The opposite sex for three days... (with a twist)
- Thread starter Proarcher
- Start date
I'd call up a particular female friend of mine so we could go and buy me a nice dress or two, then I'd go home and try them on, then i'd lock myself in my room and try them off, and then flirt with my male friends without telling them it was me, just to screw with them.
I'd probably first go through the whole "Stages of acceptance" thing about it until the sex-and-personality-change finally wears off, and than be all "WHAT THE FUCK!!!" about wasting this grand opportunity.
Than I'll have to go through the whole fucking thing again about wasting away my golden opportunity.
So, once it DOES happen, I'll just have to try to avoid these feelings and do fuck all, like I always do.

Depends, does everyone else know I was a guy beforehand? Will they know I was a chick for 3 days afterwards? If any know/remembers I'd just hide.
hmmm...Depends. If it turns out i'm on my period i would take the opportunity to better understand women and what they have to go through once a month (Right now all i know is the conceptual science behind it, and that i'm supposed to be nicer to girls than usual when they are on their period).
Otherwise, probably try experiencing old stuff like my favorite books, movies, and videogames, to see if the experience is much different. I might also try on new clothes, to find out what i think looks good on a woman of my age and whatever body type i end up with (considering my ancestry i would probably be petite and curvaceous). I would also check out to see what kind of men i found attractive, and what about men can be attractive. Oh, going to one of those giant billboards in the street with a half-naked woman, and checking to see if it pisses me off, disturbs me, offends me, or if it's just meh. Exploring the female anatomy would probably an opportunity not to miss.
Finally, after the three days i would finally find out if what i have always been saying about preferring to be a guy hold true.

Honestly, I'd probably do what I normally do. Shower, excersize, play video games, read, paint, watch (currently) Gundam Wing on my PS3.
Probably more of the painting and reading though, if I were a more feminine version of myself, I'd probably focus more on the artistic than the violent aspect of my life. But then again, who knows. Hell, if I did decide to go and play one of my online games, I'd probably focus more on the social aspect of it instead of the going out and doing the missions and whatnot. Would all depend on my mood I guess.
Still, 3 days of gaming, eating, sleeping, keeping the body and dishes clean, and generally just the normal stuff I do. Except as a straight female, instead of a straight male.

See, I can't think of anything women can do that's that fun, and right there you have the crux of the sexism in the world: Men get to do all the cool shit.Paksenarrion said:
I don't want to be a woman for three days, I'm pretty addicted to peeing standing up and hearing lamentations at this stage.

I don't know, The brain in my head and all the things that I have experienced have been experienced with a Male slant to it all, One cant just think like a woman when all of your experiences were Male.
But to answer your question, I would go around and talk to all the girls I know and ask them what the thought of the male me, then I would talk about how awesome the male me is in bed ect ect.... or probably what TeeBs said!
And my answer does not change. What would I do? The same thing as always. Sex means little (nothing, actually, as I'm asexual, so an asexual male become an asexual female) to me.
I'd go to class as usual, I'd do my work at the last minute as usual, and after 3 days, change back.

I think we're all very aware of what influences our behaviour patterns, and how that would change if certain things (like self-worth, self-perception, loss of motor control) changed.Housebroken Lunatic said:
I mean, for all the men->women, there's phantom penis syndrome. And the women->men are gonna have as much trouble with suddenly losing their womb, but gaining a visual/tactile based climax. (Guys, you remember when you first noticed it working? They're gonna get that in spades. By the way, we finally look good in clothes.
)Then there's perception of you and everything else. I think those three days would be spent clawing to get back to your own safe body.
Think Puberty II: The Revenge.
There is no scientific consensus about these things. We barely know how the biological brain works or it's relationship to our psychological profile, and psychology as a subject is riddled with badly constructed theories and pseudo-scientific nonsense.The_root_of_all_evil said:
So, as scary as it might be, no one really knows how the human mind works. At least not at the moment. The best we have access to are qualified guesswork, ham fisted examinations and politically motivated gibberish.
And it will most likely be a subject studied for decades if not centuries to come.
Humans are human, besides key physical and some psychological intricacies concerning both genders you're hardly going to have an epiphany. I'm not sure why men think women are such great mysteries. All you have to be is not so creepy, touchy, or exhibit excessive bravado or using the male gender as a shield whenever you say something hurtful or stupid in the company of women and you'll do fine in life.
That being said who here hasn't (in a western society where you won't get stoned to death) met girls more than willing to hit guys, slap them on the arse or burn you with a cigarette lighter? <.<
Humans are human, some are nice, polite, demure ... I think you're kinda kidding yourself if you're expecting some kind of epiphany ... sure people will treat you differently, but that hardly means you'll be better informed unless you have no clue now how to deal with people.

Depending on shape, I'd probably spend the 3 days trying to adjust my balance. My mind is conditioned to walk like a man, with shoulders and all, not breasts and wider hips.
I figure after I stop falling over I may have to adapt to having breasts between my arms during regular, everyday activity; such as cooking, practice drawing, and gaming. Not to mention exercising, which ties in to trying to balance myself.
During all of this, documentation. Thought patterns, photographs, physical experiments (hehehe), and going out to see some social reactions. Would have to fashion my own bra out of a shirt or something though, not planning on spending any money on women-only things for only 3 days.
I think all in all:
Day 1: Freak Out Time; Confusion; Balancing 101; Physical Documentation.
Day 2: More Balancing; Documentation.
Day 3: Social Documentation.

I'd go out and see what's easier: getting a girl (when i'm boy me) or getting a boy (when i'm girl me).
And really, I'd just be myself. It's not really a "twist", just makes "be myself" the only right answer. Because if you had the entire mindset, it wouldn't be so fascinating.

Nope, but we know if we're gonna have a shitty day from the first thing in the morning.Housebroken Lunatic said:
