My experience with dating women as a man (I’m trans M2F now), is similar to many men, but my choice in what to do about it, is more unique.

Regarding my experience in dating women, I was reminded of it the other day when I saw an ad from a dating site (Bumblebee or something), that “I can just be myself”. That made me laugh because that always got me into trouble. For some reason most women did NOT at all like me when I was myself - creative, quirky, expressive, interest in peoples unique lives, playing music on the piano and guitar and following my dreams. Instead they wanted a docile boyfriend who focused on them almost exclusively, and was predictable, like all the standard things like TV shows, romantic movies and gestures (smooth talking like in the movies), good dancer. That’s not me…all that fake, programmed stuff.

I’ve had tons of men complain about this, and most of them fall into place. Doing things they hate doing, all the fake programmed romance script they are supposed to follow. Falling in line as a beta male, repressing their real selves and passions.

I couldn’t do that. I experimented with cross dressing after getting divorced (starting with Halloween), and people loved me. I could express my passion and love of life…something i couldn’t do as a man. So I just did what I enjoyed, and where people appreciated me. So I became a woman. And pretty soon started dating men…because they appreciated me.

(I even wrote a book about it)
