I love the response this thread is getting. But I feel like there's a lot of potential discussion that is being missed out on. Primarily, why people want to cross-dress, or why people don't want to cross dress. I'm going to make a long post and pour my heart into it, people might laugh at me, or really question my motives/thoughts... but here goes anyway.
Why I personally want to cross-dress? I like to cross-dress simply because I want to look cute and want to appeal to the opposite gender with this "cute-ness".
What is cute to me? I love frilly dresses, gothic/sweet lolita style clothing, and lolita fashion. If you have looked at my user name, you may of already picked up on it, loli is cute to me. For me, wanting to look cute like a loli might related to my unreachable desire of always wanting to be a cute little girl. I've always suspected some (but not all) other loli-lovers might have similar desires but I've never confirmed it. So yeah, I want to be a cute little girl. Have your chuckle if you want.
Appeal to the opposite gender? You most likely have easily figured it out by now, but I will plainly say it: I am male. I want to dress in a cute dress to appeal to the female gender. Two big things to point out here which I know people will having glaring in their mind after reading the previous sentence:
1) I suspect some people might think all cross-dressers want to appeal to their own gender, and people may steer away from it labeling cross-dressing as primarily "gay" activity. Obviously I am not trying to appeal to the same gender, I am trying to appeal to the opposite gender; so bluntly not all cross-dressers do it for a "gay" reason. Of course others may do it for completely different non-gay or gay reasons. Attraction of x gender or any gender might not even be an influencing factor for cross-dressing for some. Just to be clear, I have nothing against people who cross-dress to appeal to the same gender.
2) I know people are going to question "does dressing up in a dress like a little girl really appeal to the female gender?" or find it strange that I think it would. Obviously not all females will find this type of action appealing. I assume some do... I hope.
So after all that... I gave my reasons for cross-dressing. So don't only say if you would cross-dress or not, say why you would or wouldn't too! I don't mind any criticism too, I know people are going to find some of my thoughts as absurdly "weird"/different. I don't mind if you say you think they are weird too! Any input is cool.
