted to men. But once I did find out I was curious as to what I would look like as a woman. After I satisfied that curiosity the next one was would I be attractive to a man? How could I find that out? The only true way to do this was in my humble opinion was to get all dressed up and have another man give me an honest evaluation! I really didn’t want to show my feminine persona to just a stranger! As if my predicament was acknowledged up above, that same day I got a call from a friend of mine who lived on a farm near Gainesville who had been wanting me to visit him so he could show me his new place. He wanted to know when I could come down. Like a thunderbolt it hit me! My friend Mike could give me a fair evaluation. So I told him I would be right down ( even though it was about an hour and a half away)! So I packed all my feminine attire (including a dress) in a suitcase and off I went. Arriving at his house, he shook my hand, welcomed me and immediately asked what was in the suitcase. I just said something I really want to show you. I asked where his bathroom was, got an answer and then went in and got to work for about 30 minutes! It was a rush job especially with the makeup, but I thought I looked like a pretty good librarian! Then I walked outside and he was sitting on his sofa. When he turned his head and saw me as Teralynn he got up and crossed the floor with his mouth wide open and the most peculiar look on his face. I got a thought that this must be what a woman feels like when a man finds her attractive. He took my hand and led me over to the dining room table and wanted to know everything about my transformation (he would never have taken John’s hand like that)!  I was hoping that he would not stop being my friend and after telling him the whole story he said, “John if I didn’t know you had walked in my front door I would not know who you were that came out of my bathroom.” Then I asked the payoff question, if I looked attractive enough to pass as a woman. He replied, “If I just met you in the Legion lounge I would ask if I could buy you a drink!” My curiosity was satisfied. I hardly ever dressed that nicely again. But now when I go into town to pick up our mail dressed in neon pink leggings and a matching color top and a man passes me by on the sidewalk and smiles, I can’t help but get a warm fuzzy feeling inside. I guess I really don’t look too bad for an elderly librarian! We all have to deal with our crossdressing in our own unique way. Who is to say if one of our ways is better than another’s? Not me! I have my own crossdressing journey to travel and deal with. Hope you all enjoyed my little story! - Blessings from Teralynn

Not into men at all, and I think my drive to dress has always been related to that. As a guy (which most of the time I am perfectly content to be) I could only be confirmed attractive by others which make things very hard, especially when you come from a very disingenuous family! Even if I got in better shape, had a great haircut etc., I'll feel *better,* but not attractive until a woman - ideally my wife, tells me that I am.

Sexually, I have always been curious about men and aroused by the idea of being with one, but I've never found on attractive beyond it being more pleasant to look at one than another when I have to! Even in my young and single days I could sometimes decide "all right, I am totally open to flirting with other guys and seeing where it goes," but I've never seen one that would make me even do it. At times I've been given pretty forward compliments by gay men I've been flattered, but very disinterested. Maybe there was a time or two I regretted not chatting a bit longer, but only for the sake of having the experience, and not having the guy himself.

I love the female body, especially a curvy plus size woman wearing a dress that doesn’t hide her stomach or her ample breasts. Mostly because I wish I could dress that way. When I’m in drab I often want to complement such a woman on her beauty, and then ask her where she got the dress, but never do, as I don’t want to come off as “weird”.

Attraction is an interesting feeling. Heterosexually, it's hard to definitively say what makes certain women more attractive than others. As a CD man, is the attractiveness of a woman different based on her feminine appeal, or how comfortable she may let us feel as a CD. How about other CDs who mostly pass, yet we know, are we really sure about our attraction sensor towards men in general. It's all quite fascinating.

hi ladies, in my case, i have to admit that things are a little bit different, i am attracted to women, only women but with a particular difference, i like feminine  women, but i love women with masculine energy, with masculine attitude, almost a butch lesbian but straight woman, when i observe a woman i like her dress and her figure, but when i observe a women wearing a suit  and pants like a man, my femme side reacts like any woman with a man, i suppose it, i really don´t know, and  when i observe a man i feel nothing at all,  so in my case is the energy which make react in sexual mode,  also i think my feminine energy as felicity is seeking a masculine energy to make  match, but only in women not in men at all, i am a little bit femme you know girls, or maybe a lot, but the question is that i need a  masculine woman to make comfortable my feminine side, one of my major fantasies  is being f*ked by a masculine woman, reinforcing my femme side, so what i already said i think i am a femme, but it is what i am  and i  don´t want to feel  ashamed anymore, its been  enough time to be shamed for my feelings and for being myself hugs felicity

...and kisses a lot for all of you ladies felicity
