Is my profile written wrong? Am I in the wrong section (women for women)? Or maybe it’s just who I am? I’m trying to be honest and up front on who I am without pulling any hiding or surprises. But have been totally unsuccessful in even finding new female friends. Sure, I get catfished to death or the attemped hustles from gold diggers. But real? Nope. I'm looking for serious suggestions please. Save the sarcasm and whit.

Your profile looks fine ,best of luck

Been on here for five years and this is your first post?

You want to be upfront and honest, yet youre a straight male with a female profile. It is only towards the end that you mention it. Perhaps mention it in the first part of your profile.

Better yet, why not chose your sex as male (which you are) looking for a female with the disclosure at the beginning?

Conundrum. I know.

The "Lipstick lesbian trapped in a man's body" comment is off putting. (Many hetero men throw that around thinking it makes them look witty. It doesnt.)

Youre not a lesbian. Nor are you female. You are a straight man who likes to cross dress. Huge difference.

Your pictures look photo shopped.

As a whole, your profile is well thought out and well written.

^^^^^ what Storm said.

I also agree with Storm

Hello Motown. Yes. My first post. Until now I had nothing to intelligently offer the forum. So instead of post just to post... I kept quiet. I don't even volunteer comments to those I see on the site because I would rather have those that want to communicate do so on their own terms. Not to see me as chasing someone. I feel my situation is such that there are going to be very few ladies that are open enough to desire any kind of a friendship, let alone a relationship. They know who they are, and how they feel. I don't need to go bothering every lady on here who may not be.

Storm: I appreciate your comments. I assure you there is NO photoshopping. I want people to see, and accept me, as I am. Not trick them into anything. That's like putting a picture of a Ferrari in a sale add and when someone comes looking they see a 1966 Fairlane. They would turn and walk away without a word. Now, you please understand where those like me are coming from as far as the "male in a lesbian body" statement. Without knowing how those like me feel, think or mentally process anything you would not understand. So much of me IS female. To focus on the physical body is only looking at half a person. How a persons brain develops from conception is still being examined by medical science with more and more being understood every day.
As for your first comment about posting being upfront and honest - YET I'M MALE WITH A FEMALE PROFILE. I refer again to what I just said above. You are focusing on the body. Is it the genitals or the brain that should dictate? This debate has gone on for so long. To go a bit further - there is no PROPER place for me to post. Should I post as someone that presents female in the male for female section? Two problems with that. 1) I would find no ladies there that desire my "type" there. They are looking for 100% males. 2) Males would bombard me with either hate speech or as so many already do - not read the whole profile and think I'm female and try and approach. Either way it's not ending real pretty and a total waste of time.
Why post in female to female? My thought was this would be the section that would be the most likely to have accepting bi- or bi-curious ladies. At the very least have ladies that are open minded just looking for friendship.
Unless you have walked a mile in my heels you just couldn't understand the hardships someone like me goes through. But I really do appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Hi AnthemSteph,

Id like to share what I see in one of your pictures: Leaning up against the tree, I see an outline of your body. I do not see any indication that you are actually leaning against anything. I see zero natural shading from the sun/sky. I see no dapple of sunlight nor an indication of natural movement of your hair with your head tilted back. Just an observation.

As far as no "proper" place to post, I get that. M2 has two options which does limit ones search. From what I have noticed, you are on an active and predominantly hetero site. There are a lot more people than you know who are in that same situation. There are other sites which have more of an accepting approach.

Hate mail happens. Inane comments happen. When you choose to set your M2 email settings, it will cut down.

From what I understand, Bi/Bi-curious women desire to be with women at that time.

As far as my "not understanding" where those like yourself feel/think, etc. I understand far more than you assume I dont.

Thanks for responding to my comments and sharing a part of yourself.

Welcome to M2.
