The catch 22 that is online dating for TS women.

It's a great theory! ... I don't quite know what the statistics of finding a trans woman would be though :/ .. Or for a trans woman to find the perfect partner, as there are obviously a lot of other social factors involved in that. Makes me want to research it

I suspect the odds are better for finding a TS soulmate or the other way around than most might think. In general however I think although two paths may cross the odds of actually making the connection is something else. And thats the problem im thinking... That folks these days dont open up. Sometimes its hard enough to just say "hi how are you ?" So the connections that could be are lost.

IMHO,
If one happens to meet a transgender woman outside of the online world and nightclub life, then the odds are with you at least striking a relationship - if not only a friendly one

I've dated a few trans women through OKC; my profile says 'trans friendly' somewhere, and it's never really been an issue.

1) The girls or "girls" act too crazy, vain and generally OTT
2) The majority of them are working girls,...
3) Therefore there is blatent rivalry with one another, with each girl attempting to show off.
4) The guys stand around the edge whilst the girls dance in the middle of the room, making it feel like a meat market!

Pretty much every TS club I've been to...no matter what the city.

It's truly a sad and funny and depressing thing isn't it?
We guys all know that online dating is a wash, way too many guys to few women and the guys out there...wooh some of them are prolific texters.
One of my friends who is online dating says she receives up to 30 emails a day! and over and over again from the same guys most of the time....so she killed her account.
So now if a GG has this kind of problem...what would a poor TS woman have to deal with?
In the ideal world we would all be blind to our gender states and judge based on chemistry. But that's not how things work....

The ladies want to meet prince charming who will fall in love with her as a full fledged woman and just accept her transition.....can it happen....sure maybe.
And the guys are looking for that cute TS girl next door who has a kinky side and a love of making cup cake.....can it happy....sure maybe.

I guess in the end its not so much about "working" to send out text messages or having the right photo and the right profile.....maybe it's just all a crap shoot?
A big old poorly built poorly operated casino game?

Love and luck? Well you don't have to be crossing all the social barriers that relationships of mixed gender orientation create to need luck. When it involves mixed gender orientation there are greater challenges like friends acceptance (both ways) comfort in public, in social work situations. These all exist in any relationship by they magnify in unconventional relationships. All that working takes a bit of luck beyond the normal boundaries of love IMHO. But every day people are making it work because they find beyond the sexual attraction a soul mate for life. That's how I am seeing it any way.

The trick is to get out of the house, disconnect from "the net", and just be yourself......
