I really love that some guys look at women's clothing and think "oh that's more interesting"
I totally agree. My wardrobe is gigantic cause there are so many things you can do.
More men should just wear whatever, tshirt and jeans is really getting boring, isn't it.
Yes! I use to be a shirt and jeans person. Then one day I realized jeans made of denim aren't all that comfy. And I could dress up more! And that actually there's all kinds of stuff out there I can look good in.
I just need some of that confidence of yours, though. Maybe I'll do a full dress-up on halloween first, so people don't ask too much, because my god, do I not have the nerve for questions.
Halloween is the best time to try out dressing up!
Will definitely need someone to help with makeup, because if I do it, I'll go all out.
On that note, my inner excitement when thinking about going full femme speaks volumes
I didn't really learn make up until late in life, like my late 20's. But I only learned after watching several youtube videos and instagram too. I'd totally recommend just watching people put on make up and imitating what they do. It really is just painting your face by tracing the outlines of your bone structure.
I'm always excited to be hyper femme lol
I just want to thank you real quick for being so encouraging, it really means a lot to me.
Talking about it like it's the most normal thing in the world is still something I have trouble with, there's probably lots of internalized stereotypes going around that head of mine.
So thank you, really. It helps a lot.
No problem! I guess I have kind of ulterior motive though. I just like when guys are more interested in being femme in general. So of course I want to encourage it to be more normal.
You should. No reason to call it an ulteriour motive when people have expressed the interest themselves already
Sometimes they just need a little nudge. Or a big one. Either way, keep doing what you do, you're awesome
Thanks and I will!
