Basically, women want a nasty, successful, dominant prick, but one that treats her nicely.

Whoa!

I don't think we can generalize about what women want any more than we can generalize about what men want. And we all know that different men have very different tastes in women. Sure, some women are attracted to nasty jerks, but in my experience, there are many more who value honesty, empathy, and thoughtfulness above those "alpha male" traits. It's true that you won't find many women specifically looking to date a crossdresser, but I think there are an awful lot who will to judge a person as a whole package, and accept crossdressing as a part of that package, if they are otherwise attracted to him.

Personally, I've never really spent much time "looking" for love. I've only had two more-or-less serious relationships. But both have been with women who were not only accepting, but downright encouraging of my crossdressing, and who fully embraced my femme side. In both cases, I told them early on, and was completely honest about myself. I've found that the odds of finding accepting partners aren't nearly as bad as they're sometimes made out to be.
