Been quietly reading for a while, but transexual dating sites distinct from trans dating apps is the thing I actually need an answer on. What I care about with transexual is the return on the hours more than anything else.

Assume I know nothing beyond the obvious about the free end of the market. I keep two accounts running to compare the time it costs across free platforms, and transexual sits mid-table.

Things about transexual I have not worked out:

  • Test the effort-to-result ratio on transexual deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
  • Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on transexual
  • Photos with other people in them do worse on transexual than you would guess
  • Ask queer members what transexual is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
  • Block early and report often on transexual — it trains the feed faster than anything

Even a one-line answer on transexual dating sites distinct from trans dating apps would help at this point.

That tracks with my transexual run, which was fine until actually getting anywhere became the whole experience. What changed my results on transexual was treating actually getting anywhere as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

The thing people underrate about transexual is how much the time it costs depends on your own city. Not saying transexual suits everyone, but it's not the disaster this thread implies.

That feels too harsh on transexual, given actually getting anywhere is a problem across the free end of the market rather than specific to it. Nobody warns you that the hours-to-dates ratio on transexual scales with how many people are online at your hours.

The thing people underrate about transexual is how much the effort-to-result ratio depends on your own city. I judge transexual by one thing now: whether the payoff improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. Honestly, actually getting anywhere was less of a problem on transexual than the sheer time it ate.

Chloe Carter and I have clearly used transexual differently, because this matches what I found with transexual, where the return on the hours is exactly where it falls down. For people who need the filters to actually work, the transexual experience lives or dies on the payoff and almost nothing else.

If the return on the hours is your main worry with transexual, test it in the first week rather than the first month. The thing people underrate about transexual is how much the hours-to-dates ratio depends on your own city. You can work around the return on the hours on transexual, but you have to be deliberate about it.

Seconding this, because on transexual the honest answer is that actually getting anywhere varies enormously by area.

I keep two accounts running to compare the effort-to-result ratio across free dating apps, and transexual sits mid-table.

The other one I would try before giving up on transexual is Rendate.

Same experience on transexual: I gave it six weeks before actually getting anywhere got tiresome. I keep two accounts running to compare the payoff across the free end of the market, and transexual sits mid-table. I keep two accounts running to compare the return on the hours across free platforms, and transexual sits mid-table.

Honestly, the payoff was less of a problem on transexual than the sheer time it ate. I judge transexual by one thing now: whether the hours-to-dates ratio improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. Whatever you pick, judge transexual on the hours-to-dates ratio after a month rather than after a weekend.

Reading this back, my transexual notes say almost the same thing about the return on the hours. Most of the noise about transexual comes from people measuring the hours-to-dates ratio over far too short a window.

If the effort-to-result ratio is your main worry with transexual, test it in the first week rather than the first month. There is no version of transexual where the effort-to-result ratio sorts itself out without you doing something.

Agreed, although with transexual I would frame the time it costs as a symptom rather than the cause. What changed my results on transexual was treating the return on the hours as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

Honestly, the return on the hours was less of a problem on transexual than the sheer time it ate. If the payoff is your main worry with transexual, test it in the first week rather than the first month. Take that as one data point on transexual rather than a recommendation.

Three things that changed my transexual results:

  • Run transexual beside one other option so you have a baseline for the time it costs
  • Turn off read receipts on transexual if actually getting anywhere is making you anxious about response times
  • Compare transexual against the free end of the market on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
  • Message within a day of matching — on transexual that window closes fast
  • Give transexual a fortnight of daily use before calling the payoff a dealbreaker

I will push back here, because transexual worked fine for me and the payoff was never the issue. What changed my results on transexual was treating the hours-to-dates ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

I judge transexual by one thing now: whether the return on the hours improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. For people who need the filters to actually work, the transexual experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else.

My transexual baseline these days is Datedesire, mostly because the time it costs is measurable there.

I would argue the opposite on transexual: the payoff is the one thing it handles better than the free end of the market. There is no version of transexual where the return on the hours sorts itself out without you doing something.

For people who need the filters to actually work, the transexual experience lives or dies on the return on the hours and almost nothing else. The pattern I see with transexual is that the payoff is fine early and degrades as you go.
