Just curious of the number of us who have met other like minded dressers? Also how do you feel about it? I’ve met with other cross dressers and a few curious folks and always had good experiences. Normal or is this an exception? It’s hard, even scary to do but I have to say it was worth it.
For about 10 years I was active in a support group and it was very fun and rewarding.
At first it was scary. Meeting someone else who dressed, the unknown aspects, the self-imposed doubts and fears were a double edged sword. I both wanted and needed to meet others yet was almost petrified to do so.
I'm just so glad I took that step and did. It freed me in ways I can't even express.
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
Hi, I have met a few who like to dress but a lot of them want sex I just want to dress up and enjoy being me not the sex thing.but most of the ones I have met want the sex thing it scares me.i got raped once so I don't trust it so I don't meet others like me I want to but om scared be careful .Have a great day
When I started going out a few years ago. I had this desire to meet others, and I did meet a few.
I’ve been to DVL twice now.
I attended a support group that meets once a week for a while.
You see I had a mission. That was to meet with others, see how they are, to better understand myself.
I actually prefer to be the only TG in a room. I’ve come to enjoy being different.
Not yet but plan to. Thanks for the words of caution Krissy I will keep that in mind. I imagine you dont get much of that at support groups, well hopefully not anyway.
I've met with members on the forum and in a couple of groups that I have joined. Every experience has been fine, as far as looking for sex. I've only had 2 experiences where someone was looking, but I diverted the attempt and that was that. Of course in both cases it was in a club and alcohol was involved and they were both CDs.
I have been out to countless T events and met maybe 500 T's over the years? In the few times I was "hit on" by T's it was a polite question if, "I were interested". Then, dropped forever after that!
T's r so much fun to be with because they know EXACTLY what u have gone thru!
On the other hand, the loudest, rudest comment about Sherry came from a T that could never pass!
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

There are meeting guidelines in the "places to go places to meet" section of the forum.
I would suggest reading them before you meet someone.
I have met a few ladies from here and we've always had a good time talking and sharing thoughts and experiences. Never had a problem, but as Shelly said "There are meeting guidelines in the "places to go places to meet" section of the forum,
I would suggest reading them before you meet someone.". I've never been hit on by any of them, we always met at a public place and it is great to know that we share so much. Like with any group there will be some that you have more in common with than others. Just be safe.
I have met 2 people from this forum in person and both came to my place.
Escapism isn't necessarily bad, but is definitely unhealthy in the long term. While helpful in the short term, things will degrade over time. At some point, the escapee will have to face the issue. Things simply blowing over isn't really going to happen in many situations.
I've met up with many other crossdressers and the results are the same as meeting up with non crossdressers.....some are good and others not so good. Nowadays I just go solo whenever I go out.
I have met 10 or so members from here and each time it was very nice.
When I went to support group meetings it was fun and going out to dinner after the meetings was a blast.
Too many in the group started to get too social justice warrior/ trans activist for me and quite hateful and it ruined the group for me so I don't go anymore.
Sadly, I experienced some of this also when I thought I'd try the T support group in Memphis. One just wouldn't stop bashing religious types even though another T sitting next to me was a minister. The others were very nice, though.Originally Posted by Tracii G
I have met two other CDs- one was great, we ate dinner and drab and just talked about our experiences. The other wanted sex and I shut down communication. Hey, that's what you get for trying to make a friend on Craigslist.
Life is too short to be boring.
I'd be willing to meet up with folks....but I'm not quite ready to go out dressed yet...Someday maybe...

I’ve met up with Elizabeth G a bunch of times for lunch in drab when work would bring her closer my way. I would like to meet with more possibly dressed. This could be the year! 363 more days to do something new, right?

Jocelyn, Your profile shows you have friended 179 forum ladies. That's wonderful, but how many actually live in your area? You might try reaching out to those sisters who are close to where you live. Worked for me.
Yes, I belong to a "TG" group, we meet once a month, it is great to talk with some one like yourself.

I have been to a couple of CDs meetings and was well accepted as a MIAD even though others were female emulators.

I met a very diverse group at Keystone conference! Had a helicopter ride from a member here-my first!!! Had a member in the past try to PM me for sexual reasons but I reported them for unwanted advances! Thanks to the mods for taking care of that one! Just be safe! Best wishes! Hugs Lana Mae

Yes, I belong to a meetup group that meets every six weeks or so. I thoroughly enjoy the meet ups.
Please call me Jamie, I always_have crossdressed, I always will, "alwayshave".
There aren't any meetings in my area sadly as I think it could be a lot of fun . Although a friend of the wife's new partner is CDer and will be meeting him later in the month at a party .I'm not sure if I'll raise the subject with him though
Hi Lindseynrva, meeting up I came out in trans support group. Out of the sixty some odd girls I have met 80% of us are what they call part timers. The TG girls do seem to have their own circles but have never been condescending. Speaking in general I have found none of these girls to be overt about sexual encounters. They seem pretty much devoted to presenting the best side of there feminine selves. I all so have a drab lunch group that the wife and go to once a month. My point most of these girls are not Craig's list people and contrary to Society we are not all hanging out to molest little girls in bathrooms. So if get the chance pick safe place and go. Even a drab lunch can be a lot of fun.
I have met other like minded people, usually on my travels, there have been a couple from here as well.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
Never had the opportunity to meet anyone personally, or one on one, but I did have a chance to meet up with others while I was a member of a support group a few years ago. That was a great experience that I wouldn't mind repeating someday. As for a personal, or one on one meet up....maybe someday! It would be nice to have a friend or two who also enjoy dressing and would like to share some of the same interests from time to time.
