Would you date a man who cross dressed?

[Supernova23]

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

Hell no. Not unless you're attracted to narcissistic men with a fetish for pretending to be women.

No.

Whose clothes? Yours ? . His mum’s ?

Does he go and try them on in ‘mixed gender’ changing rooms?

I think you can guess this would not be at the top of my dating prospect list.

Well it's clear from these posts that any man who is even a little bit gender non conforming is a total freak and raging pervert.

Perhaps we should return to pre-war dress codes - all these women walking around wearing trousers and men's shirts, my word. Men must only wear trousers and women must only wear skirts.

I don't believe in gendered clothes, so I don't really care what anyone wears.

No. Never. Google “auto gynephilia” then run 1000 miles in the opposite direction.

No

No way. I’ve known 2 Cross dressing men (no romantically) and both had the morals of an ally cat deep down and that’s me being nice. Hell to the no!

Definitely not.

No, because it is something I find a massive turn-off. Also, I would worry that they might be an autogynephile and that most certainly isn't a quality I find attractive, nor something/someone I want to be around.

Not a chance

Spurs fans 🤣🤣🤣

I think most posters (me included) are thinking of the traditional transvestite look. The whole looking like someone’s badly dressed dotty aunt rather than a Harry Styles type dressing.

This!

It very much depends on everything else about the person.

No never.

No, of course not

No.

Jeffrey Marsh completely killed that vibe (if there ever was one) <shudders>.

It's just about possible depending on what you mean by cross dressing and the context that they did it in. If I really liked him I would date a man who dressed in traditionally female clothing some of the time, or a man who had a side hobby that involved cross dressing, like being part of the Rocky Horror show or something like that. It would have to be nondemeaning or mocking towards women, and be more about the types of clothes that they personally choose to wear, and the type of appearance they personally desire in this context. I don't care much about clothes in general so it wouldn't really bother me.

If it were a kink, then absolutely not. I have no sexual interest in a man dressed in female clothes. In general, I wouldn't date anyone who was heavily into role play or dress up as a sex thing as I don't like it and wouldn't want to feel like they're missing out on the type of sex they prefer. Also if they claimed it was somehow reflecting of an inner self I wouldn't date them because I wouldn't want to date someone who thought they were a woman.

Where are you in the story OP? Are you having the dilemma?

Absolutely fucking not, not in a million years. If I walked in my husband wearing my clothes marriage over!!

I did and I never would again. Their needs supplant all others, they’re inherently selfish.

Is cross dressing always sexual?

OP more context would be needed.

If he simply dresses in both men's/women's clothing from day to day to go out and about, then it's up to you of course, but it would make me at all of the 'ick' comments.

But if he's prancing around like Buffalo Bill in private mouthing 'would you fuck me? Id fuck me' in the mirror, it would again be up to you, but that would be a step over the line into sexual boundaries that make me uncomfortable

No never,it would honestly be a big turn off for me.

Harry Styles reading this thread in tears because mumsnetters don't want to date him.

No.
Happy to be married to a Scot who wears a kilt though!

No.
