@Thucydides-thanks for the courage to speak out. May I ask how old you are? It seems that guys from different generations see things a bit dfferently

Tailboarder: So true. We don't dress up for nothing.

@Vam You said "because I come on here to play diplomacy, not pick up women." That's it exactly. It explains why I stayed in the closet about being female. All my life, I was a girl first and a person second. Finally here I was just another "dude" playing to win.

You too crazyter, I'm curious how old you are.
You have very strong and interesting opinions.

My wife says I flirt with every woman I run across. I am not sure that is true but I did get our dinner and drinks comped once by flirting with our waitress. Yes I was at the table with my wife and she kept hounding me for flirting. That just made me more persistent. In the end we walked out only having to give her a tip...
I doubt I will ever be so lucky again but it is a cool story. The best part is its true.

I feel like gender doesn't actually matter. Dude? Whatever. Chick? Cool. Trans? Whatever floats your boat, but I ain't givin over Bulgaria.

Give me Bulgaria and I'll send you some pics....
LOL
Thucy I still like your sense of humor.

Well if there's ever a place you can be whoever or whatever you want, its certainly the internet. I personally try to be as honest about myself as possible, without giving out personal details or anything like that of course.

Wait Crazyter how did my post explain why you didn't tell people? Because you wanted to be seen as just another guy on here?

vamo: Absolutely. Hell, I've created alternate identities of myself on the internet. But it's great to be who I am and be accepted.

This is the kind of stuff that gets me in trouble irl. The reason I know it works is cause I get into bad situations just for being me. I cut up a lot and say some outlandish things. I flirt with my wife right next to me. One of her students asked who I was when we were at a wedding once. Her student wanted to ask me out. LOL My wife got so mad at that girl...

She got mad? Why not be thankful to have such a stud like yourself as a husband tailboarder?

Alternate identities???
Like what???
I hope you don't crusade around as some innocent chick then gets information to case my house or anything...
That would be kinda foolish to tell me about the whole plan...

Oh yeah she got mad. She didn't tell me about it until we left. What would you do if some dude came up to you and asked who your date was so they could ask her out???

That's the thing with overly jealous people. They tend to think too quickly and don't see the big picture. Makes them regret it later.

Like I to pretend to be a guy named Vincent. For no reason.

I don't think the girl knew I was her husband. I think she saw us talking and when she was alone she asked...

What girls ohh my gawd what are those (pushes up his glasses)?

Tailboarder,

I wouldn't mind as long as long as she rejects the offer...

Vincent???
Like from that old TV show beauty & the beast???
I like to role play too but I never swap gender...

Depends, if it was my wife I would be proud, or if it was a serious gf I would be proud too. Actually, if it was just a hot girl I happened to be with I wouldn't be mad either. I figure if I'm with a hottie, and she leaves for some guy who just walks up to her, then I shouldn't lose any sleep over it.

I can understand your wife's school of thinking, but its not how I see things.

Not that I'm a date stealer or anything, I just wouldn't be pissed off if somebody was commenting on how hot the girl I was with was.

I am in love with that show! Surprised anyone knows about it.

@ StevenC. - I would have to agree with you.

So that is where you got the name???
It just fit when you said you mascarade...

I guess I am telling my age...

@vamo ..."you wanted to be seen as just another guy on here?"

Yes, as just a regular ordinary person on here, judged solely on whether or not I could steal your Bulgaria

@473 I never created any altenate identity of myself. I just never overtly stated I was female. But as you put it, "it's great to be who I am and be accepted." This is one of the few places on earth where I feel you can really do that!

My girlfriend has gotten asked out before, even when I was right there holding her hand. Didn't bother me one bit and yet it bothered her(She was very annoyed actually). I guess I took comfort in seeing the guy's face when he was rejected. Hehe...

That's not where I got my name, Vincent is simply my favorite name. I don't know why. But the show is phenomanal.

Crazyter: Absolutely. I love the atmosphere here.

Happened to me too StevenC. and I personally took it as a compliment. The best was calming her down afterwards in the midst of her swearing escapade.

As for you Crazyter, Idunno who you've been hanging out with, but I feel sorry for you because you can't express who you really are.
