We might be rather open-minded compared to catholic countries but places like Berlin, Amsterdam, London, New York etc are more accepting in general.
Have to admit that I am rather doubtful about these stories..... But hopefully someone can prove me wrong because the "concept" is great. |

Rep Power: 2  | Re: Guys - have you ever given this a thought Sorry Thighbootguy, yes this was a typo. I was just too fast.
What I mean with this with me now being dressed in skirt, high heels, wearing make up is, that Iīm still trying to do a good, a proffesional job.
I hope my partners, my colleagues and our clients are happy with me and my work.
Ofcourse this changes, me dressing like a woman has also affected me the way I think, the way I see things.
Ok I donīt mind saying this, I do look upon things the way women (well it feels this way). I am a man but still I feel I have changed my personality a bit. I donīt know how women feels or think, I donīt know how any other living person thinks but I feel I am more and more thinking, see things the way my girlfreind do, the way the women at my office do.
My girlfreind tells me this isnīt a bad thing, I agree with her, why should it. I guess I can do a good job even if I am feeling and thinking a bit more feminine.
Living the way I do it didnīt took me long to see yes its the menīs world out there. Especilly in buisness life.
My girlfreind, my female freinds tells me its good a guy get som experiance of this. I canīt change the world and I donīt have any intention of doing it. I just try telling you how I feel, how it is for me.
Yes Sweden may be more open to people like me, well I hope so. Ofcourse i have met people who had been put off when meeting me, seeing me but all I am hoping for is that they should give me a try. Lissten to me, I no different then anybody. Down deep inside under my make up, my female clothes I am a person. I donīt want to hurt or harm anyone, I just want to live my life.
About the boots. You know living in Sweden at winter the weather can be a bit bad. As you already know, I am wearing skirt mostly to the ofice. During the winter time its always knee high stilleto boots for me, ofcourse I wear my knee high boots whenever I feel for this. When I am wearing jeans, dressy slacks or pants its ankle boots for me.
I have never worn thigh high boots. They sure look good, very sexy on. We might try this me and my girlfreind.
Sorry if I misslead you, hope I put some more light on this. |

Hi!
I more than think about this - I do this just as you do!
a skirt with high heels is actually quite functional as well, it is quite hard to describe but is apparent once you are used to wearing a skirt out and about. (especially a straight or pencil skirt). I am sure you know what I mean!
I wear "female" styled atire on my lower half and "male" styled atire on my top half - but I call it my style. 98% of the time the response is positive or non-existent from bystanders.
I wear knee length to mid thigh length straight or pencil skirts, stockings (not all the time) and ankle jewellery. I more often than not carry a hand bag to match my shoes, tie and/or pocket handkerchief. Sometimes a bold coloured pair of heels on their own is fun. I paint my toenails to compliment my accessories. Half the time I wear pale complimentary shades of high gloss lipstick. I wear italian, tanga or thong style briefs with matching suspender belt (if wearing traditional stockings but I mostly prefer hold up stockings). Most of my underwear is part of a full set but I don't wear bras etc...the only exception being some chemises which have suspenders built in. When wearing stockings I only wear the sheerest of deniers, no more than 10denier, and I always go for a matte finish. I am thinking about getting my ears pierced?!???
I exfoliate and moisturise my legs and feet every day, have a weekly pedicure and monthly full leg wax to maintain my legs.
I do a lot of running to maintain fitness and flexibility in my calves/ archilles tendons as I am aware of and have noticed decreased flexibility from wearing very high heels regularly.
Personally I try to ensure that I am doing a good job of "clashing" the styles. Very dressy female lower half (and high quality personal grooming) just as a classy woman would be along with dressy male attired top half. Everything linked together with some colour coordination.
cheers

Hi, the answer is yes it helps if you are confident and happy with your own look.
I like what I do and I like the look I portray. I also enjoy being a bit of an exhibitionist in some ways. My philosophy is to be as equal to a woman on the lower half as I can be in terms of presentation, and if possible run some competition their way. I try to be equal or better than the rest of the women in a room, ie finer hosiery, silkier shinier bare legs with ankle jewellery, prettier heels, higher and finer heels, skirt hem-line to suit the heel height, cooridinated accessories. I really like it whan a woman is better presented than I am because they are a sight to behold!
I also place as much importance on my movement as I do on the clothing etc... as this is just as vital. I only wear shoes that I am confident I can do anything in, and can move in really well.
I don't won't to portray a clumsy image - and this does not help. If people look at me and think "oh my that is different" - I don't want them to follow it up with "and he can't even walk in those shoes!"
High Heels and femininity are all about grace.

Sounds like you have come to terms with the female component that is within you. Many guys have a female component of some sort, and it is stronger in some than in others. My female component is the creative side of me, where the male component is the one with the mechanical aptitude. This means I can enjoy drawing and painting as well as fixing the breaks on my car. My profession is being a computer geek where the male side understands how the physical machine actually works and the female side loves to write code (I do consider programming both an exercise in engineering and art).
Your post have peeked my curiosity. If Im not to bold in asking, what kind of consulting do you do? I would also enjoy seeing a picture of how you present yourself.
As for thigh boots, I recommend either Pleasers or Ellis 8898 leather thigh boots with a 5 stiletto heel and an ankle zipper. I have three pair in black, white and blue and find them to be very comfortable and they are inexpensive. The thought of you and your girlfriend out and about togeather in jeans and thigh boots is intriguing.
There is another member that, along with his wife, wears thigh boots full time. Iloveboots has some very interesting posts you might enjoy reading.

I am a bit like you, me too I am trying to be as equal as a woman from my waist down.
Yes Heel-Lover me to I try to bbe equal or better then my female colleagues, my female freinds.
As you said, "a skirt and high heels is actually quite fuctional as well", yes Heel-Lover I know what you mean.
I feel good in my skirt and high heels. I feel good in tanga or tonga panties too, this type of briefs, panties fits much better together with my hose and skirts. I feel a bit powerful too being dressed this way in skirt and high heels.
Me too trying mixing the coloure of my clothes, my nolyns ( me wearing pantyhose as my dayly kind of nylons, I have though been out wearing nylons stockings) and my nylons too are the sheerest I can find. Trying mixing my make up, with my heels, with my handbag (me I always caring a handbag) with my outfits. Its fun! I wanted to look good.
Me I always painting my nails, always wearing nail varnish too my finger nails. They quite long and Iīm a bit proud of them so trying to take care of them, trying to protect them I alway use nail varnish trying matching my nail varnish with the rest of my make up.
Using a bit of mascara, eye liner, eye shadow eyeylashes. Fouindation, a bit of rouge, gettin a bit more coloure to my face. In the summer time I use gloss lipstick during the day, then in the evening its a more coloure full lipstink, pink or red.
I always trying to do a good profesional job. Donīt trying my new way of fashion style clash. Being in the minority I know I must be twice as good as my partners, my colleagues.
Yes its a bit like it for women in buisness life, I must be much better then the guys of what I am doing. |

I am working mostly with financial consulting.
Men have as you say "female componet of some sort", I guess this side of my personality is stronger.
I always as long as I can remember liked clothes, fashion. I liked drawing, painting too. Donīt know if I was any good at it but I like drawing. I like reading, I like writing too. As a kid I like drawwing, I liked doing a bit of sewing too.I liked doing things. I liked tyrying my mothers clothes. Hers heels, hers nylons.
She founds out. We had an argument, a lot of crying too. In my my teen ages year I tried to push those feelings away. Trying doing things that teen age guys do. Like riding a motor cycle, doing a bit of sports too.
My father is a great fan of cars, motor cycles and motor racing. He took me too motor racing. To be honest I canīt say I enjoyed it, canīt say I was interested in this but I wanted to give this a try and above all I didnīt let my father down.
I wasnīt any good and of course I couldenīt get this feeling out of my system, my head. I wanted to go back the way I used to be. I had to tell my parents.
It was the best thing I had done. Being open about it telling my parents, my family, my freinds. It was the best thing I have done staring with my new style, starting with my new way of fashion. Dressing as a woman from my waist down, starting putting on a make up, letting my hair grow.
I am man, proof of this is my wonderful girlfreind. I canīt say Tighbootguy the male side of me is understanding how the physical machines works, or how a car is working for that matter. In this case my mind is working the same way as my girlfreind. I am useless on this kind of things and so is she.
Oh I realy realy wich I could understand but I no good at all on this things. As a teen age guy I wanted to knew, I wiched I had this gift of understand all this, I wiched I had this thing knowing about cars, motor cycle, knowin how they works, knowing the thing other guys knew about. I could ride a motor cycle ok but I couldenīt talk about it with the other guys, the way guys do. Didnīt know anything about it.
Guess I didnīt care about this things, in my mind I didnīt cared at all about things like this. To tell you the truth I didnīt cared at all how stong an engine was or how fast it go.
To be honest with you Thighbootguy I am useless on this. To tell the truth if my car broke down I canīt fix it. I can fill it up with petrol but that is all I do except from driving it.
Donīt know if I shall laugh or cry but I am the same as my mother, my girlfreind or my female freinds. I had accept this now. I am the same as most other women, have to accept this.
I canīt fix my car if it breaks down. I canīt do it and I donīt understand how to do it.
When I was younger this was a bit hard to accept, now well I guess the female side of me is showing for everyone to see. Its ok for me asking a guy helping me or my father, helping me with my car or other physical technical things. |
