I've thought about just mingling in a supposed safe environment (club), but, it seems most of them are pick up joints. Being married I'm not interested. Being straight I'm not interested in guys, who are "interested" in CDers. They are directly in conflict with my core beliefs.
The only advertisements I've ever seen on the Internet that appeal to me are the CD conventions. Total anaminity and no requirement to continue further in developing a friendship. No guys trolling for sex. The annual event in Port Angeles, WA appears to be a pleasant event, since it is an annual event, in part hosted and promoted by the town. The locals are use to it.
Somehow it is all rather confusing. Do you seek a friend just because he also wears clothes? Is there a mutual interest other than wearing feminine clothing? Great to meet once in awhile. But, all the time? If I met somebody who shared my hobbies, I wouldn't care if he was straight, gay, a cross-dresser or a woman. Ever go to one of those cocktail parties where everyone is bored out of their skulls? I'd really have to think about it.
