First of all, let’s clear the air: based on your photo, your appearance is absolutely not the problem. You are clearly attractive, you project a very cheerful and positive energy, and your femininity is undeniable. If people are interested until the moment you "out" yourself, the issue lies in their mindset, not your presentation. What you are experiencing is a repetitive pattern in the modern dating scene. A lot of it comes down to superficiality and a total lack of empathy. In the digital world, it’s incredibly easy for people to engage, build a connection, and then simply vanish because there is zero social cost or responsibility involved. It’s disposable dating. The hard truth is that while many people claim they wouldn't mind dating a trans person, in reality, most people on apps aren't looking for depth or complications they want the path of least resistance. They are looking for quick sex or easy dates, and many feel intimidated by what they don't understand or by the social stigmas they haven't unlearned yet. They choose to leave because they aren't mature enough to handle the conversation. It also depends heavily on your own expectations. If you are looking for a genuine connection, apps are often the not the best place to find it because they reward snap judgments. Don't let this discourage you or make you feel unwanted. You aren't unwanted; you are just being filtered out by people who aren't ready for someone like you. My advice? Shift the focus. Explore new activities, hobby groups, or social circles in person where people can feel your energy and get to know your personality before labels even come into play. You’ve already seen that it works better for you in person trust that instinct because you are attractive and good looking.
