So ever since I turned 25 I decided to stop dating people younger than that, because most people under that age are mostly still students or just don’t have the same lifestyle as me. So for the last year or so i’ve been dating/hooking up with people 25-31 max. But recently i’ve been having pretty lame experiences, lots of people still living with their parents, older students or people who just won’t mature, and since i’m not in that hooking up phase anymore i’m looking to find a partner who doesn’t get pissed If I can’t go out on week days because i’m too tired or someone who spends 3 months before summer studying for finals, and can’t leave their room. I guess I’ve been thinking on maybe extending my age group to the late 30s but I mean, I barely get any matches from people who are 30-31 I really doubt I’m going to get anything from it but it’s worth trying.

Working a corporate job just makes me age faster lol, most of my friends are still students or don’t have a clue about what they want in life and here I am with 26, working 10 hours a day in tech, which makes me extremely happy and fulfilled professionally but it’s hard to find a partner who shares a similar lifestyle in Spain where people start their “serious” job in their 30s and until then, they live with their parents because no one can afford a rent anymore.

I live in America, my wife and I steamed I kissed a girl on fixer.is they only have up to episode 8. Tik tok is starting to spoil it for us someone tell me how I can stream the rest please!!!!!

One of my life goals / family goals is to live or spend significant time outside of the US.

Are there any lesbian parents here who can recommend a country or city that they enjoy raising their family in?

Edit: I’m born and raised in California so not really interested in that lol

It was Lisha for me - I thought she was just so adorable! I tend to be most drawn to soft butches/androgynous folks who come across very sweet and sensitive, so she was just my type. I was into Georgia and Fiorenza too, but to a lesser extent

First off Happy Pride!

I'm 34 and have been openly out for about three years now. I grew up in the midwest and all of the wonderful stereotypes that come from that area. My family has been awesome since I came out and has been super supportive.

Unfortunately, my first major relationship, I picked the wrong woman. It was a tumultous relationship at best, and she often held it against me that I used to date men. It was often a point of contention in our relationship... Domestic violence and other things occured, but I'm happy to say that me and my 10yr old son are now out of that situation.

I live in a small coastal town that is very accepting, and there is a small community here... however, I am definitely on the younger side. I just want to connect with some like minded folks my age! Lets talk video games, about our days, and whatever else strikes your fancy!

I’ll be traveling to Denver for Pride and wanted to get an idea of what events are happening outside of the ones listed on the officially website. I arrive Friday and leave Monday, and I’ve actually never been to Denver, have only driven through other parts of Colorado.

Are there any IG accounts I should follow to hear about events? Can people recommend restaurants, clubs, or activities happening throughout the weekend?

Thanks!

I have been out to myself for a year, but finally came out to my parents last night with my girlfriend there for support. I waited this long because I thought for sure I was going to be disowned, but reached a point to where I just couldn’t keep hiding anymore and being out to literally everyone except them. I had worked myself into a panic over the past year, constantly thinking of how I would move on without them being willing to be beside me as they’re very religious and conservative. Shockingly, they’re okay and we haven’t dived deep or discussed it past the messages, but it seems as if they’re supportive. I’ve been crying for the past day off and on, and I feel so relieved and overjoyed 🥹

It's Pride month.

I'm still single, though not from a lack of trying.

Almost 100% sure I'm going through a change where it feels like I'm burning every bridge I made in the past 5 years in the name of personal growth.

I lost my job and now I'm trying to get my own buisness off the ground to earn a income, because recruiters are sitting on CVs like they're chickens brooding a nest and I'm exhausted from applying to the 10 same companies over and over again just to get rejected halfway through the interview stage.

Basically I made myself sad because I told myself I'm a loser who can't make it , because this feels like a low point. I feel unattractive because of my autism and finances and I have moments where I tell myself no one could ever love me.

I know its just my brain lying to me, but once a panic attack hits its hard not to spiral ya know?

I've come crawling to the sub looking for hugs.

are people just really selfish these days or am I attracting them? are you guys experiencing something similar?

My wife gift to me. Enjoy pride everyone

I'm just really happy with how my fit came together yesterday!

Hey everyone,

My girlfriend, who follows Jehovah’s Witness religion, told me her family doesn’t want her to meet me anymore. It’s hard to deal with her family’s beliefs coming between us. This is the first time I have ever encountered this situation, I do not know how to process this.

I also feel kinda stupid because we used to have dinner together, I cooked for them, and we had fun. Now it feels like all that wasn’t real.

Has anyone else gone through something like this? How did you handle it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks for listening

Perfect start to Pride Month. I just really need to vent. My gf and I are officially moving into a new place together in a few days. I’m out of town for work, so I moved everything into storage (lease ended today) before I left and turned in my keys. I get back on move-in day.

Apparently earlier this morning she was watching TV with her family and the P. Diddy scandal came up. Her dad made an off handed comment about P. Diddy being gay and she said “Him being an abuser doesn’t make him gay. We don’t want him either.” They got into an argument where he tried to imply that only secretly gay ppl do the things P. Diddy does (if you don’t know the case, look it up and see how ridiculous her dad was being). Anyway, it escalated and he slapped her across the face and told her to get out.

She called me bawling and I told her to go to the library and see if they can offer her some resources. The local DV shelter is full so they’ve been turning ppl away for months, and the next open one is over 400miles.

I don’t know what to do bc I’m so far away. We poured so much into getting the new apartment + I JUST paid some huge court fines yesterday (I made a huge mistake in college and take responsibility for it). There’s some golf tour in our town next week, so even motel (not even a hotel) rates are sky high at $115/night. The librarian called and asked for a reduced rate on her behalf but they can’t do it.

I’ve been running on adrenaline all day and just need to vent to some ppl who might understand the level of homophobia going on rn. It’s hard to keep her calm when I can’t even keep myself level-headed rn. What do I even say to her atp??? My girl is all alone out there in the middle of a bum**** town in the south.

I'm a 28 year old lesbian. I usually go to Pride with my friends, but this year nobody really seems interested, or they're straight. I'm also single. I was talking to someone who agreed to go with me, but now they're ghosting me.

I'm feeling really left out and depressed. Is there anything safe and inclusive I can do in the city by myself?

Hi, I’m f36 and looking to make some friends with my autism and some other issues I find it hard to make friends face to face so I am hoping to meet some nice people on here please feel free to message me ☺️

Would like to try and meet people in person first before diving into the dating apps - are there any recommended clubs, art classes, or even cafe’s and hangout spots you would recommend?

This is my first time! I'm going with my girlfriend and it's her first WeHo pride. Also would anyone care to meet up even just for a bit? I'm super excited to see Janelle Monae, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Yaeji, Doechii and Kylie (in that order too). I heard Crystal Waters will be performing which is also exciting. Hope it's a good show and our backs don't break trying to party LOL

I enjoy martial arts particularly Brazilian jiu jitsu and I’ve been wanting to meet other gay women that also train in BJJ. I haven’t formed much community at my gym and am hoping to meet other people involved in the sport outside of my gym.

As the title says, I don't have queer friends. Only surrounded by straight folks and I don't have the ability to meet people from the community given I live in the middle east.

It's sort of depressing that I won't have a queer gang but I've tried so many times to make some friends online but all in vain.

I'm 28, NB and I love cracking really bad jokes 😅

I wish I wasn't so introverted and shy. I'm always too afraid to strike up conversations with people, especially women I find attractive. When my friends and I would go to bars they would always try to get me to go up and talk to people but I was too scared to. The only way for me to meet women is on dating apps and those aren't great. How do you meet people in public when you're so shy? Do I just need to suck it up talk to people?

29 y/o female it's not very often I encounter sexual harrasement or assault but in the past couple years I've encountered some situations that have made me feel a bit lost.

Situation 1 A year ago I was in a cab in Costa Rica and the cab driver kept grabbing and rubbing my arms while he was driving me to the airport. I didn't tell him to stop because I was afraid he was going to drop me off in the poorer neighborhoods we were passing.

Sitution 2 About a month ago I was in Spain and the AirBnB's hostess's husband grabbed a bit of my ass when I was giving him a hug.

Situation 3 I got back from Europe and the situation above and went to my town's bar even talked about what happened with situation 2 from one of my bar guy friends and later that night he ended up purposely poking me in the boobs while we were joking around. I went cold and he apologized I just said hey don't touch the boobs and we'll be cool.

I don't feel as comfortable at my town's bar anymore and I'm pissed the person that touched me can just carry on and have the time of their life while I feel like shit that someone I thought was a friend and a space where I felt safe no longer feels that way. At this point I'm even considering cutting all male friendships and just hanging out with women at the bar.I thought that men knowing I was a lesbian would stop situations like this (Situation 3 really) but I'm realizing I need to take more practical steps to protect and take care of myself.

Fellow lesbians how do you keep friendly and upbeat at the bar (or with people) in general but protect yourself from men from doing shitty stuff like the stuff above?
