Reviews of the Top 10 Shemale Dating Websites of 2024

With almost twenty different Trans Dating sites reviewed on this site, we can understand that users may need a helping hand when deciding which site is best for them. We have extensive experience in independently reviewing the merits of the biggest players in a variety of different markets (specifically in the area of dating sites of all kinds) and hope that this ‘buyers guide’, along with our in-depth reviews, will help users to choose a site that is right for them.

What is TS / TV Dating?

The internet has become a big part of our lives and, as a result, it’s unsurprising that it has also had a profound impact on the way we meet people. Online Dating has therefore become a major industry in its own right, catering to millions of users each year. TS (Transsexual) / TV (Transvestite) dating is simply one niche within this vast industry, covering a great spectrum of different tastes and interests. Although the terminology is often used interchangeably, it is important to understand the basic distinctions between different interest groups in Trans Dating. Transvestites practice cross-dressing, often (although not exclusively) for sexual gratification, while transsexuals identify with another gender and often undertake procedures to mimic the target gender’s sexual organs. ‘Shemale’ and ‘Ladyboy’ are merely terms to represent a M-F or F-M transsexual that have elements of both male and female sexual organs. These terms will be used throughout our reviews, so it’s useful to know precisely what we’re referring to!

Choosing an Appropriate Site for You

The sites in this category cover a broad range of different groups and interests. While some sites may cater exclusively for cross dressers and their admirers, others are a one-stop-shop for ladyboys and those interested in them. Check out our reviews to see just what is on offer at each site so you choose the one that is most appropriate for your tastes and interests.

Common Features

Our reviews go into detail about precisely what is on offer at each site, however, this buying guide should give our readers a heads-up about some features they should look out for when joining a Trans Dating site. Although this is by no means an exhaustive list, the following should give any user (novice or veteran) an idea of what to look out for:

• Photo Profiles and more…

Photo profiles are the bread and butter of the online dating experience. Almost all sites worldwide (and indeed all of the sites we review) offer photo profiles as standard. Photo profiles allow members to share with others their basic stats, likes, dislikes, interests, hobbies, sexual interests, fantasies and more, along with a number of exciting photos. More and more sites are taking this a step further by allowing members to leave video diary messages or audio greetings on their profiles. Look out for sites that offer all or some of these features as standard.

• Instant Messaging

Instant Messaging is one of the most common and important features of modern dating and sex-dating sites. Instant Messaging allows members to contact other users instantly and directly, without the associated time-delay that is experienced through email conversations. Although Instant Messaging (which operates internally in the same way as external services such as MSN and Yahoo!) was once viewed as a luxury feature, it is more and more an essential part of the online dating experience. Look out for sites that carry this feature!

• Forums, Chatrooms and Blogs

Many online dating sites carry a number of so-called ‘community features’ that allow members to communicate with each other through a number of different means. Members can chat about common interests, issues, problems or news through forums and chatrooms; then can also post comments on the posts of others via site blogs. Users of many sites can also check out useful articles, supportive advice and other useful materials that are regularly updated. Although most users will be interested in meeting a potential partner or hookup by using the sites, many users find the community atmosphere generated by these features helpful in settling in to a new online environment.

• Pornography & Erotica

Although the sites we have reviewed in this category are primarily involved with helping users meet others for hookups, sex, relationships and everything in between, many sites offer additional features that many of our readers will be interested in. One such set of features is pornography, sex videos, stories, images and other erotic material. Many sites offer access to such material free of charge (as an element of the site included in the membership) while other sites offer their members a preferential rate on membership of an associated or affiliated site. Either way, if this is something you’re interested in, check out our reviews for information on such features.

• FAQs & Technical Support

While the level of technical support is not the most exciting topic, it is definitely something to consider when joining a new dating or sex-dating site. When something goes wrong, you need to be sure that you’re not going to be wasting your time (and your membership fee) waiting around for technical support to solve the problem. Look out for sites that have 24/7 access to technical support staff where possible, as well as an extensive selection of FAQs for solving more common problems.

"Powered By…"

A number of sites are owned and operated by one ‘parent’ group that provides the software and technology on which the site runs. In industry terms, this is known as ‘powering’ a site and is a common occurrence across dating sites of all types. The extent to which a site is powered by another changes from one site to the next (in some instances the site merely uses the software of the parent site, whilst in others, the sites share the same network of users and profiles). Many of our readers will find it helpful to know when a site is powered by another as it may help to inform their opinion of the site in question. Check out our reviews for indications of when a site is powered by another, larger site or network.  

Privacy, Safety and Security Online

While the internet has brought a range of opportunities across a range of fields, the internet has also brought a number of problems that users should be aware of. When using dating sites of any ilk, users should be concerned to protect their identities and their security online. Users should not disclose their identity to others online until they are completely sure that other users are who they say they are and members should never disclose personal information, addresses, bank details or other sensitive information. With this in mind, users should look out for sites that have procedures and advice in place to help combat these concerns and keep all users safe while enjoying the site’s services.

Pricing and Free Trials

As this buyer’s guide is only ever intended to provide a basic overview of what users should be looking for, our readers will have to check out the individual reviews for each site to find out up to date information on the costs of membership. Many sites do however offer a free or trial membership option through which new members can try out the site and a use a limited number of features for a set period of time in order to get to know the site and what it has to offer. See our reviews of each site for details of the free trials they offer and what each trial includes. Free trials can be a great way of getting to know a site.

The Bottom Line...

A lot of factors should influence your decision as to which Trans Dating site you choose to join. As with all dating and sex-date sites, potential members should be concerned about how active the members are on the site, the price of membership, the features included on the site as well as the ‘style’ of the site in question. Members who are looking for a sexy hook-up with a M-F ladyboy will probably be interested in a different type of site than those who are interested in chat and cyber sex with a secret transvestite. All in all, look for a site that suits your needs at the right price.
