Transgender dating sites are becoming increasingly popular since they offer so much more than ordinary dating sites can offer. First of all, the member diversity of these platforms will provide you with an unforgettable experience. But this can be a tricky part, as people tend to lie on their online profiles. Why they do that, read on this source.
Checking thousands of members of all ages, interests, and sexual orientations will allow you to experience how exciting dating sites and apps can be. It’s the best way to see what they offer to their members. Some sites ask for a paid membership, but most of them are free.
Internet dating platforms and proper apps offer a variety of possibilities for everyone. These websites are the most popular places to find a friend, an adventure, or even your significant other for a lifetime. Transgender dating sites will provide you with a much bigger array of possibilities and opportunities to choose from.
Before you decide to take on this journey, you should know your preferences and what you are looking to find. Only then, you’ll be able to realize if transgender dating sites are your places to be or not. Figuring out what are your preferences about finding a partner shouldn’t be a hard part. Even if you’re unsure, you’ll get the idea once you enter the website.
By knowing what you’re searching for, dating websites will be much easier to understand and use. At first, they seem a bit confusing with all the options and subdirectories they have. But after a while, you’ll get used to them.
First of all, transgender people are like everyone else. The only difference is how they feel inside their own skin. That’s not something to make a big fuss about. Everyone should do themselves a favor and sign up to a transgender dating site or app to find a transgender friend or partner.
You’d be surprised how many transsexual people live among us, and we are not aware of them. We can help them feel more comfortable by meeting them, listening to what they have to say, and fall in love with them if that’s how we feel at the moment. Many heterosexuals discovered their true love among the transgender population, and they’ve never regretted their decision.
For people dating a transsexual for the first time, here are some useful tips:

Meeting new people is always fun, but discovering new things is much better. Having a transgender friend may help you overcome prejudices about them. Being open-minded to people different from you makes you a better person.
First of all, exploring new horizons is always a good thing. Secondly, dating websites for transsexuals can be exciting beyond comprehension. They are created like any other website we’ve used on the network. Only these platforms will provide you with so more fun and engaging content.
The security and anonymity these sites provide are incredibly high since their main goal is to provide its users with an excellent experience while keeping their privacy safe. Only if you decide to become a paid member, you’ll need to leave some of your personal information. But if you’re not sure about that, stay on the safe side and have only a free account.
Transgender sites will allow you to explore various members from different orientation categories. They’ll also provide you with the opportunity to meet many new people that you might never meet in real life that easily. Maybe you’ll be surprised to find someone you know.
There are no many differences between website and application in terms of use. These are almost the same thing but intended for different devices. Since people nowadays prefer to surf the Internet on their smartphones or tablets, dating websites decided to create apps too. They allow users to enjoy their service while on the move. Mobile-friendly platforms are much easier to use, providing you access to the website anyplace, anywhere.
Being able to move and use a dating app on the go opened many new doors to the online dating community. Using mobile apps allows you to stay in touch with your peers regularly and wherever you are, instead of running towards your computer to see if there are any updates on your profile.
Some mobile devices can’t provide you with the best experience if you use them to visit the best transgender dating websites. Some of them aren’t optimized for mobile devices yet, so you have to find an alternative if you prefer being online on the go. Apps don’t require much storage space, installation is simple, and the experience they provide is better than many desktop websites.
Numerous transgender dating websites and apps offer free membership or trial membership accounts. The free membership account may be restricted to some high-end services, but you’ll always have access to the essential offer.
Premium services are for the people that aren’t capable of finding a partner by using their profiles and skills. Instead, they need help from the platform’s matchmakers to set up a meeting or recommend them a date, for example.
With a bit of imagination and some soft skills, you’ll easily get in touch with other members. They may become your new best friend, a lover, or even a partner for life. Who knows? The opportunities you have by using transgender dating platforms and apps are vast. Subscribe to several of them so you’ll be up to date with promotions, discounts, and all other benefits they offer to their users.
Sex & Relationships
Janelle Villapando has been swiping left and right for years and in that time, she's noticed a few patterns among the men she meets
As a transgender woman, my relationship with online dating is complicated to say the least.
With my accounts on OkCupid, Tinder, Hinge, Coffee Meets Bagel and ChristianMingle, I am subjected to the same kind of messages from Mr. Washboard-Abs-No-Face and unsolicited dick pics that most women, unfortunately, receive. But searching for Mr. Right as a transgender woman (I was born male, but identify and present as female) adds a whole new dimension to digital dating.
Since transitioning in 2014, I haven’t reacted positively to guys who hit on me in person because I haven’t mastered the art of telling them that we have “the same parts.” For the past three years, Tinder has been my gateway into online dating as a transgender woman.
As a 22-year-old grad starting a career in fashion (and hopefully, one day, my own size-inclusive clothing line), I am drawn to guys who are funny and ambitious. There’s no bigger turn-off than someone who does the bare minimum—except maybe body odour. In terms of looks, I prefer taller guys. Being 5’9″, I still like to be able to look up to my man, literally. So, whenever I see 6’2″ or taller on a guy’s profile, it’s almost an automatic right swipe.

As a trans woman on dating apps, I’ve always made sure that guys are aware that I am transgender. This avoids wasting each other’s time. There have also been many documented cases of trans women being hurt and sometimes even killed when they disclose their status to transphobic men that found them attractive, so being completely transparent is also a way of protecting myself from potentially dangerous situations.
As I click, message and swipe through the world of online dating, I’ve quickly learned that there are at least three different types of guys: those who fetishize trans women, those who are curious but cautious, and those who simply don’t read. Unfortunately, these labels don’t appear on their profiles.
I usually get very forward messages from guys who just want me for my body. They view me as exotic, a kink, something new to try.
These guys want to chill somewhere less public or exclusively at their place so they won’t be seen with me. I have actually “dated” (if you can even call it that) some of these men, including one guy who checked his apartment’s hallway to make sure his neighbours wouldn’t see me leave his place. Another guy made sure even his social media presence wasn’t linked to mine. He lied about not having an Instagram account, then when I “came across it” and liked one of his pictures in spite, he blocked me.
With these kind of guys, I’ve felt like I was their dirty little secret, and at first, I thought this type of interaction was the closest thing to a relationship I was going to have as a trans woman. But I finally reached my limit when one of my dates bumped into someone he knew when we were together. Despite the fact that we were on our third date, he didn’t even acknowledge my existence as I stood there a couple feet from him while he talked to his friend. His silence told me exactly how much I meant to him. After realizing that I deserved so much better and was wasting my time with these guys, I stopped giving them attention.
After one too many encounters with men who were fetishizing me, I started to spend time on guys who actually wanted to get to know me. These are men who find me attractive, but are initially hesitant because of my trans-ness. With these men, I went on dates in public at the movies, or a chill restaurant, and I was viewed as more than a new sexual experience—but I don’t think I was seen as potential relationship material either. One guy in particular seemed to really like me. We vibed well and there was sexual tension building during our dates. Then poof, he was gone. After a month, he reached out to me saying he couldn’t be with me because I am transgender. He was concerned about how his sexuality would “change.”
I had another similar experience on a first date where a man greeted me, hugged me, then said he left something in his car. After a couple of minutes, I got a text from him while waiting alone at our table that said he had to leave because my transgender status was giving him anxiety. After that, I stopped chasing guys who were too concerned about their feelings to even think about mine. Red flags like continually postponing dates and constantly asking, “When are you getting the surgery?” helped me whittle down the number of guys I talked to by half.
Thanks to Tinder, profile pictures say more than a thousand words—and actual words seem to be irrelevant on our profiles. While most people only consider the profile pic before swiping right or left, for me, the text on my profile is crucial. Even since Tinder introduced more genders to choose from than just the binary male and female, it doesn’t show your gender on the swiping screen. I get plenty of matches on Tinder, but within 24 hours around half of them un-match or block me after reading my profile. Whenever I do start talking to guys who “stick around,” I make sure that they know I am transgender before meeting them.

However, I recently went on a date with a guy who was tall, handsome, funny and had his shit (relatively) together. We met in the late afternoon and enjoyed our frozen yogurt in perfect patio weather. It was going really well! At the end of the date, our first kiss quickly turned into a handsy makeout session in the backseat of my car. Before it went further, I did my routine check of asking, “You know I’m transgender right?” expecting he was going to say yes and carry on. Instead, he looked at me with a blank face.
He started yelling that I never told him. I responded saying it was all over my OkCupid profile, which it turns out he never read. He said, “I’m bouncing; that’s f-cked up,” and jumped out of the car, spat on the ground, slammed the car door and walked away. I sat in the back seat of my car in complete shock.
In that moment, I was mostly concerned about my safety. I stayed in my back seat for probably five minutes to make sure he was gone. When I got back into the front seat to drive home, I still felt uneasy. What if he’s still around? What if he’s going to try to hurt me?
I touched up my makeup, reapplied my lipstick and put the car in drive. Once I got out of the area I started processing what had happened. I knew that it was all going too well for him to even be interested in me. Until that awkward moment, I thought, “Is this how easy dating could be if I were a cisgender woman?” I had gone from the girl that my date was kissing to someone he found disgusting all because of a single word: transgender.
Not all guys I’ve talked to fall into these three categories. I’ve gone on dates with guys who seem to be genuinely into me and are accepting of my trans identity, but there’s no magical combination of spark, chemistry and attraction.
I seem to only be attracted to guys who are no good for me—and I know that I’m not the only woman, trans or not, who feels that way. Since that incident with the guy in my car, I’ve slowed down my activity on dating apps. I thought about deleting all my dating apps, but it’s still my main way of meeting guys. Plus, what if the perfect guy slides into my DM, right? I haven’t lost hope, and my friends continue to encourage me. If I had a dime for every time someone said that I’ll find love when I least expect it, I’d be driving a hot pink Bugatti right now (all white interior, please). If that’s truly the case, I hope he’s 6’4″ and messages me with a cheesy pick-up line.
