So apparently guys think I'm attractive. Ewwwwwww!

Thanks Holly, but I know there are others out there more beautiful than I am.

It happens to me in online video games too! I play female characters, for obvious reasons, and get the same thing. It's just a cartoon avatar for crying out loud, but I still get guys chasing after me, wanting to "help" me to the point I can't even play the game, asking me to be their online girlfriend, etc.

The reaction when I tell them I'm really a guy can sometimes be, um, unpleasant. Online games are known for their toxic players. -sigh- But I have also met a good number of nice folks, who don't even batt an eye, or are playing a female character too, and became friends with them, a couple even long term friends outside the game.

As far as the cheesy pickup lines, some are nice guys who are just socially inept, many are catfishers or scammers (I suspect most are), and some have a fetish for trans/CD, and can be pretty creepy.

It's not just women/CD-T, even as a guy, being bi, I've had more than my share of the same issues. And even using my very masculine screen name elsewhere, I get these guys. In that case I do have a lot of fun with it, especially when I can tell right off that they're a catfisher. 😀

I mentioned this post to the wife, she got a good tickle out of it, and told me some of the worst ones she's heard over the years.
You brightened both our days! -hug-

Well, I'm glad I made your day. I don't mind so much if they are shy, cause I am too. Jessica allows me to not be as shy as my male self is. But some of the people are just weird. I mean one said every guy in the neighborhood would want to take me to dinner to get to know me.and that was on a DeviantArt picture. Seriously, that creeped me out that Jessica is attractive to men.
I get that people can be shy or just creeps, and it is hard to tell. Still though, EWWWWW!

Hi Jessica beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say,

And if someone finds you attractive then go with it, most of us don't consider ourselves as very attractive i know i don't, but they say there is someone out there who does,

There is someone out there for each and everyone of us X

Hi Jessica not the looks that matter its the inner self. Get it alot when out and about. But since I am bi and a guy feel am attractive will thank him or if a girl do same.  Now depending on their attitude and all may go further with them. But right now get the wolf whistles and remarks but not available at present do have a nice gentlemen of a bf that supports me and treat me like a queen.

Hugs

Oh guys can be rude or crude on flirting can do it back or just say not interested.  Always use the inner woman in you. Have the power.

Hi Jessica,

Certainly, shows trolls are everywhere.

Thanks Donna.

They just gave me the creeps with some of the pickup lines.

True, it's just that I know I'm not that good looking. I mean compared to some of the others here, I'm really just average to below average. Yet since I put myself out there on social media it feels like people are seeing me as attractive and it feels weird.

Know what you mean. Know get some make my skin crawl.  If was not a true lady would kick them where the sun don't shine. Have poured drinks on them before trying to grab things didn't ask for.  Just be your self and just avoid those losers and walk away.

What I would consider a creepy man is one who does not understand NO means NO. For me, this is related to refusing an offer of a drink or food when out at a bar or restaurant. Maybe my expectations are too high as to how fast the person should exit upon a refusal. 😁
Most are very, very nice when coming over to initiate polite conversation and offering us(my wife is often with us) something to eat or drink.
The most BIZZARE part, my wife is a 6ft blonde magazine grade model with the longest legs on the planet. However, she is wearing a diamond wedding ring and I am not. This MUST be the reason.
She also receives compliments and "proposals" from men regardless of her wedding ring. Now...that's creepy!

I've had more women flirt with, and proposition me after I was married, some guys too! My wedding ring not only doesn't seem to slow them down, but attract them! Always the wrong sort of person, though.

They do say if wearing a wedding ring seems like a magnet to draw the flirty in.  Seems today society don't follow the I am taken. Move along.

In my experience of interacting with men over the years, I find that there are a few types of man who are attracted to CDs.

First, there's the deeply closeted CD who doesn't have the ability, opportunity, or courage to be a CD and therefore lives vicariously through CDs that he may encounter or chase after. These are usually the most boring and obnoxious guys, because they are persistent yet unexciting, and they want to tell you about how they, too, dress, etc. No thanks.

Second, there's the guy who is open-minded and genuinely finds you attractive. These are the unicorns. They are far and few between, but they are definitely out there. Usually, he is an older man who is much more secure about his identity and orientation. I have dated some fantastic senior gentlemen.

Third, there's the perv who sees a CD as a walking sex toy and just wants to have sex. They are turned on the minute they see you and would want nothing more than to shag you or insert their piece into your mouth right now. These guys can range from amusing to annoying to dangerous. I have been approached by this type at all hours of the day, in vanilla settings like a pharmacy or bank, and while I was dressed modestly and fully blending in. They have great CD radar!

When I first started going out in public dressed, I was not attracted to men at all. I was a hetero guy who wanted to express the woman I felt I had inside. What I discovered over time is that the attention and validation that I received from interested men gave me a high. It made me feel good and, more importantly, it made me feel like a woman. So, I agreed to go on a date, then another, and next thing I was doing all kinds of things with men that I had never given any consideration to. Obviously, this puts me on the spectrum as bi or gay, depending on your perspective. I don't have a problem with it. However, to be clear, I am not attracted naturally to men and don't really enjoy having sex with them but I am definitely attracted to the attention and validation that they provide. Spending time with them and being treated like a lady is amazing, and the sex that often comes with such arrangements is, to me, the price I pay for the satisfaction that I receive from the overall experience.

I can totally relate to everything you said.   The attention is intoxicating and I find myself saying/doing things I never thought I’d do.  No complaints  btw 🙂
