Would you date a man who cross dressed?

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

.... yes. I used to be all cool about this too. Until Izzard demonstrated that it's just a rung on a very grubby ladder.

Howdoyou · 20/04/2023 17:02

No.

Nordicrain · 20/04/2023 17:03

No, that would not be attractive to me.

Same.
All I see now is AGP and I don't want to be part of the fetish.

I don’t think this is the right place to look for a balanced view on this kind of topic. Unless you’re Harry Styles apparently. Pathetic really.

Lemoncakefortea · 05/05/2023 19:42

Big no

mrsharrisgoestoparis · 05/05/2023 19:43

No way it's hard enough dealing with a man never mind one who wants to be like a woman

Bloopsie · 05/05/2023 19:46

Noup.

HaroldeVwilliam · 05/05/2023 20:08

Hell no. It’s not attractive and it’s likely to get worse (see trans widow threads).

Sweetlily99 · 06/06/2023 20:47

No way.

I attended a transgender panel 101 session at work and "met" a person who dresses / identifies as a woman but born and still is a male - (nonidea on all the nuances in language ... there was a huge grid)

Anyway they then spoke about their wife and how supportive she was when he 'came out' and how they are still together

I had so many questions but not for the panelist! I don't understand, they also must be fluid (??? Word??) to start with

RailwayCutting · 06/06/2023 20:47

No

Eddie Izard is an interesting case. I would certainly have dated him in his "These aren't women's clothes, they are my clothes" days.

Bouledeneige · 06/06/2023 21:24

I was asked out by Eddie Izzard back in the day and stayed with him when we were both performing at the Edinburgh Fringe when he was a street escapologist and I was doing stand up. I didn't fancy him in his tweedy trousers and chunky sweaters and I didn't fancy him when he told he cross dressed. I though errr yuck.

In my teens a guy I was having a thing with turned up at a fancy dress party dressed as his sister (she came as him) - I found it a right turn off. Can't for the life of me remember what my outfit was.

Witchcraftandhokum · 06/06/2023 21:38

Yes.

Only if it was Harry Styles

that made me laugh. I was just pondering if I would date Harry. Obviously he wouldn’t be able to resist me!

Masochists 😅

Yellowdays · 06/06/2023 21:44

I doubt it.

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

Rude... I'm bisexual, most of my relationships have been with women. I'm currently with a man. I'm still bisexual, my entire sexuality doesn't change based on who I'm with! That's very heteronormative of you.

StepAwayFromTheBiscuitJar · 06/06/2023 23:31

The one I find weirdest is when a man and women date but the man identifies as a lesbian and the woman as a gay bloke. It's just a heterosexual relationship for all intents and purposes.

LoopyLoo1991 · 06/06/2023 23:40

I've dated girls before.
I guy who wanted to get with me suggested he'd wears a skirt, lipstick, perfume and makeup if it would swing my decision into going out with him.
I just pissed myself laughing. Wasn't apposed to it, just didn't click with that particular guy.

Man who works at the local council wears brightly coloured sundresses in warm weather and has an absolutely stunning female partner.
He sat me down and helped me on a computer sort stuff out and was very pleasant. He did look like a giant buttercup and had hair longer than mine, but once clothes come off think most of us look the same🤔
