		<description><![CDATA[I transitioned 12 yrs ago. I had a ton of gay men all over me. They were not trans chasers, but they were tops who LOOOOOVED the idea of a boy with a pussy. Since I appeared otherwise 100% male, shaved my torso, and was very good looking in a boyish all american blond way, also was kind of slightly fem in bed ...this provided me with a sort of &quot;package&quot; that made sense to them. Apparently there are a ton of men who love the idea of their bottom having a vagina and a very tiny cock...who knew. I did exploit this by meeting guys on sites. Some sites had fantasies about eunuchs...they were not chasers though, they just had this hard on for the idea that their bottom would have  small or no dick. I&#039;ve been with my current guy for almost 3 yrs and we are very serious/forever. He is a handsome, in shape, upper class guy 10 yrs older than me (41) and kind of a daddy. He&#039;s never dated an FTM or knew about trans men before he met me, and he sees me as a guy with a different kind of anatomy that he thinks is perfect. I&#039;ve heard  alot of t guys complain about the scene out there, but after the first few years I didnt have problems. I&#039;m writing to let everyone know this is possible.

 
FILL A NICHE. Thinking about my sex/romantic image like advertising, creating a look that fit in with my body and sex interests. since i am subby and like getting fucked in my pussy, I made the pussy an advantage.. I found a target group of men who liked fantasies about fucking eunuchs, I started writing free erotica on their site about hot bottoms with pussies and they loved it.... ppl were emailing me as an author, asking for stories. Then when I saw there was a need I put up a personal and pics, and about what kind of man I was looking for. I didnt use the words trans or ftm in my byline, but I made it clear. I also went to certain male sex clubs in nothing but boots and sunglasses. Trust me, I had my pick. You have to find the audience who will fit with what you are and want.

EXPERIENCE HELPS. I think it also helped that I used to be  a hot straight girl. I know how to get a man and hold his attention. I know how to be an object of desire, even being a man. I feel very confident with men romantically and sexually. I know how to get what I want from them, and I know how to tell them what I want. Honestly, if you are a bottom and esp if you like men slightly older than you, reeling them in is not much different than it was. Even when I top I found this sense of confidence useful. If you never did this as a &quot;girl&quot;, or were a lesbian, I suggest hanging out at gay bars and passing for young and  letting men buy you drinks, with the plan to NOT GO HOME WITH ANYONE. Go home alone at about 1am at the latest. Turn down everyone, if you like them get a #. Getting compliments and free drinks builds confidence. Men can tell if youre intimidated.

WHAT ARE YOUR ASSETS. It helps I was very male looking and good looking. But I&#039;m not perfect. For instance I have to work to be in shape, and Im not thin at all. But I have a bubble but, and I think thats hot. I have great features and eyes. Maybe you have muscles, or nice legs or a sexy voice. Maybe your loaded and have that sort if wealthy man intimidating attraction. Play it up. If you are worried about &quot;passing&quot; I recommend waiting longer to throw yourself into the vipers pit. Unless you dont plan to medically transition.

CONFIDENCE. This is playful and assertive and sort of come across as too confident to recognize an insult. People insult you to chip your confidence. If some guy says to me &quot;your ass is kinda girly&quot; I say &quot;Thanks.&quot; and smile as if he meant it as a compliment- do I know? Who cares, I think its a great ass, so I&#039;ll take it as one. If they say it because I told them I was trans I say &quot;yea, men have always loved my ass, Im glad I got to keep it.&quot;  I see the &quot;girly&quot; parts of me as things that make me more sexually appetizing and unique.

WIT.  When a guy says &quot;why didnt you stay a woman&quot; out of innocence, I lean close, touch him somewhere almost indecent, and  say &quot;And miss out on all this? Why would I want to do that&quot; or &quot;Oh, I make a *Terrible* woman, really&quot; and shake my head as if he&#039;s said something silly. I spent nights just coming up with lines.

 COMFORT WITH SELF . I am comfortable with my body and men can tell. I wasnt at first- i was younger and hotter, but I wasnt comfortable, and people were sometimes jerks to me and I didnt get alot of phone #s. After I did work on how I feel about my body and who I am, this changed. For me, it was about realizing I actually enjoyed my pussy and didnt want surgery after all- I just wanted someone who enjoyed it as much as me. I know who I am, and  I feel good about myself and who I am and I think Im worth alot both because of my personality qualities and my physical ones- I dont mean in a vain or conceited way but its important because ppl can tell and it makes you more attractive.

KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES. And maintain them. Decide ahead what you will put up with and when it happens, cut the bitch loose.

ALWAYS BE WILLING TO WALK AWAY. In the beginning (not from a boyfriend). When you meet someone, don&#039;t be clingy. Have fun talking to other guys and enjoy yourself, without the plan to get laid or get a date. When you plan to go home with someone the disclosure convo is looming and intimidating. But when you plan to go home alone its very liberating. You are safe, and they dont know why your so hard to get in bed. They just know you value yourself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve actually been to many places in Europe, more specifically being London, Cork, Rome and Paris, noticed that homosexual couples were very commonplace, the GP not batting an eye.

It&#039;s a very American thing to label and stereotype those different than oneself. Quite ignorant too, I might add.

Would go into a detailed explanation of how and why this came to be, and my personal opinions on this but.. it&#039;s rather unrelated to the topic.

Figured I&#039;d throw my two cents in, TMYK. 
Apologies if this upsets/infuriates anyone. I did not mean for it to do so.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I gotta say the best advice I could give is to lay off the &quot;typical&quot; gay scene. There&#039;s a is some truth in the stereotype of the mainstream gay bottom obsessed with dick. I think bear FTMs have an easier time because they are in a subculture in general where the body of the group has been marginalised. 

That being said, you may have more luck with say a granola, vegan feel good guy instead of one who is out clubbing and hooking up left and right. His priorities aren&#039;t going to be finding a good man. 

I can&#039;t vouch for being an effeminate top: I&#039;m extremely masculine, so I can tell you masculinity goes a long ways. Being ideally male proportioned doesn&#039;t hurt either: many transmen simply do not look like biological men. Their bone and skull structure simply look different   (How many 5&#039;2&quot; bio guys do you know?). I wouldn&#039;t blame your woes exclusively on being trans, I know a hot switch who is an effeminate ftm and he is *never* turned down. Of course he screens guys well and is very good-looking.

I guess your deck of cards really do affect the game you can play.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Semi-femme gay FtM here, only barely passing, as well. I&#039;ve honestly been terrified of coming out to anyone, including family (the threat of being disowned looming overhead), due to living in a small town nearly dead center of the Bible Belt of the US. People in my town and surrounding ones are very closed-minded and have known me for fifteen years (here) as a female. I&#039;m more attracted to the metro or femmy boys, but there is no way I&#039;d ever get a date here. I&#039;d be better off in a LDR, even though I&#039;ve never been able to make them work for long. The whole situation has been rather hopeless, to be perfectly honest. The few gay guys I do know have given me the &quot;why did you bother&quot; speech more times than I care to count. I don&#039;t suppose there are support groups for guys like us? lol]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Semi-femme gay FtM here, only barely passing, as well. I&#8217;ve honestly been terrified of coming out to anyone, including family (the threat of being disowned looming overhead), due to living in a small town nearly dead center of the Bible Belt of the US. People in my town and surrounding ones are very closed-minded and have known me for fifteen years (here) as a female. I&#8217;m more attracted to the metro or femmy boys, but there is no way I&#8217;d ever get a date here. I&#8217;d be better off in a LDR, even though I&#8217;ve never been able to make them work for long. The whole situation has been rather hopeless, to be perfectly honest. The few gay guys I do know have given me the &#8220;why did you bother&#8221; speech more times than I care to count. I don&#8217;t suppose there are support groups for guys like us? lol</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Damn skippy about that sissyphobia. It took me a long-ass time to take femme-ftms seriously (So hypocratic, considering my own femme-faults) and once I did so, I suddenly felt ashamed of my own ignorance but also, afraid of other peoples&#039;. If it took me that long to accept myself, who should be able to empathize more than anyone else, how can I expect someone else to?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was this one kid back when passing was still new to me who insisted on telling everyone what a &#039;f*ggot&#039; he was.  I honestly think he told every single guy we met one night.  After a certain point I took him aside and explained that people weren&#039;t responding well because it&#039;s not a word most of us use in an offhand manner and he ignored me.  The next time I saw him he was sporting a few decent bruises because one of the bigger muscle guys heard only the word and not the context and thought his friend was being taunted.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[well, there are some of us, many i might even venture to say, out here who do not need harshness to have a conversation with someone and respect and listen to their point of view, as i am trying to do with yours while minusing the mean parts.  i am curious about what the inappropriate language was, and who punched it out of them?  i mean this question sincerely.  thx for the apology.]]></description>
