If a guy is calm and confident, most people will take little or no notice.<BR/><BR/>I tend to be very confident when shopping for female stuff as a man. Sometimes it really is for my wife, but generally I don't care how others react. I was actually quite amused by the odd look that I got from a checkout chick at K-Mart a few weeks ago when I bought 3 covergirl items on a "buy 2 get the 3rd free" deal. The most expensive of the 3 things was for my wife. :)<BR/><BR/>Depending on how nervous a crossdresser looks, generally the best thing to do is just smile as you would to any other woman you don't know. If they don't look too nervous but don't look really confident, it's sometimes okay to say "hi" and just leave it at that. If they're clearly comfortable with what they're doing and the opportunity presents itself, ask for their opinion on how something looks or compliment them on something.<BR/><BR/>Directly approaching a shy or nervous crossdresser and talking to them is generally going to be very frightening for them, because that's what abusive people are most likely to do. Even if you aren't abusive, events like that can be traumatic enough to put someone "back in the closet" for literally years!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17938113045192081875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726562196027210554.post-71127575259218829722009-04-12T11:24:00.000+10:002009-04-12T11:24:00.000+10:00I love reading all this Alice, it's fascinating.Wo...I love reading all this Alice, it's fascinating.<BR/>Would you mind if I asked some questions? <BR/><BR/>I know when I see men shopping for women's clothes/cosmetics etc I usually assume they're shopping for their wives and think it's sweet. <BR/><BR/>When I see cross dressers shopping I think it's cool and want to chat to them (but never do).GlossQueen https://www.blogger.com/profile/06789891604897478651noreply@blogger.com
