Would you date a man who cross dressed?

Compatible in most ways but they admitted from the beginning they cross dressed. Would you?

Stonewall may be the hated group du jour, but they don't hold the copyright on words. Might as well take issue with 'queer', when lots of non-straights like it just fine.
Some really nasty, frothing hatred on this thread, but those posters aren't phobic. Course not🙄

Oooh we got “frothing”!! I only need “hysterical” and “harpy” for my bingo card!!!

NutellaEllaElla · 07/04/2023 06:44

Ew no. There's just something really gross about it. And as someone else said above, it's not about the clothes per se. David Beckham in a sarong a million years ago was hot. Maybe it's because he retained smouldering masculinity.

Justalittlebitduckling · 07/04/2023 07:28

I personally wouldn’t. Maybe I’m close minded/ judgemental but there you are! It would be such massive turn off.

When you say queer, do you mean gay or, "spicy straight".

Lol What is spicy straight?

My current partner has a vagina. Technically I am pansexual. I don't care what is between someone's legs. Is that gay enough or too straight?

Pansexual?! FFS.

You are either gay, lesbian or bisexual. Humans are one sex or the other.

Spicy straight is when you have two people who say they’re gay/queer/whatever - a man and woman - but are together. Ie a straight couple. But call themselves queer to sound more interesting. Ie a spicy straight

NO NO NO

My.partner.is a transman.
Please do not be rude about my sexuality. It's uncalled for.

No!!

Catsmere · 11/04/2023 00:49

Never.

StepAwayFromTheBiscuitJar · 11/04/2023 00:57

I'd absolutely be turned off. That said, I'm surprised the majority on here agree after all the posters I've seen who believe that boys should be able to wear dresses etc.

ThinWomansBrain · 11/04/2023 00:59

I'm not looking for a relationship, but a close trans friend is possibly one of the most attractive people I know, and brilliant company - so if I was looking to be in a relationship, yes, definitely.

TUCKINGFYP0 · 11/04/2023 01:02

It’s a hard no from me.

@HermioneKipper You don't seem to understand the difference between gender and sexual orientation.
Who wants to live in your bigoted world order?

pomegranatelover · 11/04/2023 02:00

No. Cross-dressing in men is mainly a humiliation fetish thing. It's not attractive to me so we just wouldn't be sexually compatible.

HRTQueen · 11/04/2023 02:12

No

not something I find in anyway attractive or want to be involved with

I have no interests in any fetishes or want to explore them

A man who identifies as a woman and fancies men is still a gay man - i.e. a biological man who fancies other biological men. They're not a lesbian unless they're a biological woman.

ashitghost · 11/04/2023 02:21

Big fat no.

HRTQueen · 11/04/2023 02:27

I’ve just remembered my ex trying on my brand new knickers (they were part of a set)

I was looking for them and he said maybe they are under the covers

Innocently I looked and shocked to find the were and on him and he had stretched them out with his boner 🤢🤬I wasn’t amused or pleased and certainly not aroused

knickers went in the bin and I finished our relationship and I never replaced the knickers so didn’t have that set

its just not my thing

Supernova23 · 03/04/2023 12:19

Jeez, I wasn't expecting to come back to over 300 replies LOL. I've blocked him. I asked him about it and it and it involved fake breasts and wigs. Sorry, but just no. I like a man to be a man. If I wanted to get with someone with breasts, I'd date a woman with actual breasts. Any normal men out there?

Ugh, no to this.

I would have been ok in my youth with a goth boyfriend who occasionally wore a frilly blouse and eyeliner.

Nowadays? Not a hope in hell. Especially because like your second post suggests I'd suspect it was a precursor to wanting to do it all the time.

Gender is made up nonsense.

Sex is what matters.

Bigoted for believing in reality? Of course!

It's not that people don't 'understand' gender, it's that it's of no relevance to anyone beyond the individual. Be whatever gender identity you god damn please, it doesn't matter. Sex is what matters outside of yourself.

Why are you surprised? Did you think children should be encouraged to express themselves based on what we find sexually attractive in adults?

Not really, but if I had a son I wouldn't let him wear dresses. I know people think it's some kind of gender equality thing but in the real world it's just bonkers.

Why wouldn't you let him wear dresses if he wanted to?
