Me too, Dawn. I used to read Hardy Boys mysteries and Tom Sawyer and identify with the male characters. My mum tried to get me into Nancy Drew mysteries, but there was nothing there for me to identify with.

And I find "alpha" type males difficult to deal with as well.

I don't think it matters whether your male or female I think alpha males are difficult to deal with.

I dont know, I've always found the "alpha" males to be the most attractive. You just have to know how to deal with them. What you have to do is stroke their ego, flirt shamelessly and lead them around by the nostrils. In essence give them just enough of what they want to get them to give you EVERYTHING you want. It's a game of give and take and take and take. I have always enjoyed it.

You all are just toooooo funny. I have had my chuckle for the day now thank you very much!

Smiles,

And it's hellish trying to function as a woman when you don't feel like one.

Now ain't that the truth!

ditto. 

To address the original topic though, yeah men can be hard to understand at times (yes I can watch football for hours on end.... heck I can't really explain it.  I just like it.) But I agree with Teri Anne that this topic could be turned around and asked about women as well.  I for one could never understand how you all could go shopping for hours on end, not buy anything, and then consider the day a success. 

I'm lost are we talking about alpha and beta gamma that kind of thing. I didnt know males had so many labels on them.

It's hard to think, which ones do I like, usually ones that are not too manly (the ones that have way too much hair all over their body and spit on the ground), definately not the wimpy kind and not the stuburn type. Just a guy that has a great body, good heart and treats me like a lady. What kind of guy is that?

Sara.

Joseph you definitely are a male if you can understand shopping. >
Us girls just love checking out the new stuff. It's like test driving a automobile.
It's just fun. Of course it's always better when can take it home.
But you guy real can understand this cause your boys. >

That's an imaginary guy.  >

I do. (some guys, not all of them)

Many guys I know (i.e.., my brother, two of my cousins, my girlfriend's husband) are just plain lazy, behave like spoiled brats, do not have any table manners, think about sex 24/7, and eat all day long.....I  think this is weird, or maybe it's just a guy thing, I don't know.

Heck, I haven't transitioned yet (not even hormones yet - grrrr! - trying to be patient . . . ) and I've always thought men were weird even when I thought I was one.

But now they kinda scare me too.

helen

Me too! I'm still a long ways away from transitioning, but a lot of times the way of thinking and behavior of a lot of guys I know just seems absurd. Especially how some of them talk about dating prospects and 'strategies'... it bothers (sometimes disturbs) me a lot, but I hold my tongue.

Of course, I remember doing more than my share of macho posturing before I had accepted myself and had been so insecure. I'm glad to have shed that pointless burden.

An FTM aquaintance once looked across the table at me and said: "I just don't get y'all."  refering to women in general.  That sums up how I feel about men:  I just don't get y'all.  And yes, I think men are weird.

Living and thinking female is so much more fulfilling than I ever had it trying to live as a male.
