Well it's important to know what you are compatible with and what you are looking for. If you're not the socializing kind of person you won't be able to find someone through going out, troon or not.
I'm a rather normal looking cis guy who in theory could do all the usual dating stuff (like bars/clubs or tinder/bumble for het, and gay scene and grindr for dudes) but I'm very neurodivergent and I hate every second of it whenever I try (and I tried a lot). I learned the "hard" way that I'm incompatible with normies and normie dating, but I guess this is fine, I just stopped trying that way.
I tried dating off 4chan for a bit because generally the people from here are more compatible. I just needed to get used to the fact that the only women on here are trannies (bot on the flip side, they fuck on the first date, so I've never had as much sex as when dating off 4chan). The problem here is more the distance, that if I got to know someone we often lived hours apart. Also most people on here are completely dysfunctional and I've got a way to normal-ass life for this.
So now I'm trying to get to know people through shared hobbies and spaces. And while I feels much better, with much less anxiety and even if it doesn't work out you still get some local friends, I am still (or again) single... So it's not really working either
