I can count my times out on one hand, but this weekend I had an opportunity, and found myself enjoying an evening with three other crossdressers, one of whom is also on this forum. It was very enjoyable. I had a great time bonding with them, and it was a liberating experience.
But early on in the evening, I figured out that I should not discuss our considerable differences in politics or religion, and that each of us had very different interests outside of crossdressing. I could not add a thing to the discussion on motorcycles. None of them knew anything about sailing, a passion greater than my crossdressing.
Is one commonality enough for a relationship? I don't know, but I found myself regretting that I could find crossdressers to be friends with, but that it seems impossible to find friends that are crossdressers. I suppose that if I were "out" it would be easier, but I am not.
How do the rest of you deal with this? I really don't mean thus to sound harsh, but are you satisfied with crossdressing "acquaintances"? Do you search for common interests, or just enjoy this little compartment of you life, distinct from the rest?
