The Rules Of Lesbian Actually

731 Upvotes

Today, the mods voted on a rule change to the sub. Rule 3 has been expanded to include any post or comment not just directed at one person but, in general, the singling out of a member of our community. This now means that content in the nature of "Would you date ____", "Am I ___ if I don't like ____", "I don't find ____ attractive",etc. are not allowed. The bottom line is that there is someone out there for everyone, and often, these posts are used by terfs and other assholes to make people feel excluded or unwanted.

The rules now are as follows:

Rule 1 - Any form of discrimination will not be tolerated.

Rule 2 - Trans women are women

Rule 3 - The singling out of an individual or a group from the community is not allowed

Rule 4 - No posts or comments attempting to restrict others' definitions of self.

Relationships / Dating My gf realised she isnt into pussy while dating me

67 Upvotes

So I've recently got together with my gf and everything is honestly going great, but when it came to physical intimacy, there were some issues. Before me, she only dated guys (she outed herself as bi to me), so I'm her first lesbian relatiomship. Whenever we would get intimate, she seemed insecure. We talked about it, and after a lot of pushing her she admitted she was probably straight in the sexual sense, but biromantic still. She only realised this while dating me. On the other hand, she did say she enjoyed fingering me and all the other stuff leading up to it (making out, me touching other parts of her than genitals). I love her so much and I want ti make this work but I just don't know how to go about this or if its worth even continuing (in my head it definitely is just because I cant fathom to lose her but am I hurting myself here?). Any advice is appreciated.

Relationships / Dating Do any extroverted lesbians like introverts (not insecure but grounded)

17 Upvotes

Hey, is it weird to be attracted to women who can communicate well? Like, I know it's important for relationships but for me it's like hot in the same way a short dress is.. I'm so into self-confident, loud women they're driving me crazy.

I'm an introvert, will I ever find someone who likes that lol. Like I love going out and meeting people but I'm not someone who talks all the time and am unfortunately attracted to people who do

Do extroverted lesbians usually look for similiar people?

Life Disturbing gym interaction

31 Upvotes

I’m so fucking disturbed. I was working out and this visibly masc lesbian came up to me, telling me “has anyone ever told you, you look like krysten ritter?” I had one of my airpods in but, I think I was speaking at normal volume like how I usually do. She fucking proceeded to tell me word for word “lower your voice” I couldn’t control my face, I was DISTURBED. Then she was said “I was just joking” heh yeah! Anyway she continued to talk to me and ask me a bunch of personal questions like, “how long have you been training?”, “what’s your name?”, “how old are you?”, “what’s ur family name? (I’m middle eastern, it’s a normal question to ask)”. Anyway I was playing along cause frankly this is the most action I’ve gotten in a while. But now after thinking about it, I’m disgusted. Because what do you mean you come hit on me and then PROCEED to tell me to lower my voice. Ew wtf!! Am I overreacting?

Life It's annoying this keeps happening

8 Upvotes

I'm a butch lesbian and hate how other masc lesbians can be so misogynistic. Was watching a TV show where a non-binary lesbian and they made a joke "that's why I have a wife so they can wrap for me" in a way that was clearly disparaging towards women. It makes me so sad and angry how it's a feature in our community but not much discussed

Relationships / Dating Is this okay or is it a red flag?

9 Upvotes

Hi lesbians, I'm a 29 years old lesbian and I never had a girlfriend, I met a feel nice girls during college but after I returned to my town I never met anyone who would match me and that's not a problem to me, I feel lonely sometimes but it's cool. The thing is, I was scrolling through twitter/x and I saw a girl saying that she would never date a woman +23 years old who never had a relationship because that means they're so unbearable and toxic, and if nobody ever wanted them it's because they're trouble, and a lot of other lesbians agreed. Do you guys agree with that? I mean, everyone is allowed to like whatever they want but put everyone inside of the same box is kinda problematic in my opinion.

Relationships / Dating I cried after having sex NSFW

9 Upvotes

I wasn't sure if this would count as NSFW so I just marked it that way to be safe.

So yesterday my girlfriend came over and we were having sex and my nail sort of scratched her and we stopped and i just started crying and saying I was sorry over and over again. I'm not sure if it was because of how vulnerable I felt or because I hurt her or something else entirely but I'm genuinely so embarrassed. If anyone has any other ideas as to why I might have done that please let me know but I mostly just wanted to tell someone about it.

Relationships / Dating Was about to have a first date in two days and she just said things are starting to get serious with another girl and cancelled the date

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone i'm making this post because i have noone to share this with and so i thought maybe i could do it here. Disclaimer english is not my first language.

So i (22F) started talking with this girl (22F) on a dating app. We have been texting for a few days and i felt some really good vibes from our converstations so we agreed to have a date on saturday. I'm kind of a hopless romantic delusional person so i had my hopes high up i felt really positive about it i never felt this positive about another girl on a dating app. I even considered to buy a flower or a fortune cookie for the date so i was really hyped up i even planned my outfit.... Until i got a message from her in which she told me that things started to get serious with another woman and she cancelled the date and whished me the best.

I'm glad she didn't ghosted me but i feel heartbroken, i was super excited and for what?

I know that i have problems when it comes to getting attached to people and imagine future scenarios but still it hurts. It came out of nowhere and i don't think it should hurt this much.

I just want to have a girlfriend who i can share all my firsts with and have a deep connection where we can communicate without using words and you know what i'm talking about...

I also have another date with this other woman and i'm exctied about that as well i guess i'll see how it goes

Thank you for reading my nonsense and fail in the online dating world

Also i'm living in budapest so if you're also living here feel free to connect cause i'm lacking queer friendships as well. I would love to join a queer firendship or community.

Relationships / Dating What do you bring to the table in your relationship?

16 Upvotes

I was thinking the other day about relationships and you often hear people share stories of what their partner brings. What do YOU bring and what could you do better at? I’m interested to read your answers, I think this could be an opportunity for people to think positively about themselves or reflect on what they’re not bringing to a relationship. People get comfortable and with comfort can often bring laziness and lack of effort. Your partner deserves to feel loved, prioritized, wanted and desired.
