Poll question: If You Could Change Genders For a Day, Would You?
I totally would. I'm perfectly happy being a male, but the opportunity to see what it's like existing as a female for even a day would just be too much to pass up!

1. I would pay a lot for an opportunity like that.
Of course, it might make future girlfriends uncomfortable when they find out :)

2. I would
but my skin would be so dry afterward from staying in the shower for so long.

23. Food for thought
If you don't shave your face, it's called a beard and mustache. If a woman doesn't shave under her pits and her legs and her bikini area, it's called uncouth. ;)

You could grow a beard. It'll make ya look all distinguished and stuff.

29. I guess it's a 50/50 shot at it.
Either you'd look distinguished or like what you described, I guess, haha.

35. Oh I dont have a mustache and beard right now, I just got fuzz
Its just I sometimes dont shave for a while. I prefer to be clean shaved since I think it makes me look better looking.

32. I would think that would not classify as the
distinguished look. I thought Bruce Willis looked bad when he tried it, but most women fawned over him. I didn't understand that one. I like goatees though.

9. Not just yes, but
Oh hell yeah. I could write my name in the snow without getting frost bite on my bum. I could flirt with women more. I could go and do so many things I can't do now, right by myself, like fishing and wildlife watching in the woods. I wouldn't have to worry about these freepers I am surrounded by trying to overtake me and oh, man, I wish I could really change genders. I would try my damnedest to hide when the day was over though. I wouldn't want to go back. I wish it could really happen.

11. I'll describe it
It's like having a second brain, only you think with it more often than the first. And it can get in the way at times.

Oh, and you have really awkward silences while using urinals.

13. That's why I'm a stall man.
Sometimes it's so awkward I can't even do my business, so I'm just standing there for the longest time, making it even more uncomfortable, screaming inside my head, "COME OUT! COME OUT DAMMIT!!!"

20. Oh MAN!
And then there's always a weirdo who feels he must strike up a conversation with me whilst we stand with wangs in hand.

You don't talk at the urinal! They should teach this in kindergarten.

15. Yup, but not for any huge reason...
It would be like going to a foreign country for a day. But of course I would want to be a nice guy with a sensitive nature, attractive and clean. Sweet. Understanding. Sensitive. OK, scrap this whole line of thought, because I am pretty much describing most of the gay guys I know. OK, guess I'll stay a girl.

37. If all the knowledge of what it means to be the 'other' is in the deal...
...then okay.

Otherwise, I'd spend half of the day trying to figure out how to behave.

45. Been there, done that, had the GRS
Yeesh... didn't we just have this SAME STUPID POLL a month ago?

And yes -- some of us HAVE changed our physical genders. Permanently.

I said back then what I'll repeat here tonight: One day would never have been enough, before. After, you literally couldn't pay me to go back.
