In case you are new to this forum you should know that most of these types of posts rarely get a response and are generally just a waste of time, energy and space.  If you sincerely wish to elicit a thoughtful reply you should ask a specific question that would indicate that you have done at least some research before posting your request.  For example, there are nearly 1,000 instances of the words “first time” in this forum over the past three years.

One of the most useful resources is the “Search Reviews” function here on TER.  Leave “exclude bad websites” set to “yes” (I always set my searches to “no” but you shouldn’t use this feature if you don’t have the time or inclination to research anything but active links).  A little further down the page is a “city” box – since you are probably interested in a specific city or area I recommend making this selection.  Right near the bottom is a box labeled “transsexual” – assuming that is what you are looking for - set that box to “yes, pre-op”.  You could press the “search” button without the pre-op selection but you’ll usually get way more GG profiles than TS.  Even so you may get a whole lot of ‘hits’, if this seems like too much work for you to wade through, I recommend that go back up the page and set the “overall average” boxes at some high level, 8 to 10 should usually do it.  Now hit the search button – the profiles will now be screened only for those with the highest average ratings, significantly focusing your search.

Sorry to have to ask you to do this, but you should now read up a little on the reviews in each profile to decide whom you might like to meet.  Be advised that contact information (phone# and email) on each TER Profile can sometimes be a little out of date so you will want to check with the ads or websites listed on the profiles to verify current contact information.   Unfortunately the website and ad links also go out of date without notice so you may have to move on to another profile.  Otherwise be prepared to do a little more groundwork on your own to track down any additional information you might require, such as who will be available when or some recent photos.  If you should stumble across bad links (or new or more recent links) while performing your search it would be helpful to everyone for you to report them to TER using the little “report a problem” button at the top of each profile.  However, please don’t waste the staff’s time - only report new links if you are absolutely certain they are valid matches to names, phone#’s and descriptions.

After you’ve done at least this much homework, a specific and thoughtful question or two to the forum is much more likely to not only result in a reply but may get you one that could actually be useful.

One final piece of advice.  Here is a recent post with some links to useful background information which I personally think should be required reading for everyone:

It is very important to be honest with yourself about the origins of your interest in this subject.  The link below is to a post with some text that was originally taken from a website dedicated to “outing” pathological “trannychasers”:

The original website is no longer active but the real point is to be sure that you are clear about why and what you are seeking here.  You are not only much more likely to find it, but everyone benefits by keeping this community safer and saner.

Best of luck,
