In the space of about 5 days I was constantly complimented on how awesome I am, how great my music taste is, I was invited out for coffee and drinks by men AND women on a daily basis, I got into very long, interesting conversations about all sorts of subjects, I was told multiple times that I have the most interesting profile on the site. I felt happy… I felt like I was finally a proper person.
Now I'm not transgendered. So I'll have to accept this is just how life works. But it's amazing to me that the only thing standing between me having a rich, full social life and being a complete basement dweller is being born male. That's seriously all there is. None of those people would have cared about me if I was honest about my gender. None of them.

>>7781Yo, speaking from experience, guys can totally wear cute clothes and get loadsa compliments and shit from women. There are some people who aren't okay with it though, but women get a lot of bad responses to their looks too ("slut", sexual harassment, general obesity shaming when not wearing blobbish clothing, etc).
Also plz don't say women have life easy just because they're allowed more freedom in clothing. It's really not the case. And women are
expected to dress nicely,
for us men; it's not easy to get past that and dress for your own enjoyment.
Though if you did more literally mean that you're jealous of the attention - it's much easier to realize that a lot of the attention isn't positive.
No.7787
>>7785>women are expected to dress nicely, for us menThis is definitely not true. Women dress nicely for other women.

Not men.
No.7788
>>7787In America, girls are raised taught how to best please men. Women keep each other looking nice enough to not be a shame to their gender, but not quite nice enough that they look nicer.

>>7788If it is of interest I'm ABC (American-born Chinese) and my mom often pressures me and shames my appearance to try and encourage me to look pretty and presentable, lose weight, etc. According to her,if I don't marry a nice man and have his children, I will die unloved and alone. She also used to tell me things like "this is the reason why you have no friends" and "this is why no one likes you" to talk about how I'm fat and ugly and don't dress up nice enough for other people. So I guess it's technically girl-girl interaction involved, but it's also pretty dude-oriented, at least this being from my personal experience. I'm sure like most things it's different for every person, because y'know humans tend to be fairly different in their experiences.
(Unrelated: I'd fucking give my arm to be able to pull of dude clothes. I hate shopping for my female body. I hate shopping and ending up with dumb girly clothes that show all my skin everywhere.

>>7796Women do get more attention. The problem is that you shouldn't necessarily be jealous of it. A lot of times they're viewed as women-objects rather than individuals with valid things to say, as well as receiving a lot of harassment. If you really want that kind of attention, that's okay; just respect that a lot of people don't.
>>7797Bwahaha, sorry. I guess it's not a term that gets used much!
Basically, I just don't give a shit about gender roles, and don't want to be a part of either.
I don't feel like I identify with anything resembling a set gender, so I'm not "third gender" or anything like that.
I never feel different regarding my gender, so I'm not gender fluid.
You could call me genderless or agender with enough accuracy, but I think gender neutrality is an easier identity for others to understand.
I dress in girls' clothing, I dress in guys' clothing, indiscriminately. I don't even go for a particularly androgynous look, I just go with whatever looks good (and fits my mood ofc).
Does that make sense?

I get this sinking feeling that I'm going to regret ever getting involved…>>7751Keep in mind that essentially all of those complements you received are entirely hollow, sent only out of a desire to flatter you, secure a date with you, and gain access to the interior of your pants. I certainly wouldn't use them as any kind of indicator about what people honestly think of your personality. Also:
>using dating websites to estimate how your social life would goI expect better from you, Anon. The foulest and most desperate excuses for human beings swarm those websites, making them wholly unrealistic (and unusable for their intended purpose, IMO).
At any rate, if you decide to make another account, please update us.
>>7781>I'm jealous of all the free attention you seem to get just by being female. They have life on easy mode.Well, of course; who wouldn't be jealous (or envious, rather) of that? I myself would love to be ogled at by tons of passing males (including figures of authority and people whom I'm told that I'm supposed to be able to trust), knowing that they're fantasizing about doing all sorts of perverted, disgusting things to my body – likely without my consent and without any thought of whether or not I'd enjoy it – without the slightest consideration of the fact that, despite my female body, I'm a human being just like them.
Moreover, it'd be delightful to be approached by countless individuals of all shapes and sizes, knowing that, in at least 80% of those cases, the attention being given to me is not out of genuine curiosity about who I am as a person, but rather out of a basal, hungry desire to have free reign over my body, or to "own" me by having me as a girlfriend. But what does it matte if they aren't interested in who I am? The important thing is that I'm receiving tons of attention, and that I can always have a boyfriend whenever I want thanks to my female body; therefore, life will never be difficult or unpleasant for me, since, as we all know, being in a relationship – or, more specifically, having lots of steamy sex; the health of the relationship is irrelevant in comparison to the presence of regular sex, regardless of my enjoyment of it – and getting plenty of attention from the opposite sex are the keys to a happy and content life.
>>7791As far as shopping for male clothes go, I typically wear relaxed jeans with a belt and a baggy T-shirt, with or without thermal underclothing depending upon how cold it is outside. It's not exactly fashionable or flattering, but I daresay it'd work for pretty much anyone.
>>7799I feel you there. I'm biologically male, but I don't identify with any gender; if anything, I'm a computer program running on an intricate, fleshy computer (i.e. a brain). Being a particular gender is an utterly foreign concept to me. And, as you can tell from my clothing recommendation above, I dress androgynously in the sense that I choose neither male nor female fashion.

I hate this shit so much and it's so fucking common but everyone keeps acting horrified when it's pulled back to be seen by everyone else. Every girl's got a horror story, some death threats, some catcalling, some borderline sexual assault, something. At least that's just my experience overhearing other women talk about the lovely, /awesome/ "attention" they get that anon seems to be jealous about.
>>7792Where I live, employees will physically refuse to allow me to use the changerooms in the male sections of stores, which means if I want to try on clothes I have to walk all the way to the other side of the store, sometimes on another floor to the "girl" section to try on new clothes. I'm pretty sure it sucks for dudes who want to try girly clothes too. Why is society so into separating the genders? Gender fluidity is becoming more and more prevalent, hell even the concept of gender as a gradient rather than a black/white is becoming more popular.

No.7808
>>7807> I don't even know why these differences still remain as entrenched as they are.They are the foundational blocks of what constitutes a person. It's the first thing anyone ever says about a person (It's a girl! It's a boy!), it's 'inherent' in most language (he/she), nevermind languages like Spanish and French which assign a gender to things without it (le lit 'bed' masculine, la mesa 'table' feminine). It is/was the dividing line between so many jobs, hobbies, tastes, pieces of clothing, speaking styles, mannerisms, word choices, etc.
It's the basis for "correct" voice pitch, whether you keep your legs open or closed when you sit, how much you're allowed to talk before being considered rude, the proper length of your hair, and a million other crazy specific things.

My personality was shaped by my experience here and only in circumstances like this here do I talk about who I really am. I don't need a gender for anything really.I can so most of that for myself as well, though I suppose it doesn't really matter if I don't feel some intense internal need to identify as anything because nobody else cares and I seem myself as being rather unapproachable and definitely not "cute".

Girls wearing pink and boys wearing blue is not a reason why people are forced into a black and white notion of gender and have it define their lives.
It is an example of that.
It is meant to illustrate that, as you said,
gender is used to define lives. That's why gender is so entrenched. That's why it's so hard to change.

Eh, I actually met my girlfriend on a dating website and she is the most level-headed, honest and overall decent person I've ever come across (plus she's cute). She really isn't what most people expect from an "Internet date".
She's the one who actually initiated first contact. I wasn't often approached by women there (maybe 3 times in a month) but I had no trouble getting an answer from those I contacted first despite not having the typical jock profile, and I'm pretty sure that beats the tens of messages girls on these websites must receive every day, most of them from inane idiots or desperate guys looking for a quick fuck.
I'm quite good looking but I'm very introverted and bookish (basically the typical academic type) and that showed in my profile, both in the writing and the picture. I'm a jurist and I actually wrote my profile like the preamble in a statute, and my picture was me behind a stack of law books, so yeah.
The girls who tended to approach me were just like me, introverted bookish types, and they all told me they loved my writing style, and they all seemed very nice and as far as I could see, mentally stable. None of them were 10/10 bombshells but that wasn't what I was aiming for anyway. I made a point to be completely honest about myself, my qualities and flaws (including, when appropriate, disclosing my weed use) and I've been told that they could tell and that's why they were even speaking to me. I ended up going on just two dates, the second girl I met is my girlfriend. We've been together almost 2 years now.
I've seen on another imageboard a test where some guy made a fake typical alpha male/jock profile and he could get girls to agree to fuck, along with a phone number, in like 20 minutes. When I was younger I used to be salty about this because it is definitely 100% true that almost any girl, bar extreme ugliness, can basically get laid whenever she wants because of the Western courtship culture that still shoehorns males into doing all the legwork (girls must be seduced (they are hypergamous by nature), but guys don't really care), guys like me have a much harder time of it because I have zero sex appeal. My personality and attributes (honesty, extreme bluntness, stability, etc) make me great for long-term, serious relationships, but terrible for one nights and flings. Once I accepted that, I stopped caring.
Truth is, if you're looking for a serious relationship with a serious girl, it's not all that hard to get one since they will naturally be tempted by the context to scratch under the surface even if you aren't the alpha male type. You don't meet serious girls for serious relationships in bars or nightclubs. It's as it's always been…school, work, activity clubs.
I have my qualms about the Western relationship culture but that I am not flooded with attention like women is definitely not one of them. That I'm still expected to basically bribe women to talk to me is one. That if I ever get married (I will not), I will have to say "see you later" to any children plus pay alimony to the now ex-wife is another (don't bring up pre-nups, courts don't care about these). That 70% of divorces are initiated by women and that long-term relationships are now much more fickle than ever is yet another. The most egregious of all is that I'm still expected to be the breadwinner because men make more than women (because we take on lower quality of life, but higher paying jobs - the pay gap is a myth), which enters into the whole alimony stuff. Honestly, and I say this as a jurist, alimony should be completely scrapped.
Yes, women have an easier time getting friends, dates, sex, etc, but do you know where I, as a male, have a vastly easier time? I can go to a bar, drink alone and never be bothered if I want to. Try doing that as a woman. As a male, my personal space is my kingdom and it is respected. I hugely appreciate that as I value my solitude.

I'm the same poster. I wanted to add that the Internet is, amazingly, another good option. I'm not American, so maybe it's a cultural thing, but girls don't use dating sites to get fucked here. That's what bars are for. I'm pretty sure the test I talked about wouldn't be very successful if it were done here. It also isn't a repertoire of broken goods and batshit crazy girls (although obviously they are there). Outside of the episode I am talking about, I had used a dating site before and I went on many more dates than the 2 I went on that time, and the women I met IRL were no better and no worse than any you'd meet on the street. Some lied about themselves, for example by magically putting on 50 pounds, some were uninteresting and devoid of any personality, some were bitches, some weren't very mentally stable even at first glance and some were genuine, good people with whom I'd give it a try…all of these I encountered dating women the "normal" way.
Additionally, they are usually very open with the fact that they're not looking for a fling, which has the benefit of making it so you're not wasting your time and that you're sure they're looking for something serious.
It's gotten to the point that I don't think I will bother with trying to meet girls any other way. It's simply more convenient to "shop around" online then meet up. That way, you're certain of her availability, you at least have an idea of what she's like and you're certain she does want to talk to you. Dating sites aren't a replacement for actual dating so I tend to quickly move to an IRL meeting. If you treat dating sites simply like a compendium of potentially interested women, I don't see why it's inferior to or even any different than trying your luck at work, at the martial arts club or at school.
