What should I be for Halloween?

I haven't done anything for Halloween since 2006, so I figured it's time to finally do something again. My only problem is that I can't decide on what I want to dress up as.

Here's a few choices I've been thinking about:

1. I could dress up as a woman. Some of my female friends have offered to help with the clothing and makeup, so it could work.

2. Dressing up as Obama, Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, or any politician for that matter.

3. Dress up as a cat. I'd most likely wear a cat suit for this one, and then paint my face the color that I want to portray.

4. Dress up as Marilyn Manson, Lady Gaga, David Bowie, or any eccentric rock/pop star.

So those are a few of the costume ideas that have been floating around in my head. What one do you think I should try, or do you have a better idea for a costume that you'd like to share?

 

Get a cheap metal serving platter (thin aluminum), and cut a large hole in the center, as well as a cut from one side to the center.... use duct tape to protect the sharp edges of the center hole. Get a super cheap plastic ketchup and mustards picnic bottle set. Glue the bottles, as well as a knife fork and spoon to the platter. Get some black fabric to wear as a cloak, and cut a hole for your head to go through, use make up to look dead and bloody.
Put you dead head through the platter so only it appears on the platter with utensils and condiments.

Serve appropriately.

 

The reality....

Tell everybody you'll be Half-Life 3.
Then don't show up.

 

Dress up as a woman, I will date you. We might also be affianced

This is hilarious

 

AHHHH, costume ideas

it reminds me of a story and a theme based costume party. The guests needed to dress reflecting their current mood

the doorbell rang and the hostess opened the door and saw a man in blue jeans, blue shirt and his face painted blue. "Well she said, it's obvious that you're feeling blue today, please come in"

The doorbell again rang and the hostess opened the door and saw a person there in clown makeup, clown attire and clown shoes. "Why I guess you're feeling silly today, please come in"

Again the doorbell rang and the hostess opened the door to see a naked man there with his willy inserted into a cup. She slammed the door but the man knocked so she again opened it. "Why are you naked on my doorstep she demanded" The man responded, "isn't this the mood party, if so, this is my costume"
The hostess was flabbergasted and demanded "what type of costume is that, what could you possibly be by being naked with your willy in a cup"

The man replied "Why I'm f'n dis custard"

she let him in

 

I think you'd be turned on by that more than you'd ever admit here - it was your first idea for a reason - I think you're using the Halloween party just as an 'excuse'

With "friends" like that, who needs enemas

Sorry but I can't think of anything more self-degrading (and I'm being serious, not 'personally attacking') - a guy who (admits) to having little sexual experience (your own words), letting his "female friends" help him dress up as a transvestite? WTF? That's completely self-degrading and disgusting - I'm at the point of fuming right now - wish I knew the names of these "female friends" 'cause I'd have a few choice words for em

Sorry but any b- who'd enable someone with identity confusion to harm themselves like that is a piece of (*)(*)(*)(*) - that's just exploiting a person and making a fool of them for one's on jollies. Doesn't matter if the person is "choosing to do it" - it's still encouraging a person do do something self-degrading and humiliating - hearing sick stuff like this just makes me glad I don't maintain many 'female friends' - bleh

This dude's complained about his troubles meeting women - then he contemplates letting some "female friends" help him with makeup...

...and then he wonders why those 'female friends' are banging someone else instead of the dude they thought "looked so cute" dolled up like a Barbie Doll... seriously

As Howard Stern said - I think this is the end of civilization as we know it, I'm not even kidding, I'm almost at the point of tears...

 

And if the above sounds a bit harsh, it's because it has to be - these 'female friends' are not real friends - when these women who offering to help him pick out makeup and dresses are around their boyfriends, they're joking and laughing about what a "f-g" he is whenever his name gets brought up. That's the only reason their boyfriends even allow their GFs to hang around with him - they don't expect him to be competition at all. - that's humiliating

Is that really what the OP wants? To be the guy (who on this forum) who laments his luck with women, and resigns himself to being a "dress up toy" for girls while they sleep with other guys? - hint it isn't - it's not what any man wants deep down - it's wrong and harmful to one's self esteem. I really hope the OP will figure this out, or even seek counseling if he's truly identify confused (ex. he even had contemplated joining the Mormon church just because someone asked him to, which really got my attention - if an atheist is that ready to up an join a religion he doesn't even believe - that's not a good sign of self-esteem). I'm genuinely concerned here

 

Isn't it just typical of a female to be an enabler?

 

It's not an excuse for me. I only own one article of feminine clothing, and that's just a few pairs of skinny jeans, all of which are designed for men except for one pair. I don't wear dresses or makeup at all, but since Halloween is coming up and I want to go all out, it was the first idea that popped into my head.

The friend that offered to do the makeup and clothing is someone I've known for six years, and she definitely wouldn't be laughing or calling me a (*)(*)(*). She's pretty liberal, so I don't see that happening. Also, I have a few friends who are socially conservative, and they don't think this idea is weird at all. They know it's just Halloween.

So there's no huge identity crisis going on here. Halloween has always been about being weird and outlandish for a single night every year, and imitating the opposite sex definitely fits in that realm. You seem to believe that dressing up on one night of the year means I'm a complete sissy transvestite that can't get a woman at all. I'm not sure where you're coming from with this, or why you're so angry about it.

 

you should be Pat!

 

Haha Jesus dude lighten up. You aren't going to 'turn gay' - calm down!

 

You could go as a school girl, its hilarious but I've seen it done too many times. You could go as a priest. Very easy costume

 

No I'm literally concerned just:

1. Based on the posts the guy himself has made about 'being confused' or identifying as 'something in between a man and a woman', or feeling attracted to some men

2. Based on his age (says he's only 20)

3. Based on the fact that he's brought up issues of self-esteem and how he's worried people thinks he's a "f@g"

Based on his overall posts I just think his desire to dress up or identify as the opposite sex is a little abnormal

 

That's cool, but based on how many posts you've made regarding an identity confusion or feeling not sure what you are, it just seems abnormal.

I guess I worded it bad - I don't think the friend is necessarily premeditating it to 'make fun of you' - in their mind they may be doing nothing wrong - but it's still self-degrading and I think it's inconsiderate of a person to do something that can contribute to an identity confusion that another person's expressed - no one wants to be the guy who lets himself get dolled up like a Barbie doll (while the same women are sleeping with another boyfriend who probably thinks the dude is a f-). Whether she's liberal or fascist doesn't change any of the above.

That's just harmful to the self-esteem - and based on your own posts, you said that you go around worrying that people "think you're a f-" or stuff like that - so why would you purposely do something self-degrading to further encourage that?

Well based on your threads/posts I figured that was Halloween has always been about being weird and outlandish for a single night every year, and imitating the opposite sex definitely fits in that realm. You seem to believe that dressing up on one night of the year means I'm a complete sissy transvestite that can't get a woman at all. I'm not sure where you're coming from with this, or why you're so angry about it.[/QUOTE]
Well honestly if it's not a crisis and you want to just for giggles go ahead - but please don't let some "girl friends" doll you up and pick out your makeup - do it yourself.

I never said "you're a sissy who can't get a woman" - but you've made posts yourself complaining about that (and blaming it on stuff like society) - but if you're letting yourself be portrayed around your 'circle' as the guy who lets women dress him up and put makeup on him - that's not going to help with that I promise

 

Get a blanket, some underwear and a plain shirt and a mask, and shorts. Then you could go as a kid's superhero.

 

Well it isn't abnormal and you really need to calm the hell down and get over your backward prejudices. Your response was like something a redneck child would say.

 

Not prejudices, just honestly - no guy wants to be the dude who girls hang out and play 'dress up with' (but don't date) - that's kind of degrading - be honest - how'd you feel if girls who with no interest in dating you - you were inviting you over to play dress up with them? I don't think you'd feel flattered lol

 

AndrogynousMale apparently does have friends who are willing to help him dress up so...

 

Doesn't change one iota of what I said - I think you're too young to understand it right now anyway so please don't argue

 

I'm 18, I'm an adult now so start treating me like one. I know what's going on. I have been debating on PF longer than you.

 

You're still a minnow.

No...you don't... but then again you advocate sex change for 6 year olds, so yeah...

If you want I'll give you a list of books to read through on the subject of self-confidence and then get back to me - the situation I described above is detrimental to self confidence/esteem regardless of whether someone 'wants' it or not

 

I can sign up for the military. I am old enough.

Who said I advocate sex changes for 6 year olds?

Then why don't you use those books and prove your point to me.

 

This is how I dressed up last Halloween...
