Mrlonelyone Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Wanted one person to love and accept me as I am. About me: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/44056292/ME.jpg I like the occasional adventure, long bike rides, and quiet nites at home. I am a non-op transsexual. 5' 10'',155 lbs, 38-26-38 mixed with African American, American Indian, and white. I hold a with a MS and good job prospects. About who I want: Men preferred but could be of either gender and any physical sex. Must take good care of their personal appearance and health. My height give or take a few inches at the most. Must be confident. Can deal with the fact that I work long hours. Does it sound like my standards are too high? Edited August 31, 2012 by Mrlonelyone
strongnrelaxed Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 You do not sound unreasonable in what you are expecting. The challenge for you is that the pool of willing candidates will be small. You can also expect a bunch of numbskulls to make rude comments. Good luck.
Author Mrlonelyone Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Small because I'm transgendered and all kinds of folks have problems with that? Small because i'm generally un attractive in some physical way? (you know not knowing anything if you saw me sitting there would you think I was utterly unappealing?)
xxoo Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Small because i'm generally un attractive in some physical way? (you know not knowing anything if you saw me sitting there would you think I was utterly unappealing?) I can't get the link to work, but I think I remember viewing your photo before--and you are gorgeous. Small because I'm transgendered and all kinds of folks have problems with that? This one, sadly. Would you disagree? I think you'd have the best luck in a large city, with a strong LGBT community. And you probably could throw out the height prerequisite, to allow the greatest pool possible for finding a compatible partner
Author Mrlonelyone Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 xxoo Thanks. I removed the picture from where it was because I thought I was done with responses to this. You are probably right. If I get out and mix it up in the community more I'll find someone real. Being transgender is something most people cannot handle. The worst thing, is how many people of all kinds will gladly have a fling with me or experiment but wouldn't be willing to be seen with me JIC anyone notices.
carhill Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Realistic with a location-dependent variation in available dating pool. I'd likely have issues with a pre-op M->F transsexual. I did have social relations with a post-op (she said) M->F transsexual in my younger years but she declined to date me (I asked). She lived in the area of town predominantly populated by gays and lesbians and I met her through a straight single's group, so I presume she was looking for a straight man. If you're working long hours in a highly technical field, as a woman, that will necessarily limit your dating pool in and of itself. Add in pre-op transsexual and that further reduces the pool. Your requirements might reduce it a bit further, but are minor IMO compared to the two issues I mentioned prior.
Author Mrlonelyone Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 Yeah your probably right. I think in a journal entry here( I can't see my journal here now) that I worked it out. Where I live 6% of the population is LGBT and in general If 1% more is added for the people open to dating a transwoman then it's like 7% or so of the population I start from. I wonder how different that is from the average person. I mean there are things about us all which could be deal breakers. i.e. choice of religion, even favorite foods (i.e. a strict vegan dating a avid carnivore)
