I’m curious about something and would genuinely like to hear from people with experience or interested.

Are there actually (maybe in Sri Lanka) women who are interested in crossdressers as a friend? And even make a girl's group with him.

I’ve noticed something that makes me wonder: I am a girl friend of a crossdressing guy who is supportive and helps with clothes, makeup, styling, dressing up together etc.

But for years he is looking for another girl to join, tells to find another girl, so we can dress up and spend time with another woman who is also interested. I have some insecurities such as will he replace me over a new girl and he keeps saying such things won't happen we are doing this only to have fun. So trusting him.

It sounds like a “three girls hanging out/party” dynamic - dressing up, chatting, drinking, watching movies, having parties, etc.

Is this actually a thing?

For women who are into this, what made you comfortable with it? And for crossdressers who already have supportive girl friend, do you actually look for other women to join this kind of social circle? Have you really already created such circle? If so how is it going?

Would be interested in hearing honest ideas, experiences without any judgements.

Are there actually Sri Lankan women who are interested in men who crossdress, or who are comfortable with their boyfriend/husband/ guy friend crossdressing?

I’ve noticed something that makes me wonder: some crossdressing guys already have girl friends who are supportive and help them with clothes, makeup, styling, dressing up together etc. But sometimes it seems like the guy is looking for another girl to join them, tells even to the girl to find another girl, so the CD and his girl friend can dress up and spend time with another woman who is also interested.

It sounds like a “three girls hanging out/party” dynamic - the crossdressing guy presenting as a girl together with his girl friend and another girl, dressing up, chatting, drinking, watching movies, having parties, etc.

Is this actually a thing in Sri Lanka, or am I just seeing a very small niche online?

Does anyone know where to find a good lip sealant/lip sealer product in Sri Lanka? (To stop smudging lipstick) Went to several shops and always only recommending lip liners or lip definers (which still smudge) or they don't know about sealers. Doubt about Daraz and other online platform lip sealants.

As a 32F who is making amendments in life by starting to go therapy, starting to have routine, healthy diet, exercises, trying to manage mental health which occurred due to work, controlling family, marriage pressure with body shame need some advises, maybe suggestions from you all.

1. How to become more independent and financially stable while being at Colombo? (Having a busy work schedule so know any online side hustles? Or starting a business) Parents are always against, disagree or say something negative whatever I do.

2. Started masters at 2022, eneded all exams but couldn't finish the dissertation on 2024 due to some reasons (lack of guidance, dissapointemnts on bias towards some people). Uni don't give much direction to options. So is it possible to get at least PgD? and later start a PhD after mentally physically stable (having 2nd upper in BSc Information Systems)

3. How to start having meaningful frienships? Geeks, readers might be best. Working even weekends so going out is very limited and Parents always said no need friends or they did something to break frienship (for an example mother called to one of guy friend's wife and made a scene while i am having dengue) So now I am trying to take over the control of my own life.

4. How to find a good guy partner? For yrs parents strictly said don't start any relationships, listened to them, for 5yrs they are searching for a guy but didn't match, and now feel like they are desparate about finding one like anyone is fine for you which is not. Dating apps, paper ads, kapuwas.. nothing worked or understand my basic requirements.

I (30'sF) grew up in a very controlling household where my parents have always drilled into me that "there's no such thing as friends, you only have family." Any friendships I tried to have as a kid eventually faded or ended.

For the past 10 years, my only real friend has been a guy who's about 14 years older than me. He's been incredibly supportive. His wife, their 2-year-old kid, and his elderly father all liked me too, and I used to visit their place.

While I was recovering from dengue, my mom called his wife pretending to ask about dengue but to find how many times i visit and basically told her that men and women can't be friends and that she needs to stop me from coming over. They had heated conversation. His wife got upset and said she can't deal with my mother anymore, so now their home is off-limits. My parents who don't care about boundaries are demanding I end the friendship entirely.

My friend has reassured me that he's not abandoning me as a friend, but obviously I can't visit anymore. He's been telling me for years to make more friends (not just rely on him), and now he's suggesting I try to find female friends instead.

The problem is... how do I even do that? I'm so isolated, and this whole situation has left me feeling even more alone. How do you actually go about making new friends as an adult when you've basically never had a normal social circle?

Any advice would be appreciated. Feeling pretty lost right now.
