Why do crossdressers always dress like prostitutes

[Gusto Brunt]

It's just an observation I have made, from a few guys I know who crossdress to videos I have seen on YouTube.

It's okay for a man to wear women's clothes - they're only clothes for Gawd's sake, but why do these guys always dress much younger than their age?:shrug:

Like guys in their 50s and 60s dressing up in clothes only suitable for a 16 year old, or worst still the majority of crossdressers who dress up and look like prostitutes. Like wearing 6 inch heels, micro skirts and 1980s tops. :joker: Oh and not forgetting the most awful OTT fake wigs.:shocked:

Maybe I am confused but you'd think a guy of say 55 would want to dress appropriately to his age. It looks more convincing that way.

What do others think? :)

If you're talking about Drag Queens then it's on purpose- to make yourself look as flashy and eye catching (and also sort of amusing) as possible because they're mostly in the entertainment industry and in nightclubs lip syncing and dancing etc.

Yeah, I'm not talking about drag queens or the ones who imitate The Rocky Horror show.

I'm talking about middle aged guys who dress up as women to try and look like women but they have no dress sense and end up either dressing as a 16 year old or looking like a fallen woman of the Curb.

I suppose it depends why they're doing it, as to why they don't dress "appropriate to their age" etc. If they're doing it for fun, to be experimental, for a sexual thrill etc then I suppose that might be why, if they're not necessarily trying to pass themselves off as a female version of themselves, then why be restricted by norms of what society deems to be appropriate.

It's only really transexuals who would generally want to wear "appropriate" clothing in order to fit in, which in the vast majority of cases they do (obviously there are some who don't but this is also true of non-transexuals).

So I suppose to counter your question, why shouldn't they?

Yeah you make some valid points. It's just when I see those straight, non trans guys dressed like that, I think 'jeez, you just look so bl***y awful.:joker:

Thanks. :)

Yep, the bag is a giveaway...#mismatch.

its the desire to be like a true lady - but as you can see what they see as a lady is distorted.

Yeah, you'd think a guy who wants to dress up as a woman would want to look his/her best.

Look smart and that. Not like a total %&^.:shocked:

Something like this.

I think you are correct in that a lot of 'serious' cross dressers DO dress in inapropriately young fashion, but I think that this is just part of the fantasy - the 'ideal' image they aspire to which they have in their minds.

I imagined that any aunt of yours Liv would be more like the great Maureen Lipman in her BT 'Bea' character.

[Amy Jade]

Can I just say as a 17 year old myself that person is not dressed in anything somebody my age would wear!

[jennyjuniper]

Eddie Redmayne who did such a fantastic job with the role of Lily, explained that he thinks a lot of men, who are cross dressing for the first time perhaps, go over the top trying to experiment. Much like young girls do, when they go through a phase of glitter, barbie pink and too much of everything.
As they feel more comfortable with dressing as a woman, or if they have a good friend to advise them, maybe they begin to tone it down a little. Still, so long as they are happy with what they see in a mirror I don't suppose it matters.

I think it's a bit like when young girls get let loose on make up for the first time, first bra, whatever... most tend to go a bit wild, mad and then grow up very quickly and look back and cringe once they've found their style and what looks good on them and what doesn't - except when it's mature men who are cross dressing after presumably years of hiding a desire to do so or doing it in secret for years, they've got absolutely no perception of what they look like to other people and as such are acting like young teenage girls without the help of adults and peers to help them not look stupid.

[Z]

Also because it's maybe linked to a sexual desire for young women idk
