Introduce yourself

Be with people who treat you as you deserve to be treated. You need to be treated with affection and respect.

 

Hello,
I'm a bisexual from an already dismantled English community in Rio.
I lived in Berlin a few years ago, but now I'm back in Rio.
I think that if it was not for my upbringing, I'd be a lesbian.

I tried to edit my thumbnail picture but...

Nice to meet you all!

 

Welcome!!

 

Hi, I'm Kris, or just K.
I'm 41, from southern California born and raised, but currently living in Indiana, near Chicago. I'm single, never married, things with guys have never seemed to work out. I'm still holding out hope to be a Mom one day. Right now I'm a cat mom.
I realized last year that I was into women, I kind of knew it from a teenager but refused to deal with it, I pushed it back. because my family isn't so accepting of this. As I got older I learned that I had to make myself happy and stop worrying so much about everyone else feelings and expectations. I realized there was nothing wrong with having these feelings, love was love. If I'm being honest, I'm attracted to both sexes, but have been so disgusted with how men have treated me, that I really wanted to give my feelings toward women a chance to explore and see where it can go.
I have been looking for a place to chat with people about all this... I hope everyone is doing well, happy Friday!

 

Thank you for sharing! You’ll find your not alone here on HF! ;-)

 

Hi and welcome! My bisexual journey has had some similarities to yours. Glad you have called out your same sex attraction by name and hope you find some ladies, or at least one, to have some worthwhile experiences with!

 

Thank you for the kind welcome! LOL, I only seem to be getting responses from men, since I've been posting. So, maybe women aren't gonna work out for me like men haven't. Idk what else to really do except keep moving forward.

 

We definitely need and wish that more women were posters on the forums!!

 

Wish I could be a woman lol. But seriously one reason you might not be getting responses from them, at least here, is there don't seem to be very many, at least bisexual ones. I do acknowledge it's important for birds of a feather to flock together, so do keep searching even if it's not here and even if it's just for moral support.

 

Don’t loose hope! The women will respond…keep up the journey and adventure;-)

 

Hi, Kris, luckly for you you're attracted to women as well. I always think of how lucky I am to also like women when men behave like that.

 

Thank you for reaching out to Kris! ;-)

 

My name is Laurette, I'll be 49 in June. My Coming-Out was just over three years ago, after several years of realizing that I was a victim of traditional expectations and learned normalities; devoted wite of a man, loving mother, career woman. This convinced me that sexual orientation is innate; I always was lesbian, it just took me most of my life to realize it, and then do something about it.

I am pleased to have found this board, and I'm looking forward to sharing my experiences, as I am reading about the experiences of other lesbians.

 

Welcome!

 

Hi Laurette, I'm Alex. About three years ago was my coming out as well. I haven't been with another girl in a long while but was living in queer neighbourhood, in the same building lived many transexuals. Despite of that, times were weird and conservative even at this place and some neighbours came to my door pushing me to come out as a lesbian. I came out as bi, first offline, then, about one year later, online on my blog.

 

Exposition on the forums is worse for women, with cyberstalking, etc. I had a bad experience in a gaming forum once, although I had been a memeber for a while. It's safer here since it's a LGBT forum, but it took me some time reading the previous messages and getting to know people before I decide to interact.

 

Hey everyone! I'm a 38 y/o lesbian in the Midwest USA. I have been with my gf for three years and I am so lucky to have her. This forum takes me right back to high school this is wild! Anyway, I'm looking to burst out of my bubble so say hello.
