Again, women are NOT the problem. There are a lot of women who would have no problem dating a CD but so much of it depends on who you are in your life. Many CD's are closeted and that's fine, there's nothing wrong with having a private life but how deep does your closet go? Many CD's act like macho douche bags out in the world but then put on a bra and panties and come on this forum and giggle and titter like raging queens. I understand the need (or desire) for privacy but even a woman who would love a CD boyfriend doesn't want any part of a weirdo with two personalities.

This all gets down to self acceptance and I say this over and over and over but until you can be comfortable with who you are, you have very little hope of ever allowing anyone else to be comfortable with you. Being in the closet doesn't mean only dressing at home, in your closet. I know for a fact that there are couples who do lots of gender play in the bedroom and the man considers himself a CD but he is not hung up about it. He has a good time with it and because of that, his wife has a good time with it. Now the guy I know doesn't walk around acting macho. He's a dude, he loves the Giants, he rides a Harley and he isn't attracted to men in the least but he will dress up at the drop of a hat for parties and whatnot. He is careful because he's not out to anyone but his circle of friends but he is beloved because he's a fun guy. He is married but I will guarantee you that he would not have a problem finding a woman. I would be all over him, and I'm on record as not being attracted to CD's.

It ain't the cross-dressing kids. It's the attitude.
