I assume they want to attract other gay men, so why not try to dress in a way that would attract them?

Sorry, didn't mean to generalize- why do SOME gay men try to look like women?

Some gay men dress as women to entertain...they're called drag queens. It's a theatrical parody based on a rich theatrical tradition. William Shakespeare had no women actors, just men in costume. Kubuki dancers in Japan are all men...representing women.
Drag queens don't live in dressses and some of them off stage are very masculine.
Cross dressers are heterosexual men who wear women's clothing for a variety of reasons. Transvestites wear women's clothing for the stimulation it brings them.
Bottom line is that gay men are attacted to men and not to women and so why would they do this to attract a man?

Very few gay men dress or look like women...it is a small segment of society that has fun with it...most enjoy the acting part of it, perhaps the attention it gets. But by and large, it is not a popular thing to do in the Gay world.

but you are generalizing. why do straight women have really short hair, why do straight women wear boots? I've seen a lot of straight women dress more like a guy than a guy does.

I think it has nothing to do with being gay... Since there are Straight Men who cross dress to... And according to Eddie Izzard, who is a self-proclaimed "Executive Transvestite", most cross-dressers are straight.
So why do men straight or gay dress like women? I dunno, but the question bugged me.
