Women who have "only dated men" before...

discussionWomen who have "only dated men" before...

Posted April 18, 2024 by dragonheartJK is my bae 💖 in LovingWomen

Posting here and not on the lesbians circle because I want varied perspectives.

So, I started talking to a woman on a dating app and everything was going fine and then out of the blue she throws in "I've only ever dated men before, I hope that's okay with you?" which gave me pause. I think that's very different to simply saying that you are bisexual right?

Now, to be clear, I have zero issues with dating bisexual women (and have had relationships with a couple) but never once have any of them felt the need to disclose something like that to me before we met; I was just treated as a new person they were getting to know, the same as straight relationships.

It makes me suspicious that she could be experimenting or views same-sex relationships as a "scary" new experience - both of which are off-putting since I'm not a kid anymore.

Thoughts?

Pedestrian crossings are pieces of safety equipment. Any damage to safety equipment would be highly illegal. The fact that local councils are themselves deliberately defacing this same piece of safety equipment via painting them so as to make them ambiguous and unsafe has been pointed out as a problem, but they seem to be getting away with their vandalism. They have even been saying accidental tyre marks on these crossings are a transphobic hate crime, so I imagine they would class chalk slogans as hate crime too.

If tyre marks on a road surface are hate crimes then they better put red velvet ropes around them to stop people walking on them, walking on things is what you do to things you hate, trampling the flag.

Blind people who complained that their guide dogs did not recognise these rainbow crossings were also called transphobic. Old people with dementia who were confused by the crossings were similarly branded as bigots.

there is one I came across about a mile or so away, I had no idea it was there I was very confused myself if it was actually a crossing for people and decided not to use it and carried on walking until I got to a real crossing.

Created December 7, 2020

o/LovingWomen is a space for women who love, are attracted to, and engage in relationships with other women to connect, thrive, and build genuine community in solidarity with one another.

Along with our rules, you must follow Ovarit’s sitewide rules and guidelines. Circle rules, sitewide rules, and sitewide guidelines will all be enforced by the moderators.

No participation by people who are not both female and same sex attracted (biological woman attracted to biological women). Users in violation will be banned. This includes posting, commenting, and voting.
The purpose of this circle is solidarity with one another on the basis of our shared same-sex attraction. It is meant to be a place of unity, understanding, compassion, learning, and, most of all, solidarity. Overgeneralizations about women of another sexuality do not promote solidarity. Generalized statements such as ‘lesbians always do x’ or ‘all bisexuals think y’ are not acceptable. Please refrain from treating groups of women as monoliths or otherwise employing divisive rhetoric. Also refrain from unfounded speculation regarding the sex lives and sexuality of other women.
This circle is a female-focused space. As such, there is to be no discussion of attraction to men. I know that we currently have no o/BisexualWomen, but this circle is NOT a catchall for bisexual posts until that happens. Those posts belong in o/Women. This is still a circle for same-sex attracted women to talk about their same-sex attraction, and will remain so.
Assume good faith. Please refrain from being preemptively belligerent or defensive.
No criticism of sexual boundaries.
No slurs or pejoratives. Insults, name calling, ad hominem attacks, and other language used specifically to target another user will not be tolerated. Do not use the words 'cis' or 'cisgender' to refer to other women.
No brigading or vote manipulation.
No pornography. NSFW content can be posted, but posts must be marked NSFW.
Gender-critical or trans-critical content must be focused on relationships with women/attraction to women.
No derailing or hijacking. This refers to posting a comment that is unrelated to the topic of the post, which often kills the original discussion.
No attacks, insults, or reciprocation. If you are attacked by another user, use the report button instead of reciprocating. If you reciprocate, you will also be in violation of this rule.
No selfies, spam, or self promotion.
