feminine males

Society today is filled with a range of different people. These days, when a boy dresses in girls clothing, it doesn't always mean he's gay. So what's everyones thought on this?

I am a "gay" male yet I know a very attractive girl when i see one. I'm suddenly starting to get feelings that I don't feel quite comfy in boys clothes and would like to spread my wings a bit. I don't really want to be a girl and i would never have any operations to change my sex. But more and more i get urges to look more feminine: clean shaven face, long hair, tight/fitted clothes. At the moment i don't quite know how to deal with what i'm going through. I'm a size small chest and size 30 waist, yet girls clothes always seem too short (on all men). I don't really want to wear dresses and stuff, just girl tops and fitted jeans.

I cant seem to tell any of my friends because they wouldnt understand and would think the extreme. Am i being stupid? Can anyone help me out with anything?

Cheers x

Hey go for it :biggrin: You're not being stupid. You are being broad minded and are willing to try out new things, which is to be applauded.

Several shops have women's clothes for 'petite' and 'tall'. It may be worth looking in those. I seem to remember New Look having a range for tall women?

It is a shame you can't confide in your friends about these thoughts although I understand its a big step to do so. But don't let people put you off. You have a right to dress however you wish. If this involves tight girl tops and fitted jeans you do it.

Girls clothes on blokes look daft no matter what. They're girls clothes for a reason. The only people who wear girls clothes who are male are emo's and funnily enough they all look like little weirdos.

There are plenty of options for you to wear as a male, so just try finding something you're comfortable with rather than wearing a frock.
As odd as this may sound, even though I still dig the whole blokey bloke look, I often find myself attracted to feminine men sometimes :redface:
lots of guys wear tight jeans and t-shirts. Not really girls things but still in that kinda direction.

Just go for it mate :top:

No harm in trying and if others don't like it then its their problem, not yours.

Tight jeans on guys look hot, IMO.

That's exactly the attitude that makes people worried to dress the way they want to. How very stereotypical of you :mad:

Totally agreed. People shouldn't just wear certain things or look a certain way because it's "normal".

Nix!

Silly, narrow-minded little child...
Actually, here's an idea for you. Take a look at this picture. That is a picture of a boy called Matthew "Alex" McLendon. Does he look gay to you? Be honest :wink:

Horseriders/Jockeys/Gymnasts/Cyclists/Divers (all the male ones) wear tight clothes/pants.. They still look manly to me.
*shrugs* I'm not for it, just an observation.

Yes :smile:

Ahem, just to elaborate a bit on that....

Back in 1998 Matthew McLendon withdrew from a private school in the US after parents complained about his crossdressing allegedly being a bad influence to younger children at the school (he was apparently threatened to either withdraw or face expulsion). I have a habit of using this picture when issues of crossdressing come up specifically because he looks so feminine, but trust me, it's definitely a heterosexual male :smile:

Oh yes, all jump on the band wagon against my view. It's strange how you all call me the child when you lot are more than likely the 'immature' ones.

Men should not wear women's clothes regardless of sexuality.

My attitude is what stops blokes walking around in frocks is it? Good.

Read the thread starter's post before you start blabbing off then:

OP
I don't really want to wear dresses and stuff


And even if they did, that is their choice not yours. Whether you'd do it (or accept it) should have no bearing on their decision and it is your sort of attitude that is evident in general peer-pressure, not allowing others to express themselves how they see fit.

If the OP is comfortable wearing what they want then I say good on them.

First it's the jeans, then it's the tops, then it's the blouses. Finally it's polka dot dresses and stupid fruit hats.

Women's clothes on men look stupid no matter what way you look at it. Men have a different build and lack the 'features' which define females.

There ARE male clothes available for 'feminine males' so there is no need to resort to dressing in women's clothes. It's not nice to look at and it's not fashionable either.
