Are you sure it's not David Bowie?

 

[Michael A]

Might have been my guess too, but I think David's fingers were longer. Original source linked below.

My attitude is: why bother with an ersatz male when I can have the real thing - indeed when I am the real thing! But each to his own, as they say.

good one

Hepburn

Never saw this one of Hepburn before (which is becoming rare as they aren't taking new pictures of her ). She has such an androgynous beauty that guy clothes are natural on her in a still feminine way.

I'm not even sure what this means.

Because they can be just plain cute....

It means he appreciates his own beauty.

Ya know when you think you know what something means but you can't believe that what you think what something means is actually what it means . . .?

I'm not even sure what this means.

I was being flippant because I didn't want to get too serious or heavy about it. However, what I mean is that I am interested in and attracted by masculine men in 'guys' garb' and that I am on the masculine end of the male spectrum myself, without being excessively so or too macho. Attraction in this context isn't just physical but covers the whole emotional range. For me - and I accept that this is, like all matters of this kind, mainly subjective - a woman dressed as a man is an ersatz or fabricated male and my reaction to her is the same feeling of bemusement and bafflement that I feel if I get on the wrong bus. Or, put it another way, a real man is like man wool for me, whereas a woman dressed as a man would be the equivalent of acrylic or polyester ('Polly Esther': now that sounds like a drag artist of the opposite kind). The ersatz male 'in men's grab' is a pastiche or parody of a man and doesn't have either the physical attributes or the inner emotional life of a man. The best way to sum up is to say that I simply don't do 'gender neutral' or 'gender fluid'!

Okay, I understand now.

Myself, I can appreciate a man who is well turned out, but I love women in men's clothes.

To each his own!
