TG Personals: The primary way you will meet t-girls and admirers is through transgender personals.  It's not the only way, but it's where people who are serious about meeting others go to place and respond to ads.  Lots of people use transgender personals, and for a variety of reasons.  First, there are many transsexuals, crossdressers and transgendered people who seek the friendship of other t-girls.  Transgender personals are a great way to meet new friends.  Reach outside your normal circle of contacts to meet new friends who truly understand you.  You'll find lots of interesting people in the personals.  Many of them are looking for romance or sex, but most also enjoy meeting new friends.  There are two ways to use the personals.  First, you can browse the photos and profiles of t-girls and admirers in the personals to find those with the perfect traits for you.  You'll likely have hundreds of ads near you so you can be selective and look for just the right one.  Second, you can place your own ad and let them come to you.  Be sure to include a photo and you'll have a much greater response to your ad.

T-Girl Nightclubs: While it isn't for everyone, nightclubs can offer a fun public place to out out dressed en femme, or to meet t-girls who are out on the town.  Many crossdressers and transsexuals find comfort in TG friendly nightclubs where they quickly find that they're accepted and welcomed. These nightlcubs and bars are usually gay and lesbian bars that are transgender inclusive.  Some will identify as GLBT (inclusive of the transgender community) while others will identify simply as gay and lesbian, but many still welcome transgender people.  We have a TG nightclubs directory here at TGGuide.  This is a great place to start your search for a friendly and accepting nightclub where you can go en femme comfortably.  Due to the nature of bars changing management and clienteles, we strongly recommend that you do a little research.  Go to Google.com and research the nightclubs. Locate and review their web sites or call ahead to be sure they still welcome t-girls.  You'll find virtually all staff at these nightclubs to be very friendly and informative on the telephone. No need to be shy.  Give them a call and get information before you show up!

TG Support Groups: Most new crossdressers and transsexuals find it desirable and usually necessary to reach outside their normal circle of family and friends, to obtain the support they need.  Let's face it.  Nobody understands us like other transgender folks.  There are many groups dedicated to tg people.  Some are more socially oriented groups while others are structured to be peer support groups.  Some offer counseling and other support services for transgendered people.  We provide a list of transgender support groups here at TGGuide.com.  These groups come and go so you should do a Google search to see if you locate support groups in your area.  Do a new search for transgender support in "YOUR CITY."  If you find a group we haven't listed or that needs to be corrected please contact us and let us know.   These groups may or may not be focused on social activities, but you'll meet new friends regardless. 

Social Networking Sites: There are many transgendered people in the social networking sites.  In fact, we invite you to Twitter with TGGuide.  You can join social networking sites like Myspace, Twitter, Tagged and others to locate transgender friends.  You never know who you'll meet.  This is another great way to meet local friends or to set up connections for places where you travel. 

Play it Safe: You should steer clear of criminals, drug users, liars and other undesirables.  Please take the time to get to know people online before you provide any personal information. Use common sense to weed out the bad apples.  Most t-girls and admirers are good people but there are definitely those who should be avoided. Screen them, just as you would any other friends or lovers.  When you do meet someone you'll become intimately involved with it's a very good idea to practice safe sex.
