I've been out of town all week and, out of paranoia, haven't been accessing CollarMe through my work-issued laptop. :) But I wanted to thank people for their thoughtful replies. Generally I am at a loss to figure out how to pursue women at *all*, let alone women who (a) have a dominant streak and (b) see at least something positive in having a relationship with a cross-dresser. I just don't know where to look. Sites or groups that cater to cross-dressers are usually overwhelmed with single crossdressers seeking women, and almost no unattached women. (I actually was on a mailing list once put together by a woman who was actively seeking a CD to date. I think there were four actual women on the list. One already had a crossdressing mate and was just there to encourage people. One was much too young for me and seeking money slaves besides. The other two liked crossdressers but not "freaks" -- and they were not particularly nice about it; it wasn't a matter of "You're not for me, but good luck," it was more, "You have something seriously wrong with you, ewww." And of course as soon as the founder actually found someone, the mailing list went away. Ah well.) Sites with dominant women usually find the majority not interested in crossdressers. Even when there are a few women interested, there are almost none who are specifically seeking crossdressers, so you're not just competing with the other CDs but with all the other men as well. There are women who are into androgynous or feminine men, but that's not me -- I don't look that way, and when I'm in guy mode I am not particularly feminine, though I am far from "macho." And on top of that, so many dominant women are looking for the succesful, alpha-male type of submissive, which is not me and never will be. So, yeah, it gets pretty discouraging. It's very easy to just not bother trying when the chances of success seem so low. As for trying to get involved with local groups and such -- I don't make friends very easily, and usually have come away from such gatherings feeling more lonely than ever. But, well, you can't give up entirely. As I've written recently, 2009 is shaping up well: Obama takes office in January, there's a new Christopher Moore book due out in February, and the Watchmen movie is coming out as scheduled in March. So maybe things will continue getting better. :)
