More Than You'll Ever Know

Amen to that!!! Which reminds me, I have a date with the razor tomorrow we i get home from night shift!!! LOL

Lana, I hope you plan on putting some hose on those freshly shaven legs.

Robin, I hear ya!  I work with a lot of cis women who have stated something similar.  I have learned to smirk inwardly. 🙂

Good for you Bobbi!!

Those moments always leave me want to interject. I'm surrounded by GG's who I just wish I could join in their female banter.  A girl can dream.

Hi Robin,

I always have to bite my tongue when GG's start complaining about this stuff.  She's bitching that she can't wait to get home and take off her bra, and I can't wait to get home and put mine ON!

What i perfect intro to opening a new level of your relationship. Perhaps, she has already figured you out and is trying to gently open a conversation about girl things.

I highly doubt it. Thi particular coworker is way too wrapped up in herself.

I hear what you girls are saying.  I work security in the local regional hospital here.  There are at most 4 males on the graveyard shift, me and 3 str8's.  I am constantly amused at some of the comments I overhear from the nurses and other female staff about their shoes or bra, etc.  I just think to myself, put a little more time in shoe shopping and stay out of the Wal-Mart shoe dept., and go and have a PROPER bra fitting, and do it at 2 or more businesses to make sure they are doing it right and agree in their findings, and your bra will NEVER be mean to you.  I can wear most no-wire or sports bra's under my body armor vest without notice, and I can pull a 12 hour shift and my bra is just as comfy as when I put her on.

Hi Robin,

Thats pretty funny I have had similar experiences.
It definitely makes you want to say something doesn't it.

Sometimes you just want to say I would give anything to be in your shoes and have to shave my legs all winter and wear those uncomfortable bras all the time.
what I would give to have my feet ache from wearing those heels all day.

cute story Robin Thanks for sharing
I love it

Robin, you story (and many of the replies) made me laugh and sigh.

Laugh because it's funny that the woman had no idea how much you understood.

Sigh because living closeted I [we?] have to be careful about what we say, lest we out ourselves. Yes, I understand that for some such openness is doable, but for me at least it isn't. But inwardly in the situation Robin described how I cry that I can't enter into the conversation more fully - girl to girl.

I find the same hesitancy when complimenting a woman on her - well whatever catches my attention as the femme me. For example there is a lady at church who wears a pair of 👠 (3"+) that to me, are to die for.  I hurt inside every time she wears them and I know I can't. But I have yet to say, "Oh, *** I absolutely love your shoes. Wherever did you find those." or "that dress is sooo perfect for you" while lightly touching her forearm or giving her a hug."

Sigh - such is the life, apart from radical change, that I choose to live.

Hi Charlene,

I totally hear ya hon. I would have loved to have a little girl talk wih her. I did briefly ponder telling her but decided not to. I didn't want to out myself.

I often see women who I want to complement on their nails or shoes or makeup. I just bite my tongue. I can see how an innocent comment like, "that's a pretty color on your nail," can sound creepy coming from a guy.

Hugs,
Robin

Hi Robin,

At times I have complimented a cashier or someone who is a stranger to me about their nails, hair, an item of jewelry etc. I smile and make the comment often times involuntarily, without even thinking about what I am saying because I so sincerely like the artistry. Normally they return a sweet smile and a thank you. It makes me feel so happy to have complimented them. For a fleeting moment I feel like I am speaking to them as girl - to - girl, yet that moment is brief, femme me gets tucked back away and I feel so let down that I was unable to pursue our exchange further.

But such exchanges are with strangers. I could never do so with ladies I know without, I suspect, making them uncomfortable. Alas I don't. I choose to endure the discomfort of not saying anything instead.

oh yea, i love when GGs talk about all their girly things they do and look at me saying, but you don't have to worry about that or you'll never understand.. and in the back of my mind i am thinking IF you ONLY Knew LOL .. and deep down I am jealous that they can do it and talk about it so openly. IF it was just more acceptable by society that men could where women shoes, i know i would even in male mode.
