If I were a guy, I’d have a few different looks, like I do now: 1. Cargo jeans, Doc Martens, spiky hair, studded belt, and an anime shirt over a wife beater. 2. Baggy cords with either an old worn out band shirt, or a rumpled plaid button-down shirt, shaggy hair, and Chucks. 3. (this is my gay man look) Stylish Kenneth Cole shoes, flat-front chinos, and a black t-shirt or crisp white button-down. ---

I knew I liked you, **hillbilly queen** –I think about this shit all the time (I also–being a straight woman–wonder what kind of women I’d like if I were a man or a lesbian). As things stand, I don’t have much interest in men’s clothing (but for womens’ clothing, I am a total whore), but I _dis_like mens’ suits, so I’m tempted to say that I wouldn’t be a “suit and tie guy.” However, I _do_ enjoy dressing up on occasion as a woman (I’m mostly a jeans gal, but I clean up real purty), so maybe I would be into suits and/or tuxes as a man. Mostly, though, I think I’d be more of a **fizgig** type, clothing-wise. Underwear-wise? Boxers. Appearance-wise? Long hair (I feel fairly certain about this) and facial hair, but hopefully no back hair. ---

I’d be a midget drag queen part of the time, and the rest of the time I’d probably wear saggy jeans and hoodies. I’d also have a goatee. ---

Funny how many women here say they’d wear goatees if they were men. If I were female? I suppose I’d dress tomboyishly…lots of jeans and sweaters. I wouldn’t wear the jeans tighter, I already wear my clothes to fit instead of 4 sizes too large. In hot weather I’d probably dress skimpier than men usually do because I could get away with it.
