I want my Androgynous Lifestyle

Post Reply New Topic

ericc,
It sounds like you are METROSEXUAL, that is the popular term for this, and it is actually more popular then you would think. Metrosexual simply means a straight guy that incorporates what would be considerd the popular gay look and act. Similar to the pictures posted.
I didnt read every post, so I am not sure if metrosexual was already mentioned.
I used to work at a clothing store, and everyone there thought I dressed metrosexual, even that I wasnt trying to, and actually was trying to very manly and masculin but no mater how I dressed, for some reason people still thought I was metro. (probably because I always sport some sort of wild punk hair cut, think 6" mohalk )

EDIT - after reading some more posts, I think I am probably wrong, you might not be metrosexual, as it doesnt go as far as what you are saying.

I desided that I'm tired and sick of pretending that I'm a man for my parents. I'm sick and tired of wearing Masculine clothing, it's not for me. I want to dress more Androgynous. My parents still don't know that I'm Androgynous. Sometimes I wished that I told them so I can excape from future critizism if I ware a bit of make up or wear silk clothing or something on those lines.

I'm trying to find Androgynous clothes but it's hard to find on the internet.

Well, unfortatly I told my parents that I'm Genderqueer. There's more about this on this post http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt94306.html.

Tomarrow I'm going back to see a new pharapist. I don't know. It's like my parents except me but at the same time, they think I'm mentally ill with both being Androgyne and my Sick & Twisted sense of humor. It's probably because I've been acting "strange" by not wanting to communicate with them much.

It's not that they are bad parents, no they are the complete oppisite, they are very supportive and stuff like that.

But how do you feel about living with someone for years and years and they can't relate to your interests, and your personalites are different. Plus you don't have a real social life. You know the feeling. All Aspies do sooner or later!


But I need my own life. I'll be living on my own soon, I'm sick of dressing masculine like. I want to mix my clothes up half masculine / half feminine. I want to grow my hair long, maybe dye it blonde. Maybe I'll highlight my eye lashes with a little bit of mascara.

I don't want to say that I want to cross-dress. I want to look more Androgynous like how I feel inside.

I can relate to you in some ways ericc. I had never heard of androgyny until maybe 10 or 11 years ago while visiting a gay priest friend of mine. He had this book called The Wild Man's Journey. It seemed interesting so i bought myself the book. Is was about male spirituality and made some references to androgyny. I had always been a sort of spiritual/religious person and had a huge obsession with catholic liturgy. This was before i had ever know about aspergers. I had for many years growing up considered becoming a priest until only a few years ago i figured out it wasn't my calling.

It was about the same time that i found out about androgyny that i first had access to the internet, which was very new at that time and had the freedom to do some exploring. I guess I came to realized that an androgynous lifestyle was something i had an interest in or that I realized that this is who I am. Growing up I always preferred the friendship of girls. I did have one girlfriend in the mid 90s but have never had any sexual interest in them. I do sometimes feel like I'm between gender, because sometimes guys don't make any sense to me. I sometimes get uncomfortable around the presence of some types of guys, but i'm attracted to efeminate guys, and girls, but not sexually.
