I have been on a shopping spree of sorts over the past month 5 new bra's of varying success first pare of girl jeans ( nice and all stretchy) couple of silk nighties and some tank tops with built in bra's .when in all guy mode I hate clothes shopping while this has all been online shopping not brave enough yet to shop for anything but bra's in public. I am wondering if this is part of the brain rewireing that we talk about on here its just a very new experience for me.

Well, to be honest shopping for male clothes just isn't interesting. There's not much selection to choose from, almost everything has basically the same few styles, graphic tee's only come with a particular style, so on... Women's stuff is filled with lots of fun, interesting choices.
When I pretended to be a guy I never liked clothes shopping, as a girl I love it. Both then and now I enjoy browsing books and games and such, which also have a very wide variety. It's that lack of flair in men's clothes that make that shit lame.

Exactly! I used to shop for mens clothes, in the door, shirt section, find size, buy and leave.
Now its in the door, and I'm there for hours especially if there is a good sale and I have a coupon too.
For me girl clothes shopping is FUN. I love it. And if there is a makeup counter there too stand by.

I can see all your points and I agree there's a much wider selection of clothing for women, but for me that is my problem with shopping and clothing in general, too much choice.
For instance:
Man shopping for work clothes (smart): Shirt, trousers, tie, shoes...easy
Woman shopping for work clothes (smart):
Shirt...which type? Does this one show too much cleavage? Is it suitable? Is the colour too bright for an office environment? Is it too skin tight? Would this be good in summer as well as winter? Will it loom boring if I go with something that doesn't show off my figure/is plain?
Trousers/skirt ... Again which type? Skinny cut, does the workplace allow it? If I bend over will the skirt ride up/band go down? Is the skirt the right length? Too long and it looks kinda frumpy, too short looks slutty? Above the knee/below the knee? Regulations???
Shoes...flat? Heel? Open toe? Boots? Do they match one outfit only or do they go with everything? I don't want one pair of shoes for each possible combination of clothing? Colourful or plain black?
Yes it's easy if you go shopping for neutral stuff but do you want to be the "plain Jane" of the office? But you also don't want to be the "office slut"
This is just my opinion, shopping is a nightmare. It can be hard finding the right look for different occasions, and even then, finding something to fit properly in the right places can be a nightmare too. Gaping buttons at chest level, trousers too tight around the leg but sit perfect on the waist and vice versa, skirts that look smart but give no space for leg movement.
I've always hated shopping, I try to get in and out as soon as possible.
Dealing with crowded shops, changing rooms can be awful, and that moment when they have plenty of every size in stock but yours? Or fitting one size i one pair of jeans, but another size in a different pair in the same shop??? I don't see how it could possibly be fun.

Katana > Maybe it is because I haven't got an opportunity to experience all the social pressure of having to dress properly as a female I will say: "Oh, I want to experience the dilemmas you've described in person, yes I do!"
On the other side, while it is true that women have a broader selection of all the clothing items, I would not say that buying male clothes is boring. More challenging - yes... I remember me trying to find the exact outfit in different stores in Prague, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Wien and Milan ...
Anyway, I really would like to experience shopping for clothes as a woman. For me, it is one of the epitomes of stylish femininity ...

Lol maybe its because I'm not overly feminine myself. I've always been considered "one of the guys" by my friends. I dress quite simply, normally jeans and a band tee until I discovered leggings and jeggings, omg I love leggings. (jeans have always fit weird on me because of my legs).
I stick to trousers mostly and never wear skirts because you might find a skirt suitable for one "smart dress" situation, but completely unsuitable for another which means you have to go and spend more money! Trousers never really fail me. Black trousers with some stretch in the thigh area are my best friend when it comes to dressing smart. I also never really wear button up shirts because unless there is a miracle in the fashion world I will rarely find one that fits around my chest without being far too baggy around my waist. Seriously I hate it when shirts hang from my boobs it makes me look like I have a box of a torso. If the shirt is supposed to look loose its fine because you can tell its a loose fitting shirt, I quite like those. But button ups will make me rage nine times out of ten.

Katana> Lol, I can understand. Although my breast are not that big, from my experiences with breast forms I can understand how obnoxious it could feel when a shirt is hanging from your breasts. It is as if your belly is large while it is not. I guess with bigger breasts it is like "say good by to loose clothes and say exclusive 'hello' to skin-tight shirts and dresses."
I believe that building up the full female wardrobe is quite a challenging task that needs a proper planning... Thinking about it ... I like such kind of challenges ...

Yeah then there's the problem of big boobs+tight shirts=slut
Haha, I'd hardly say I have a full wardrobe at all. I mostly wear my partners tracksuit pants and big baggy jumpers around the house. Then leggings with a long shirt when I go out
