Don't own $MTCH but it interests me b/c of my own experience.
Dating is risky for trans offline b/c you never know how a dude is going to react to interaction. Some are cool with trans, but others get violently agitated.
$MTCH helps us by allowing interested men to self-select

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
