hahaha am I reading this correctly, but are there people in this thread calling certain crossdressers "creepy" because they're not over-extroverted bar hoppers kicking up their heels and screaming 'hey everyone look at me' into a bullhorn?
I think some people are just the quiet type and/or just don't enjoy the bar-club scene. or maybe shy/withdrawn. I just don't think it's fair to judge socially awkward people and call them creepy just because they aren't comfortable in certain social situations.
I personally have never had a problem finding a date or picking up girls as my male self. However, I've never bothered as a CD. Not sure why, and I've dated at least two different girls who I'm sure would have been totally cool with it, one of them would've probably been really into it, but for whatever reason I just wasn't ready to cross that line. Also, this was when I was still in my early 20s and only an occasional part-timer and didn't want ANYONE at to know about it. Nowadays, I almost don't even care who knows. I'm still not going to throw it in peoples faces.
If someone doesn't want to associate with you because of how you choose to present yourself, that's THEIR problem not yours.
