The Dating Game

Comment by Julia Giannopoulos on October 25, 2012 at 12:33pm

When I was on a dating site I stated upfront that I was a transsexual/Intersexed female instead of putting it in the body of my bio.

Before that I was getting hundreds of responses a week from lesbians that did not bother to read but only look at my photo's and assume I was a genetic female.

If your hunting for the mythical male that will want a relationship for you instead of what dangles between your legs then your more optimistic than the pope is about heaven,  trust me on that.

 Your only putting a loaded gun in your mouth if you don't  disclose what you are to any man out there and then actually go on a date with one.

I assume you don't wish to become a statistic. If not I highly suggest full disclosure in your ad.

Hi Jessie, you may like to look at my blogs.  I posed a similar question last year or around the first of the year.  It is always a hard question.  I never tried to date until after surgery and them choose to let them have the opportunity to know me first.  But always during the first meeting, I would ask if there were any questions they may have for me. If they did not ask if I was TG, I did not tell.  It worked well for me.  I had several return dates.

Hugs, Galina

While I do kind of agree with you Brooke and Galina as far as waiting until after GRS for dating but I hope for someone to love me in spite of everything and that will help me through and be there to cheer me on and through the ups and downs of surgery and everything else in life. A partner to be us against the world! Please take care and thank you for your comments. Oh and Julia YES I do not wish to become a statistic which is why I decided to divulge that on my profile though it weeds out most it does pose a challenge to scrutinize those that are interested to ensure that they are not just looking for one thing only! Now post-op I am unsure of how I will handle it though if it is serious they must now at some time. I consider myself a woman also Brooke and I find many on this website as a role model and someone to look up to and aspire for greater things and to be the best me that I can be! Thank you all!! Hugs!!

I'm happy that you have divulged that on your profile Jessie.

Always better to be safe than sorry in a situation such as this. :O)
