Trans dating is niche, b/c: 1. There aren't that many of us. 2. Many people won't consider us. 3. People who are into us are often REALLY into us. This means the people who do DM us are highly qualified leads. Counterintuitively this makes it pretty easy to get dates.

RN for example I have 14 "intros" people have sent me from the past few weeks that I haven't replied to. The conversion rate when I do respond is high; typically the dude will want to set up a date soon, or want me to "come over." But I have zero interest in most of these guys.

So the game for me becomes maximizing the size of my funnel, so that more people send me DMs. So I stay subscribed to my service (OKCupid) because it helps with that. It takes a day or two for my "list of likes" to fill up and I typically get a few unsolicited messages per day.

All in all, find it easier to date using
$MTCH than meeting people. Makes me more comfortable and brings the leads to me. The only problem is MOST of the prospects aren't desirable. Enough are that I stay subbed. Trans is a small demo but there have to be more niches like it?Show this thread

Bi/pan here and it lets me be upfront about it and select against people for whom that’s a problem. Also there’s a “don’t show me to straight people” option for folks in the closet or avoiding unicorn hunters. All that said okc seems intent on ruining all these good things.

Oh interesting. Cool to hear from another LGBT perspective. I've had more luck on OKC than on Tinder. Not sure why. I don't follow the updates closely tho, I just let my likes/DMs fill up and then respond. Definitely get unicorn hunters... weird experience for sure.
