Searching for a sympathetic partner

[JamieToo]

After reading some of the posts regarding members who have sympathetic partners, I began to wonder if there is a successful method of searching out such a partner. In other words, before you actually meet a girl, and when you are actively looking for a partner; is there a method to target girls that will be accepting of your crossdressing and even participate in it? If anyone has had such a successful experience, please reply. I am not looking for those who met their wife or girlfriend, established a relationship, and then told them that they crossdressed, discovering in the process that they were accepting of crossdressing. I'm looking for those that established a relationship with a girl that they somehow knew would be accepting. It seems to me that if such a method exists, it would prevent a lot of turmoil and heartbreak.

I don't have any idea if there is any dating service out there already that possibly has a place to checkmark a "desire a crossdresser" place or not. But even if such a site exists, don't you think you would be eliminating quite a few great candidates for the mere reason that they may not even have thought about dating a crossdreser or know much about the subject yet?
I.M.H.O. it would be better to date someone and early on find out if they would like to explore a relationship with a CD. You can always bail out if she doesn't without much time or commitment into it.

The thing is, you can do it but it helps to be out. For example, I met the girl I'm currently seeing on OkCupid, a dating website. I included that I crossdress in my ad. I didn't dwell on it, just mentioned it and moved on. I also included photos of me in skirts in addition to ones of me doing other stuff in boy clothes. It probably reduced the number of girls who would be interested in dating me, but I'm ok with that because I met a girl who was fine with and we've had a lot of fun so far.

I met my wife via Match.com. I did not allude to my cross dressing in the ad, but I did try to convey the sense that I was open minded and enjoyed exploration. as it happens, she was attracted to these concepts. It was still a few months before I felt that I needed to elaborate. Fortunately, things have worked out very well!

Good question. You could hang out at a lesbian bar for example. But gay women are interested and attracted to women.
You could try to find a bi woman...but how...and there is no guarantee that they would be interested in a CD. Maybe...maybe not. And perhaps you would not be attracted to them.
i think Stephanie has the right idea--Jive Turkey, too.

if any out there finds the answer to this question...please let me in on it.:daydreaming:

I don't think there's a method per se.

I like Kim's example, where she says she posted an ad indicating the need for some measure of open-mindedness. Fortunately, the right kind of people replied.

I guess that's the best way to go about it. Open up, even if in an oblique way, about your CDing and let the right people find you.

I agree with Stephanie.Dont take for granted that everyone on the planet has thought thru what they would do if asked to be a friend to a crossdress.Or any other gender/minority/species,etc for that matter

I would like to add that the phrase "open-minded" and "enjoy exploration" seemed to trigger quite a bit of interest. I think there are lots of people out there who want more than just a vanilla experience with an SO.

I think it's luck of the draw. i think you should tell them early on in the relationship. after all i waited almost twenty two years
how did i know i would like to dress in womens clothing
early on.

There R GGs there, that want to find CD partners. I haven't had any luck. But, that's because not many grannies have signed up there!:sad:
