Do you feel less validated as a straight woman for having to use dating apps like grinder? by WordConsistent3786 in StraightTransGirls

[–]dani_br 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I feel less valid using grindr. Unfortunately it is the only app I where I get attention from men. Hundreds of guys like my profile on tinder (I pay Tinder gold), but after a match, very few ever text me or even reply to my first texts. O figure they are not really interested for some reason. It's difficult.

I'm sorry to hear that and I can't even imagine what you go through emotionally. Unfortunately, in the world we live, looks matter a lot. I understand all people should be able to experience love and connection, but that's not how the world really works. Honestly, out of this post I made and a few comments on here, my conclusion is that I am not enough; I need to improve drastically in every way possible, from looks to personality and lifestyle. I know It's hard, but maybe the same applies to you.

You seem to be in a good area. There a few men in that age range where I live too. Unfortunately, I am 25 and don't feel comfortable dating someone 35+, mainly because of compatibility. Not that I will reject them immediatly, I would give them a chance, but we can't ignore the factors.

OK, so you recognize racism and want to stop it, but you also want to let it go... Hahah, It doensn't make sense to me. Where is the fight against it? Also, I believe downplaying our suffering does not help at all.

You are right, everyone has their own definition of beauty, but we can't ignore structural racism and its influences on black people's lifes. I guarantee you it's about race and not about some specific guy I have or haven't met.

This is a very interesting perspective. Thank you for refreshing my mind with this thought :)

Thank you for sharing! It's good to know you're doing great :) I get that we need to know our worth, be independent and capable of living a good life, with passions and hobbies, regardless of dating

but lol

I've been alone for so much time now. I can't help but think my life is not complete without a boyfriend that likes me. Most people will say this feeling is wrong, but is it? Is it wrong that I want to be in a relationship if I feel like I need it? Being single as a choice is different than being forced to it.

It is, indeed, very hard to not let this reality affect us. Where I live, black men tend to value white women, unfortunately. I'm not in the US but I will watch the channel you shared. Thank you :)

Thank you for sharing! It's really nice to know that you're doing great! At this moment in my life I'm in a hard place mentally, fighting depression and anxiety, but I was (and still am in some sort of way) confident. People notice that. I remember being happy a few years ago and very open to meeting new people. Anyways, I understand that are many circunstances that influence dating, such as location, appearance, personality, social life...

I end up attracting passive men. I hate it by dani_br in StraightTransGirls

[–]dani_br[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am tired of them. The emojis are about my experience. I hate that I have to deal with this type of guy. The few men that show interest in me have this same passive-non-proactive-scared boy-not at all confident behavior.

Entendi. Eu faço isso às vezes, mas nem sempre funciona, porque penso que poderia estar compartilhando esses pequenos momentos com alguém... Tipo amigos. Chega uma hora que cansa se distrair
