I don’t know why I voted no, I am retired and the places I hang out no one would pay much attention after the first visit. ---

Hmm. In Saudi Arabia the traditional garb for women venturing outside the home would be a burqah. ---

> [@Evil\_Captor](#): > > Hmm. In Saudi Arabia the traditional garb for women venturing outside the home would be a burqah. On the upside your face would be hidden so no one would know you’re dressed like a woman. On the downside you’d be in Saudi Arabia and people would think you’re a woman. ---

It would be hard to find women’s clothes that fit a man who wears LT or XLT clothes, but I think I could manage that just like I did in high school and college, constantly wearing short sleeves or rolling the sleeves up. And for that kind of money, I would happily do it. My girlfriend might have a problem with it, but for 10k a month with a huge bonus at the end she can get over it. ---

I wouldn’t take the deal as stated. I would quit work if it were allowed. ---

And ladies panties, well it seems to me they would be ‘snug’. Is it just outerwear? Did you not read the OP? It specifically states that Management doesn’t care about underwear. > [@](#): > > Oh and traditional to what culture? Can I wear a burka? The OP also says “skirts & dresses.” American culture. > [@AHunter3](#): > > Heck, I’d do it for a helluva lot less than $500,000.

Or, as the OP suggests, you could the advance on your first month’s payout to get custom clothing made. And for that kind of money, I would happily do it.

i don’t think 500k would be enough to convince other people to look at a crossdressing me [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/men-for-a-large-cash-payment-would-you-agree-to-wear-only-traditional-womens-garb-for-one-year/670387.md?page=4)
