My friend Susan is back, after a short hiatus from the world of online dating (“I am NEVER going to do this again, and you can’t make me”). I had my work cut out for me. I gave her a lot of reasons why she should jump back in (“You are a fabulous woman and you deserve a fabulous guy blah blah blah) but it wasn’t until I told her that for lack of anything better to write about, I was planning a 20 part series on my cat. That’s when she caved. So Susan is back on the hunt, and I can continue not thinking about my cat.
Here is the latest letter she has received. I have not made any of this up. My literary talents don’t stretch that far.
Yes, I’m another Cross dresser, transvestite, oh who knows. I can assure you, I’m harmless and quite entertaining at times! And you can spare me the ridicule and harassment because you should know we thrive on that! I’m married and although my wife is aware of this affliction and has contributed somewhat, she generally does not enjoy or participate in my lifelong hobby.
Please note the use of the phrase “another cross dresser,” implying that he believes that Susan’s Inbox is fill to bursting with cross dressers. I’m thinking that when he has contacted women in the past, they have responded with “Thank you for contacting me, but I am currently in a relationship with another cross dresser, and I have a very small closet as it is.”
Now about all these labels, tranny, cross dresser.. whatever… I like being a boy, I’m not changing my sex nor do I want to live as a woman. It’s a sensual and sexual thing.. suitable for special evening and weekend entertainment. I can actually look pretty good with a generous bit of decoration! ( a few drinks works wonders there too). And oh the fun and games we could have when the Strumpet in me comes out!
This is something I can understand and relate to. I, also, look pretty good with a generous bit of decoration. On the other hand, although I have birthed three children, I have never had a strumpet come out of me.
Long ago, my soul was occupied by a very feminine being from Venus. Yes I know, typical alien abduction story, I’ll spare you the details and all that stuff about the “Probe”.. BUT the Strumpets as they prefer to be called will take over the planet Earth on, you guessed it, Dec 21 2012!
I know about alien abduction. I watch the sci-fi channel, and I’ve seen Donald Trump. I know about probes. Don’t spare me the details. Please.
My inner soul is now at the whim of the queen of the Strumpets and part of the scouting party that will eventually take over and make all men their slaves. Got your attention now I’ll bet! I’m looking forward to this because the Strumpets will make me the ruling queen and oh the clothes I’ll be able to wear. We would have fun shopping! I prefer the classy secretarial look and love retro anything.
I’m having a problem, here. I was just getting into the image of the Strumpet Queen. I could maybe in a pinch stretch to Office Donut Cart Slut, but classy secretarial look doesn’t work for me.
I’m not sure why I’m here…
I’m not either, but you’ll have to excuse me. I have less than 10 months left to prepare for the Strumpet Invasion of Planet Earth.

The only reason I would sign up for online dating is for the shear entertainment. I wouldn’t date anyone, just read the daffy profiles and see what ends up in my in box.
Scary people out there. Weird and scary. I also wonder how much of it is real.
Love your side comments. Thats’ about how I would take it all in. You have to be open minded and have a great sense of humor to belong to sites like that.

It’s easy for me to have a sense of humor about the whole thing because I’m happily partnered. I’d get a wee bit test with all this stuff.

Initially I thought, you know, good for him. Going to get a lot of raised eyebrows, but then find just that right person (who is not his wife, but is, apparently cool with it?). Then came the alien abduction… I suppose a response of “It’s okay that you cross-dress. It doesn’t have to have been forced upon you by an alien power” would be a little too direct, wouldn’t it?

I would rather lick all the bathrooms in central station with my tongue, drink bleach and chew rocks than to be on the dating sites (7 years of icky)
I won’t settle for icky. I am an amazing woman: a Freshman at age 65, because I wrote about my life and won a scholarship. I have written my memoir and a poetry book (endorsed by Elie Wiesel, Wayne Dyer, Nikki Giovanni, Drs. Alice Miller, Larry Dossey, Oriah (14 in all)…www.soulpoetry.org
I am a moderator of an abused survivors’ group, member of the American Counseling Association, Vietnam era Veteran, etc., etc….
Working like a “Trojan” to make a difference in the world, and recipient of the University’s “Distinguished Undergraduate Award.”
Dancer, singer, author, poetess and “Driven” to make a difference in the world regarding the abuse of women; making a YouTube Video in regards to that…1 in 3 women are living in silence, fear and shame behind closed doors; that is over 52 miliion in the U.S. After 31 years of abuse, I found the courage (because of reading The Verbally Abusive Relationship by Patricia Evans) to get a divorce; then was met with spiritual abuse; a church who voted me out of membership, with my name up on a big screen, followed by the words; Conduct Unbecoming a Child of God.” Called to a meeting of 14 “men”/deacons, not allowed to have a woman with me and asked “Are you still having sex with your ex?!” No boundaries.
Without my faith, wicked wit an sense of humor, I would be drooling in a corner.
http://www.churchabusepoetrytherapy.com was the result of this debacle….I fought the spiritual abuse for 18 months to try and stop the pastor..of disaster….from counseling any more women, because 2 of the women he “counseled” wanted to commit suicide.
I will never be silent where injustice is concerned and I will keep on writing to Oprah/OWN Network, newspapers, magazines, etc…..until I can use my experience and voice, for those…..who have none.

Rotflmao I love it! Too funny!!
He got on quite a roll and got scarier and scarier! A strumpet invasion? A Queen strumpet? I don’t even know what a strumpet is or what one looks like. I am going to be leary of all secretaires from now on. I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep at night. Where do these people come from? Holy crap!

I have a friend with size 11 1/2 feet. A veteran of many Barney’s warehouse sales, she says that trannies are not to be trifled with, especially when shopping at 70 percent off. So as crazy as all that is, what I’d fear most is the “shopping fun.”

Seriously, how does Susan manage to attract these guys? What is on HER dating page??
Don’t spare me the details of The Probe … OH, and btw, I was watching the Today show this morning by mistake and saw a loooong bit on this new racy book 50 Shades of Grey …about all this s&m bondage stuff that apparently is what every woman secretly wants. My very first thought (after — it’s m&m’s that does it for me) was “OMG, Renee has to write about 10 columns on this!! ” Happy Friday!

I am going to try to find this and write about it. If I do I will credit you. As the person who directed me to it, not the inspiration for the book.

Oh wow. After reading this all I can say (and I’m sure all your readers feel the same way) is…what is Susan doing dating married men? She’s better be careful or they’ll elect HER Queen of the Strumpets.

This was an unsolcited correspondence someone sent to her on the site. I know another woman who met a man online who told her he was divorced and they dated for a couple months. She found out that his single statues was a figment of his imagination.

I understand there’s a lot of that going around.
Would have thought the inmates at Shady Acres wouldn’t be allowed access to the interwebz but Mr. Queen’s invitation to Susan shows that is not the case.

I don’t know which is better – your post or Alice’s reply! Dating! Yikes! I’ve been married for 27 1/2 (yes the half counts) years and we dated for 2, so I tell everyone we’ve been together for 30 years. He’s almost trained. LOL.

Good lord, this is incredible.
But will the strumpets let him wear the classy secretarial look? Also, I love how he says, “I know, just another alien invasion story” like everyone’s using those to get women.
Why can’t he just say he likes to dress up in women’s clothing?

I wonder if Strumpets like Crumpets . . . or tea with jam and bread?
Your last paragraph says it all . . . 😀

I’ll have the tea and cakes ready for the Strumpet invasion, along with maybe some Christmas cookies. If they do show up, I doubt if Santa Claus will be making his rounds. I am still laughing… by the way, I have a strumpet that lives up the street from me, he walks by most days around 12 noon with his little walker. I think he is about 60 or so… what a mental picture I bet your getting with that one.

Hey, thanks for visiting Life in the Boomer Lane. The motto of this cuntry should be Life, Liberty and the right to be a Strumpet. If we could all express our inner Strumpet, there would be less mayhem and politicians would look a lot more interesting.
