How significantly would your life be changed if you woke up as the opposite gender?

Question

You would be the height, strength, and attractiveness equivalent for your gender. I. e. if you were a strong man you are now strong for a woman and vice versa. If you were something like 5'8" as a woman you might be 6' as a man. Basic attractiveness level would translate over, if you're a moderately attractive woman you're now a moderately attractive man. Obviously if you're now a woman you can experiment with makeup to make yourself more attractive. Your sexual orientation can change or not change depending on how you want this to play out.

Your friends/family/coworkers will still recognize you and through the magic of hypothetical questions won't treat you as trans or think of it as weird but just treat you as they would someone of the opposite gender.

How significantly would your social/romantic/sexual life be affected? Do you think your career or career options would be significantly affected positively or negatively?

I’m slightly more sensitive/expressive than the average guy and being 100% hetero this has been a very tough life for me.

I’m definitely less sensitive/emotional than the average woman but I’m also more sensitive/emotional than the average man. It’s a very difficult in between “the rock and hard place” for me.

Over the years I’ve gotten better at understanding my mental processes and how this impacts my interactions with women. Unfortunately many women say that my emotionally slanted behavior is “good”. No, wrong. While I think most women mean well by that (and encourage it). The ugly reality is they just see me as another woman and less threatening. It makes them feel better about their own insecurities about being too emotional. This turns the vast majority of them romantically off (friendzone).

So right off the bat if I turned into a woman I would have the advantage of not being looked down upon for my emotional behavior. I wouldn’t have to control myself as much to save face for Freudian reasons. It would much less stressful.

I would definitely go lesbian but I would be the masculine partner in that relationship.

Well, the one absolute positive is that there'd be fewer things I bump my head into. Pretty much everything else would be a mixed bag. I'm not sure how much of an exterior difference there'd be, or whether the totaled up changes would be positive or negative, but I imagine I'd have a rough time adjusting.

I'm strongly psychologically masculine and have very little patience for the nonsensical social rules that govern human interaction. And while women have less of those than men do, there is almost no social tolerance for girls who don't abide by them. As a man, you're pretty much expected to say "No, that's BS, I'm not doing that" to at least a few; I've seen people get downright NASTY to women who do the same. I'd probably end up pulling a Hatshepsut just to get people off my back.

Although as an upside to that, I'd get a prosthetic beard, so hey, bonus points.

I cannot really answer it, but here are some of my ideas..
I think I could be a very good boyfriend and more women my age wants a serious relationship, so can more easily get to that. I already do not mind taking initiative, so I would just need some patience to get a woman's attention, which is more tricky as a man. I would probably get less sex since my libido is high. But I am ready to go for a relationship over sex for once :P
Not sure how much it would change my work life. I am in a male dominated world, so easier to fit in but sometimes it is also beneficial to stick out.

I would more than likely end up homeless because my partner wouldn’t be as biased with me as a person since I couldn’t offer him anything romantically, and therefore not put up with my shit.
Not to mention I’d be seriously sexually deprived because (to me) vaginas are nasty and anal is painful.

Just not a good deal. I enjoy being female and all its advantages lol.

Catlover1999 · Answer

I actually do wish I was a girl. I like to think my life would mostly be the same since I am very happy with it except my sex (male) of course.

I’m 6,2 and skinny so if I were woke up a girl I’d probably be something like 5,9 and also pretty slim and fairly attractive (like a 7-9 but it’s subjective of course). Dating would be 1000000 times easier since I’d simply have to look pretty and not have to work up the courage to talk to guys like I have to do with girls as a guy (which hasn’t been a success at all). Also I think I’d have more friends and it’ll be easier to make friends which it appears to be for girls. I think I’d be closer with my mum, not that we aren’t already very close but I’m one of three boys and she’s always wanted a daughter and I’m very much like my dad mentally which annoys my mum sometimes, they’re divorced and I frequently say and do things that would remind her of the reasons that they’re no longer together.

Apart from that I can’t think about what would be different other than how I would be thrilled to have a women’s body.

My life would be a lot easier as a woman. Not only would it be easier to get the things I want some things would just be given too me.
Hell I probably wouldn't even work a job any more, I'd just sell pics or have an onlyfans.

Plus instead of being blamed for every god damn problem I. This world as a white male, now I would get away with everything short of murder.

Guys would bend over backwards for my requests, free drinks at bars other free stuff, sex at the snap of a finger.

Being a woman sounds like a non stop party, it would be easy and fun.

Hell right now no one gives a shit if I life or die, but as a girl people I dont even know would look out for me and do whatever they could to make me happy.

Vetis · Answer

A moderately attractive woman is more attractive than a moderately attractive (ignorable) man, without using any makeup. Switching from male to female, even as a moderately attractive 6ft4in fit male, would be like switching from being black to white in a racist country. Everybody would forgive me for any mental/personality issues, and instead of chasing respect of people, people would be qualifiying to me for respect. The world would be opposite, bca female privilege is endemic in the biologic reality of man and animal.

I could litterally grab any dude by the balls and be able to have my pleasuresed pleased by almost anyone. I'd wreck house on so many marriages. Have the longest orgasms, could fill every wall in my house with my favorite dick pics I get sent. Sleep my way throught the top of my career. Life would be great till I started bleeding and had to deal with all my over emotional self. Have 10 guys in one week, give em my stds too. Why nah fuck some other women too. Threesomes foursomes, orgies. Sex and MANipulation on the daily would be my game plan.

BCA6010 · Answer

Not much of what you're listing would change considering the magical "nobody questions this" bullet, although romantic life would pretty much be eliminated entirely unless my heterosexuality also carried over through inversion, at which point you'd have to ask if I'm really even the same person at that point.

Just call me Mistress Christine

I could live with the boobs and pussy, some of the other bollox women put up with no so much.

admittedly the fun of telling a guy just as he is about to cum, ‘did you know I used to be a guy’.
would be priceless

humanearth · Answer

thats a horrible thing to happen to me

1st thing my wife of almost 30 years would leave me and I can't see my life without her.

Second i know how to be a man, live like a man. I would not be able to accept the change and most likely kill myself

tartaarsaus · Answer

I can imagine it’d have some negative impact on my career. Quantitative economics/finance is a pretty testosterone-filled world that’s not that kind to women. Other than that, I doubt it is that impactful on my social life, sexual life and such. By far most things I struggle with now are beyond my social/sexual life and relate far more to grad school.

msc545 · Answer

Yes, if I was a woman, especially an attractive one, I would get all sorts of privileges that I don't have now, including free dinners, and I wouldn't have to do any difficult or risky stuff, and men would compete to have sex with me, and if I got mad at one of them I could accuse him of sexual assault or rape, and everyone would believe me and I would get money and fame and victim status.

Life would be so much better.

My wife would have bigger issues with it than I would. She would be like, hell no I ain't no lesbian. At the same time I'd probably have issues trying to do it with a man, still might try it out just to see what it is like and with my luck I'd end up pregnant.

Then my wife would say I cheated on her with another man, even though she wouldn't want me.

I don't think it was bad as tall, blue eyed dark blonde with a good body. Maybe I would dye my hair to bright blond. I would become lesbian and my girlfriend had to endure premium cunnilingus while caressing female head when she starts to reach nirvana. Lesbian couple of two top tier blondes, surely a wasting disappointment for male world. XD

If I suddenly turned into a man but kept my petite 5'2" frame, that'll definitely be a disadvantage.

Gedaria · Answer

This something I have dreamt about since I was old enough to know the difference in the sexes..
The body of a woman I find so great.
But it's the clothes and the why women are , seem they look at life so different.

jgokgotit · Answer

I do not think much would change. Dating would become easier because I would not face the same financial pressure.

Well. I don't know how it would be better or worse in concerns to society, but I do know I'd have to break up with my boyfriend xD
