I hope this doesn't come off as rude or anything, but something I have been noticing more and more- and which might just be me, too- is that it seems that quite a lot, maybe even the majority, of FTMs when presenting as female were not as attractive as they are when presenting as male.

Maybe it is a confidence issue, and we, in general, are more confident when presenting as male which of course also adds to attraction. Confidence is attractive as long as it doesn't cross the line in to being a self-important jerk.

I know that, for myself, I was not confident at all as a female. I didn't like the way I looked in clothing, I didn't like the women's clothes available to me, and I didn't like the overall feel of body hugging clothing meant to show off limbs and curves.

In men's clothes, now I am wearing them exclusively, I feel better and more comfortable, I feel way more confident. I also get way more praise in how I look than I ever did my entire life when presenting exclusively as female.

Has anyone else noticed or felt anything similar to this? Am I generalizing way too much, or does what I'm saying actually hold up to an extent?
