I’ll be honest — before MeetMTF, I had no clue where to start. I’ve always been attracted to trans women, but every site I tried felt fake, sketchy, or full of people who weren’t actually looking to meet anyone. Half the time I wasn’t even sure if the person messaging me was real.
I joined MeetMTF expecting the same thing… but it was different right away. The first thing I noticed was the ‘Verified Member’ badges — finally a way to know who’s legit. I set my distance to 15 miles, hit the ‘Who’s Online’ filter, and instantly saw real profiles from around Seattle. Actual faces, actual bios, not random bots with one photo.
That’s when I saw L. She had the Verified badge, a cute selfie in a bookstore, and a bio that didn’t feel fake. I sent her a Flame just to see if she’d notice. Five minutes later she messaged back. No pickup lines, no weird energy — just a normal conversation. We joked about our terrible taste in movies and how both of us secretly love 90s rom-coms.
Later that night, she suggested we switch to Video Chat right inside MeetMTF. Honestly? That’s what convinced me she was real. Seeing her smile, hearing her laugh — it just felt natural. No pressure, no weirdness. Just two people actually getting to know each other.
For the next few days, we used the app’s First Date Ideas feature to bounce around options. We ended up picking something simple — coffee at a little café in Capitol Hill. She showed up in a sweater and jeans, super relaxed. And she was even more beautiful in person. Confident, sweet, and easy to talk to.
Now it’s been two months. We message on MeetMTF every day, and we’re taking things slow but steady. For the first time, I feel like I’m dating someone who really gets me — someone who lets me be myself.
If you’re a single guy trying to meet trans women without feeling creepy or out of place, MeetMTF is honestly the only website that made it feel normal. Safe, respectful, real — exactly what I was looking for.”
