I just wanted to share my sucess story to the TG community!  Having finally received my complete makeup kits earlier this week, yesterday I decided to see how feminine I could make myself look, despite being surgery free as to date.  Having never used makeup before, I researched various gender sites I had a good collection on how to apply makeup corretly.  With a pink tank top & shorts I gave it a try and finished with putting on my wig.  I looked in the mirror and I thought I looked quite feminie!  But I wanted to see what others thought, as my opinion could be biased; so I took a picture of my face with my cell phone.  I created an account on the free dating site and posted my picture.  Click on the link to view it:

Immediately, I started receiving emails and chats from other members telling me I am gorgeous, beautiful, sexy, and attractive.  In the last 24 hours I had 26 men interested in me, 1 couple, and one Tgirl (who I really am becoming friends with) wanting to take me out on a date.  I'd say that's not too bad for a first timer in complete corssdressing!  Again check me out, I dressed up again today so there is another pic as well.  click here to view:

Let me know what you think!

You look good Jenna.  I don't know if it is you phone or not, but you seem to be a little dark on the foundation.

I concur the foundation was be a little dark, I went a little lighter on my 2nd try in the blue shirt picture.  Thanks for your input Janet, much appreciated!

Yes. You look charming. To provide any suggestion on makeup, I may need your photos in higher resolution.

Barbie~~

Thank you Barbie!  Unfortunately I currently do not have a decent camera, these were taken with my little cell phone camera.  I hope to acquire a new camera in a few weeks, I will try this again and post some pics with some resolution in them!  Thank you very much!

Wow That's amazing Jenna ^_^ And I couldn't even tell that was a wig. You looked very much the part to me

Thank you very much Samantha!  I was sure to purchase a quality wig, the lady wearing it in the sale picture kinda looked like me so I figuredthere was a high probability of it working and looking realistic.  The key trick is to research and create your own tutorial proceedure before attempting to look female.  Again, thank you!

Hi Jenna,
You look gorgeous, its impossible to tell you just dressed up and you are wearing a wig, im sure you will have success passing as a beautiful girl.
Im a straight guy who likes cd from time to time, and it crossed my mind several times to do the same as you did posting my pic when dressed up and see the attention, but not aiming to go out impersonating a genetic girl, which is not my intentions at all, so it makes me ask you the ignorant question as  follows...since you are not saying your nature what if you are in a date and the guy/gal in front of you gets the truth of who you are, even if you deny it, whats the feeling if you already had the experience, im just wondering.

Thank you for the complements Morpho, I'll add this to my data!  Having recently begun my transition, I decided to conduct an experiment to see how others viewed me (attractive, beautiful, appalling, masculine, etc.) as a lady by posting myself on the dating site; I have no intent to date anyone on the site at this time and will remove my account after two weeks of data collection.  So far, I have had 99% of the responses being very positive on my looks and personality, which is a wonderful reassurance of both my future success in society as a woman and the path I'm taking towards feminicity is headed in the right direction.  Unfortunately, there is one more response (1%) that did come across the truth.

A few days ago while on the dating site, I did receive one message from a guy saying, "You're not fooling anyone, bro."  Somehow he did know the truth about me and instantly my heart literally felt like it had been stomped on and put out like a cigarette.  It hurt very much.  The magnificent house I was building from everyone else's wonderful complements towards me almost went ablaze by this one little struck match.  But I quickly reminded myself that practically everyone, at one time or another, has experienced being put down by the rude and insensitive remarks of an arrogant jerk; the key to overcoming the slandering is to have a "fire extinguisher"  in place and ready to use whenever the need should happen to arise.

After reading the message and my few seconds of feeling loathsome and atrocious, I quickly tapped into the closest fire extinguisher at hand – all the other members of the dating site giving me affectionate complements earlier.   I started chatting via instant messenger with a few members and I told them, "I'm a little upset at the moment; an arrogant jerk just made some rude and distasteful remarks towards me."  Telling that little sentence to someone else and being able to share my feelings lifted a great burden off my chest and my mood began improving instantaneously!  After badmouthing the arrogant jerk a little more and a couple laughs with the members I was chatting with, I was able to forgive and forget and was back to feeling great once more. 

Psychiatrists use this technique as they often have patients talk about and let out their problems instead of keeping the problems bottled inside.  The sooner the match can be put out with your fire extinguisher the better, so the fire doesn't spread or cause permanent damage to your house.   Have a support group amongst family and friends that you all can communicate with to help one another out during these times of need.   Or be creative with the resources at hand, as I did by chatting with other dating site members.  The important thing is to let your hurt feelings out; by doing so you will be right back up to where you were before.  I hope this is helpful Morpho!

The photo quality is not very good, so don't put too much trust into other people's reaction to it.

Hi Fencesitter,
Albeit the photo quality is not the greatest since I used my cell phone camera, none of the pictures on the dating site can be viewed in detail since the pictures are only 2"x2".  Plus in looking at others' photos you can tell if they're hot or not st first glance.  I will take your comment into consideration though, thank you.  I should have a good camera in a month or two; I will probably try this again at a different dating site then to see if photo quality led to a bias in my results.  Thanks again for your input!

Hi Jenna;

Thanks for your reply, i regret to see that unfortunate experience, actually my comment above was ment for incase you encounter a similar but in actual life not virtual experience.
I am happy for you to be able to stand up back again after this small punch on the nuts or whatever, i feel is very negative and totally coming out from the ashole side of a poor bastard,

Jenna the truth is the truth, and other might feel also offended if one of us want to mislead the message.
I personally wont feel anything as my intentions are not to change my sex, but i feel is a total ofense to do that to a sensitive person that is trying to arrange her life and is one of the hardest things that someone has to face. I have friends that are strong now and laugh at these jerks but inside they get another scare to keep, anyways, you will feel better when unfortunately will get a collection of these scares, i suggest you to give a ->-bleeped-<- and go on but think first about the consecuences before you do or put on something.

One day i went out to walk on my super thigh high black pvc 5inch high heel boots and a miniskirt (thoses ones with different layers like a flower) my legs were well shaved and my fishnet just look very sexy if not slotty, and i put on a padded underwear, i though no one will see me, but a guy and his gf came out from nowhere and he told me in an unfriendly way "nice boots dude but you are not my type".

I responded to him with my usual voice as i dont have any fem tone or accent "thank god, is not you who im fetching up im fetching your girlfriend, shes is looking at me with couriosity and i know those looks", as she was near him and wnated to avoid anyproblem she said to him you are a moron, I told her "and he is so coward unless he tell me his problem now no matter what", anyway i was very into trying to fight the guy with a lot of pleasure, actually i felt good and really wanted the dispute to happen, i dont know why, maybe i was so excited with my little skirt and my sexy look that i wanted to add to my collection of adventures that particular moment, neeeee the guy declined my high heel kicking his ass. i felt that i lost an opportunity, maybe also i was gonna get the girl. hahahaha, she smile back to me as they were leaving, i told her back hey beautiful see you around, maybe on man mode next time, just remember my eyes. the guy felt more ->-bleeped-<- and could say anything, just a coward...so this can also let you know how many coward are in this world so dont put any atention.

so it ended one cd story on those very few outings, other than that no one cares to see the guy in sexy fem clothes.

A few days ago while on the dating site, I did receive one message from a guy saying, "You're not fooling anyone, bro."

If you think abiut this, this guy is either a lurker looking for trouble or he fancied you but lacked the maturity to say it.

I don't know how he worked it out, but I suspect it was a guess.

However, put yourself into the position of someone on a dating site, scanning the photos. You see someone you don't fancy, you move on. You see someone you do, but lack the confidence to say anything, you think about it for a bit, then move on.

The guy is a jerk. More to be pityed than disliked.

Hey Spacial, I couldn't have said it better myself.  I'll even tell you about the 50+ year old loser I told off last night.  A week ago when I first started on the dating site, he sent me a message wondering what my age range was for possible lookers.  I saw his age and told myself NO!!! but I wanted to be polite and replied I was looking for people within 5 years of my age, but the boundaries can be changed if the right one comes along.  He then shot back a rude remark habing to do with the right one but I decided to forget about it and he won't be back. 

Well a few days ago he apparently forgot he had already messaged me because he left another message of him wanting to hit on me, but I'll give him credit, half an hour later he realized his mistake and sent another message saying he remembered me now.  And I was fine with that because I figured he would finally actually leave me alone.

But no - last night he wanted to pick a fight with me for some reason and sent me a message saying, "according to your profile you must think you're pretty hot ->-bleeped-<-."  And my first reaction was to be mature about it so I blocked him from my account.  But then a drop of testosterone must have somehow found its way out of my testes and I decided I'm going to unblock him temporarilly so I can tell him off and get the last wordf in before I block him again!

I simply messaged him, "You can always tell when people are greatly insecure about themselves when they have nothing better to do than try and bash others that are far superior to them - I believe that is what is referred to as a LOSER!"  And he quickly replied, "I feel sorry for anyone who meets a whore like you always being superficial (Look it up)." 

So I decided now was a good time to tell him off and be done with his childish replies.  I wrote back, "Again youe insecurity is clearly evident right now, but I gues that's expected from an ignoramus with a bantam, decrepid, flaccid microphallus such as yourself."  And I then blocked him so I can only imagine what he thought after that!  Don't mess with this girl because she has balls of steel!

That wasn't bad. 

Try to be careful that you don't get a reputation. But, whatever, best of luck and have fun.

Be really interested in hearing your next installment.

I know, I don't want to start a bad reputation because truly that's not like me at all; I'm good at biting my tongue, but this guy was just begging for me to put him in his place.  I'll post my next installment as soon as it happens!

jenna next time just dont reply let them waiting for a reply, thats the only thing they are willing to get from their little lifes, a simple reply from anyone, so dont givem the luxury of having yours, ignore them, or show them a "finger smiley", silence can hurt ..alot.
cheers

On a happier note, last night I had a fun conversation/chat  with a transgendered girl currently in transition on the dating site.  She's very cute as well, not to mention pretty impressive; she said who she was straight out on her profile which was completely different than the transgendered girls I was friends with in high school and college.  I hope and therefore am going to try to still stay in contact with her after my experiment ends. Granted, there were a few ladies online who were jealous I was chatting with her instead of them, but hey, I wanted to talk and get to know the transwoman more, that's life!   Actually the two ladies who were jealous both individually have the idea that it would be fun to pretend she was a piece of white bread, her boyfriend was a piece of white bread, and I'd be a sexy slab of balogna and then do some hard core sandwiching action up in there!  It's actually is pretty interesting what they have to say to try and get me, but I play it safe exprssing only the slightest bit of possible interest so they continue on!  All right, that's the post of last night, sorry it wasn't the most exciting for you to read, but I enjoted it very much.  We'll see what happens tonight when I read and reply to their multiple messages they left me while I had my attention directed towards the most important one!

I agree completely ignoring is the best defense to put against a jerk trying to rouse trouble, and that's what I did on his his first three attempts to get under my nerves.  And I even started out ignoring him at the start of his last set of tries to irritate me as far as actually blocking him, but somepeople are simply too stupid to understand what no response means, so in order to put an end that person needs to be put in their place.  For example, if someone came up to you and started to continuously whistly loud in your ear, the first approach would be to ignore it, usually if the instigator can get a reaction he or she will give up  But after trying to ignore them for a quite a while and the person is still whistling loud into your ear, you're finally going to get fed up, stand up for yourself, and knock that person out so your message is clear - don't mess with me.  He's blocked though so I can easily ignnore him now and hopefully I've sifted out all the losers!

Then i agree, let me know how your experiment goes you can pm me and we can keep contact and sharing ideas on experiments like this, keep well
