Hi,
I don't remember if this has been posted before by someone else, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for good trans dating sites or what the best ones are? Or is it better to go to LGBTQ places and try to meet people IRL?
@inuyasha Well, from my perspective, I wouldn't consider any online stuff. Chalk it up to my older aged cautious sense, but too uncertain for me. Plus, I'd never post them here anyway. People are, well, people people. We thrive on physical interaction. Heck, I'd feel far better in joining a local group, or find a support center. We have often posted about an online directory of Community Centers; CenterLink. When someone has mentioned that they were looking for a support center close to them, the first thing I do is dig in our own Local Places directory, and then looks at CenterLink ( https://www.lgbtqcenters.org/LGBTCenters ). There is also a great online source for get togethers for all sorts of interests from MeetUp. If you like chess, they have that, or boating, hiking, playing cards, square dancing.... You get the picture. If humans do it (PG-13 rated of course), they probably have some group that gets together to do it. I've never been one to want to spend time with someone just to date. I find someone with similar interests so we have something in common, then develop that into a friendship. If it moves to dating, then so be it. If not, you just made a good friend. Hugs
Thank you for the advice, MeetUp sounds interesting.
The downside with online dating is that you can't really tell if someone is real or if they are just faking, but with in person dating then you have to approach people and try to start up a conversation (which can be intimidating).
A trans woman looking to date men? Many of us would like to do that also. Straight women I think have a tough time also unless they are high-value beautiful. I guess LGBTQ venues are the way to go. Maybe others can say - for me, I have envisioned visiting LGBTQ bars in the metro areas, eventually meeting trusted people who share similar interests, develop friendships, with intimacy coming later. All of society is lonely. I would love intimacy (in varying degrees) with a man but that will likely never happen.
Actually, a trans man looking to date someone (not sure if I'm looking for a particular gender for a partner or not). Yeah, technology is supposed to bring all people together, but in many ways, it also pushes everyone apart more.
Don't give up yet, I'm sure there's some guy out there that would love to spend time with you!
I've never really had a good experience with online or in-person dating, so I quit. I have talked about it sometimes. You easily meet people who are too good to be true and you may end up harassed (which has happened to me) or assaulted (which I've only heard stories about) on some occasions. I actually prefer going out to chat with people I know and have a good time. Sometimes someone interesting comes along.
