New to all of this

Well, after many years of wondering, curiosity, and reddit surfing...

I finally tried on womens clothing for the first time since I was a little kid.

When I was little, I had tried it once or twice just because they felt nice and comfy and was curious. And that was it.

I had completely forgotten about it for a few decades, that was, until I randomly started to get ideas about it pop into my head. So, I began researching online to figure out what this feeling was, and then the memory came back to me. Trying on girls clothing when I was little.

Afterwards, I did a lot of lurking subreddits and searching online to find some sense of grounding.

I am a straight, very masculine man. I work a "manly" job, I'ma a combat veteran, compete in weight lifting competitions, CrossFit, tough mudders, shoot guns, drive a big truck, the whole gambit of what's considered "manly" by cultural US standards. So you could say I am thoroughly confused.

Yet, something about wearing womens clothing is an attractive concept to me. The style, comfort, look, all of it is enticing.

I've self reflected a lot on this to try and sort it out. I am attracted to hyper feminine looks, and my wife would be considered a "girly girl" type. I often buy her clothes that I like or think would look good on her. I enjoy going shopping with her and buying new clothes for her all the time. Even when she says shes good on clothes lol. I didnt realize until recently, but I feel it is because I want to wear those clothes, and am living through her in a way.

So, that brings me to the other day. I was home alone and I needed to go into our closet. I was looking around and got the urge to try something on. So, I started trying on yoga pants, then shorts, shirts, etc. And I loved it. They were so comfortable and I thought I looked great. I loved how they looked and felt on me. I felt really good about myself.

That being said, I still have mens clothing I like to wear. I suppose I wish I could find mens clothing that felt and looked more feminine.

I don't have anyone to share this with, so writing this out helps with perspective.

Needless to say I am thoroughly confused lol. I came across this community and felt like I could relate to some folks here.
