My experience is different. Sixteen years ago - when I was in my early 50s - my marriage collapsed with CD as only one of many long simmering issues. I already knew from being just a little bit out that some - a few- women found cross-dressing men to be interesting, whilst no women ever found any interest in men who kept deep secrets from them. So I reasoned that the way to find a friendly woman was to be out with it in the first place, and I started dressing two or three days a week, mostly in Manhattan. I made more new friends than I lost, and within 18 months I had met the wonderful woman whom I married in 2010. Contra to assertions higher in this thread, she is delighted to have a cross-dressing man and has no problem whatsoever with it.
So I think if I was single again, in these days of online dating, since I know I am CD and do not expect that to change, I would not hesitate to put it in my profile. There are real women out there who would enjoy knowing a CD man. Your chances of finding one at random are pretty low, but much better if you can get out with it in the first place. My 2 cents, as one who has truly been there.
